Since 1960, real per capita income has increased 143 percent, life expectancy has increased by seven years, infant mortality has declined 74 percent, deaths from heart disease have been halved, childhood leukemia has stopped being a death sentence, depression has become a treatable disease, air and water pollution have been drastically reduced, the number of women earning a bachelor's degree has more than doubled, the rate of homeownership has increased 10.2 percent, the size of the average American home has doubled, the percentage of homes with air conditioning has risen from 12 to 77, the portion of Americans who own shares of stock has quintupled. Has Michelle Obama perhaps missed some pertinent developments in this country that she calls 'just downright mean'?

  1. She again has proved that they are out of touch with the American people. Just as Hussein is when it comes to social issues with his support of homo marriage...


  2. Democrats run on despair.

    They brainwash the idiot masses into believing America sucks.They fool people into believing they have it so bad and their only hope is to elect a democrat..

  3. She's still not proud of her country.

  4. The loss of manufacturing jobs overseas.  The inflation of the price of cars, large appliances, etc.  Adjusted for inflation these things cost more than they did during the 1960s.   The dramatic inflation of child care and health care costs.  A stagnant minimum wage.

  5. shes anti American  

  6. Remember, she isn't proud of her country.

    Another Statistic: Sailboat-owning elitist democrats have dropped 50%, Old Teddy and Kerry are the only ones left.
