Michelle Obama – Don’t Vote Because “She’s Cute”
Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., right, listens to Mary Henley during a forum in Richmond, Va., Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008
Might she be talking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin?
“I’m talking about me,” she said with a smile.
Barack Obama’s wife, however, is not on the ticket in the presidential election. Palin is.
Her remarks came at a women’s round-table on the economy as Democrats work to neutralize the appeal that Palin has brought to John McCain’s ticket for some female voters. They are doing so gingerly, so as to not appear sexist or invite another lipstick-on-a-pig tempest.
Michelle Obama told the audience her husband is only candidate focused on equal pay, health care, affordable college, teacher recruitment and other issues of concern to women. She said that’s what the election should be about.
“People shouldn’t make a decision this time based on, ‘I like that guy’ or ‘she’s cute,'” she said.
The line won a big round of applause. Before it subsided, she interjected: “And I’m talking about me.”
So, now Team Obama has unleased the wife of “The One” to attack Sarah Palin. First, it was “Lipstick on a Pig” and now “She’s Cute.”
Anyone see a pattern? Remember Sarah Palin’s primary qualification is “She hasn’t had an abortion?” Allah’s (Via MM) keeping track of the Obamas’ smears on Palin.
Flap guesses Hillary wouldn’t do their dirty work so they went to someone who would regurgitate verbatim their bile.
Now, will there be any feminist outrage?
Doubtful……

I think Michelle’s remarks reveal the following:
1. The voting public are not smart enough to vote the issues, but are easily swayed by superficial things such as looks.
2. She specifically is putting women down, by pointing this out at a women’s round table.
3. By claiming Obama is “only candidate focused on equal pay, health care, affordable college, teacher recruitment and other issues of concern to women” she is segrating women’s issues from men’s issues, so they can be put down and then saved by Obama.
4. Spreading misinformation about McCain/Palin campaign. In point of fact Obama’s campaign pays its women staffers less than the mens, while McCain’s pay women more than the mens.
5. Implies that people in the last election made a decision on looks, “People shouldn’t make a decision this time based on, ‘I like that guy’ or ’she’s cute,”

Hey don’t you think Michelle Obama looks like Shirley Hemphill from that show what’s happening. Always pissed off and ready to kick your ass.And why.. can’t she close her legs when she stands up? I won’t say what species she resembles, i bet they have a nice porch at their house on the south side of Chicago

I’m curious if you, or your previous posters, ahve begun to hnacge your views now that the Obamas are preparing to move into the White House?
Thus far, they seem to be a class act.
