Entitlement Blindspot #1213821639216 Michelle Obama

I am BEYOND TIRED of idiots (of all political stripes) and their entitlement attitudes. Mrs. Obama says that she is

JUST NOW. RIGHT THIS MINUTE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE.

Proud of this country and proud to be an American.

Give me a f*cking break, Michelle.  Do you have pride in your position, your career?  Your ability to go and come as you please?  The wealth you and Barry have amassed?

Sounds like pride in your country to me.  Because, really, did you ever stop to consider than you wouldn't have ANY of those things if you DIDN'T live in this country??

But Pete puts it more succinctly:

I am retired from a job that no honest man could ever expect to become rich. Honest men in foreign countries in my line of work live in small apartments and bicycle to work. I live in a paid for home on a half acre near the lake. My car is paid for. We are officially in the lower third of income levels here and I am writing on a (paid for) computer. Suppose Mrs. Obama was living where her husband's father lived. Suppose too that she were not wealthy. Would she have a good job? Would she even have all her girl parts?
Read the rest, and let Pete know what you think!

I heard (before I turned off the radio in disgust) an Obama speech where he said something like "The children are everyone's problem; the children are everyone's responsibility."

Hell, no, Barack! Part of the reason I didn't HAVE children is that I didn't feel up to dealing with the "problems" of them. And I'm already being nearly crushed by the responsibilities I have now - no more, please. (I am assuming "responsibility" is a code word for "we need to soak the 'rich' folks making more than $40K a year for more tax money")

Oh, and if you want me to take "responsibility" for someone else's children, do I also get a say in how they are raised? Probably not.

That "Get Offa My Lawn" party is looking better and better...

Michelle Obama didn't do herself or Barack any good with that ridiculous comment. It reveals a lot of pent up rage against America residing in her rich, spoiled brat head.

This rhetoric is typical of the blame-America first crowd.

McCain is looking more attractive by the day.
