Michelle Obama Pants on Fire
ByKarin McQuillan (http://www.americanthinker.com/karin_mcquillan/)
For those of you who couldn't stomach watching Michelle Obama Tuesday night, you missed quite a performance. She has become a pro at public speaking. She reads the teleprompter as smoothly as her husband, with emotion added in all the right places. It went over just fine in the hall, with Democrats mooning over her with the same creepy rapture we saw in Obama's mass appearances in 2008. They cried when she called herself Mom-in-Chief. Enough said.
What was most interesting was that her speech had obviously been reworked rapidly in the last week. It was a weird, copycat complement to Republicans. It's like an unsure competitor looking to see what the champion is doing, and quickly trying to mimic it. "Oh, you talked a lot about the American Dream and that resonated with the public -- watch me, I can do it, too." She even cribbed lines and phrases from the Romneys. The trouble is that the pretend principles did not match who the Obamas actually are. It was the perfect ersatz speech from the wife of our Faker in Chief.
It seemed to me that the Dems have been polling the impact of Dinesh D'Souza's important film, 2016: Obama's America and feel they have to counter it. Although all the experts keep telling us we mustn't say anything negative about Obama because the public won't believe it and won't like it, Obama does not share their confidence.
Michelle's whopper of the night was a direct lie to counter the impact of 2016:
And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me. ... But when Barack started telling me about his family - that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine. You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money
or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable - their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.
