"It is around 1:30 A.M. in the morning of July 19th, and I just watched your six CNN moderators banter around that Donald Trump's wife copied Michelle Obama's convention speech. But they never talked about where Michelle Obama had taken her words from.
Your several moderators' uncontrolled egos and glee to attack this well accomplished woman, Melania, who did a wonderful job tonight stepping up to worldwide cameras, has overshadowed the fact that it was Michelle Obama who took those words that had already been spoken by millions of immigrants that came to America, ones who said the very same things Michelle Obama copied from the days of those who passed through Ellis Island to become American citizens.
My grandmother and grandfather, who came to America in the late 1920's, told me, their only grandson, of how great America was and that you could get to wherever you wanted by hard work and self-motivation.
I am now 74 years old and have heard those words that Michelle and Trump's wife spoke hundreds of times, if not thousands, as I went through public school in the 1950’s and then onto college, working myself up from a $4,500 annual teachers salary when around 22-years old.
Those tens-of-millions of immigrants were famous for teaching those same exact values to their children, using those same words over and over again like my grandparents did in the early 1920's. Over 80 years later Michelle Obama would copy those words spoken by brave men and women to their offspring growing up in their new country. But Michelle would do it for her husband who had been mentored by communist Frank Marshall Davis, anarchist Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers and socialist thug Saul Alinsky. So many could see her words as hollow.
My grandmother and grandfather left Sweden because of the coming socialism, bringing three boys with them, my grandmother and her sons traveling in steerage. Two of the boys died while still in public school while my father went missing off of Okinawa in 1944, my grandmother thinking her third son had been lost.
You cannot give credit to Michelle Obama for words my grandmother spoke, along with millions of other mothers and fathers who spoke them years before Michelle was even born.
I wonder now if Michelle even believed those words, her knowing the people her husband had been in contact with over the years. I also remember her whining, complaining about the cost of piano lessons to the teacher or her college debt, seeming to forget she was fortunate to even be at Harvard.
Trump's wife may have NEVER heard Michelle's speech, growing up in a Communist country. She verbalized ideas she believed from her upbringing that I heard myself when a child, staying with my grandparents off and on in what they called the servant’s housing while employed to keep up the main house estate in the 1940's located in Westchester County, New York.
Why didn't the CNN hosts not know Michelle's words were basic words said by tens and millions of immigrants for well over 100 years, looking for freedom, almost all of them never able to reach the status of Harvard.
It is as if CNN's moderators were so full of themselves they forget the values taught for freedom even by freedom fighters such as Lech Walesa, who Barack Obama doesn't even like, one who earned "a real" Nobel Peace Prize for helping free the Polish people from the Russia bear. I am sure citizens in that country have said to their children what Michelle spoke.
While my grandparents never said a word to me about blacks, there were divisions up to the 1960's in the country. But unlike fascist governments, change is allowed to find its way under America's benchmark Constitution of balancing the divisions of government. And when it becomes unbalanced, the people, as in the Civil War, the 1960's and again in tonight's convention, will raise up their voices to bring the ship of state back to center.
As for CNN, I still will never understand why its executives allowed the Snuff video to be shown around the world in October of 2006. For me it still stains anything CNN could hope to stand for today representing American freedom.
While CNN has a right to broadcast their ideology to the American people, I personally would like to see CNN's headquarters off American soil, a news outlet delighted to represent the views of progressive socialists and admitted communists. Candidate Barack Obama said his favorite Supreme Court Justice was former ACLU executive Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I would not be surprised if he found CNN one of his favorites, too - Webmaster
