Michelle Obama: We Have To Channel Our Passions Into Change
First Lady Michelle Obama threw her hat into the health care reform debate Friday, calling the current state of health care “unacceptable” and describing the President’s reform proposal as “reasonable.”
“No longer can we sit by and watch the debate take on a life of it own,” the First Lady said during an event put on by the White House Council on Women and Girls in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. “We have to channel our passions into change.” (0:20)

I heard her speech in which she talks about "change" and how hard it is sometimes to accept change; how they talked about "change" throughout the campaign. I don't care what this far-left liberal says. Yea, they used the word "change" but NEVER told the American people what that change meant. They never said they wanted to change us from a free, democratic, capitalistic country. They never said they wanted to effectuate social engineering to change our country so that everyone is poor, not just the consituents in Obama's Senate district. She and her husband have a very narrow focus, and folks, as you might be seeing now, it is not to those they claim to help. They see everything through a prism of race and "fairness" so that they are going to take from those who have and punish them, to give to those they feel have gone without for years.
Sorry, Michelle, that isn't the kind of change most people expected, and they are going to send that message loud and clear at the next elections - especially in 2012 to boot out your socialist husband.
Oh, and Michelle - maybe those constituents in O's district needed people to tell them what they needed and needed someone to take care of them and tell them what is best for them. I and many others, so don't you dare use your condescending, arrogant tone to tell us what we need. The majority of our country is not ACORN.
