Former first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance Sunday during the Grammys, eliciting thunderous applause from the crowd.
Obama took the stage with Lady Gaga, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez and Alicia Keys.
“From the Motown records I wore out on the South Side…” Obama started to say, before her words were lost amid the raucous cheering from the crowd.
Obama paused to let the cheering die out, finally chuckling and saying, “All right you all, all right, we got a show to do.”
“From the Motown records I wore out on the South Side, to the ‘Who Run The World’ songs that fueled me through this last decade, music has always helped me tell my story. And I know that’s true for everybody here,” Obama said. “Whether we like country, or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves: our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in.”
“Music shows us that all of it matters, every story within every voice, every note within every song; is that right ladies?” Obama added, looking around at the female artists flanking her.
Watch here:
Well, thank the sweet plastic neon Baby Jesus she at least wore a long-sleeved gown to cover up those damned bare arms! It is unpatriotic and un-Christian and Aunt-Pittypat-smelling-salts-worthy for the wife of a Kenyan Socialist Muslim Usurper to be flashing her guns on national television!
And you would think, In the interest of fairness, that CBS would give equal time to lovely and talented RW conservative (and supposed black person, I hear) heroine Candace Owens to give a shoutout to her favorite classic rapper, Grandmaster Adolf.
Oh how I miss the Obamas.
Smoke.
Sigh. Just before watching Grammys, I was cleaning out a dresser and found my saved NYT headlined just “OBAMA” when he won his first term.
It’s a colder world.
As do all sane people on the planet
