Michelle Obama just said there won't be read meat in the speeches.

She said this in her PBS interviewed. I feel pretty doomed right now. Please someone cheer me up

4. Why are they doing that?

If tomorrow nite Biden doesn't deliver it, then I will seriously question what is going on.

[MichiganVote]

7. Because they are managing the media and the message to America.

5. Alright... how about some f***ing pork or chicken... even tofu would be something

[my3boyz]

6. Well, they might as well quit now. Obama will not win by being

above it all. You have to call the Republicans out on all their shit or the idiots will vote for them again. If you don't point out all the shitty things they did then why should the people vote for the Democratic party? If everything is just great then let's continue on. Pathetic.

[Jakes Progress]

13. No. We'll do just fine using the

Gore and Kerry model.

[Coexist]

8. we're DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!

9. AIEEEEEEEEEEE

[Minimus]

10. What is "read meat"?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Stirring hot-button stuff (positive or negative) that stirs up the party faithful

The metaphor is throwing red meat to a pack of animals, getting them all riled up.

15. Usually refers to criticizing the opponent. NT

12. Brian Schweitzer is criticizing McCain right now for his energy votes...

...against wind and solar.

[pnwmom]

14. Schweitzer is offering plenty. Don't worry.

The definition of "red meat" is probably pretty narrow, in Michelle's view.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Or maybe she was referring to her speech and her husband's speech. NT

17. I watched the interview.....that's not exactly what she meant....

she said it isn't about Red Meat. That folks eat Red Meat and realize that they still aren't full....that it's about letting them know what Obama's plan is....

Since the election is going to be about Obama, no matter how we try it not to be, that means we have to give someone people will vote for, not against.
