Mooch: “Every Day I Hear About How Folks Are Struggling, How They’re Sacrificing”…

Didn’t she just return from a ski trip to Aspen? Apparently the ski lift operators are a chatty bunch.

(CNSNews.com) — First Lady Michelle Obama said she hears every day about the struggles of the middle class — which are nothing new, she added:

“Every day, I hear about how folks are struggling — the bills they’re trying to pay; the businesses they’re trying to keep afloat. I hear about how folks are taking that extra shift, they’re working that extra job, they’re doing whatever they have to — they’re saving, they’re sacrificing, never spending a dime on themselves because they desperately want something better for their kids.

“And make no mistake about it, these struggles that I’m talking about, these are not new. For decades now — decades — middle-class folks have been squeezed from all sides. See, the cost of things like gas, groceries, tuition — prices continuing to rise, but people’s paychecks just haven’t kept up. And when this economic crisis hit, for far too many families the bottom just completely fell out.”

    Everyday, everyday I have the blues
    Everyday, everyday I have the blues
    When you see me worried baby
    Because it’s you’s I hate to lose

    Oh nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
    Yes nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
    Speaking of bad luck and trouble
    Well you know I had my share

    I’m gonna pack my suitcase, move on down the line
    Yes I’m gonna pack my suitcase, move on down the line
    Where there ain’t nobody worried
    And there ain’t nobody crying

    What does she know about sacrificing? Her education was gifted to her. She has never sacrificed for anything.

    I seriously doubt a ski lift could get that fat ass up to the top of the slope. Has anyone checked to see if a DoD heavy lift chopper was in the area?

    I for one would pay top dollar for a ring side seat if this digusting creature ever had a date with the guillotine. Her lies and hypocrisy are absolutely beyond belief. What a dreadful, empty, evil, souless. piece of pond scum. All of these po’ole’ middle class citizens she is moaning about have been paying for her lavish vacations.

    Damn, she’s working way too hard. Maybe she neeeds a vacation and she can think up another “hey, we can force employers to use government money to pay higher wages and we can tax the people more to pay for the higher wages. Yea that’ll work!”.

    Maybe I have amnesia, but I can’t seem to recall Laura Bush fresh off the slopes in designer duds touting empathy with the vast unwashed.

    But then again I can’t remember her jetting to Spain for sangria with 5,000 of her closest friends either.

    Maybe it’s just me.

    This statement is absolute rubbish:

    “So believe me, Barack knows what it means when a family struggles,” Mrs. Obama said. “He knows what it means when someone doesn’t have a chance to fulfill their potential. See, those are the experiences that have made him the man and, more importantly, the President he is today, and we are blessed to have him.”

    This is the kind of tripe the LSM regurgitates into the craws of the Kool-Aid drunkards.

    “His Magesty Barak I suffers your pain greatly…”

    And she thinks because she can read the list of our struggles off a ‘prompter, we are impressed??????

    Now what? That makes us want to reelect your commie cohort who caused a lot of these problems???????

    No stupid, you are such a transparent phony buffoon.
    You are the reason o-hole is going to lose in Nov.
    You are such an angry harsh mean person. You can’t hide it.
    Keep shilling. Seal the deal for us.

  28. LizardLips says:

    Wouldn’t be fitting if was her jetting about like some pimp’s ho or mobster’s moll was the catalyst for his loss in November.

    Despite Mooochelle’s near-zero ski hill slope, she keeps safety in mind by wearing an air bag fanny pack.

  30. Jarhead83 says:
    February 24, 2012 at 12:42 pm

    I have serious doubts as to her ability to understand or truly empathize with the struggles endured by real Americans. I’ve run out of patience trying to rationalize her hypocrisy, and have resigned myself to the fact that she will never have the best interests of average citizens in mind. November cannot come too soon….

    Yeah, everyday she hears about all the suffering schmucks who keep her in tamales and tells her bozo Barack…Honey, your plan is working. Please let’s do it some more, right after our next vacay…kay?

    Why do they always refer to us a “folks”….if you look in the dictionary the definition of “folks” is common people. Yes, we are common in the sense that we are all American’s, but the way they use the phrase, makes me feel a little lower than them.

    Can they not say “Everyday I travel this country I see fellow Americans, American Families, Americans who are struggling….or even “everday I travel this country I see people who are struggling……

    Nope, it’s just us “folks”…..just saying…

    “It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there is someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there is service, there is some one being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, is speaking to you of slaves & masters, and intends to be the master.”

    But for the internet few would know about Michelle’s travels. The Obama media will not cover this story.

    I believe this is vacation NO. 16 over three years for the first lady. Can you imagine the outcry if Laura Bush, or any Republican FLOTUS did likewise?

    60 Minutes would be running segments. ABCBSNBCNNPBSNPR (better known as Obama’s PRAVDA) would be going crazy. The double-standard of the media has never been more evident than over the last three years.

    Just turn them off.

  50. Thucydides says:
    February 25, 2012 at 12:55 pm

    Well let’s not sacrifice for her anymore

    Just imagine if for the next eight months we had a capital strike; didn’t make any major purchases, refused to hire new workers, take on new jobs or assignments or do anything more than the minimum to stay alive.

    The economy would tank so even the legacy media would not be able to disguise it anymore.

    What if we told the cronys to sacrifice instead by boycotting GM, GE and all the other companies that feed off the taxpayer rather than compete in the open market? What if millions of people cancelled their cable for the next eight months and deprived the Legacy media of billions of dollars of advertising revenues? (You can probably get everything you want to see through the Internet anyway, and high speed phone and wireless frees you from cable fees).

    Time to stop bitching and moaning about Marie Antoinette and consider steps to ensure she gets sacrificed in November, rather than us…

  51. Liberal says:

    I don’t know what your problem is.

    You all sound envious of her success.

    Maybe you all should work harder so you will have what they have.

  52. stonedome says:
    February 25, 2012 at 5:34 pm

    Hey Liberal
    first of all, i’m not jealous of what she has…she married what she has, just like hillary did. why doesn’t she stop giving us the lip service of how she knows about struggle, because that’s not what matters. showing you care does…why doesn’t she get her giant a$$ in gear, open up her checkbook and start helping some of the people she says she cares so much about? howerver, like most leftists, it’s every one elses money they want to give away. marie antoinette obama should tread lightly…her government protective services will be ending soon. then shes going to have to cash all of those bad checks that her mouth has written.
