I heard some Barack Obama campaign people today making a point of pointing out that Obama is making a point of speaking to the issues in his latest speeches. This is in reaction to the allegations from the Cl…

Admittedly this is one of those stories that I want to file under “What the Hell!” or “stranger than fiction”.

But then again, nothing - or at least very little - in American Politics it really so unbelievable or implausible as to be…

Make no mistake about it. Michelle Obama is an impressive figure. She is obviously bright, attractive, and has an effective speaking presentation. Yet, like her husband, I wonder if her listeners are really stopping to analyze her message. To me, Mrs Obama is an angry woman who has some pretty negative opinions about her country and our people.

In the UCLA appearnce at Pauley Pavilian, Mrs Obama went through a litany of all the things that are wrong with America. Much like John Edwards, she complains about the inability of everyday people to obtain health care, insurance, and this and that, as if we were living in Bangladesh. I have heard her make these complaints before. At UCLA, she also complained that Americans are walling ourselves off from each other (I am paraphrasing). According to her, we fear and distrust each other. I found myself wishing that she would have gone deeper into this theme. Who specifically was she referring to? Was she really saying that white people fear and distrust black people-or vis-versa? If that is what she means, then it might be worthwhile to spell it out and let’s have a discussion or debate on that topic. But, alas, she let it hang. After all, she was getting so many cheers from the young audience, that she didn’t need to take it any farther than that….but she did, informing the audience that “our souls are broken.”
Really?

Then, of course, Mrs Obama told her audience that the only person who could turn things around in this country was her husband, Barack Obama-then led the crowd into the old demogogic chant of “Yes, we can, Yes, we can, yes, we can!”

I should concede here that many listeners on the left have commented very approvingly of her speech, but those on the left generally do enjoy hearing the negative points of America, so that is hardly surprising.

If we need to dig deeper into Barack Obama’s words and look beyond the soaring oratory (which we should), I think we need to do the same with the prospective First Lady. Her message seems to be very much like that of John Edwards; the negative thesis, the negative tone, what’s wrong with our country, class envy, and so on. Michelle Obama may come across as inspiring to many, but to me, she seems angry, with a rather negative outlook on our country. It reinforces my concern that there is a hidden agenda behind the Obamas’ vision for America.

The heart of the speech is a glaring example of what is wrong with modern liberalism (aside from their bizzare belief that socialism somehow extends human freedom). It’s that whole “rendering unto Caeser” thing. Government is not responsible for our souls, or for our happiness, or for any state of mind we find ourselves in. If we want an all encompassing body of law that covers every aspect of life and guarantees salvation, there’s always sharia.

But the real issue is that a state cannot concern itself with individual salvation and not tend towards totalitarianism. Michelle ought to examine just how her ideal government can possibly balance individual freedom with all that soul repairing.

I really don’t know what to make of Michelle Obama’s speech. I know she STRONGLY believes in her husband’s message and candidacy. But I think she got so wrap up in her belief that she just let loose with comments that would alarm some people. I for one think that Congress would impeach a President that turned into a pure theocrat (and GWB Jr is not a pure theocrat) whether religious or “statist”. And I firmly believe Senator Obama is not going to go down that road. Yet I don’t like what Michelle Obama said. Methinks Senator Obama needs to bring her back into the fold for awhile.

We’ll know for sure when the Truthers start wearing Obama buttons I guess.
