Michelle Obama Appears On The Colbert Report
April 16th, 2008 | by admin |
Last night, the wife of Barack Obama made her first ever appearance on The Colbert Report.
Michelle Obama was live and in person with Stephen Colbert who from all accounts held no punches during his interview.
He even had time to flatter her: “You’re a very good-looking lady,” he said. For those who maybe wondering, Obama was wearing a bright blue sleeveless boatneck dress.
“Everybody knows you and your husband are elitists,” Mr. Colbert said. “Tell me about your elite upbringing on the South Side of Chicago. How many silver spoons in your mouth?”
“We had four spoons,” Michelle quipped back.
She added: “And then my father got a raise at the plant, and we had five spoons.”
“That sounds posh,” replied Mr. Colbert.
On a funny side, Michell insisted that Colbert sing for her to make Barack jealous, afterwhich stating that her husband had a better singing voice.
On a serious note, she did speak as to why more women should be voting for Barack opposed to Hillary: “Many women like myself who are independent, strong, focused, who care about family values, who know that Barack is special, that he has something unique to offer the country, and that his perspective is really gonna change the lives of working women, he understands because he’s living with me,” Mrs. Obama said.

Barack Obama will make the change that so many Bitter Americians feel. Jobs are gone from Ohio, Indiana, Penn, etc. and what are we to do? We too have families that have lost everything except hope and faith. Obama brings hope to millions of people that is hanging on by faith and it is time for CHANGE. We don’t same people with the same OLD ideas in the White House.

Why not take up a new career as say an International Art or Jewel thief. Selling “poon tang” is highly profitable also. What you’re experiencing is the new American mantra “Crime doesn’t pay, but neither do white collar jobs.” So you need to find something highly profitable & not too risky in terms of survivability.
