Last week, FLOTUS gave a speech:

Via Daily Caller: Irony alert: Michelle bemoans money in politics, asks donors for ‘big, fat check’

Speaking at a party fundraiser in Chicago, Mrs. Obama said Democrats must triumph in the November contests if President Obama is to make progress on his agenda….

She also blasted special interest groups that funnel money to Republicans.

“So, yeah, there’s too much money in politics….

Mrs. Obama then urged fellow Democrats to add even more money to the political system.

“There is something you can do right now today to make a difference, and that is to write a big, fat check. I kid you not,” she said. “I’m going to be honest with you. That’s what we need you to do right now. We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write.”

POTUS also gave a speech:

Via Washington Examiner: Obama brags about increasing oil production — and reducing carbon emissions

President Obama in California on Thursday to talk about “economic patriotism,” walked a very fine tightrope in talking up the administration’s accomplishments.

“We’re more energy independent: The world’s no. 1 oil and gas producer is not Russia, it’s not Saudi Arabia, it’s the United States of America,” he said to widespread applause from the friendly audience.

Then he followed with this: “We’ve reduced our carbon pollution over the past eight years more than any country on earth.”

In the span of back-to-back sentences, the president took credit both for an oil boom and for a crackdown on carbon emissions….

Apparently, no one in the WH understands the meaning of irony.

    Is that the Keystone pipeline they smell?

    Yes, the U.S. is the no. 1, oil and gas, producer. Why? Because of fracking. Fracking has resulted in more oil from shale that previously we couldn’t get to. Similar for natural gas. Increased natural gas electrical plant use along with a recession reduces carbon energy use. Fracking innovation courtesy of the private sector. What does Obama want to do relative to energy? We know of Obama’s war on coal and high electricity prices, higher gasoline prices and desire to send them even higher. In addition, up to now Obama has not tried to shutdown fracking. Once 2014 elections are done, I think you’ll see some EPA findings that fracking produces too much global warming methane and/or some ozone destroying gas and/or some groundwater polluting substance and/or increased respiratory illness. There is another global warming conference coming up and I believe that Obama is going to address it. Global warmists write big fat checks.

    What a hideous necklace. Looks like winter tire chains for snow.

    Anyway they (Dems) want the money not for state representative’s
    reelections but for organizing the illegals, felons and poor to get out and vote.
    The money will go for busses, community organizers(Acorn)and ads that say
    how the GOP will stop all welfare & food stamps if they win the Senate.

    Obama is desperate now and will stop at nothing to keep Harry Reid
    as majority leader.

    Hope & change, transform, progress on agenda. Vague allusions to a better life might be good for one last cash gathering to feed the monster.

    It is frustrating how blatantly stupid and pandering the political dialogue is. It seems pointless to try to mount an intelligent discussion when idiocy is going to carry the day.

    I guess politics has always been moronic and corrupt. The modern problem is not that it’s necessarily worse, but that it’s more pervasive. That is, when the government expands its powers and sticks its fingers into every detail of your life, then every detail of your life likewise becomes moronic and corrupt. It was to prevent this from happening that we used to have a Constitution, which was designed to keep the monster in its box.

    “Apparently, no one in the WH understands the meaning of irony.”

    I see that all the time on the Left. It’s one of those frustrating things. One of the ways it comes out is, “I can do it, but you shouldn’t be allowed to do the same.” We see that in the First Lady’s comments. “There’s too much money in politics” translates to, “Those Republicans shouldn’t be getting any money. Give us lots so we can stop them.”

    Re. oil, etc.

    This is like the Obama Admin. taking credit for Iraq when it was going well: They had nothing to do with it. The reason we are the chief producers of oil (along with Canada, though I imagine they have different policies on this) is because of oil exploration on private land. The gov’t has had a moratorium on exploration on public land. Secondly, yes, we’ve reduced our carbon emissions “more than any other country on Earth,” purely through private technological innovation and free enterprise. It had nothing to do with adopting the Kyoto Protocol. In fact, we probably did it because we didn’t sign on to that thing. Look at the countries who did.

    Shorter Mooch: Do as I say, not as I…say? Wait, what??? Clearly, Mooch provides the comical entertainment for these liberal donors to stroke the fat checks.

    Speaking of the Chamber of Commerce; it has on its website a post about the Ex-Im Bank is good for Louisiana. Post mentions Repub. Rep. Boustany and then in the last para. has a quote from Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu. Scratch my establishment back.

    In write a small thin check news; Byron York of the Washington Examiner has a column on donating $5 to the Democrat Party. It’s funny (in a pathetic way) on how much begging the computerized donation process entails. He selected Donate $5 and computer asks can you give more, then can you make donation be automatic monthly, then can you add a 10% ‘tip’ to your donation. Worth a read. http://washingtonexaminer.com/gloomy-frantic-dems-plead-more-money-please/article/2552044
