Michelle Obama: Barack will FINALLY unveil his plan Friday!
Posted on September 23, 2008
The Obama campaign is all kinds of gung-ho about the debate Friday. They really, really want people to tune in. Why, I don’t know. If, uh, you know, I, um, were, well, uh, you know, uh, Senator — hold, hold, hold on a second — um, you know, Senator Obama, I, uh, you know, um, wouldn’t, uh, um, uh, want to be, uh, debilitating, I mean, debating, uh, you know, um, Senator McCain, uh, um, uh, on, uh, national Univision — damn it!! — national television, that’s it!, uh, you know, without, um, a, uh, teleprompter, uh, that, um, you know, he could, uh, read his, you know, um, prepared, uh, lines off of.
But, apparently they still want everyone to watch. They must be pretty anxious about it, judging by the two e-mails they sent Michelle Malkin urging her not only to watch the debate, but to host debate watch parties. And, miracle of miracles, Michelle Obama is telling us that Barack is finally going to tell us what his plans are!
Transcript:
Hi everyone, this is Michelle Obama. The first presidential debate is coming up on Friday, the 26th. It’s gonna focus on foreign policy. The candidates will debate their different views on how to keep America safe, strengthen our relationships with our allies, and restore our role in the world. Many Americans still don’t know much about Barack or his plan to bring the change we need. They don’t know about his timeline to bring troops home from Iraq responsibly, or his plans to rebuild our military and to achieve energy independence so that we can end our reliance on foreign oil once and for all. And they don’t know his plan to restore the middle class, to cut taxes for 95% of American families, to provide healthcare for every American, and to improve our schools. They also don’t know that John McCain shares many of George Bush’s views. In fact, he’s voted with George Bush more than 90% of the time, including not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans, and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class. So, this debate is a great opportunity to introduce Barack to your friends, family, and neighbors. That’s why all across the country, people are coming together for debate watch parties. A debate watch party is a great opportunity to get together with other people who support Barack, and to reach out to folks who are undecided. That’s what this movement’s all about: people coming together to talk about the issues that matter to them. So, I hope you’ll host a debate watch party in your home, or attend one in your community. Visit this website to get more information: my-dot-barackobama-dot-com-slash-debate. You know, there are just a few weeks left ’til election day, so now more than ever, we need to come together. Thank you.
The “no one knows about Barack’s plans!” line was a little odd to me. Considering how vague and unspecific Obama has been throughout this entire campaign, you’d think they didn’t want to go there. And lies and mischaracterizations about John McCain aside, the plans she speaks of are just plain odd. I’m really, really curious how Barack Obama will manage to “rebuild” the military, “give” healthcare to EVERY American, “improve” schools, and “restore” the middle class — all without raising taxes. Either he believes in money fairies or Michelle is lying.
Oh, but wait! He’s finally going to get specific about his plans this Friday! He’s going to finally tell us exactly how he’s going to raise taxes, enforce socialism, make the standard model for “big government” seem like a libertarian’s dream, and ruin everything we’ve fought for in Iraq.
I’m so excited. I can’t wait to hear all these great plans Obama has. It’s going to be so awesome.
Hey, you guys laughing in the back — can it. He’s for real this time. I know he’s said he’s going to get specific for a long time, but this time, he means it.
I think.

He has a plan?
I can totally see your point. McCain’s plan to enlist the country’s incredibly talented, amazingly experienced, well-spoken, intellegent running mate and “bomb our enemies” and blow everything up is genius. I feel completely confident in the leadership of those two. Like stinky and the brain. It’s going to be awesome.
She reads (watch the roving eyes) the cue cards horribly. I really felt like she was talking to me, didn’t you? At least she didn’t utter an “UHHHH” once.
Nixon had a plan.
We fought for something in Iraq? What?
“McCain’s plan to enlist the country’s incredibly talented, amazingly experienced, well-spoken, intellegent running mate and “bomb our enemies” and blow everything up is genius.”
Huh? You might McCain is going to enlist Joe “Gaffe-o-Matic” Biden?
Indeed, Joey Hairplugs is doing a super job all by his lonesome when it comes to blowing up his running mates’ candidacy. That clever “no coal plants” comment he made isn’t exactly going to help His Majesty in coal-producing areas of, oh say, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, etc.
One more thing: “intellegent,” m’lady, is spelled “I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.T.” Jesus, Joseph, Mary and All the Blessed Saints, if you’re going to be a frothy-mouthed moonbat, at least use proper grammar, syntax, and spelling–you need all the respect you can get.
They don’t want to come together and discuss, or even debate. They wanna yell in my face, argue with me, force me to get uncomfortable. They wanna tell me about “change” and the different kind of campaign they’re running, telling me what a bad dude John is and what a great guy Barry is, talking out both sides of the mouth while blowing smoke up my a**.
AND… I can’t WAIT for socialized medicine, when Barry tells me to sod off, I am a burden on society - having a chronic, incurable illness - but I have to keep working and paying taxes so they can keep handing out food stamps and Medicaid to the folks who voted for him.
Michelle Malkin missed the point on the “Michelle Obama thanks me” post.
The key sentence is “Attend a debate watch party.”
That is cult behavior. Cults do not like their members alone in situations where their beliefs might be challenged. It is much better to be in groups when those situations arise because then group pressure or solidarity will help the members through these challenges. Sitting at home alone watching the debate, or sitting at home with someone who is not a true believer, doubt might creep in. Maybe the One is not all He says He is. But in the emotionally-charged atmosphere of a debate-watch party, those doubts will either not arise, or if they do, they will quickly be forgotten.
Obama has said that his experience as a community organizer was important in his run for the presidency. Now you see why.
Obama stumbles when he speaks? That doesn’t even make ‘rightwing sense’, and God knows that’s an incredibly low bar to reach!
If I was supporting an administration whose “leader” was a functionally illiterate, stuttering, mumbling, buffoon, I’d probably want to avoid comparisons between him and a well-spoken, intelligent, erudite candidate… Then again, if all you care about is winning (where’s Bin Laden again? Remember him?), what’s best for America is probably the last thing that crosses your little pea-brains.
Too late for the socialization argument. The whole $700 Billion dollar bailout has already guaranteed that. No money for either of their programs after that, tax-cut or tax-hike.
