Speaking at the Simmons Leadership Conference in Boston on Thursday, former First Lady Michelle Obama described millions of middle class Americans who voted for Donald Trump as little kids who just want to “eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”
She also likened her husband, former president Barack Obama, to the “good parent” who tried to keep the American house in order, and claimed that Hillary Clinton was "way more perfect" than Trump.
"I always sorta felt like the eight years Barack was president, it was sort of like having the ‘good parent’ at home. The responsible parent, the one who told you to eat your carrots and go to bed on time," Michelle said.
“And now perhaps we have the other parent in the house,” she added. “We thought it’d feel fun — maybe it feels fun to some for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”
I’d just like to point out – for the 4,753rd time, it seems – that this is exactly how America ended up with Trump in the first place.
This, right here.
It was this condescending attitude towards millions of Americans who were understandably fed up with destructive Obama-era policies.
It was this scolding disdain for Midwestern farmers and Appalachian coal miners and middle-class parents trying to pay their crazy health insurance premiums, and the constant suggestion that these millions of hardworking people were just a bunch of ignorant, uneducated backwoods yokels who’re too stupid to know what’s good for them.
It was the arrogant derision of people struggling to pay their mortgages and find jobs as little idiots who just want to “eat candy all day,” as opposed to actual Americans who simply wanted to feel like their lives and families weren’t being overtaken by government.
THIS is how we got Trump. This attitude, right here.
So keep talking, Michelle.
And those stupid American "children" you despise so much? They’ll keep voting.
Here's Michelle's full speech, if you can stomach it. Feel free to be summarily insulted around the 11:30 mark.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
To be fair, it is in your world. In mine, it isn't.
More than ever, we need a moderate candidate and a moderate attitude in voters.
we had a moderate candidate.
you decided to vote for the far right guy instead. way to be wise when its already too late.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Why can't these stupid loser morons like her and Hillary just shut up and go away. Right there is the reason they are losers.
you really sound like a loser when you post that.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I already have parents. I don't need some elected official treat me like a child. I need those politicians to keep the country running, not tell me what to eat, when to be home, or when to go to bed.
“Don’t ask why. Just know that evil, dishonesty, and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least,” Nugent said according to conservative media watchdog Media Matters.
Nugent continued: “So come to that realization. There are rabid coyotes running around. You don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun. Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, you shoot one.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
In our real world you are either a Man who runs with Sasquatch or a sissy half man who runs from Sasquatch.
Choose.
But to elect somebody like Sasquatch, with a really bad wig and not quite as smart? Hmmm...
Besides if a Sasquatch was in your house, you would immediately soil yourself. Hell you didn't serve in the military, you've cried over words on here, and the only bravery I've ever seen out of you on this board is bravely hiding behind others. Trump, the military, some idiot running for office... you latch on like a parasite and claim to be brave... I think you are a coward, always have always will.
And the stereotypes (positive and negative) of much of the members of the protected classes are spot on too....I am not a member of any of those groups and as such, I am unable to go into detail.
"I always sorta felt like the eight years Barack was president, it was sort of like having the ‘good parent’ at home. The responsible parent, the one who told you to screw around with whoever you wanted whenever you wanted then just abort the babies," Michelle said.
“And now perhaps we have the other parent in the house,” she added. “We thought it’d feel fun — maybe it feels fun to some for now because we can eat candy all day and stay up late and not follow the rules.”
Fixed that for you Michelle so now both of your statements would both be just as stupid and asinine.
Why can't these stupid loser morons like her and Hillary just shut up and go away. Right there is the reason they are losers.
Snowflake much?
I have not seen a more class less bunch than Liberals. Most Presidents and First(lady????) have kept their mouth shut after leaving office, but not Barry & Michael. Clinton and Hill stole the silver ware and trashed the White House and Bush hushed it up
Libs are the spoiled children. They set fire to buildings, riot, throw paint on signs attack young girls for wearing a MAGA tee shirt among many other things. Thats why Hillary, Barry & michael should just shut up and go away.
your people spend half of obamas presidency whining that he was a foreign born Muslim.
Literally marching in the streets asking where’s his birth certificate.
The audacity you have to call anybody spoiled children is laughable.

how ironic that you call others class less (did you mean classless>) , yet here you are calling people a bunch of names.

That's funny. I remember a former CIA director and President who recently said his favorite magician was 'David Cop A Feel'. I guess a magic show is what cons consider classy these days.
look how big and bold "opinion" shows on the screen when she starts going on her rant.

She is nothing more than another Elitist who looks down her nose at the rest of America. Just like that post of yours.
So glad her and her husband are gone and no longer selling our the Nation to Globalism.
So far in his Presidency he has had to fix, and continues to fix, the damage done by these Elitists to our great land.

They don't want to admit one of their own sounds worse than Michelle Obama. They have their Ann Coulters, Alex Jones and Ted Nugents. Then try to make a scene about Michelle Obama. It's what happens when hypocrisy rears its ugly head.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Spoken like a true Elitist. Yours is the Superior.
Until of course the American people slapped you down.

All sides have their talking heads but this Elitist was once our First Lady. Big difference to those who have a clue.
So once a person leaves the White House they aren't allowed to have an opinion? See, I understand while someone is the POTUS or FLOTUS they should measure their responses. I just disagree that they suddenly have a lifetime duty to do so.
But we certainly agree that both sides have their talking heads. The problem becomes that people label everyone who votes the same way believes exactly what the talking heads have to say.

There needs to be a balance struck between nationalism and globalization... and if we don't, China is going to run past us while your head is in the sand. (or in another dark, moist place)
Don't dismiss it because you have no idea what it is or how it contributes as a whole...
And you shouldn't dismiss the ideas of others, especially when they are obviously educated and experienced in matters that you are not... being close-minded is not a solution for moving forward...
She's telling it like elitists think it is. She's an elitist snob who thinks she's better than millions of people simply because of who they voted for.. I can't respect that at all.
Diamond & Silk most recently made headlines four days ago when Paul Nehlen - a fringe and literal neo-Nazi they made campaign videos in support of, as well as donations to in the maximum allowed amount of $7,000 a piece - was banned from Twitter for compiling a list of his "Jewish enemies", and was later that day banned from the app Gab for asking when Trump would throw a Jewish writer "in the oven".
Where did avid neo-Nazi Paul Nehlen get his popularity going, one might ask?
At this point Vambo, I've got to ask - are you so dim that you absent-mindedly stumbled into this insane cesspool of racism and anti-Semitism? Or are you barely masking what you really want to say?
Oh, and it's worth asking, of course...has the president had anything to say about Paul Nehlen, weird neo-Nazi who often goes on long rants about how Jews aren't truly white, and deserve to be gassed because they're oppressing the true white man?
Diamond and Silk? Really? Vambo, weren't you and several other GOPers crying because i posted too much, made too many threads? Yep, I stop and now you all flood this forum with pure fictional garbage and "expert" drama. Disgusting.
