Michelle Obama will say many stupid things.

[_Wayne_]

Her recent comments, "This is the first time I've been proud of the US" are really only the second time she's embarrassed herself.

Months ago, Michelle implied she would oppose Hillary Clinton if Hillary won the Democratic nomination. link

For sure, Michelle is a nice person, educated, probably would make an acceptable first lady. But she MUST clean up her act, and show some party unity. I doubt she will learn before she says some really, really stupid things, though.

1. Yeah, like Bill Clinton would be restrained.

:rofl:

[YOY]

2. Yes, that's the afterthought that the OP has definitely neglected

n/y

[_Wayne_]

when did Bill Clinton become known for saying stupid things?? Oh right, NEVER

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. It wasn't his mouth that was the problem.

[Shakespeare]

21. You have a short memory.

He's already stepped in it a couple of times, especially with his Jesse Jackson remark before the SC primary. In fact, he stepped in it so superbly that Hillary was asked for weeks afterward if she'd be able to "control her husband."

[blm]

26. "I repeatedly defended Bush against criticisms from the left" The biggest critic of Bush

from the left at that time of Bill's 3 week book tour where he publicly and repeatedly defended Bush's decisions on Iraq war was the Dem nominee, John Kerry.

Now THAT was a brilliant way to prop up Bush and undermine the Dem nominee - you really want to talk about party unity?

Was Carville showing unity with Dems when he was sabotaging Ohio voters on election night? Or was he doing his JOB?

And here's a CLASSIC case of Hillary showing unity.......with Bush and McCain against........John Kerry.

37. When he said, "I have never had sex with...."

for one. Now, that was stupid.

[emilyg]

41. He didn't

His cigar did.

[alphafemale]

42. Well his man squirt got on the back of her dress somehow....nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

38. Bill Clinton never said anything stupid?

Why the hell do you think they're keeping him away from cameras these days? Where have you been?

[thunder rising]

17. Notice the statement is misquoted and there is no link ... trolls in the midst.

[OzarkDem]

29. Bill Clinton does just fine

He's never been one to say inappropriate things.

He would be a far better First Spouse than Michelle Obama.

[goclark]

39. You must be kidding~he has been roundly

criticized by Whites and Blacks for the remarks that he has made this campaign season.

Michelle is one classy and brilliant lady.

I've seen her speak in person and she is so passionate that I can truly understand how the "big mistake" happened.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Maybe she could take lessons from Bill Clinton.

:sarcasm:

[wndycty]

4. It will be interesting to see how many DUers feed that "uppity militant Black woman" meme. . .

. . .that the right wing will try to advance.

[DJ13]

5. I agree. Her comments about Jesse Jackson after NH were inappropriate

:sarcasm:

[_Wayne_]

13. Sarcasm must atleast contain some truth. Clinton never made comments "about" Jackson

[smalll]

6. Obamarosa won't be a great asset, at least --

Thankfully, Cindy "I stole drugs from my own charity" McCain won't be either. I'm still "hoping" for Bill Clinton as First Lady!

[wndycty]

15. "Obamarosa" ????

Class pure class.

[smalll]

19. If Michelle makes gaffes in the general election, the name becomes inevitable. /nt

[wndycty]

25. And you will be more than happy to drive that "Obamarosa" meme I'm sure

:kick:

[Connie_Corleone]

18. You're really pitiful with that uncalled for "Obamarosa" crap.

[wndycty]

22. Hey I'm keeping a list of the stupid shit people have been saying. . .

. . .and I'm going to write a column about it. I have been using my screen capture function a lot this primary season in case things get deleted. This type of shit should not get deleted so we can see what type of simple idiots are out there.

[aein]

44. -deleted-

[cali]

7. Actually, she's been doing a spectacular job

for someone who's never been in a national campaign and is out there day in and day out. And your claim that she said she'd oppose Hillary Clinton is completely false. shame on YOU. She said that she might not actively campaign for her and that is completely different from your spurious claim. She's made a couple of gaffes. that's it. you're simply smearing.

[AlCzervik]

8. oh she "Must clean up her act" oh ok, thanks Miss Manners, send her an email.

[sniffa]

9. Another awesome thread by you

This one is almost as awesome as your last one. :thumbsup:

[_Wayne_]

20. thanks now stop stalking me

[sniffa]

33. Thanks now stop flattering yourself

[Bucky]

11. More Michelle Obama gaffes

on the Today Show:
"Why, yes, Katie, I do frequently beat my children with wire hangers. But that's only when the iron maiden is out for repairs."

at a campaign tour of a Baltimore homeless shelter:
"Eew, they're homeless."

apparently drunk during her 60 Minutes interview:
"Oh, Mike, Mike, you doooo have the sexshiest eyebrowzh..."

at a reelection rally for Houston mayor Bill White:
"White victory!! White victory!!"



Hmmma, perhaps the OP is onto something here.

[jasmine621]

12. Both Obamas have been almost preaching against Hillary as the nominee.

This is sowing many seeds of discontent. Hillary has never said that she would not support Obama or that Obama would not be a good President. In fact, she has said thay anyone of the Dem candidates would be a good President. Only Obama has said that Hillary could not win, she is divisive, and that his supporters might not give their support to her were she to win the nomination. Hillary has only said that the Dems would be united and that she thinks she would be the better President. She has also said that she would be better at facing off against the Republicans because she has done it before. There was nothing coming from the Clinton campaign that I heard that could be used against Obama in the GE but the opposite is true of Obama's campaign. That is not helpful to the Dems at all.

[high density]

14. People aren't voting for Michelle Obama

What is with this obsession with her? Nobody cares outside of a few people here on DU that don't like anything about Obama.

[blogslut]

16. Well, why don't you call her and tell her?

I'm sure you have her on speed dial. Maybe she's on your buddy list. Go check, now.

[stellanoir]

23. She's an ace

and one misconstrued concept should not be distorted.

Unless one is an Afro American, they've no right to comment on this matter.

[Redstone]

24. As will you.

Redstone

[NMMNG]

27. Why censor her?

Let her be herself and allow the chips to fall where they may.

[jillan]

28. I remember last year when she told everyone that Obama threw his

underwear and socks on the floor. lol.

[WillyT]

30. And So Will You... As Evidenced Here !!!

:wtf:

[RBInMaine]

31. The "proud" comment has been well clarified, and...

As I have admitted, the "proud" comment was poorly worded, but even in it's original phrasing, taken in CONTEXT which the corporate media always leaves out, I never had a problem understanding what she meant to convey. She has since clarified her statement though. It is always a learning curve, and people in this business do need practice in language their language usage. She is certainly learning. Interesting though. Bill Clinton, with ALL that VAST experience, has stuffed his foot in his mouth with his negative Obama comments and barking at the press. Guess he needed a language tune-up because you now see that he has adjusted bigtime.

[Diane R]

32. She's extremely impressive. Nothing wrong with her remarks...look at the context.

[jackson_dem]

34. So will anyone without political experience who is put under the microscope

Even some of those with long careers in politics have made big gaffes. Remember Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it"? It was true but he should have known what the rethugs would have done with such a statement.

[RBInMaine]

43. Remember, these people are human. Gaffes will happen.

[lligrd]

35. And Barbara Bush Was An Asset?

When she runs, I'll worry about what she says.

[Window]

36. Would you be afraid Bill would say "many stupid things"

if Hillary were leading.

I call bullshit on your word "stupid" and the fact that she "MUST clean up her act, and show some party unity."

"I doubt she will learn before she says some really, really stupid things, though." WTF???

You need to check yourself.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

40. What She Said The Other Night Was A Mistake For Sure. But She Never Said She'd Oppose Hillary.

She seemed less than enthusiastic at the idea of outwardly supporting her, which I kind of disagree with, but that's a longshot away from saying she'd oppose her. Let's be honest with our context, ok?
