Mooch: We Must Lift Others, Not Just Ourselves…
And her husband will make sure the government does it for us.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — First Lady Michelle Obama took the stage at an awards ceremony Saturday with poet Maya Angelou, performers Stevie Wonder and Mariah Carey, and other African American celebrities who called the black community to civic action, starting with voting in the 2012 presidential election.
The taping of the BET Honors, hosted by Black Entertainment Television was held at the historic Warner Theatre in downtown Washington.
It brought out stars including singers Patti LaBelle and queen of soul Aretha Franklin, as well as Washington political figures such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
The politics-meets-glamour event fits in with the recently ramped up efforts by Obama to help her husband, President Barack Obama, win a challenging re-election bid in November.
Obama, in a crimson, one-shouldered gown, presented the Literary Arts award to Angelou and appealed to the crowd to follow Angelou’s example as an activist.
“It is not enough merely to seek greatness for ourselves, we must help others discover greatness within themselves. We need to reach down and reach out, and give back and lift others,” she said.
Speakers at the ceremony praised the Obamas for being the first black family in the White House and told the audience to “vote like your life depends on it.”

She’s watching somebody take the last piece of red-velvet cake. Not happy black woman
Maya Angelou and Michelle Obama and pair of go togther nutcases new age crazies what married to the worst president and the other spounts mindles poetry poppycock
“It is not enough merely to seek greatness for ourselves, we must help others discover greatness within themselves. We need to reach down and reach out, and give back and lift others,” she said.
Is that supposed to sound profound? Only if the speaker believes that she has achieved greatness. She deigns to stoop to us, who have not achieved greatness, and lift us up?
Kiss my ass Michelle, you pompous, money grubbing bitch. The only greatness you have achieved is in being the most hated first lady in the history of the United States.
BET is racist.
What would happen to me and my money, if I were to start up WET..White Entertainment Television? Yea I thought so…Stupid Black racist bastards!!
Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.
Few were listening.
The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised “Meet The Press.”
From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” the then Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”.
NOW GET THIS !!
‘Senator’ Obama replied:
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides…..” “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression….” “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing.”
(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama continued:, “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails – - – perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ……”
“When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice,which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past.”
“Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.”
WHAAAAAAAT, is that???
Yes, you read it right.
I, for one, am speechless!!!
Dale Lindsborg , Washington Post
EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEEDS TO READ THIS, KEEP IT GOING ! ! SAVE AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE ! !
I only watch WET, so I missed this.
I was too young to vote at the time of Clinton’s first inauguration, but I remember Maya Angelou reading her stupid poem. It was childish and poorly written, like a ninth-grade English assignment.
Moochelle is much like that poem. Everyone tells her how magnificent she is, even though inside she is of what we call in Chinese “second quality”. She is tacky, overrated and has no taste at all.
Most of us in middle America hold her in highest contempt, and it is amazing that she is just completely unaware or does not care. If she does not care, then I would ask if maybe she is sociopathic?
@ King: Can you provide a source/link for the dumbfounding quote you posted?
Big talk for a parasite.
all this just for a flag?

bad enough, check out POTUS’ response.
farce. frightening proof of who this goodie two shoes is
“The politics-meets-glamour event fits in with the recently ramped up efforts by Obama to help her husband, President Barack Obama, win a challenging re-election bid in November.”
———–
I feel that the politics of victimhood may have reached it’s climax.
It’s all downhill from here.
Who was she “lifting” when she had to use her own money? She and so many like her only want to lift and serve others when they have someone else’s money to do it with. That’s what makes me sick about “public servants.” They get awards and lots of praise when reality is they would not be serving if they had to use their own money and not the taxpayers. We are the ones who lift others, not them.
That’s fine, we can all agree with right?
WRONG! DON’T BUY!
She doesn’t MEAN that the way you or I would mean it.
She means USING GOVERNMENT AS THE INSTRUMENT!
Not individuals helping individuals. She means REDISTRIBUTION, COERCION, and the Government being the benefactor with those being “lifted” lifted by and beholden to government.
It sounds good, unless you are well versed in proggie speak.
@King
I haven’t seen most of those quotes anywhere. You better check your sources if you have any.
What a joke!! They made no effort whatsoever, being “raised up” by their marxist-jihadi friends as a useful figure-head and tool!!
In 2012, vote like your country’s life depends on it. It does. If Obama gets re-elected, nobody will recognize this country after four more years of Hope and Change.

yep, no race card being used here…. even the black members of my family are pissed and digusted by these 2 morons in the WH.
“Speakers at the ceremony praised the Obamas for being the first black family in the White House and told the audience to “vote like your life depends on it.””
RACE CARD being used yet again!
Her message of hope…. Once her husband is done fucking up the country we will ALL need to be lifted out of the hole he put us in.
So what exactly have these grifters done for “their people?” Aside from having similar pigmentation.
At least she was photographed from the waist up.
imo, if someone cannot find the greatness in themselves……….THEY AIN’T GREAT
Did the BET host make ‘white jokes’ this time around? Did several attendees gush on stage over how beautiful and great Black people are, one even saying “everyone wants to be like us (black)” again?, Did they direct the audience to vote for Obama because being ‘black’ is now considered in and of itself a major accomplishment, the only item needed on your resume and your ticket to ride.
“….Speakers at the ceremony praised the Obamas for being the first black family in the White House and told the audience to “vote like your life depends on it.”
Jacksonville, Florida, 2008 Obama campaign event:
OBAMA: We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid. They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. (laughter) They’re gonna…. They’re going to say, “You know what, he’s — he’s — he’s young, inexperienced, and, uh, uh, he’s got a funny name. Did I mention he’s black? (cheers and applause) (Obama laughs) He’s got a feisty wife.

“It is not enough merely to seek greatness for ourselves…”
I could write a one hundred page diatribe just on that single statement. For a family that claims the mantle of Christian, it might be a good idea for her to ponder whether we should be “seeking greatness” at all. If the objective of a Christian is to model Christ, then humbling yourself in the form of a servant would be a more appropriate objective; but I guess Michelle would have to actually read her Bible to know that.
“We must uplift others” = redistribute the wealth
“vote like your life depends on it.”
It does. And I will. You can depend on it.
@BlueSky
Teh caboose on teh Obama ‘gravy train’.
LOL
I prefer my FLOTUS more covered and modestly dressed. The “Slut” look does not appeal to me.
@ King,
Yes, please post a link. That diatribe needs to be spread all over the internet!
@King
It appears that the entirety of your post is an urban legend. It’s not true.
Obama never made that statement on Meet the Press or anywhere else. I looked it up and found that this particular work of fiction has made the rounds and can’t be traced back to any news source.
I knew Obama would never be so stupid as to be honest about his or Michelle’s feelings toward this country.
But, we do ourselves no favors passing along fictions.
Does she have any clothes with sleeves in them?
Why does she always look so angry?
Don’t axe me to lift that bottom 40 hon. No way, bad back.
We Must Lift Others?
Well Mooch, it would take a forklift to Lift Your Fat Ass!
The commiecrat plantation owners are calling for their Black American slaves to continue to vote for eternal servitude. When will black Americans quit thinking of themselves as black Americans and start thinking of themselves as plain, simple American citizens who want the opportunities to attain their dreams and have their God given freedoms. It is always about race with Moochelle and her fellow commiecrats.
By the way that dress, the most ugly first lady in our history is wearing, looks like it was made from the drapes of a viewing room at funeral home. Really creepy how she dresses like she’s some sort of movie star beauty. If my dog had her face I would shave it’s ass and walk it backwards.

Speaking of lift, where is her boob belt??
“…who called the black community to civic action, starting with voting in the 2012 presidential election.”
Yes, but ONLY if they vote for her husband. All others stay the hell home in your bedroom slippers… Ya hear?!?!?
Why does EVERYTHING they do have to have being black involved with it?
They are the racists
Ya riiiiiighttttt
moochie would love to see poor white trash DIE at her feet.
And dance on their dead corpse.
@Junius
“By the way that dress, the most ugly first lady in our history is wearing”
I’m no fan of Mooch, but beauty is surely in the eye of the beholder as some past first ladies were certainly not handsome. I rest my case.

@bettyann …well said, my dear. Bravo!
She dishonors the position even as a FLINO. She always looks like a party desperate.
Has she giving up on the vacays that we pay for?
She still looks teed off.
You’d think that ascending to the throne would be good enough.
But, nay… tis not good enough for this entitled biatch.
She does look good in this photo, though.
ABO and his ABW wife are OUT in 2012.
Anyone that tries to lift that mooching cow better have a crane!
Do you suppose Mooch will be attending the WET awards, White Entertainment Television awards? Oh, there isn’t a WET, well there’s a BET, Black Entertainment Television awards. How about the Black Congressional Caucus and the White Congressional Caucus? Oh, there’s not one of those either? Well, how about the White Police Officers Association, there’s a Black Police Offices Association. No? Well how about the 100 White Men of you name the city, there’s several 100 Black Men of you name the city. No, again? Gee, you’d think we’d be trying to “lift” all others instead of just a few! Huh?
@ Junius
By the way that dress, the most ugly first lady in our history is wearing, looks like it was made from the drapes of a viewing room at funeral home.
Reminds me of the famous Carol Burnett “Gone With The Wind” skit in which Carol comes down the stairs with the dress made from curtains, brass rods and all. Now picture our own Moochelle in that senario, but with less class than Ms. Burnett.

Obama, in a crimson, one-shouldered gown, presented the Literary Arts award to Angelou and appealed to the crowd to follow Angelou’s example as an activist…
and afterward, she went backstage to gorge on five slaughtered horses, two White children and muttered how they were underdone and took too much time to bake. Then she slurped a bowl of arugula and threw Angelou the fistbump.
Michealles fashion desinger must be mixing their suarian brandy and romulan ale with their pruce juice
Yeah, because its not anyones job to lift themselves, right?
“…who called the black community to civic action, starting with voting in the 2012 presidential election.”
Michelle Obama, as also her husband, are racists.
And every individual who responds to their racists appeals for votes and other resources, based upon race, for race and only their one race, are racists as they are also Black supremacists.
Apparently, Michelle Obama still doesn’t understand that the President of the United States is an office that is supposed to represent the nation’s population. Not just “the black community.”
Michelle Obama hates the U.S. and always has — read her wretched, racist college thesis and refer to her racist, racially hateful remarks about her college education and experiences — and this latest attempt to be gracious and generous, so-called, is simply a vanity performance. She’s being well fed, indulged beyond her own abilities to earn and provide for herself, and she doesn’t have to even look at the bills for all her special treats, much less account for them. So now she wants others to use goods and services someone else pays for just as she — and her mother, and her children, and her husband, and their relatives — are enjoying. The key aspect is: paid for by someone else.
@nothing up my sleeve: With Mootch the inner ugliness of her soul far outweighs the ugliness of the face she presents to the world. I will say it again the most ugly first lady in our history.
lift our wallets, i think she means.
Sorry, but the President that single-handedly found and killed Osama bin Laden will never be categorized, labeled or referred to as the worst President… except for these racists here. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate black people?
LOL! The frustration of all these right wingers!
All they can do is make up stuff about how, if Ms. Obama isn’t “an angry” woman, they can at least try to portray her as elitist, big spending, or arrogant, hoping to turn public opinion against her. And, it’s an obvious ploy to smear Pres. Obama the same way.
These righties are humiliated that they actually voted for Bush/Cheney twice, and are mad that they now have to pay back the debts created under that administration. Not to mention allowing them to wreck the economy and mismanage two wars.
Neither of the Obamas express any anger publicly, although they would certainly be entitled to, given all the unfair and made up accusations thrown at them.
Anybody who has even the slightest shred of doubt about the racism fueling all this Michelle Obama hate just needs to reads a 1/2 dozen posts at almost any RW political blog site and you’ll soon understand the reality.
“The Michelle Obama is an angry black woman” meme is being spread by angry, racist white people in the main.
Be Well.
http://nicolemaschke1.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/conservativism-the-new-poison-in-humanity/
Well, that was so very nice of her to say, Gag.. Btw, thanks for the upper body shot of her, the wide angle lense wouldn’t be able to capture her arse, well, maybe part of it..
Good grief, just read Questionman’s post.. Troll Alert! He’s the definition of it!!..
“We Must Lift Others, Not Just Ourselves…”
When has she ever lifted herself? Granted, these days, not even Hercules could lift that load. He’d just do what he did at the Aegean Stables.
“but the President that single-handedly found and killed Osama bin Laden”
Single-handedly? Navy Seal Team 6 would like to speak with you. Yes, killing Osama happened on his watch… after he delayed on the decision well-past the point of cautiousness or planning and essentially had to be forced into okaying the mission that far more competent people planned out.
“will never be categorized, labeled or referred to as the worst President”
Given his bungling of the economy, the stimulus bill, Solyndra, freeing terrorists from Gitmo, screwing over our allies (name a country, any country), caving into our enemies, Obamacare (the single most unpopular piece of legislation in several decades) – yeah, he will be categorized, labeled and referred to as the worst President.
“except for these racists here.”
Ah, of course, everyone that has a problem with Obama is a racist. Ya hear that, Allen West? You’re a racist according to this loser troll on the Internet.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate black people?”
Well, my answer would be zero. My black girlfriend would back-up that opinion in a heartbeat.
“hoping to turn public opinion against her”
No, she’s doing a fine job of that own her own by acting like an angry black woman stereotype, as well as – as you put it – an elitist, big spender and arrogant.
“These righties are humiliated that they actually voted for Bush/Cheney twice”
I’m certainly not humiliated. It was nice having a president that – gasp – behaved like an adult and was actually intelligent. Pity now we have a brain-dead man-child in the Oval Office. Oh, and if anyone is so certain Obama’s a super-genius, where are his educational records? Oh, that’s right – sealed. Y’know, Bush made his records available, but that goes back to the “adult” part.
“are mad that they now have to pay back the debts created under that administration”
Ah, clearly you mixed-up administrations. Allow the CBO to correct your obvious inability to count. S&P could do that as well. They didn’t downgrade us on Bush’s watch, but three years into Obama’s – citing his idioitc policies.
“Not to mention allowing them to wreck the economy”
Where unemployment never got higher than 8%. Where’s it at now? Oh right…
“and mismanage two wars.”
You mean like the surge in Iraq that Obama opposed – preferring genocide of innocent Iraqis. (Sounded rather racist.) Oh wait, the surge was a massive success. And things quieted down in Afghanistan for sometime. Why things didn’t spiral out of control in either place until a new president came along and botched things. Of course, maybe he should’ve spent more time talking to generals rather than goofing off or going on vacation.
“Neither of the Obamas express any anger publicly”
No, they just act like passive aggressive nitwits. And what was the story that came from White House staffers after Netanyahu schooled him on Middle East foreign policy? Rather than talk it out with him, Obama went behind closed doors and was heard to yell, “WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?!” Yeah, real mature.
“although they would certainly be entitled to, given all the unfair and made up accusations thrown at them.”
Oh, once again, you’ve mixed-up administrations.
“Anybody who has even the slightest shred of doubt about the racism fueling all this Michelle Obama hate just needs to reads a 1/2 dozen posts at almost any RW political blog site and you’ll soon understand the reality.”
Because nobody could possibly complain about her because she is an obnoxious, elitist, shrill-voiced, hypocritical, know-nothing know-it-all. It has to be about her race… because someone on the Internet said so! That’s why!
““The Michelle Obama is an angry black woman” meme is being spread by angry, racist white people in the main.”
And yet, the only one to actually say it was Michelle herself. Go figure.
Another perfect example of the American Republican in 2012. Not true? Not a party of reprobate racist frightened ignoramuses, as exemplified by we r, above? Then denounce the racist crap the Republicans spew on every article like this. Otherwise admit it Republicans–this is you.
“..Sorry, but the President that single-handedly found and killed Osama bin Laden will never be categorized…”
===========================
no reason to apologize… the Nobel Peace isn’t worth anything anyway
and your boy Obama proved it…
LOL! The frustration of all these leftists!
in denial over their failure at fiscal responsibility
in the less-than-three-years Obama has been in office, the federal debt has increased by $4.212 trillion–more than the total national debt of about $4.1672 trillion accumulated by all 41 U.S. presidents from George Washington through George H.W. Bush combined.
As of Monday, Obama had been in office 986 days—or about 32 and a half months. During that time, the debt increased at an average pace of $4.27 billion per day. Were that rate to continue until Obama’s term ends on Jan. 20, 2013, the debt would then stand at about $16.86534 trillion—an increase of more than $6.2 trillion for Obama’s four years.
Michelle Obama: “perennially dissatisfied”
… to quote her former employer.
I was a life long Republican, no longer. Get the facts right, the right wing starting with Reagan essentially started the problems we face today as the middle class. I just wish I could have seen the light years ago.
When you add the 6 trillion from Bush W’s 8 years ( the worst president in history) and the lack of regulations pushed by the Republicans that destroyed the middle class in terms of their 401′ks, the jobs lost by moving corporations over seas, the tax laws that favor the rich, AND THE BUSH RECESSION YOU GO FIGURE.
Clinton put this nation on a fiscal course to pay off the debt this year, Bush and his REPUBLICAN HOUSE AND SENATE FOR 6 YEARS KILLED THAT with the laws they passed and the enormous deficit spending, including a medicare drug plan, two wars and a reduction in taxes to the lowest taxes have ever been.
AGAIN you go figure and while your at it wake up to what has happened.
“We Must Lift Others, Not Just Ourselves…”
And what they mean by that is white Americans must hand over to American blacks all the money and riches they have worked hard for. It’s pretty amazing what blacks and the black agenda have achieved being only 12 to 13 % of the population. I personally believe they have no intention of ever assimilating into the American culture, at least not the culture that existed before. They are creating a new culture. One where they are in charge. I guarantee it will not be pretty as any example of a town, city, state or nation that is predominately black, or governed by blacks is FUBAR. The Obama’s and every other black person I have ever met are not remotely concerned with being American, they are all about being black. Well, I am not black. I am white, and I am now all about being white. I like the content of white people’s character better. Facts are not racist.

They moved the BET awards to Washington so the wookiee could attend. Stealing more money from California -again.. these award shows bring in lots of money for the little people of LA but the mooch just had to be there so. they changed the venue.
stupid bitch.
Mooche is right , VOTE like your life depends on it, because it does. Life in America as we know it will end, Obamas goal is to turn our country ( not his ) into a 3rd world nation. It is evident this can be done with one generation.
We have seen the enemy the OWS anarchists who don’t need a reason to distroy what others have created. These cluseless and pathitic wastes of humanity demand what others have already created. Their only claim is you have it and they want it, and our president along with some “high” members of congress have shown they agree with them. ( as long as they are not after their stuff)
