Michelle Obama disses Palin, promises gay adoption rights
hollywood
While Sarah Palin was speaking to the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, Michelle Obama was hitting two Hollywood fundraisers, giving subtly different messages to different audiences.
Patrick Range McDonald of LA Weekly, who covered the events as the designated pool reporter. Here’s his description of the first stop of the night:
Dressed in a purple tank top with a purple floral skirt and black high heels, Obama first addressed a largely gay and lesbian audience at the home of Bryan Lourd, managing partner of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Bruce Bozzi, Lourd’s companion.
The event was described by the Obama campaign as an “LGBT Reception.” Approximately 300 donors attended the fund raiser, which took place in the wealthy, Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Minimum contribution for a guest was $1,000 to get through the door. Supporters who raised $25,000 were given access to a VIP room, where Obama met with them and briefly spoke. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund.
Speaking at the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama insinuated that she doesn’t think Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is very bright:
Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband’s vice-presidential choice.
“I think it was a really good pick–Senator Joe Biden,” she said, and later added, “People say they have amazing chemistry, and it’s true.”
Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.
Later, she spoke about gay rights:
Mindful of the audience in front of her, she then touched up gay and lesbian issues. “In a world as it should be,” Obama said, “we repeal laws like DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.'” She also said an Obama Administration would “recognize” gay adoption rights. Both lines received loud applause. Later that evening she spoke at a fundraiser at the home of Samuel L. Jackson:
Located in the gated community of Beverly Park Estates South in the city of Beverly Hills, approximately 300 people attended the event. Minimum contribution for a guest was $2,300, with VIP access for supporters who raised $25,000. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund. Another star-studded crowd was on hand. Among the celebrities were actor Denzel Washington, actress and singer Barbra Streisand, actor and Streisand’s husband, James Brolin, former Lakers star Magic Johnson, actress Scarlett Johansson, actor Ryan Reynolds, and former California governor Gray Davis.
Guests gathered poolside in the backyard of Jackson’s home and drank red and white wine. Golden shallot pancakes with brie and fig preserves and grilled vegetable torte bites with roasted pepper sauce were served. Bread & Butter Catering provided the food at both fund raisers.

Both lines received loud applause.”
Even in front of a presumably gay-friendly, left-wing Hollywood audience, part of her earlier remarks were omitted from the second appearance:
Obama did not mention anything about gay issues, but much of the rest of the speech was the same.
Wild Thing’s comment………
Michelle will not learn her lesson. Here she goes again mouthing off and attacking Palin this time. Now we are supposed to do what, keep quiet and let her think she can get away with that kind of thing? I think not!
I had to look LGBT up in Google. hahaha I lived all those years in Malibu, Calif. and had no idea what LGBT was.
Not pretty YUK here is what it is…..
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender = LGBT
And they are also at Obama’s campaign website

Yeah, flap your jaw you Affirmative Action Poster Child.
She calls Sarah stupid, I hate to inform you Michelle but here it goes……..Gay adoption rights will go over like a lead balloon with 60-70% of the electorate.
“Guests gathered poolside in the backyard of Jackson’s home and drank red and white wine. Golden shallot pancakes with brie and fig preserves and grilled vegetable torte bites with roasted pepper sauce were served.”
I would still be hungry and have to go by the drive-through on the way home. heh heh I mean I have eaten like that and I can tell you it does not last long. haha
“In a world as it should be,” Obama said…
There’s that phrase again. These two are really full of themselves, aren’t they? They’d be laughable if their Marxist vision for this nation “as it should be” weren’t so chilling.
Speaking at the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama insinuated that she doesn’t think Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is very bright:
Why? Because she didn’t get an Affirmative Action pass to Princeton and Harvard Law ? Because she wasn’t promoted to a $320K/year job when her husband got elected to high office? Just how is it Mrs. Obama doesn’t think a woman who got herself elected Governor of a state isn’t very bright ?
Can you imagine the furor if Todd Palin commented about Michelle at a fundraiser?
Now that Michelle has injected herself into the Palin mix, the gloves can come off with her too. Leave family outta it, my ass, Barack.
Can’t wait to see Palin smack this b!tch down. Just get a copy of her thesis and read from it. We’ll see who ‘isn’t intelligent’ enough.
“Obama Administration would “recognize” gay adoption rights”
OK, this is something that really tiicks me off. I am adotped and if it would have been possible to ask me do you want to be adopted by two men or two women? A-hem I would have yelled out….No effing way! ….. as I came out of the womb.
I mean it, please this is soooo against all things Godly. I mean it! There is NO way Michelle and Obama are Christians NO WAY!
Why is they have to “use” famous people to get their point across? We don’t need that. And why that nasty food? I told you it would be crap on a plate with them. Bitchelle is just angry that she didn’t go the way Hurricane Sarah did because she’s an uppity wastoid who blames everybody that her job doesn’t pay her 7 figures a year, that’s all. She’s a cold fish with a heart of coal. Her honey is the same way. Makes you feel for Sasha and Malia, doesn’t it? (that even though their parents went to and graduated from Ivy league schools, they are so stupid in the ways of the world.)
WT, yes it is very offensive. I see it this way. The more they spout their communist-progressive crap, their affirmative action crap the further behind they are going to get.
As can be seen by the crowds, they love Sarah Palin for what she stands for, meaning, I think, they do not believe this gay agenda and hype that these people are in any way normal and deserve a child.
There agenda does nothing more than bequeath another generation of misfits, primed for a government hanout at our expense. The good thing is the more liberal their rhetoric becomes the more people will be turned off to it.
More liberal self righteous indignation. They are so certain they are right on everything that one cannot have a rational discussion, nevermind a debate with these people. They are right, therefore you must be stupid. They know best what’s right for you, so you should just leave your life up to their handling.
Individualism terrifies them. Opposing beliefs terrify them. The Constitution terrifies them.
Hobnobbing with the rich and famous sure sounds like the same old politics to me. I wondered if she mentioned how those people in Alaska cling to their religion and guns.
Oh well, time to pick up my bible, holster my .45 and head off to church.
The weird food is part of being an elitist. Most of America would be much happier with a Pizza Hut Thin ‘n Crispy and a Coke. I heard they had that same crap at the Dem convention. I would imagine the folks at FoxNews had something delivered.
I think the gay folks need to think about how well they would be tolerated under a totalitarian state. They don’t fare well under any other despotic leader on the globe, what makes them think BHO is different?
Keep your mouth motoring Michelle. The hateful, angry, spiteful crap you speak is worth millions of ad $$ to the McCain campaign. You only apeal to fringe elements anyway. The average, reasoning American voter is going to be nauseated listening to your hate talk. Keep talking you self serving, self righteous, racist, communist ass.
WT, I’m disappointed. What kind of informed voter are you that you didn’t know what LGBT was? However, not to worry. All that you need to know is that Michelle Obama = BITCH.
Lynn, what you said about feeling about her two daughters I agree. I was thinking about them too. They are adorable and innocent and Michelle will be teaching them her hate for the same things she hates too. I hope they grow up to know their own minds and have a better outlook then Michelle does.
Mark, yes thank you for saying that. I feel badly if this world goes more the way of the people Michelle spoke to.
I agree Mark, people in general do not want this kind of thing this post was about, there is more goodness in the world then bad. I truly believe this too.
Yankeemom, your right they really can’t have a rational discussion and everything else you said too.
BobF….good one. I agree, and they would hate all of that.
Jim, I LOVE thin crust how did you know. yessss yummy I would much prefer that.
I agree, “the weird food is part of being an elitist”. I have been to a lot of events that had that stuff and I always ate before or afterward real food. hahaaa
Tom, I agree the people she is trying to be liked by and get funds from are the fringe element.
Les, LOL hahahahahahaaha
good one Les, I try to keep up I really do. I just learned last year what Emily’s List was about. It is a horrible thing.
(the following I saw on the web! – Jerry)
OBAMA SUPPORTS PUBLIC DEPRAVITY
(and supports the “rights” of little children to view it!)
Google “Zombietime” and click on “Up Your Alley Fair.” After recovering from the uncensored photos, Yahoo “God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up” on “ucmpage” (even Jesus told Judas to hurry up – John 13:27). Also Yahoo “Dangerous Radicals of the Religious Right.” See all of this before the Creator responds with quakes, hurricanes, etc. The fast-moving agenda of Gaydom is to sneak its depravity on to every Main Street on earth while decent folks stay asleep and do nothing! PS – A new pro-life slogan says: “Unborn babies should have the right to keep and bear arms – and legs and ears and eyes, etc.!”
(Obama and his porn-protecting collaborators, Pelosi and Newsom, did NOT approve of this message.)
