Michelle Obama: ‘We Need Someone Who’s Honest and Plays by the Rules’ as President

[IsailedawayfromFR]

At a Hillary Clinton campaign rally Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a fiery speech, taking direct aim at Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump. “We need someone who’s honest and plays by the rules,” Obama said, referring to the former Secretary of State as a good replacement for her husband, President Barack Obama.

At the event, which targeted young voters, Obama warned against those thinking of casting protest votes, saying “don’t play with that.” Her message: a vote for anybody but Hillary Clinton is a vote for Clinton’s opponent. To further stress how important each vote is, Obama highlighted how, in 2008, her husband won by only an average of two votes per precincts in North Carolina. In addition to warning people not to stay home because they are frustrated, Obama relentlessly pounded the young audience to make sure they are registered to vote.

Throughout her speech, Obama never mentioned Trump by name, but made it abundantly clear who her jabs were directed at. She repeatedly attacked Trump’s ability to lead due to his lack of experience, maturity, temperament, and consistency, stating that the long election process is a way for voters to get to know the candidates. They will not change once they become president, Obama said.

Obama referred repeatedly to Clinton as the most qualified person to ever run for president, even more than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, proclaiming that Clinton knows what it takes to be president and the responsibility that comes along with the job. In one direct jab, Obama stated that a president does not cry foul as she began to tap her microphone and smile, referring to the microphone troubles that Trump had during the first debate. This technical problem was first played off as Trump “crying foul,” but was ultimately proven to be true.

Seems with that statement, she has disqualified Hillary and is urging her husband to step down at the same time.

all the sane people in the audience choked

Well, that eliminates both Clinton and Trump.

Michelle Obama: ‘We Need Someone Who’s Honest and Plays by the Rules’ as President

It's interesting that a First Lady would so condemn her husband  but after 8 years of Barry being dishonest and making up his own rules, Mich is probably sick of it too. I hate agreeing with a Dem.

[NavyCanDo]

Sadly we lost anyone of that description way back in the primaries.

[Norm Lenhart]

Sadly we lost anyone of that description way back in the primaries.

Semantics here but...

No we didn't. Drooling lobotomites pretending to be right wingers intentionally did the open leftists job for them and ensured through their support of the lifetime liberal, Donald Trump, that no good man emerged victorious. There was no loss. It was intentional sabotage from within. Or as @INVAR so accurately reminds us all, a coup.

THEN they sent the message that any good person would be personally and financially/career destroyed when they floated trial balloons about primarying ANYONE that didn't get on their cattle car to the GOP reeducation camp.

THEN they came to sites like this and LITERALLY threatened to hunt down opponents with dogs. Among other traditionally Nazi/Fascist deployed historical tactics/threats. So I would argue that any good man wasn't 'lost' by any definition.

[jpsb]

Well, that eliminates both Clinton and Trump.

One of them, Clinton or Trump, will be the next POTUS. Let's make sure it is not Clinton by voting for Trump.

[Norm Lenhart]

Lets vote for a conservative rather than either liberal and stop empowering our problems. Unless you WANT a liberal in control. Do you?

[sneakypete]

She was able to say this without bursting into hysterical laughter?

[sneakypete]

Well, that eliminates both Clinton and Trump.

@jmyrlefuller

Not to mention Bathhouse Barry,the college graduate that seems to have never attended classes or taken tests.

Why? I don't see one as being better than the other.

On the issues Trump is more conservative than any GOP nominee since Reagan. So yes I will the voting for a conservative when I vote for Trump.  More importantly I will be voting for the ONLY person cabable of preventing the election of Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton as POTUS will kill the Republic.

Anyone not voting Trump is enabling Hillary and helping to destroy the USA as a constitutional republic.

As POTUS hillary will grant amnesty to tens of millions and no conservative will ever again be elected nationally. Got that? American conservatism will be in the ash heap of history if Hillary gets elected.

As POTUS hillary will nominate Marxists judges to the courts including the Supreme Court. The American constitution will be in the ash heap of history if Hillary is elected.

As POTUS hillary will increase ten fold the number of Muslim "refugees" coming to the country. The war on terror will come to the USA big time if Hillary is elected.

As POTUS hillary will continue the pro-Muslin Brotherhood policies of the current administration. Wars, wars and more wars.

As POTUS hillary will erode US sovereignty by allowing trade deals like TPP to become law.

As POTUS hillary will continue the pro Globalism policies of the current administration.

etc

Trump will do none of the above.

@Norm Lenhart

I take it @geronl that you are cool with the things that Hillary will do, as out lined above, but Trump won't.

Perhaps you forgot that Trump himself told America that everything he says is a 'suggestion' and part of his negotiation. While you're seeking out a good remedial school for Civics classes, you might see if thy offer any reading comp classes as well as you seem to have difficulty comprehending what your own candidate tells you that you don't want to hear when it contradicts what your candidate says that you do want to hear.

Or you could stop backing a lifetime liberal that donated extensively to, and praised, the woman you are so afraid of. But hey, if you want to be known as one of the people that allowed themselves to be conned so publicly, thats your call. But I would argue a dominatrix in Vegas will humiliate you for less money and you'll leave having actually gotten something out of the experience.

[LMAO]

Protectionism when it comes to trade, more spending, more growth in government, new entitlements,ect ect are not conservative positions. Our disintegrating fiscal situation isn't going to improve with either one of these candidates. They both are promising to spend more and that is going to have both short and long term ramifications
In fact, when the GOP adopted those positions under GWB and the GOP congress, they ended up losing elections and having conservatives abandon the GOP

Just because someone can rattle off positions that someone else wrote on their website  does not make them a conservative.

In fact, Trump is closer to a RINO at the very least

[LMAO]

She was able to say this without bursting into hysterical laughter?

We laugh.  But politics is a different world and there is a chance she believes this about Clinton.

These are the same people that believe Obamacare is a success and the economy is booming

@LMAO @Norm Lenhart

Why is it that you Trump bashers never respond with anything other then (incorrect) opinion?

With in the first week of Trump declaring his candidacy he pretty much stakes out the issues he was running on and has been remarkably consistent on those issues. Hardly someone that is "rattle[ing] off positions that someone else wrote".

Protectionism was a core conservative principle from 1776 until late in the 20th century when the hated neocons began taking over the GOP.

I get very tired of replies that boil down to "Trump Sucks" that are backed by zero documentation, zero citations and never a link to any kind of supporting evidence.

How about you #NeverTrumper tell me why you want to elect Hillary? And do not give me that "No we don't" crap. Only one candidate can prevent Hillary from being elected and we all know who that candidate is.

[Norm Lenhart]

@LMAO @Norm Lenhart

This is exactly why you need reading comp classes. You emote things at random after trying to read something and mistakenly conclude it to be wrong.

See, the problem is that I'm right. Well, the problem for you. But going forward, you should know since all you do is divert away from things that you don't like, that you'll be mocked as you have nothing of value to offer. Only excuses, talking points and outright lying. There is ZERO point trying to honestly communicate with propagandists. So mockery is what you get.

You spent the whole day yesterday ducking issues and spouting "incorrect opinion"...which BTW, thats another reason you need classes. Opinion cannot by definition be incorrect. It's 'opinion'.

If you are gonna try making excuses for your guy, at least have the sense to properly use words. And that means understanding their meanings first.

Remarkably consistent???  HAhahahaha!   Pardon me for asking...but....

what planet have YOU been tuning in from?

But in an interview airing Thursday night, Trump pulled one of the biggest about-faces of his campaign. He said Merkel -- the woman he accused of causing crime in Germany to rise to unbelievable levels and creating a "catastrophe" for her country -- was a world leader he admired.

The only thing remarkable about Donald J. Trump is that, at this point, anyone with an ounce of common sense believes a word that he utters and/or tweets.  And the only thing consistent is the fact that he flips and flops on pretty much every stance he has taken.  But hey....if you don't like the political stance Trump has on an issue.....

wait a minute.  He's like the weather, you know.

Good point. It's easy to overlook insanity and gross stupidity as being real and common because most of us that don't vote Dim rarely see or experience it when nobody named Bush is running.

Re Merkel from your link
Asked by New England Cable News about a world leader he wanted to "emulate", here's what Trump said: “Well, I think Merkel is a really great world leader, but I was very disappointed ... with the whole thing on immigration. I think it’s a big problem. I was always a Merkel person. But I think she made a very tragic mistake a year and a half ago."

I do not see that as a flip flop.

Re Trump flip-flops on Israel-Palestine
Trump has always been pro Israel no flip flop here either.

Re Abortion
Ok he flipped but he flipped to pro-life so I am cool with that.

Two observations, Norm, if I may.

1.  Trump supporters, the kind mostly found at TOS, are like the farmer that uses hydrochloric acid to clear out clogged drains. No matter how nicely you put it, they don't appear to get it, until the acid eats through the pipes. Most of us now here at TBR, are the folks who nicely tell the farmer not to look for a different alternative. Unfortunately, we're too late in the process now, and the pipes will be thoroughly destroyed on November 8th.

2.  The bubble that wealthy and powerful people live in must be intoxicating. You're surrounded by sycophants who are always kissing your butt, and telling you how brilliant you are, that you never make a mistake. Once Barack and Michelle leave the White House, they'll reach enormous sums of wealth, but they will be out of power, and the coming investigations of the Clinton Foundation will destroy the Obamas' ambitions in that regard. The only reason why Clinton Inc. raked in the cash was the monetizing the influence of a potential Hillary presidency, a dream of Democrats since Bill left office in 2001. Clinton Inc. will now die with Bill IMO.

Sure, they'll be celebrities, but their influence won't nearly be what they hoped it would be.

[The_Reader_David]

So is the First Lady endorsing Stein?  (I assume she wouldn't be endorsing Johnson, Castle or McMullen).
