Well, I know she worked at a law firm where she started dating "the black man with the funny name" Something she said she at first resisted because it looked kind of tacky the only two black people in the firm dating. They later married, had two pretty daughters and he was elected to the U.S. Senate and served four years. IIRC it was around near the end of that time that she was "finally able to feel proud of the United States" How far back should I go and why should that even matter?
So we went from "For my whole adult life up to this point I was not really that proud of this country" to "For my whole adult life up to this point I was not really that proud of this country because platitudes and fee-fees". Yeah, that's way more clear with the extra words.
She was proud about a specific thing that was happening, you idiot. That doesn't mean she wasn't proud about other things.
Again, the exact quote is "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” Those who view every aspect of life as “What’s in it for me?” insist on interpreting that off-the-cuff remark as “Hah! She’s gloating because her husband’s the President!” Those who have an idea that growing up black in Chicago in the Sixties might not have instilled hope in a young woman who knew the history of her people and wanted to make something of herself and who suddenly found herself in, as she said last night, “a House built by slaves” would understand that she might feel proud for the hope of the country that had come so far in only a few generations. Or, simply, she’d learned to see the forest for the trees.
Speaking of Dramamine, you seem to have pivoted your anti-establishment #FeelTheBern ideals pretty suddenly toward the establishment. You could probably use a couple.
We haven't. You have. Careful you don't drive off the edge of the Earth in that vehicle. If someone says "Good morning" to you, do you spend the rest of the day parsing what he really meant?
Not really. Unlike the weepy Bernie Babies, I remember ’68. The DNC bulldozed McCarthy to make Humphrey their candidate and gave us Richard Nixon. I also didn’t need Wikileaks to tell me Little Debbie was as crooked as a Virginia fence. Bernie was calling for her resignation for months. Again, if you listened to Bernie’s speech last night, it was only tangentially addressed to the crowd. The key auditor was Hillary Clinton. You want to translate what someone said into what you think they really meant? Try this: Every time Bernie said “Hillary Clinton believes,” he was in effect saying “This better end up in the party platform, Madame Secretary, and you’d better follow through.” Bernie’s a chess player. He’s looking at the long game. He’s also a genuine democratic socialist (another combination of words some people have trouble with): “Not me, us.” A.k.a. “The needs of the many…” Sound familiar? If he's succeeded in getting Hillary to promise everything he's campaigned for, that's a win.
I'm not the one in this thread fapping my way toward a hidden meaning from a statement. Michelle's words were pretty clear, Freudian as they may have been.
I know you troll but for the others: my train of thought is actually the other way around. If the electorate is wise enough to give old white men a pass there's hope yet.
So the racist sexist republicans are mad at Michelle because she might have suggested she was not proud of America, but trump is worth kneeling to when he has flat out said America sucks and we need to save it? Thanks for the racist hypocrisy, but you should stop slurping America hating trump before you start casting stones at others for potentially doing the exact same thing as your Lord and master. As for Michelle you guys should not be criticizing her speeches as Lord and master trump and his stepford foreigner mail order bride love her speeches. Fucking Assholes get on the same page.
After 8 yrs of progress with race relations as managed by Obama it's again time for Michele to hold her head in shame for America (Mizzou w sanctioned black-only safe places where whites can't use their water fountains inter alia), race relations have deteriorated and related issues dominate press and college life to exclusion of actual issues - so Michele can again be embarrassed for America back like she used to be.
So what happens when Hillary ignores Bernie's speech? Will that mean moving to a third party vote in retaliation? Also, using the phrase "democratic socialist" is like calling a toilet a "potty". Yes, it's cute and all, but we're still talking about a modest communist, just not using the word "communist" because it's a somewhat uncouth word, just like toilet.
There's this little thing called the DNC Party Platform that pretty much spells everything out: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/papers_pdf/117717.pdf
Party platforms are virtually worthless as indicators of future policy. Hillary's policy will be whatever multi-millionaires pay them to be. She's for sale and always has been.
Race relations have not deteriorated. They have just stopped being covered up and out of view of the white bubble you live in. It has always been there.
I can see it now; Hillary, Hillary, Michelle, Michelle, whomever Michelle picks after, while the Republicans continue their slow transformation into the violent dodo of American politics and eat up everyone in the party with an IQ above 12. So, cry you little bitches, cry!
I see you're celebrating corruption in fact an in theory. As they say, the fish rots from the head down, and Hillary and Obama have caused the Democrat party to be the party of, by, and for graft, kickbacks, payoffs, collusion, and bribes, where the 1% just buys the public policy they want.
You obliviously haven't been paying much attention, I'm not a republican, never have been and I've been supporting Gary Johnson for months now.
