Michelle Obama: Our Souls Are Broken

In case you were wondering, Michelle Obama would like you to know what’s wrong the country and what can be done to fix it:

We have lost the understanding that in a democracy, we have a mutual obligation to one another — that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to measure our greatness by the least of these. That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done.

That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.

Uhh…why are we talking about souls in a presidential election? I’m serious.  I wasn’t sure Michelle Obama could top her dreaming journey line, but she just did…

Could we please drop the vacuous rhetoric? Or, at least recognize it as such.  If she really believes this, then some serious questions need to be asked.  For instance: are we really not going to work on or solve problems until our souls are fixed?

In other Michelle Obama news, she’s finally proud of the United States as she indicated at a recent campaign stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

“Hope is making a comeback and, let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change,”

I have seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues and it has made me proud.”

First, it’s an obvious shot at Bill Clinton’s administration, but, no one’s going to discuss that.  Secondly, I hate to break it to her, but the country was fairly unified around some “basic common issues” in 1984, when Reagan won 60% of the vote carrying 49 states (525 electoral votes).  But, who cares about history…

Diagnosis: Broken Souls
Prescription: Barack Obama
