Charles Krauthammer on Michelle Obama’s DNC Speech: “I’m Sure It Was a Great Speech But I Didn’t Buy a Line of It”
Question, Who was Michelle Obama talking about in her speech last night? It might have been the Obama of 2008, it certainly is not the one of 2012.
Oh, Michelle Obama was talking about Barack Obama during her speech last night? The failed president who gave himself an “incomplete” for his first term in office as is looked upon as the most partisan and divisive president ever during a presidents first four years. Wow, Michelle Obama actually had the nerve to say the following?
“I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them” – he doesn’t care whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above…he knows that we all love our country…and he’s always ready to listen to good ideas…he’s always looking for the very best in everyone he meets”
Last night first lady Michelle Obama gave her speech at the DNC in Charlotte, NC talking about the man that she wanted to be given another 4 years in office. However, during her speech I really did not know who she was talking about. Her glowing comments and praises of an individual hardly compare to the individual who has been President for the past four years. Michelle Obama made it sound like Barack Obama does not have 4 years to be judged on, whether it be political or personal.

“She told the story of a Gandhi. And considering the way he’s conducted himself in the presidency and particularly in the campaign, with ruthlessness and determination and drive, it’s not quite a plausible story…. I’m sure it was a great speech but I didn’t buy a line of it.”
Was Michelle Obama’s speech delivered in a powerful way, yes. Was it a good speech for the first lady, yes. Did anything she say compare to the Barack Obama we have seen in the past four years, NO!

16 Trillion Reasons Why to Vote for a New President and New Direction
Yet another powerful political ad with no personal attacks against Obama or the Democrat party, just the truth …
With the National debt hitting $16,000,000,000,000, the American people have been provided another 16 trillion reasons why to vote for a new President of the United States and to change the direction of America. Under President Barack Obama the National Debt has risen $5.3 trillion. So what do you think another 4 years would mean for America and “We the People”?
Video Hat Tip: 16 Trillion Reasons.com
Since President Obama Took Office, The National Debt Has Risen $5.3 Trillion, An Increase Of Over 51 Percent. (US Department Of The Treasury, TreasuryDirect.gov, Accessed 9/4/12)
In 2008, candidate Obama said that George W. Bush’s increase of the federal debt was unpatriotic. So what does Obama call doing the same thing in half the amount of time?
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” (July 3, 2008) - RCP
America, can we really afford another 4 years of Barack Obama and a Democrat controlled Senate? Only 28% of Americans think that the country is headed in the right direction. How can we afford to continue along this path with this President? Some times you just have to cut a man loose.
Democrats Say …“Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To” … Hmm, I Thought the Government Belonged to We the People?
A Tale of two Political Parties … So this is what “Hope & Change” looks like.
Put aside all of the political rhetoric, all of the attack ads, and all of the pleas using emotion rather than the present economic facts, if you ever wanted to know the difference between the Republican and Democrat party, one needs to look no further than the below VIDEO where Democrats put forth their true belief … “Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To”.
HUH? Looks the the fine folks at the Jawa Report are scratching their heads as well. Over at Michelle Malkin they say, hey tyrants, speak for yourself. Isn’t it peculiar that every so often the Democrats get full of themselves, let down their veil and expose us to what their real mind set is. As Doug Ross opines, the Dems have let down their mask and We the People are just perplexed as to how a Party could have drifted so far to the LEFT.
In all of America’s political history, you could probably not find a single opening statement at a convention more at odds with America’s founding.
Make no mistake about it America, as the GOP believes and espouses and as Mitt Romney tweeted, WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT … THE GOVERNMENT BELONGS TO US!!!
The Democratic National Convention has signaled from the start an unapologetic, and at times, confrontational, liberalism, marked by details like the presence of reproductive rights activist Sandra Fluke.
A video that showed on the convention floor Tuesday night offered an unusually direct embrace of the role of government in American life: “Government,” says the narrator, “is the only thing that we all belong to.”
Sorry America, the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the radical, unhinged Left. This is not only not your father’s or grandfathers Democrat party any more, its not the one I knew from the 80′s or 90′s either.

Democrats Drop God from Their Party Platform at the DNC in Charlotte, NC … And Drop Jerusalem is the Capital is Israel as Well
IN GOD WE TRUST … not at the Democrat National Convention or the Democrat Party Platform.
Hmm, what should we make of this? Democrats have dropped God from their party platform at the Democrat national Convention in Charlotte, NC. This is rather unbelievable. Do I believe that the many good people in America that are Democrats are “Godless”, no. Do I believe that the lunatic fringe that has taken over the Democrat party that JFK would hardly recognize, yes. Hell, former President Bill Clinton, tonight’s DNC Keynote speaker, is far too right to today’s Democrat party. All of the Democrat pundits do not want to answer why they removed “GOD” from the platform. They claim its a distraction. Well gee Dems, who caused the distraction? Are you going to blame that on others as well?
Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”
Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
From ABC News comes the following, For Democrats, there is no God in 201. Just for clarity to Democrat law makers, delegates and voters, this is not Fox News making this news headline. But as Weasel Zippers states, who needs God, when the Democrats have the Chicago Jesus, the Obamaessiah.
We are reminded by the Right Scoop that the Democratic Party Platform also refuses to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel this year even though they did just 4 years ago.
In the end it is obvious that the moonbats have taken over the Democrat party. Why would anyone want to insult religious people of Christian faith or Jews? Sorry, just answered my own question.
