Michelle, Jill, Jay: Meet the WTF’s Booster Club

moji cheerleaders WooHoo! FLOTUS AND VFLOTUS address the nation’s governors, promoting support for military families.

MO and Jill have a new plan. It might sound like an old plan, but since they just announced it (again) yesterday that makes it a new plan. Today.

Oh, I forgot - the plan:

Because in the end, this is something that I think we can all agree on, no matter where we come from, no matter what we might think about any other issue. We all know that this issue -- this is not a Democrat issue, this is not a Republican issue. This is an American issue. And more importantly, this is an American obligation. It truly is.

It’s about showing our gratitude to that very small group of Americans who make such a tremendous contribution and sacrifice to this country. And it’s about serving the people who sacrifice so much to serve us.

No, heheheh. Don’t be silly. Lady M’s not talking about herself. Is she?

…which is how I came to this issue thinking about the challenges I face and then looking at a military spouse who is shouldering the exact same burden…

…So the thing I had to think about is if I’m feeling sorry for myself in my role with all that I’m juggling, just imagine if I were in their position, with the pressures and the challenges and the uncertainty.  But they do it proudly.  And that’s the thing that we’ve learned. 

Cuz, golly, who could have ever imagined that military families would be proud of their husbands, wives, dads, moms, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who were serving in the armed forces of the United States – of AMERICA! So you see, all those trips across country and Air Force Won-2 were worth it. Sort of like Hillary’s listening tours.

…So we’re excited.  We’re going to gear up.  We’re going to be working hard.  We’re going to (be) on the road.  We’re going to make this fun and exciting.  We’re going to pull in businesses and entertainment and sports, and we’re going to pull in all sectors to get behind this effort.

So thank you all in advance, and I look forward to visiting your states. (all 57 of them)  So you all take care and good luck. 

Good luck indeed! WTF! Win the Future. You know?

Mojill-0070Every team has a skinny blonde cheerleader with big boobs

And Big Guy spoke to the governors too, telling them about his WTF campaign:

We need a skilled and educated workforce, a commitment to cutting-edge research and technology, and a fast and reliable transportation and communications network. (Big Guy’s high speed internet train station at the next high speed off ramp) That’s how we’re going to bring new jobs to America, and that’s how we’re going to win the future.

And he even took time to address an issue that’s not even one that he’s personally responsible for:

But let me also say this:  I don’t think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon.  We need to attract the best and the brightest to public service.  These times demand it.  We’re not going to attract the best teachers for our kids, for example, if they only make a fraction of what other professionals make. 

Governor Walker’s press secretary, Cullen Werwie, responded for him:

I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.

Which just goes to show how important a press secretary can be. Take Big Guy’s for example: Since Big Guy was busy taking care of union business in Wisconsin, that left it up to JJ to handle foreign affairs this week:

carney_twitter_522_ap_regular_regular

Colonel Qaddafi needs to step aside, to step down. He has lost all legitimacy in the eyes of his people, most importantly, and in the eyes of the world community. He is no longer in a position to credibly lead his nation. And he is, in the meantime, inflicting horrific violence on the people he claims to serve and the people he claims love him -- which is quite a claim indeed. So I won’t put a deadline on it, except to say now would be good.

Big Guy said essentially the same thing last week, butt until you hear it from his press secretary, nobody takes it seriously. For some reason.

  2. MOTUS, tell us this is an old photo and she has not pulled the snake skin nightmare with the beaded bib and steering wheel cover piping out of the closet.

    If they are going to co-ordinate outfits, perhaps Auntie Jemima ought to insist Jill get into some calico, too. So that they are both dressed like children.

  7. That pathetic little "speech" exemplifies what MOO is - a shallow, patronizing, entitled and spoiled bitch.


    It’s about showing our gratitude to that very small group of Americans who make such a tremendous contribution and sacrifice to this country. And it’s about serving the people who sacrifice so much to serve us.

    I don't call the military community, which includes retirees, "a very small group". She sounds and looks like a child, talking to other children.

    Mrs. Obama, do a big favor for the "very small group": pretend you can't see us. Leave us the hell alone. We are not your little pet victims. And as a whole <span>we find you completely repugnant. </span>

  8. Ok I thought you took some creative license with Flo's remarks where she compared her sacrifice to that of military families. So I looked up the actual transcript and have learned a coupled of valuable lessons: Flo's self absorption knows no bounds and never doubt Motus. For her to stand in front of our nation's governors and talk about her job as first lady as overwhelming is bad enough but then to think she can hold a candle to our military families is delusional! She should have said there is no way I can imagine the difficulties you face each day butt we pray this program will some how lighten your load. (A girl can dream can't she?)

    What the hell does she have to juggle with 25 or so people doing her bidding?  She's a fool and Jill needs to get a decent hairstylist.  It's too blonde and too long.  It makes her look squashed.

    Dear First Fairy Barry:

    We HAVE a skilled and educated workforce, a commitment to cutting-edge research and technology, and a fast and reliable transportation and communications network that you and your fellow travellers are doing everything in your power to defeat and destroy.

    Africa called; they need you to come home and "fix things up" for them too. After all the "help" you've bestowed on White Americans, it does seem a little "racist" to ignore your own ancestors.

    Have a nice trip,

  22. There’s no official confirmation on dR Jill’s Wiki or on my hard drive, butt I’m pretty darn sure she was a cheerleader in high school and college. She has this picture hanging in her office with the caption plate “U of D Days”. That would be the University of Delaware.

  24. Mo the pugnacious twit....doesn't measure up to one little pinky of our troops or their families. She should be forced to sit and watch the homecomings of our troops. Maybe then she would stop whining about her miserable life in Big White. What sacrifice is she moaning about? Why, the sacrifice she made to give a speech in Big White. Total Asshat!! >:o

    ReplyDelete
  25. re: daggers at Jill. This is something that consistently infuriates me. WHY is MO always so oblivious to the fact that there are cameras on her at public events? If she's not glaring or pouting, she's pretending she's Jim Carey in The Mask. Someone so freaking self-important ought to be a little more self-conscious.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Woo-hoo! Today I managed to say something before being gazillion's comment!

    I feel for MO, as usual. Just think about it - juggling all those pesky assistants, all those pesky security people, smiling instead of scowling, and all other RESPAHSIBILITIES, you name it. All this wearing just little 1950-es housewife dress, you think it easy! It's waaaaaay more comlicated than managing your brood of rascals while your stinking hubby serves overseas. You, little people just have no clue, as usual.

  27. Carney said this with a straight face, huh?

    [President Obama] needs to step aside, to step down. He has lost all legitimacy in the eyes of his people, most importantly, and in the eyes of the world community. He is no longer in a position to credibly lead his nation.


    I agree, now would be good.

  28. Aw.. she's growing... figuratively speaking!  There is no stopping her now!  Before we know it, she'll be loving this country and if everything goes well, she'll finally be ashamed of her husband!  Good luck learning to be happy, Michelle.  You really need it. 

    ReplyDelete
  29. 'All the things I juggle ?' What would they be,exactly, her thighs and butt ?

    When I think back to raising 6 kids, having a high pressure job, I guess I was too busy to learn 'juggling.'  Damn, I did have a childhood dream of running away with the circus,but forgot to learn how to juggle... Since Moo is so good at this skill, maybe she will feel less sorry for herself if she applies to Barnum and Bailey next time they're in town...
    Somebody pleeeze give that bitch a prozac..

  30. That's how it sounded to me as well, that she was speaking to children. I guess that affirmative action education she recieved didn't include a speech class.

  31. I couldn't believe the excerpts either, so I clicked on the link.
    Alas, it's all true. In fact, MOTUS left out some details. This just bowled me over:
    "...thinking about the challenges I face and then looking at a military spouse who is shouldering the exact same burden -- juggling play dates and CARPOOLS...."

    "juggling play dates and CARPOOLS"???
    The closest MOO has gotten to 'car pooling' is picking up the phone to order up Air Force Won-Two to take her shopping.
    Pathetic.

    Playdates?  Carpools?  Is MAO talking about Barry's daily 'burger runs' to avoid that pesky 'Official Sign Sheet' at the White Hut?  I thought iReggie did all that...

    Where to start?  The purple coordination...a little subliminal 'solidarity' with SEIU and Wisconsin?  Yeah...my tinfoil is full shiny regala...the now annoying notice of 'Military families?' oh please...I guess the polling on "No Fat Kids Behinds...Let Them Moo" must be almost as bad as Duh Won's polling.  An all out AirFarceToo! assualt on all 57 states must be in the offing...I hope Koopie packs alot of designer (though NOT House of Dior--people are so 'literal') snackies for the plane rides in her Ferragamo "OdeDeHeftyCinch" sack!

  34. "...thinking about the challenges I face and then looking at a military spouse who is shouldering THE EXACT SAME BURDEN..."
    Wow, her narcissism and delusions of grandeur know no bounds.  Even more astounding is the fact that she was allowed to say that in public speech; that no one at the WH pulled her aside beforehand and told her, "Hey Michelle, it is NOT all about you." 
    BTW, if she is so empathetic towards military families, what exactly has she done since she took them up as a 'cause'.

  35. In that last picture, is Barry trying to get his courage up to pull the chair out from under Big Moo?  It would be a suicidal move on his part, butt he does look tempted!

For some reason it is moving up.  He will drum up enough babies, illegals and dead people to make up the two point spread he needs to win.  So we might be dealing with the "sacrificin" beech for six more years.  I need to get on some medication.

  44. "Carpools" and "playdates" must poll better than "a girls night out", "a manicure" and "a pedicure" things MO  talked about the last time she talked (to Oprah) about the military and how we can help them. She went on, "Everywhere I went there were stories that were completely unfamiliar (whatever that means) and those were the stories of military women.. their stories took my breath away."
    Then instead of giving at least one example of such a story, MO went on to talk about...you guessed it: herself, "..I vowed then that if my husband had the honor of serving our country that I would be that voice..." and that whenever she feels sorry for herself she thinks of their sacrifice and "...I suck it up because of these families."

  48. The coarse texture, sort of rusty color, and odd "styling" of late reveals that she is giving her own mangled hair another chance.  And is mangling it anew.  That doesn't mean there's not a rat or mat or weave or whatever underneath it to give it a little support (for those updos), but the stuff that starts with the Brillo at the edge of her forehead is hers.  IMNSHO.

    According to the electoral map that Gallup released recently.  Only the states in the dark green (the East coast states, CA, WA, IL and HI) does BO have above an average rating, everywhere else he is average(which is 47%) or below average.  And if the election were held today BO would be blown out of the water.  So I'd rather dwell on this and hope and pray that the people wake up before 2012:

  64. The weird thing is that if they had made the pale green states a bright, angry red, and turned the dark green states black - they would have made an accurate picture. This colored map is totally manipulated, and not to be trusted, either: green means money, insinuating the economy, and varying the shades seems to portray that they just aren't decided, or maybe too busy to poll. A lot of people I know are spitting mad. Some have voter regret, and many won't even speak the Won's name. I think 2012 is going to be a big surprise to the Mother-Land-Fucker in chief.

Why do they feel the need to lighten MO's complexion?  Notice for instance how much lighter Dr Jill's dress appears in picture 2 in comparison to picture 1.  Even the red stripes of the flag in picture 2  appear to be an orangey red.  Contrast it to its actual color as seen in the corner of  picture 3. 
    It is just a pet peeve; but it does bother me that MO, as a Black woman, does not find it objectionable.  Unfortunately it also makes Jill look even more like a washed up, I mean, washed out blond.

  68. Gran, THAT was beauti-mous!

    You must have been editing with a hammer, as you definitely hit the nail on the head!

    This presumptuous (notice I did not write 'sumptuous!') bee-yotch, who lives in her own fantasyland, has no degree in nutrition, has not been a practicing lawyer for almost 17 years, and most certainly is not the kind of 'mother' even the loneliest of child would be looking for.

    She is anathema...and an evil Alinskyite, who inhabits a world of 'sicko-phants' (A$$-kissers), apparently, who seem to think if she shows up in a 1950s 'house dress', more people will believe her.

    My years in video production taught me many things, one of which is: frames and fields.  The video signal is split somehow; you must make the edit on the FRAME, not on the field.

    I seem to have found a field, however; and it's a lucky find, indeed.  As MOTUS shows us, the back of MOO's top is PURPLE.  Jilly is also wearing PURPLE.

    This is their tribute to SEIU, in spite of the fact they were speaking about families of the military.

    In one 'field', I discovered that which you see below:

    Bill the Cat has returned to express his feelings.  Whether they refer to SEIU or the house dress, I cannot discern.

  70. How about the Motown show for kids when she was saying essentially, "You ahve the wonderful example of the musicians, me, Buh-ROCK before you, but we see you in us and you see us in you." She is the least accomplished person on the stage, even less than Buh-ROCK, but she thinks that just walking around in an expensive dress and being an AfAm with AFFAct degrees makes her a living goddess of inspiration.

  72. …So we’re excited.  We’re going to gear up.  We’re going to be working hard.  We’re going to (be) on the road.  We’re going to make this fun and exciting.  We’re going to pull in businesses and entertainment and sports, and we’re going to pull in all sectors to get behind this effort.

    This is about their "appreciate the military effort?" More trips for MoochMO, doubtless to military bases with four-star hotels and dancing sites nearby. "Fun and exciting" -- isn't that about what MoochMO demands from life every day? And what is this businesses and entertainment and sports crap --is she going to out-do Bob Hope with the appearances, what are businesses going to do?

    Everything for her is about some effort that brings all sorts of people together with her as the spearhead, getting the most attention, being the leader, and sporting some costly effort. It's all a partay and a vaycay. God forbid she stay at home and do something heartfelt, small and sincere for military people. No, she needs to go on the road! To chat up businesses, etc., and get them involved in the fun and excitement.

    Does she realize that many military families deal with their loved ones being in danger, having been killed, or permanently harmed by battle. Do these people really need MoochMO popping in a la Oprah with the Fun and Excitementmobile?

  75. Love the *thud*, cat!

    Of late, I have become quite concerned re: the SANITY of MOO and BOO-WHO?.

    One would think, when one feels 'down' in a different city (as does MOO), one would want to 'go back home'?  BUTT--neither of them has been here since last Memorial Day.

    It's interesting to note that the OOOs acquired this 'mansion' with the help of Tony Rezko, the cheesy Syrian Chicago thug who is 'under the care of' the Illinois penal system. (Rezko was also a great friend of Chicago's newly-elected mayor--"Ballerino" Rahm Emanuel).

    I must say, the 'black helicopters' have been flying less frequently since Axelrod and Emanuel are back in Chicago.  BUTT, I did catch Rahm at the Motown thing last week.

    MOO is not even 'sneaking' back here to Chicago, to enjoy what must be a beautiful house in Hyde Park.  I feel she rarely thinks of it, if at all.

    Remember, cat:  this is a 'thang' with too much time on her hands and too many serviles kissing up to her.  She has always felt 'entitled'...and I cannot wait for the downfall of this administration (which, of course, will be of its own doing--though they would NEVER admit it!).

    It seems they have both become insanely obsessed with power and money...that lovely combo which tends to get people killed (literally or figuratively).

  83. I remember when MoochMO first hit the White House she said that she wanted to do something other than "hug military families," which wasn't important to her at that time. I don't know what has changed except perhaps she and BO have realized that military families can be counted upon to be polite around the Obamas bec he is their Commander in Chief.

    MO IS AN I-D-I-O-T  P-O-S-E-U-R.......There is no hope for her or him or them!  She has not ONE SINGLE idea of what our military families do.  Her term of 'sacrificing 'TO' " (as to a heathen idol, which she equates with the U.S.of A.) is completely wrong. She SHOULD say, "sacrificing FOR...family, country, freedom..liberty...justice...etc...."  Her lack of knowledge, education and intelligence never ceases to amaze me; nevermind her total lack of ANY class or graciousness at all.........I have to shut up before my eyes start to shoot blood.  >:o

  87. Here is the official WH video of this joint star turn.  Turn the sound off and watch Moo as Jill Biden speaks.  Note that she twiddles her thumbs throughout.  Stonily stares, sometimes up and down, and then does the smug little closed mouth smirk from time to time. 

    You're right - she doesn't realize how bad she looks, the effects she exudes - and that the camera picks it all up.

    "Known as nasolabial folds, these unlikeable lines result when fat is lost from the area around the mouth. With age comes changes in facial fat, and this loss of volume results in nasolabial folds. <img></img>
    How your doctor can treat it: Hylauronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are best for filling in these lines.
    How you can treat it at home: The next best thing to injectables that doesn’t require the use of a needle is a topical product that claims to add volume."

  97. MOTUS, I have been a "lurker" on your blog for awhile.  This is my first post.  Poor MOO, we have to feel for her daily sacrifices on our behalf.  Tomorrow, she will be sacrificing anew -- it seems that Big Guy is handing out awards to "20 titans of creativity" at Big White.  So MOO must be girding her loins to sacrifice once again.  Unfortunately, one of the awardees, Meryl Streep (who also happens to be Big Guy's favorite actress) won't be there.  She's in London on location, interpreting the life of that crazy Tory woman, Margaret Thatcher.

  114. PF, I feel for you and can relate.  MO & BO talking about the military and pretending to care, got to me too.  Because to them it is all a sham, a joke.  Didn't they both famously sit at a church for decades listening to a guy (who BTW has visited Qaddafi in Libya along with Farakhan) who said 9/11 was "chickens coming home to roast"
    So as fellow-snarkers we need to stick together and not let those two get us down.  And not waste any of our emotional energy (because hatred hurts youself more than anyone else) on them.  But allow it to find outlets in family, service or activism.
    Today to cleanse myself from sickening and icky hypocrisy and self-centeredness of MO I re-read the story of Derek Wyatt, a 25 year old marine who made the ultimate sacrifice, that I had read about a month ago.  It is poignant, bitter-sweet, sad but heartwarming.  He gave his life fighting for our freedoms in Afghanistan 24 hours before his wife gave to their firstborn son:

    (Wyatt is the third marine featured in the above article/link)

    Neither MO or BO (our supposed C-in-C) would ever know what sacrifice like this means.

  115. As I note her on my blog labels:

    "Michelle Obama is Insignificant"

    Why do I feel this ay about her, you may ask?

    Because she was never even 'a twinkle in her Daddy's lap' in 1964, and I was about to graduate from a private parochial high school, where I received an extremely excellent education!

    And also because I have experienced many things in my life she never could have...not because I am Caucasian, but because I WORKED MY A$$ OFF TO GET AHEAD IN THIS SEEMINGLY GOD-FORSAKEN WORLD where men control the unions.

    I paid extreme dues (5%) to IATSE when I worked "The Blues Brothers" in 1979.  A couple years later, when I had worked (as a man beside men) hard, and asked for a 'card', I was offered the equivalent of FOOD SERVICE!

    Those who may think they knew me back then, in Milwaukee, Local 18, could not understand quite how hard this was...after heading crews, and hauling cable, and unloading trucks for hours and hours...I didn't make it anywhere near becoming 'one of the guys'--and after covering their butts for over six years, I gave up on the union (though my younger male business partner eventually became Vice Prez...how's that for 'ironing', huh?).

  117. Well, Jules, I'm not certain quite how to respond.

    Digital cameras, set on Autofocus, tend to respond erratically.  Unless one sets the 'WHITE' balance for the situation, one is merely doing 'point and shoot' (which seems to be what we see everyday, from the so-called 'photographers' of national newspapers (and 'videographers' of national news chains).

    Somehow, I feel MOO does not have a need to see photos of herself, because she considers herself 'BEAUTIFUL'.

    The papers and online news orgs will do as they please (after all, they're the MSM, right?)...and make her to be something she can never, ever be.

    I must say:  I am a Photoshop (TM) artist, and I would never 'lighten' her, as others do, to make her almost as light as Barky.

    She is BLACK, and though we thought she might be 'proud' of that, she is merely trying to be June Cleaver, the Beav's mom...but that's another story, which takes us back to the days of a HUGE Communist threat...or? =-O :( =-O

    MOO has this idea she 'has to play the role', but underneath, you can see she does not care...for Jill Biden or the entire topic of military families.

    MOO will always be 'clueless', because she was brought up in a Democrat household which enhanced the ideas of socialism...and  then she hooked up with Barky...and the whole Alinsky ideology.

    I will make a forecast here:  their two children will eventually turn against them, as the real truths about both Obamas appear.

  137. I took your advice, Anonymouse, and watched Mitchell during Jill's talk, with the sound off. Mitchell is fascinating to watch because she really has no self-control.

    Her face becomes angrier and angrier as Jill speaks and eventually one sees the frown line appear. Uh oh, Jill, make those speeches shorter in future.

    Also, I imitated with my hands and thumbs what Mitchell was doing with hers. Her thumbs were in constant motion. That's what one does when you really are bored stiff or fed up and you are feeling you can't take it one more minute. And she started doing it as soon as Jill started talking!

    Finally, I wondered why governors, who, you know, have jobs and administrations and pretty important things to do, needed to spend any time at all listening to these two spouses who, you know, have no jobs, or administrations, or anything at all important to do.

    Are Jill and Mitchell being touted now as experts to give American governors information about the American people that they otherwise would not have?

  142. Watched, with sound on. Am becoming a masochist. Must get help.

    1) mA0 is clearly unhappy/bored and all the other emotions noted above. Fidget. Scowl. Smirk. Repeat. Notice that she can only do one of those things at a time. WTF-Barry has not shown her how he multi-tasks. Actually, he hasn't shown anyone how he multi-tasks, he just tells us that he does. Like everything else, we are expected to believe him.

    2) when mA0 starts talking, she "umm"s and "uhh"s more in the first 30 seconds than Dr. Jill does in her entire 5 minutes. The entire reading lacks sincerity or feeling. This is not a college graduate performance. mA0 obviously was passed by her profs who did not want to be labeled racist for telling her the truth.

    3) Generally, I don't find Dr. Jill nearly so offensive as mA0, except in her choice of husband. Maybe she was dropped on her head during cheerleading practice?

    4) while Dr. Jill looks at her notes occasionally, mA0 looks at her notes almost constantly. She must think she is such a superstar that she does not have to read through her speech before delivering it live. mA0 obviously saw her speech for the first time as she read it. Just like her alleged husband does as he reads TOTUS, otherwise he wouldn't get hung up and stumble if the power supply burps.

    5) IMHO mA0's outfit (hard to identify it as "clothing"), was probably meant for garden work. Or something. Hideous.

Meryl, I'm sure, would good an adequate job; (I happen to think that she is a little overrated and would have preferred to see an British actress play the role) but what I am concerned about is that the filmmakers might inject their politics (as thy often do) into the project and do a hacket job of the life of the Iron Lady.

  159. That's exactly what it looks like.

  160. m0 and b0 also would not know the sacrifice that Derek Wyatt's family and loved ones have made because if there is no photo op for them, there is no interest from them.

    Jules, I like your ideas about us sticking together (together we stand). I admit to often being depressed over the triumphs of the Iw0ns and what often seems to be the overwhelming tidal waves of socialist and U-thug propaganda and actions. It's like the death of 1,000 cuts and I don't think our side does enough to respond, to give back that same feeling to them. And we have to put up with the squishies on our side. I'm worried that 0bama and his U-thug buddies are going to promote violence this summer, then turn it around and claim they were being "civil" which is, as we know, a w0n-way street.

    So how about some good victory stories on our side? Let's get some good news going, and since we know we are monitored by the daily cuss and the huffy-poes, we can give them some indigestion for a change. Maybe even make some heads explode over there. See? I feel better already!

  161. I'm no particular fan of blonde ex-cheerleaders, but Mrs. Biden is a nice-looking woman who dresses well. Certainly her appearance is no national embarrasment.

  162. I knew they had not been back "home" to Chicgao in a long time but didn't know it had been that long.

    They are the only Presidential couple within my memory who never or very very seldom go back to their previous residence. Well, maybe the Clintons; I'm not sure that they even had a primary residence.

    It seems especially odd given that they have children. You would think they would want to visit "home" much more often, to help keep their chlidren grounded.
