    If we eat our meat, as it were, may we have the pudding?

     

    Michelle Obama has been setting off fireworks for a while, as far as I've been concerned, but it is painfully evident that the former first lady president we really need is Mrs. Obama

    For Michelle Obama, it’s personal.

    In what immediately emerged as a landmark moment in the final stretch of the campaign, the first lady delivered an impassioned rebuke of Donald Trump — directly pitting her persona, her family, her stature, against Trump.

    “I listen to all of this and I feel it so personally," Obama said at a campaign rally in New Hampshire. “And I'm sure that many of you do, too, particularly the women. The shameful comments about our bodies, the disrespect of our intelligence. The belief you can do anything to a woman? It is cruel. It's frightening. And the truth is, it hurts. It hurts.”

    Obama said she was “shaken to her core” by Trump’s latest comments, in which he said his star power let him sexually assault women with impunity. Now she’s using her star power to defeat Trump — to keep him from moving into her house, from sitting at her husband’s desk, from leading her daughters’ country.

    “Imagine waking up on November the 9th and looking into the eyes of your daughter or son,” Obama said, “or looking into your own eyes as you stare into the mirror. Imagine how you'll feel if you stayed home, or if you didn't do everything possible to elect Hillary. We simply cannot let that happen.”

    Michelle Obama says Trump's talk of sexual assault has 'shaken me to my core'

    Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm

     

    That was a helluva speech.  Didn't think my respect and admiration for Michelle could get any higher, but they've blasted past the stratosphere and are halfway to Mars, still gaining speed.

    I dunno, like most things.

    She is in her fifties....I suppose she could run for office around age 60 like Warren and move on up?

    I have always admired her.

    And this last speech has left a lasting impression on folks like Rachel or Lawrence or a number of other folks.

    Hell, Wolf claims he likes her and never likes anyone. hahahah

    Yeah, it was a great speech.

    You almost wonder if both Obama's went to the same school.

    hahaha

    No, no, I was thinking IMMEDIATELY after Hillary, like 2020.
