Tea Partiers Explode Over Michelle Obama at the Oscars

Really, Tea Partiers? You’re upset that the First Lady of the United States was on the Oscars? It’s not like she gave a political speech.

I wouldn’t have objected to Laura Bush appearing. Heck, even George W Bush saying a few nice things about the movies would have been OK.

But somehow whenever Michelle does anything, you guys react like the devil has appeared. “Michelle has suggested that we should eat better and exercise! She’s trying to take away our rights!!!”

Is there anything she can do publicly that you don’t disagree with? And is there any chance you might stop looking like idiots?

Addendum: After posting this, I discovered that in 2002 Laura Bush did appear on the Oscars, on a big screen, just like Michelle Obama. Hey, does everyone remember how liberals protested when that was done?

One thought on “Tea Partiers Explode Over Michelle Obama at the Oscars

  1. When I first saw this, I wasn’t bothered very much. I figured it was just right wing pundits who make a living complaining about Obama every day.

    But, then I actually read some of the complaints, specifically the piece in the Washington Post complaining that Mrs. Obama didn’t mention the military. Today, in fact, she is meeting with Governors trying to get a credential system for vereran’s military skills that will translate to civilian life and help them get jobs. She is using her position to do something that will actual honor the sacrifice out soldiers make, and help insure they are treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve when they return home.

    It sickens me that someone would value a shout out on TV to doing something with actual substance that will affect lives in a positive way.
