Michelle Obama spoke to supporters of her husband, Barack Obama, at the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center in York Tuesday April 15, 2008.

Yeah, YOU are.

Michelle Obama pushed back against the notion that her husband is elite and out of touch while campaigning in Haverford, PA today. The potential First Lady ignored any reference to the more controversial portion of Sen. Obama’s remarks about people in small towns clinging to religion, guns, or anti-immigrant sentiment as an outlet from their economic frustration.

Before listing a litany of economic burdens on middle class voters — mortgage payment, rent, car note, gas, groceries — Mrs. Obama sarcastically told the sizeable crowd at Haverford College, “Maybe I’m missing something. Maybe I’m out of touch.” She then administered a pregnant pause for effect.

Attempting to further demonstrate her husband’s regular guy credentials, Mrs. Obama told the college student crowd that the Obamas have just paid off their student loans a few years ago. “Now when is the last time you’ve seen a president of the United States who just paid off his loan debt? But, then again, maybe I’m out of touch,” she repeated.

Now, Michelle doesn’t get it either.

A comment about Obama’s student loans - PLEASE………

What no “false consciousness?”

Talk about sleeping with the Donor recipient. How about Michelle Obama bringing home the pork for her employer and then receiving a nice 100 K plus raise the next year.

Pretty good work if YOU can get it or your husband is a United States Senator named Barack Obama.
