LimpBag takes Michelle Obama out of context

[Nonno]

"Like a broken record, Rush got today's show started with the latest Drudge-special. This time, Drudge posted a headline taking Michelle Obama out of context, and Rush ran with it:

LIMBAUGH: As you know, President Obama is heading off to Copenhagen tomorrow to make a final pitch for the Olympics in Chicago in 2016. His wife, Michelle-my-belle, already there, conducting big-time meetings. She said the most audacious thing, which I'm going to analyze in greater detail in just a moment. She said it is a sacrifice for her to fly over there and make a pitch for the Olympics, that it is a sacrifice for her husband to fly over there to make a pitch for the Olympics, but that they are doing it for the kids.

The full quote, in context, shows that Michelle Obama was actually praising the "sacrifice" of those "working for years to bring this bid" to Chicago:

MICHELLE OBAMA: It does something to a kid when they can feel that energy and power up close and personal. And for some kids in our communities and our city, around the nation, around the world, they can never dream of being that close to such power and opportunity. So that's what excites me most about bringing the Games to Chicago - the impact that it can have on the lives of our young people, and on our entire community.

And I know that's what all of you have been working for for these past few months. As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the President to come for these few days, so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home, and you have put together a phenomenal set of ideas that, no matter what the outcome is, we should be proud of as a city.

Rush made an act of all this by saying that Michelle Obama was talking about her "sacrifice" while American soldiers "are being shot at and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan because of inaction and indecision and probably apathy on the part of President Obama."

Who are the people who are claiming that she, the President and Oprah had sacrificed to go there? Because, that's what she's saying, based on this quote.

Isn't this the same woman, who said: "I am proud to be an American, for the first time in my life."

Right after her husband won the Demokratic presidential nomination?

Her words, I think, speak for themselves.............

Oh it's for the children hey? Lying stunt. Ok then, the children in Rio don't have the vast opportunities the kids in Chicago do but ignore them right? I say we cheer for the children of Rio.

Exactly, it's just a not so clever way to pat herself on the back. "People tell me what a sacrifice I'm making". What a self congratulatory wench. She ought to start calling herself Saint Michelle of Copenhagen.

[ImnoMensa]

It appears to me in context she is saying it was a sacrifice for her to go there/

Yeah: Such a sacrifice should happen to me . A free first class flight to Copenhagen on my own private plane, stay in the finest hotels. 100 Secret service agents at my beck and call , several SUV's sent over for me to ride around in. Got dam throw me in that briar patch.

Now as for taking Michelle out of context. I wouldnt take her out of context or in context or if she was giving it away for free. Ohh: they mean her words/

Wait for it! Self congratulatory words are sure to follow!
