Mrs. Obama: Seek out those with different beliefs

Mrs. Obama: Seek out those with different beliefs. “If you’re a Democrat, spend some time talking to a Republican… Maybe you’ll find some common ground, maybe you won’t.” Obamunists have spent the last 4 1/2 years talking to Republicans: “RAAAAACIST!” “TEA BAGGER!” “I WON!” And the most scintillating dialog: “We’re from the IRS and we’re here to audit you.” Seek out the common ground – no one will ever suspect that’s where the bodies are buried.

  • I've never had a problem talking to someone who thinks differently than I do. As long as I have my pistol loaded and close to hand.

  • There's a story: a fox and a scorpion come to a stream at the same time. The scorpion cannot swim so it asks the fox if he'll ferry him across the across the stream, but the fox resists at first telling the scorpion that it'll sting him halfway across and the fox will be poisoned, sink and drown. The scorpion says it will not sting the fox so the fox agrees to take the scorpion across and, sure enough, halfway across the stream the scorpion stings the fox and as it begins to die and sink beneath the water it cries out to the scorpion: "Why did you sting me?" and the scorpion replied: "Because it's my nature!" Now the filthy scorpions want to seek common cause with us...beware and do not forget their true nature. Satan will always be Satan!

    • Great story, great analogy. The only problem is, liberals more closely resemble and identify with cockroaches than scorpions..... And our White House is completely infested with cockroaches...

      Just sayin.....

  • Tripe. This speech was the verbal equivalent of the "coexist" and "tolerance" bumper stickers.

  • Mrs. Obama: Seek out those with different beliefs
    and berate them, persecute them, and destroy them.
