Michelle Malkin addressed a pumped-up crowd at FreedomWork’s “FreePAC” event Thursday in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center, starting by thanking the audience for taking time off from operating the businesses that they did build.

She also slammed President Obama for what she says is his inability to take accountability for his mishandling of the economy, comparing the commander-in-chief to the “Family Matters” character Steve Urkel.
“Did I do that?” she said, mocking Obama. “Yes you did.”
She was referring to this graphic when she made the comments:

“I know I‘m ’just a blogger,’” she continued. “But I am more excited, more heartened and more inspired than I’ve ever been in my adult lifetime… because it’s one thing to be out there and spread a message and be on the little TV… but it is quite another to see this virgining, beautiful movement.”
She also urged conservatives to vote big government out. “Vote them out,” she proclaimed.
Humorously, when Malkin mentioned Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.), the crowd erupted in boos.
“We don’t need more Republicans who are going to sign onto massive new expansions of the welfare state,” Malkin said. “Go find something else to do.”
Following her speech, Malkin granted TheBlaze an exclusive interview and gave her thoughts on Obama as Steve Urkel and social media. Watch it here:

Report Post »Walkabout
Posted on July 26, 2012 at 9:34pmThe person who played Erkel is a talented actor. Obama is just a talentless leftist politician.
The character Erkelwas a loveable nerd. There is nothing endearing about Obama.
This is an arduous campaign season with dire consequences. People are losing their cool.
Were compressing the 1930s into 4 years before we roll into the next general all out war. It sucks.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 7:33pmI think everyone bounces around the other networks just to see what is up. I too have watched a little of Al Sharpton. It is all I could stand. No one is surprised NBC stinks. What is surprising is the free fall of CNN. Every one of their anchors is terrible. Anderson Cooper used to be quite good but in the last 2 years – especially this year – has fallen hard.

Posted on July 26, 2012 at 7:21pmMichelle Malkin must have read my old post. Even though Obama’s standing there with a regular “long tie”, my brain creates a 3D image of a soft blue bow tie in it’s place. It‘s as if Obama’s influence on me has allowed my brain to grow a “Block-Out-With-Overlay Chip”.
So beware if you should indeed be wearing a bow tie and the chip in my biomechanical brain reveals you.
(And oh yeah, dear Michelle, I daydream about his voice coming out of the speakers sounding geeky sqeaky ALL the time. Aren’t the long “Sssssss” sounds his tongue makes annoying?” He probably thinks it’s as sharp as a weapon. Wow, that’s a tight whistle! Gimme 4 more years of that!!)

And that was just from Bloomberg, I can’t wait to hear what Dowd and Krugman write about.
Then again, the left should fear Michelle, this one has a mean streak a mile wide, and can write a coherent thought.
