White House Whitewashes First Lady’s Angry Temper Tantrum
Posted by Jammie on Jun 05, 2013 at 7:01 am
Geez, the entire planet already knows about this childish outburst, so do they actually think nobody would notice this?
Good grief.
The official White House transcript of the first lady’s remarks did not include the portion of the event during which Obama threatened to leave, it did include the protester’s remarks.
The official transcript reads:
So here’s the thing — we cannot wait for the next presidential election to get fired up and ready to go. We cannot wait. Right now, today, we have an obligation to stand up for those kids. And I don’t care what you believe in, we don’t –
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
MRS. OBAMA: Wait, wait, wait. One of the things –
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
MRS. OBAMA: One of the things that I don’t do well is this. (Applause.) Do you understand? (Applause.) One of the things — now –
(Inaudible audience interruption.)
MRS. OBAMA: So let me make the point that I was making before: We are here for our kids. (Applause.) So we must recapture that passion, that same urgency and energy that we felt back in 2008 and 2012. Understand this. This is what I want you all to understand, this is not about us — no one back here. It’s not about you or you, or your issue or your thing. This is about our children. (Applause.)
Naturally they make sure to note (Applause) repeatedly. Because she’s so awesome! And hey, did you know she has toned arms? Apparently we won’t ever be seeing video of her outburst, but this appears to be part of the Obama playbook of getting in their faces.
The Washington Post’s Peter Wallsten reports that the protester who interrupted First Lady Michelle Obama Tuesday night during a fundraising speech was stunned by her response.
“She came right down in my face,” Ellen Sturtz, 56, a lesbian activist explained after the exchange with the First Lady. “I was taken aback.” |
