Barack Obama Defends Michelle Obama: "Lay Off My Wife"

After the Tennessee GOP aired a video ad featuring Michelle Obama uttering her most famous comments hinting to her lack of American pride, Barack Obama warned, “Lay off my wife.”[1]

Apparently, chivalry is not dead in the Obama camp, or is it? Not to long ago, in a bitter town, Barack Obama gave a "race" speech designed to control some of the damage stirred up by his mentor, the Rev. Wright. During this spin, Obama threw his grandmother under the bus by suggesting she held unfounded fears based on race, and later claimed she is a "typical white" person. Barack Obama attacked his “white” grandmother's character all in the pursuit of political gain. [2]

Barack Obama's treatment of his grandmother was and is shameful. While he was battering the lighter side of his family he was protecting his bitter wife and shrugging off alliances to the most radical and anti-American segments of American society. I am starting to doubt Louis Farrakhan's assessment that Barack Obama is "well groomed."[3] Barack Obama is simply enjoying the spoils of being the media’s darling.

It's rather simple Barack Obama, if your angry bride wishes to appear as your surrogate and attack America, then she is fair game. Perhaps sir, you need to thicken that skin of yours and save some chivalry for your grandmother.

Barack Obama has identified two individuals that have the greatest influence on his thinking; they are his wife Michelle Obama and Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. [4]

Barack did a miserable job at distancing himself from one anti-American "relative," let's take a quick look at some of the comments by his other "greatest influence."


1985, Princeton Thesis: "There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost." -The future Mrs. Michelle Obama [5]

February 2008, UCLA: "before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation."-Michelle Obama [6]

February 2008, Milwaukee, Wisconsin: “People in this country are ready for change and hungry for a different kind of politics and …for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country -Michelle Obama [7]

Mrs. Obama delivered an amended version of the speech later that day in Madison, Wis.

Madison, Wisconsin: “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country, not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,”-Michelle Obama [7]

March 10th [2008] edition of The New Yorker: "we're a country that is just downright mean." -Michelle Obama [8]

The above is just a few "snippets" gleaned from larger speeches that Michelle Obama has given. The full context of those speeches will reveal an uglier version of the bride of Barack, one steeped in anger of monstrous proportions, Marxist ideals, and anti-American sentiment.

Ironically, when it was still politically expedient for Barack Obama to defend his "uncle", Barack complained that the media was only using "snippets" of the Reverend's speeches that he has delivered over the years. That complaint has prompted many to view those speeches in its entirety and what was revealed was hateful anti-American rhetoric, just in full context. The more Michelle Obama speaks it is apparent that she is a believer of the Reverend Wright's teachings.

Now that it is no longer politically healthy for Barack Obama to defend his "uncle", he has finally added some distance. Now, for the first time in his children's young lives there is hope that his daughters will have a change in doctrine. Well...there is still momma.

If Barack Obama wants the Tennessee GOP to lay off his wife, perhaps Michelle Obama should lay off America. Until then, Michelle Obama is fair game.
