Michelle's "Built by Slaves" Comment

In her Democratic Convention speech Michelle Obama repeated something that she has said before: "I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves'.

But, she never seems to mention that she also wakes up every morning in a house in which a man and a Republican by the name of Abraham Lincoln lived and worked to conduct a war to free the slaves.  Thus paving the way so that she and Barack Obama can wake up in that very same house.

The Obama's can never make a positive comment without framing it in a negative.

Obama Showing Restraint

During last week's 60 Minutes interview, President Barack Obama placed himself in fourth place against the legislative accomplishments of all other Presidents in American history. In fact, "he sees himself" just behind Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson. For an "I-me-my" narcissist like Obama, this shows amazing and, I'm quite sure, mentally torturing restraint. For sure, he really wanted to say that he was "Numero Uno" but, instead, decided to "try and be humble" and seem a little less "audacious" by only pronouncing himself as history's fourth greatest President. Of course, in his mind, there's no doubt that all the Presidential historians, both now and going forward, will see him in that top slot; anyway. And, if you don't think so...just ask him!
