The First Lady to the Rescue

As the harsh realities of the U.S economy, Greece’s bankruptcy and the unraveling of the European Union, Muslim takeovers of European countries, Eric Holder’s disregard for the law, and Barack Obama’s Marxist policies continue to surface, pundits and politicians stubbornly continue to play the Let’s Pretend Game.

This odd game of self-delusion has one ironclad rule:  Discuss all topics within accepted mainstream parameters — no exceptions.  And as Michelle Obama is now emerging to try to save her husband’s dream of resurrecting the dreams from his father, the parameters are clear:  The First Lady must always be treated in a deferential manner without regard to the facts.

The let’s pretenders continue to insist that Michelle Obama is “the First Lady we’ve always wanted,” that she is passionate about helping obese children and slaving away in her organic White House garden, and, in general, that she is a sweet, kind, supportive spouse.  As a result, they give her consistently high approval ratings in the polls, notwithstanding the fact that her well-documented past paints a very different picture of her, one of a bitter, disgruntled socialist who is obsessively focused on racial injustice.

Can Michelle the Magnificent save her increasingly disrobed husband from a Jimmy Carter-like fate?  Perhaps.  At a recent Florida fundraiser, she told the down-with-the-rich crowd, “This is not a joke.  The choices are clear.  We need you fired up and ready to go, working hard every minute of the day.  We don’t have time to joke around.  You got to shake people up.  You got to get them ready to roll.  We can do this.”

The operative words you should keep in mind are:  “We don’t have time to joke around.”  Now, what could she possibly have meant by that?

Hints:

Think ignoring Congress and overwhelming Americans with executive orders to implement still more redistribution-of-wealth policies.

Think encouraging “civil unrest” to highlight the “unfair” distribution of wealth in downright-mean America.

Think suspending the 2012 elections!

Take the woman seriously when she says, “We don’t have time to joke around.”  The hacks on the far left have twelve long months to create mischief, and I give you 100 percent assurance that they will pull out all stops — legal and illegal — to do just that in an attempt to hang onto power.

And in that vein, you can expect to see much more of the First Lady we’ve always wanted between now and November 6, 2012.  I hope you’re up to playing the Let’s Pretend Game that long.
