First lady Michelle Obama in her first joint campaign appearance with Hillary Clinton began on a personal note.
On the 12th (to last) day of Election
Season, our true love gave to us: First Lady Michelle Obama and Hillary
Clinton teaming up for their first campaign appearance, in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “Let’s be real,” said Clinton in her
speech. “As our first African-American First Lady, she’s faced pressures
I never did.”
Much of Clinton’s speech
today, during an early-voting rally at Wake Forest University, served
as an ode to FLOTUS and her contributions to the country and to
Clinton’s campaign. Being First Lady isn’t easy, but Michelle Obama made
it look good. “It doesn’t get any better than being here with our most
amazing First Lady,” Clinton told the crowd. “She has spent eight years
as our First Lady advocating for girls around the world to go to school
and have the same opportunities as boys.”
While giving the crowd a rundown of
what’s “at stake” in this election (women’s rights, student debt, basic
human decency), Clinton rightfully fawned over FLOTUS, crediting Obama
for, among other things, her health initiatives, her consistent poise as
First Lady and her dancing.
Clinton continued to pile on the praise
as FLOTUS sat on stage behind her. “She has shown every little girl in
boy in America that there are no limits to what they can achieve if they
work hard and do right and believe in themselves,” said Clinton.
“Seriously, is there anyone more inspiring than Michelle Obama?”
(NOPE!!!!!!!!). Clinton added, “She has exceeded our expectations in
terms of how many events she has been able to do, willing to do. Her
team keeps surprising us with additional availability and we can’t, from
our vantage point, we can’t get her out there enough. She’s been an
absolute rock star.”
Once Obama took the stage, she first
addressed those who’ve remarked on her visibility on the campaign trail.
“I know that there are some folks out there who’ve commented that it’s
been unprecedented for a sitting First Lady to be out actively engaged
in a presidential campaign,” she said. “And that may be true, but what’s
also true is that this is truly an unprecedented election and that’s
why I’m out here.”
Obama went on to trash screaming
monkfish Donald Trump and his crusade against the non-white man
population, and, of course, noted Clinton’s deep resumé. “We have never
had a more qualified and prepared candidate for president than our
friend Hillary Clinton,” said FLOTUS. “So yes, she is absolutely ready
to be Commander-in-Chief on day one. And yes, she happens to be a
woman.”
