First Lady: Change ‘Certainly Doesn’t Happen in a Year’

GMA: "Rightfully, some people are frustrated, right?" Michelle Obama said. "But one of the things that Barack Obama said and continues to say is change isn't easy and it doesn't happen overnight. And it certainly doesn't happen in a year.

They must be “clear solutions” because he always has to say “let me be clear”.

I’ve “let him be clear”, but it sounds like he’s trying to hide a socialist/Marxist agenda.

Let me be clear: Obama is out in 2012.

Anexio   February 9th, 2010 - 10:09 am

This is just like in that movie, “The Hilldibrande Conflict”, where the actor James Darvant shoots a high powered laser at Mustafa Goldberg and his head turns into a burned marshmallow. Then he returns home to find his husband of 7 years has moved out and taken up relations with his brother.

It’s just like it!

I think listening to the people would be a leadership thing to and not trying to cram down what you want to happen but to listen to what we want.

On some small level I feel bad for the Obama’s. They were conned and seduced by liberalism false promise. I stress a small level.

Yes comrade Michele, back in the USSR, we called it, “the five year plan.”

DA BEARRRS   February 9th, 2010 - 10:21 am

I disagree.. We have gone from bad to Hell economically, the dollar is on the verge of parity with the Peso, we have had three terrorist attacks (two successful,) on American soil, and we have gone from a Republic to an Oligarchy, all in less than a year.

Being First Lady is harder than that $300,000 a year No-Show job you had a U.of Chicago Medical Center, huh?

clarify   February 9th, 2010 - 10:22 am

If she starts injecting her biased opinion into the mix then she is sublecting herself to criticism. Let us know about your salary being tripled after Obama was elected state senator and patient dumping by your hospital while you were in charge.

Hope and change, not working out too good for America and who care as about the Obamas – I don’t since they brought this scourge on the country. She has it all wrong, change certainly did happen during the first first. None of Obama’s illusions public approval and these failed accomplishments are lengthy. So lengthy that there is no more any illusions of hope for the next three years. This Obama machine is on a dedicated course steered by his Chicago and muslim allies to see the ruination of America.

AMSEN   February 9th, 2010 - 10:33 am

Yes, change does not happen as fast as we would like!
We have to wait another excruciating 2 years (until 2012) to get this bum out!

I totally agree with you! It’s like in that movie, “Red Dog Express 3″ where the hero Mitch Slather makes a home movie with his dog and 5 kids. At the end of the movie everyone is covered in soap suds and they’re all laughing.

It’s quite hilarious.

Dear Michele Obama,

We can only “Hope” that your type of “Change”, Socialism/Marxism, does not succeed.

Socialists and Marxists are fond of Revolutions.

Along the way, you will encounter a “Revolution for Freedom” as you pull us, kicking and screaming, to your so called Socialist Paradise.

Hey Michelle! Y’all gonna change your non-church going ways and get you and your hubby and your kids back into a church on a consistent basis anytime soon? Or does that take over a year to do as well Michelle? REAL change, RIGHT change, GOOD change, PRODUCTIVE change, POSITIVE change only comes when a person’s (or an administration’s) corresponding WILL, IDEAS, PURPOSES, PLANS, POLICIES, and ACTIONS precede them Michelle. The change your hubby is trying to carry out, are first and foremost, DESTRUCTIVE for America and the American economy and also the American people Michelle. When your hubby is trying to turn America upside down – from a capitalist “free” society into a Socialist “enslaved” society why would the American people want, or accept, that kind of change Michelle? You and your hubby can keep your change. On the other hand, we the AMERICAN PEOPLE are going to take back our “FREEDOMS” and our “LIBERTIES” and our “COUNTRY” from your Marxist elitist husband and the thugs who cohabit his corrupt administration. The change is gonna be quick too Michelle.. in one day, on November 6th 2012 your husband is gonna have a ‘change’ of employment. ;) That is, if Congress doesn’t step in and impeach Barack before then. Probably not though, especially when you have liberal elitists like “wacko” Nancy Pelosi and “stone face” Harry Reid as leaders of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. That still doesn’t hinder or alter my enthusiasm for your husbands eventual “day of reckoning” on November 6, 2012 though. :) Oh,.. and by the way Michelle – IT WASN’T NICE KNOWING BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA either! I don’t put the blame on you though Michelle. A man is responsible for his own sins and actions and you and the kids just happen to be in the middle of his mess(ed) up life and messed up policy making decisions and the other blunders he seems to perpetuate. Perhaps, if you and kids at least, could get yourselves back into a nice BIBLE BELIEVING church where they preach the uncompromising ‘Word of God’ and where the “love of God” and the Holy Spirit’s “presence” is abundantly “evident” – and you get on your knees during a service and cry out to the only one who can evoke “true” change in a person’s life or even a Nation – then perhaps Barack will notice the substantive “change” in your life and it will then hopefully “prod” him to go to church with you and the kids and then maybe his life will change too. :) I would really like to see your Husband ultimately succeed as our President but as it stands now: THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL that I could support your hubby, or wish him to succeed, in his present condition and with his Marxist elitist beliefs Michelle. It’s that simple. ;) First of all, I don’t support Marxism/Socialism and I don’t support the Chicago style thugs who inhabit Barack’s administration. And I don’t support his ‘bitterly’ partisan politics. I could list a zillion other things but I’ll spare you the time and bandwidth… I think you get my drift though right? ;)

PS: Even if Michelle doesn’t happen to read this thread I am fully aware that the Obama administration has “obama clones” who’s main job and priority is to read conservative blogs and/or watch cable TV 24 hours a day around the clock and nothing else. :D Maybe one of them could convey to Michelle my heartfelt message (and warning) to her dear hubby.. ;)

phlogiston   February 9th, 2010 - 2:04 pm

Come on Michelle, the model your husband uses to describe economic operations, just might be flawed. Where have Keynesian programs worked? Empirically? Point out an example.

The infusion of paper “money and credits” into an economy has not accomplished the theoretical results anticipated. When do you abandon a model that is shown not to work? Repeating the same action and expecting different results is … er, ah, er, well can result in disappointment.

Simple example, since you have such a religious bent having sat in the pews in Rev. Wright’s black liberation theology church for two decades, take the construction of the pyramids. Pharaoh waited until the Egyptian economy produced sufficient wherewithal, food and the other necessities of life, to support those working on the pyramids. He did not assign people to work on the pyramids “hoping” (and “hope” is a key concept for you), hoping that somehow diverting people’s efforts to work on the pyramids would miraculously create the goods and services needed to support those workers.

Now think Michelle. Green jobs. Paper transactions. Accounting legerdemain. None of these activities contribute anything to the economy that is used as a product to be consumed. Distribution of money through these vehicles merely introduces more money with the same amount of consumer goods available, so that there is (wash my fingers off with strong soap), the “I” word. (There are so many taboo words nowadays. I thought I’d warn you before spelling the “I” word out so that your delicate sensibilities might avoid it.) The “I” word represents “INFLATION.” Inflation is what usually follows when money is introduced and productivity does not increase accordingly.

No3 it’s the idea of “hopers” that introduction of money will somehow result in the production of goods that can be utilized by the striving masses. Does this occur? Has this occurred? I certainly wouldn’t be against it if it provided a remedy. Now, the solution has been tried many times. Where and when has it worked?

Dear Michele…thank you for your comments…however…you are only being given two years at the most!

Come November 2010…your hubby is going to be a “lame duck” with no voting leverage!

We “the people” have had enough of your husband and all his spending ways!

You are both elitists who don’t live in our world…you live in your own little world of arugula and overnight trips to New York for dinner…at our expense!

Your time has come…and your time is gone! You have done enough damage!

It will take the next administration eight (8) years to correct the one (1) year of damnation that your husband has reigned over…and it is over!

———————————-

JUST TEN (10) MORE MONTHS TO “D” DAY II !

1. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INFORMED!
2. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE INVOLVED!
3. WE “THE PEOPLE” ARE GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

Once again she latches onto an issue that (last year data) is ALREADY happening. The trend towards “childhood obesity” started to decline early last year. Typical Lib. latch onto something that is already HAPPENING and then TAKE credit for it. Michelle Obama is quite OVERWEIGHT if you take that womans BMI ! With the skinny neck and that HUGE hips and rear and skinny legs. She tries to hide her hug rear she wears high (empire) type cut & large belts worn high, to make her small chest look bigger and her bottom appear smaller! She dresses like a native woman from Kenya, loud colors, wild prints, and oversized accessories. No matter what she does she cannot hide the HATE IN HER EYES and her sense of entitlement (all undeserved).

Moron-hater   February 10th, 2010 - 1:32 am

Michelle! Have you already run out of things to mess up around our nation’s White House? Are you still as proud of this country as you once found you were??? Grow up and stop blaming others for your Liar in chief’s inaction and moronic ideology. Worry about Iran’s threat rather than other parents’ responsibility of their own children’s obesity or lack thereof. Thank you, but we don’t need your “watch” over our business… and that would make you a Moron, Michelle Obama.

Michelle! You really believe, or that you are most delusional, that spending my hard-earned money and spending this country’s money into oblivion would give Obama the phenomenal characteristic. How do you earn your education? For this country’s sake, I hope (and change)it was not from Affirmative Actions.

Michelle, you are soooo knowledgeable–if you want to fight /obesity—start in the teachers lobby at the schoolhouses–you see, once upon a time
teachers took children outside for recess—oooooh but that was to unfair to the union teachers. Kids learned many things on the school yard–but hey those teachers wouldn’t get their smoke breaks years ago sooo that had to end. You can thank the UNION for that. Funny how those that scream the loudest are those with the most fault. Thanks to the Union.
Teachers back then were respected and knew what they were talking about–
you would be hard pressed to find that today.
