Michelle Obama Joins Hillary Bashing.

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: In advance of her trip tomorrow to fundraise overseas in London, Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., mirrored her husband's attacks this week going after frontrunner Hillary Clinton in an interview with the Sunday Times. You can read the article HERE.
Linking Hillary and Bill to old hat, Mrs. Obama compares them to "the same suit and defies the sense that Hillary is the "inevitable" candidate because she doesn't have the most money nor the biggest base of donors. Mrs. Obama also addresses the issue of Clinton being a polarizing figure.
"Nothing is inevitable," said Mrs. Obama, vowing that her husband was a "uniter" who could beat Clinton to the party nomination.
Asked if she thought Clinton was a polarising figure, she replied: "That is definitely one of the challenges she faces. You can see it in the surveys."
"People know Hillary and Bill, so their first instinct is to say: well, I've heard of these people," she said. "But the more people see Barack, the more they like him. His favourable ratings are higher and, to top it off, he has brought in more money than any other candidate from a broader base of support."
"The 'inevitable' candidate has not raised the most money and doesn’t have the biggest base of donors . . . So where's the 'inevitability'?"
"Sometimes we wear the same suit even if it’s got holes in it. We need a new suit, not just a new tie or new pants."

What I can't figure out is how Hillary garner's any support at all. She does not have the resume of a leader, she does not have the backbone of a commander in Chief, she cannot just ride in on the coattails of her cheating philandering husband who was a national disgrace. She changes her mind as often as she changes her clothes. What does that tell you? She would love to take all your money and parse it back to you and tell you how to live your life, because she thinks she is better than all of you. We don't need a nanny state where government runs our lives, but that is what you will get with Hillary...I hope the Edwards and Obama's keep up the campaign against the cackling hyena and defeat her soundly...we don't need 4 let alone 8 more years of the white trash Clintons in the white house again.

The country was in much better shape with Clintons' in the white house? Hmmm, I believe it was Bill who let Osama Bin Laden go...it was Bill who allowed the terrorists to get away with murder many times, and never lifted a finger. His wife Hillary has never run a company, never run a city, never run a State, she has no experience to run a country, much less our National Health Care system and everything else she wants to tinker with. I wouldn't hire the woman to be a dog catcher. She doesn't have the RESUME of an accomplished leader just because she lived in a house or was married to man who cheated on her constantly. The woman is NOT Margaret Thatcher, she is not a good diplomat...She lies to get what she wants, she will do anything to get power...the only thing she is good at is campaigning with other people's money. She's coming after your wallet soon...so you just as well start giving it her now.

I guess Michelle and Barack can afford "a new suit" as they can use the $300,000 "break" they got from Tony Rezko for the lot that they "bought" from Rezko's wife.. I know the Obama cultists will say that "this is old news" and it is ,in Chicago, as we know that Rezko is the bagman for the Chicago machine.
