Out of touch liberal.  $600.00 earings on a whim with a government check that they railed against…

atease

atease

I was hoping this would get attention here!
‘Preciate that, Rob
. .
Her equating a $600 stimulus grant to merely a pair of ear rings just chaps my hide!
It’s like the Katrina “victims” that got caught buying extravagances with their emergency living expenses grants.
I hope this get’s driven by the media.
/Hey! I used “hope” twice!

here are a few non lethal ways to shoe congress your disapproval if they break in august without getting a few things taken care of. all methods are non lethal but do constitute assault so be willing to accept responsibility for your actions.

1. rotten eggs and tomatoes (the old classic)

2. water balloons filled with permanent dies (go for the face)

3. mace and pepper spray

4. tasers you have to be close and bear in mind they can shut down a pacemaker (they are considered non lethal)

5. beanbag cannons

6. flash bangs (it will get there attention)

7. tear gas (can be flammable but considered non lethal)

8. super glue i’m sure you can think of something 1001 uses.

submit some of your own be creative ideas lets get the point across to them words don’t work with these people.

If you’re suggesting an assault on a Congressperson or a Representative or any of their property, PLEASE count me out!

Don’t even get me started on the stimulus checks…. we should have taken that money, divided it up among governors and let them put it into the states infrastructure. Ask any governor what project(s) they have on the backburner and then put those construction crews to work. For years. Not a day, or a week. Years.

THAT would stimulate the economy.

Don’t even get me started on the stimulus checks…. we should have taken that money, divided it up among governors and let them put it into the states infrastructure.

I don’t think that’s a very good idea.  In my state, for instance, we have massive budget surpluses and a record-setting treasury balance.  Our state government doesn’t need the money.

What we need are tax cuts, which would actually drive up tax revenue in the states as people spent their extra money and paid things like sales taxes, etc.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

Can you imagine this out of touch liberal as her husband, the President’s closest adviser.

O’blurry: Gee Honey! Do you think the peasants need their taxes cut?

Michelle: Nah! They’ve probably got enough earrings already!

Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.

Is she suggesting:
a) it didn’t help because it wasn’t enough
AND
b) it should be every month

If my question is viewed as an attack on her person I heartily apologize and revoke it.  I know both Mr and Mrs Empty suit can be very sensitive and even the appearance of criticism is verbotten.

THere’s no class envy.
While the Office of the President is the highest in the land, it’s STILL a public servant position.
In her, I see a very un-appreciative & domineering person.
Her various statements serve only to bolster this idea.
Show me where I’m wrong

ellinas
There’s no class envy. In my book the Obama’s have no class what so ever. End of story.

RebTex.That is your perception, I cannot change,nor do i desire to change it. If you can judge her character over a $600.00 pair of earings, you certainly are better at analyzing ones character than I. Kudos to you.

Anna. All the critcism over a $600.00 pair of earings is class envy. A lot of women have earings costing more than $600.00. And I bet you great number of women have clothes and jewlery that exceeds their means. I call that champagne taste on beer income.
By the way, I’d love to read “your book”

A lot of women have earings costing more than $600.00. And I bet you great number of women have clothes and jewlery that exceeds their means.

ellinas,

What you say is true… but only one out of all those women, Michelle Obama, is personally campaigning for her husband to be the next president by telling everyone, women in particular, how terrible their economic situation has become in the past 7 years.

It is not “class envy” to note the “audacity” of hypocrisy in a candidate… and his family.

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

“If you can judge her character over a $600.00 pair of earings, you certainly are better at analyzing ones character than I. Kudos to you.”

My post stipulated that the attitude of hers about the value of $600 ALONG with her various other statements helped me form my opinion.
And Thanks for noticing !

It would be nice if more people were able to utilise the bully pulpit. I guess some are luckier than others. Whether one’s financial situation has worsened in the last seven years, depends on one’s financial reality. A lot of people will say it has not and a lot of people will say yes.
The devaluation of the dollar has done IMO done a lot of damage to a lot of peoples finances. When I go abroad for vacation it shows that my financial situation is not what it was seven years ago.

Whoa there!
You’re talking something completely different that I was!
You wanna talk about devalued dollars?!
You need to go all the way back to 1971.
Nixon screwed that pooch.

You mean to tell me that among other crimes Nixon was a practitioner of bestiality?

I don’t wear earings so I used my $600 stimulus check to buy 200 NOBAMA bumper stickers.

Pooch told me it was the other way around.

Nixon screwed that pooch

Checkers enviously confirmed.

I gave my stimulus check to several “clingers.”

By the way, I’d love to read “your book”

I didn’t buy anything with my stimulus check, per se, it was direct deposited into my account.
However, flush with cash and confidence in the economy, I did recently purchase the NRA Commemorative Ruger Mark II, which did not exceed the size of my stimulus check. Perhaps another firearm to polish off the balance?

At least when George Bush was reading My Pet Goat, he genuinely had no idea Manhattan was being terrorized. And it wasn’t by his own plane.

Wow, just another example of you guys making things up.
She obviously said that after doing OTHER MORE IMPORTANT THINGS with the money like pays bills and the like that all that would be left is enough to buy something cheap, a new pair of earrings.

The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”

No CatMow, she said the above quote. Prior to that she suggested something, but then she went the earring route.

Nixon screwed that pooch.

Actually, Johnson did more to devalue the currency with his massive “War on Poverty” scam.  It’s still going on, as a matter of fact.

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

I was thinking along the lines of taking the dollar off the gold standard.

RebTex. You are mistaken as to how much of Nixon screwed that pooch. According to our in house expert Johnson screwd it more. You owe us all an apology for the misinformation you are spreding on this blog.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Shame on you.

Ps. If you are Christian of the Catholic persuation, 102 Hail Mary’s will do. No more no less.

I conceede that that Johnson (pronounced ‘Jahw-Sahn’ this close to the Sabine) didn’t help with his stroke of brilliance.
I just feel that when the Fed Reserve quit backing each dollar in gold, we all begin to suffer.

and the like that all that would be left is enough to buy something cheap, a new pair of earrings.

And like I bet those were union made earrings, ‘cause dude, she’s like a great American who only buys union made shit!!11!!!eleventy!!!11!

I disagree, but that’s a very long discussion.  We can’t have our money supply limited by the quantity of a metal.  It just doesn’t make sense.

I agree, Robert.
It’s a discussion for another time

I disagree, but that’s a very long discussion.  We can’t have our money supply limited by the quantity of a metal.  It just doesn’t make sense.

I agree R108. If you’re going to base currency upon a metal, why cheap shit like gold? Wouldn’t platinum make more sense? Hell, at nearly $2 grand an ounce why invest in a metal third world countries aspire to own a few pounds of yet sit upon huge deposits of, and yet can’t exploit themselves? We’ve probably got more platinum harbored in auto salvage yards and traveling our highways, locked up in catalytic converters, than the rest of the world has available as a commodity to back their respective currencies.

Cindy McCain: “In Arizona The Only Way To Get Around The State Is By Small Private Plane”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/14/cindy-mccain-in-arizona-t_n_112695.html

It’s the ONLY way to travel!  Her other private plane isn’t that small though.

Cindy McCain: “In Arizona The Only Way To Get Around The State Is By Small Private Plane”

THAT is a reasonable counterpoint.  The statements are of similar caliber and elitism.  Though I’d give her my copyrighted Forgiveness Points (TM) if it is a private plane and not guvmint paying for it.

Cindy McCain has earned everything she has, by being a successful businesswoman; Michelle Obama profits from her husband’s political influence peddling.  Big difference.  Cindy has earned her stuff.

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Cindy has earned her stuff.

I would personally allow the criticism to stand (heh) if the plane was paid for through government funds.  I don’t have data but during a campaign that is a very real possiblility.

What part of “Cindy McCain has earned everything she has.” didn’t you understand?

The inherited part.
If she started from zero and earned everything, kudos to her.

flyonthewall thinks allegations without proof should stand.

Untrue.  For unknown situations I have a ‘Heisenberg Quantum Box’ esque category.  This cat is neither dead nor alive until I have some kind of observation.  I have sufficient proof that Mrs Empty Suit is elitist.  I have no proof either way on Mrs The Chin from Another Planet. 

HuffPo is insufficient to sway but IF Android’s quote is legit and IF it was done with Fed money, Android made a valid point.  Running a successful business does not preclude using federal funds.

(Welcome to my bizarre little mind. There’s a lovely nook to the left with Stuff On My Cat.)

...qualifies as a light aircraft by the FAA, the cost per statute mile is a fraction of driving.

Whoa, that perked the GasNazi up in me.  Makes sense given that flying generally follows straighter lines and has fewer stop lights. 

Long slow thought…  Nope, couldn’t even get an ultra light to take off from around my house.  Sigh.

The inherited part.

More leftie jealousy and hatred.  Whether or not she inherited any money, she is successful in business, whereas Michelle gets her salary from the taxpayers, bloated by her husband’s influence-peddling.
There is no valid comparison.

I think the only answer you will accept is the one that will come out of your brain. Nothing else will do.

Keep pickin’ that nit, troll.  Michelle gets taxpayer money, increased by her influence-peddling husband; Cindy runs her own business, and buys her own stuff.
None of your bullshit can change that fact.  How much did Michelle inherit?  Unlike you, I’m not jealous of other people who have become successful by their own efforts.

Thanks.  You just opened up a chunk of my mind.  Ironically, we just spent some of the morning discussing octane, compression, efficiency, cylinder cross section etc.  (Since nothing was being ionized I shut up and listened.)

e: That’s a good thing, since nothing seems to hatch in your brain.  Here’s what you can do to prove your point, even though it’s a nonsensical point:

How much did Cindy inherit(if any)?
How much is she worth now?
If she is worth more now than whatever she may have inherited, then she has made what she has now.
Even if she inherited more than she has now, it’s private money, not taxpayer money, like Michelle is feeding on.

I challenge you to make a cogent argument, for anything.

“does not preclude” is the weasel phrase here. It doesn’t mean that she is taking any taxpayer money, it just implies it, which is an unsupported smear.

Michele put herself through college and is a Lawyer, and accomplished woman.  People who make money are not elitists, they are successful.

People who inherit money are not successful, they are elitists.

There is no valid comparison here.

Amen to that!  Clearly Mrs. McCain is the elitist, not Michelle.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama (born January 17, 1964)[1] is an American lawyer and the wife of Illinois senator Barack Obama, the 2008 Democratic presumptive nominee for President. She was born and grew up on the South Side of Chicago and graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School. After completing her formal education, she returned to Chicago and went to work for the law firm Sidley Austin, on the staff of the Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley, and for the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Hospitals. She is the sister of Craig Robinson, men’s basketball coach at Oregon State University.

There you have it.

Cindy is an achiever, Michelle is a parasite.

If you think that then you are a classless ass.  But we knew that already.

After completing her formal education, she returned to Chicago and went to work for the law firm Sidley Austin, on the staff of the Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley, and for the University of Chicago
and the University of Chicago Hospitals.

Taxpayer money, like I said.  What “programs” did she use to pay for her education?  What was the source of her recent pay raise?
You have yet to present any evidence that Cindy has any inheritance, how much it is, and how it compares to her current net worth.  In other words, you are simply trying to smear Cindy to distract from Michelle’s elitist remark.  Shame on you!

She,her children, and Andrew McCain (old Mr McCain’s son)together control 68 percent of the company. As far as her assets,no one will release any figures.

Hey Barack, let’s blame the media, instead of you and Michele taking some responsibility for Michele’s low popularity. Maybe the public doesn’t like it when a potential first lady makes statements about America being mean, or not being proud of America until her husband is elected. Or, maybe it’s because you joined Barack in subjecting your small children to the likes of Anti-American racist Jeremiah Wright throughout their entire childhood.

Both you and Hannitized before you were wrong to bring Cindy McCain into the discussion.

In the first place the thread is about Michelle Obama’s elitist condescension based on her public remarks about her stimulus check and her earrings.  Cindy McCain made no such remarks and offered no such complaint about the stimulus checks.

As for Cindy McCain’s finances, I would suggest that she is under no more obligation to disclose her personal finances than was Theresa Heinz Kerry some 4 years ago.

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

Both you and Hannitized before you were wrong to bring Cindy McCain into the discussion.

No we weren’t.  If your side is going to move from taking a quote and discussing it to using it to bash a candidates wife about other things, then we are going to do the same thing.

This post isn’t about being “objective” or about making a fair criticism, it’s about slander.  And you should feel lucky that at least we were respectful about it, unlike your folks.

H,

Your childishness gets tiresome.  “...do the same thing…”, Huh?  So which quote from Cindy McCain were you discussing?  What exactly did she say that was elitist or condescending?  Where’s the citation listing the quote?

This post isn’t about being “objective” or about making a fair criticism, it’s about slander.

Oh, stop your godawful whining!  I’m no more interested in your determination of what is “objective” or what constitutes “fair criticism” than I am the conjugation of verbs in Swahili or Farsi.  If you think its slander, get a lawyer.  Hawk should be around tomorrow afternoon.  Talk to him.  I’m sure he’ll be most sympathetic.

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

And when one answers you, you come back with this

You gave no answers, only lies, and you were off-topic, to boot.  Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Keep squealing!

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

I said I called IRS. Never claimrd to have gotten info from them.

Exactly, and I have exposed your deception.

Keep squealing!

Bat,

In the first place the thread is about Michelle Obama’s elitist condescension based on her public remarks about her stimulus check and her earrings.

Michelle never said that she would buy a pair of $600.00 earrings….period.  They could easily be a 100.00 pair of earrings and the rest spent on something else.  Who knows?

The point is $600.00 isn’t a lot of money.  It isn’t.

To move the conversation to her job and then using her career choice to label her a “parasite” is going farther than debating her remark.

If you are too childish to admit that, I don’t really give a crap Bat.

Attacking Obama’s wife by calling her a parasite opens pandoras box. 

If you are going to attach Michele’s career choice, then we can attack Cindy’s because Michele’s career choice has NOTHING TO DO WITH HER COMMENT!!

Got it?

H,

If you feel that something that was said abut Michelle Obama was out of line, then you should say so and argue that point.  Instead you are using someone else’ misstep to rationalize your own.  In essence you are saying, “He threw a tomato at my school bus, so its okay for me to throw one at his.”

That’s childish, and its reasoning unworthy of an adult.

Got it?

Finally, watch your personal pronouns!  I didn’t “attack Michelle’s career choice” as you’ve implied.

If you are going to debate me, as you indicated you wished to do two days ago, you’ll have to be a lot more precise with both your thinking and your diction if you have any hope of being successful.

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

H: I referred to Michelle as a parasite, because she has always lived off the taxpayer, and her present position and salary is due to her husband’s political clout.  In light of this, her elitist remarks about the amount of the stimulus check are particularly hypocritical, since she is totally dependent on the govt giving her taxpayer money.  There is no valid comparison to Cindy McCain, who works for a living, and as Bat and I have already pointed out, telling the truth about where Michelle’s money and privilege comes from is neither attack, slander or an excuse to smear Cindy.

Keep squealing!

True.  Good point.  You are right.  That is why I like you Bat, you make valid, reasonable points.

That said, your argument is only half as reasonable as it could have been.  If you are going to be so considerate of going after those who have committed an offense, you should have told Robert that he was out of line as you did to me.  That way, at least I would know you have principles as opposed to emotional reactions.  Until you can call out your own, your criticism is only half-hearted.

That’s childish, and its reasoning unworthy of an adult.

Show me your principles and your adult behavior Bat, or stop displaying your lopsided standards.

Still distracting from the topic of the thread, I see!
This thread isn’t about you and your feelings, H, any more than it is about your juvenile smears of Cindy McCain.

Keep squealing!

Robert,

You are unworthy of debating, because you can never meet your opponent half way.

That said, my responses to you, aren’t for your consideration.  They are for others to read to apply logic where you abandon it.

Now, let’s parse this puppy.

I referred to Michelle as a parasite, because she has always lived off the taxpayer,

Always is a word you don’t understand, apparently.  Sidley Austin is NOT a government entity, you dope!

Sidley Austin LLP, formerly known as Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, is one of the oldest law firms in the world. It is the sixth-largest U.S.-based corporate law firm with over 1,800 lawyers, annual revenues of more than one billion dollars, and offices in 16 cities worldwide, with the most recent addition of Sydney, Australia, in May 2007. It is a full-service law firm, with broad experience in transaction and litigation matters. Its original predecessor firm was founded in 1866 and had Mary Todd Lincoln, the widow of President Abraham Lincoln, among its earliest clients.

Got it?

Let me reiterate:

Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin where she first met her husband. At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property.[2]

Are you getting it???

In 1996, Obama served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she developed the University’s Community Service Center.[23] In 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May, 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.[24] She still holds the position, though is working part time in order to devote more time to being a mother.[25]

She rocks.  Compared to Cindy….she is a rock star.

..and her present position and salary is due to her husband’s political clout.

So what!  She is still a incredibly successful and talented individual.

There is no valid comparison to Cindy McCain, who works for a living,

Serving on a board is not “work”.  Further, the only time she “worked” was for a non-profit….....and…you guessed it….NON PROFITS ARE SUCKING OF THE TAXPAYER TEET!!

You are an idiot.

H,

Okay… briefly, ‘cuz I gots other stuff to get done today:

First, while I appreciate the compliment, I think you misapprehend my motives.  I am not here to hold myself out as a paragon of objectivity and fairness.  I don’t read every post or every comment here, nor do I offer criticism of every statement I find objectionable or with which I disagree.

Your remarks were directed to me.  Robert’s were not.  I responded to you… not to him.

I’m not the owner of the site, nor it’s Pooh-Bah of principles and protocol, and I have no pretense of being “fair and balanced” ... just reasoned and rational.  If you think of me as being more than what I’ve acknowledged, you are mistaken however honored I may be by the compliment.

Okay?

“Capitalism is optimism monetized.”

Your remarks were directed to me.  Robert’s were not.  I responded to you… not to him.

Nope!  My initial remarks were directed at Robert, you intervened as the self-appointed fairness referee.  THEN, and only then, did I engage you when I made my argument to defend myself, from your attack.

I’m not the owner of the site, nor it’s Pooh-Bah of principles and protocol, and I have no pretense of being “fair and balanced” ... just reasoned and rational.

Then your argument is lopsided and unworthy of consideration if you aren’t going to stand for principles.  Period.

You are unworthy of debating, because you can never meet your opponent half way.

Apparently you don’t know the meaning of the word “debate”, either.

You have finally given some counter-arguments, which is what debate is really about, and I will consider the points you made, which is also what debate is really about, and get back to you.

Unfortunately, your puerile personal crap detracts from what might have been a discussion based on facts and logic.

She rocks.  Compared to Cindy….she is a rock star.

This is just partisan nonsense, and has nothing to do with debate.
You concede my point that Michelle’s present position is both taxpayer-supported and due to her husband’s political influence, and then say “So what?”
This foolish nonsense has nothing to do with debate, either.
Cindy’s money comes from the private sector, while the taxpayers pay for Michelle’s “success”.
Get the difference?

The bottom line here is still that this thread is still about Michelle’s arrogant, elitist pronouncement, not about Cindy McCain at all.  You are distracting, not debating.

Debate requires a “pro” side and a “con” side, not childish hitback.
Here’s an example:

Pro: Michele’s statement is arrogant and elitist.
Con: Michele’s statement was not arrogant and elitist.

See?  Nothing whatsoever about anyone else.
That would be a real debate.

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

...to defend myself, from your attack.

Your narcissistic self-absorption is noted.  Refuting your bullshit is not an “attack”; it’s an exercise in basic logical thinking.
