    Speaking at campaign rally in New Hampshire for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Obama called the comments “shocking and demeaning.” She also dismissed suggestion that they were simply “locker room talk,” saying they were affront to all women, parents and every citizen in United States.

    “I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken to me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted,” the first lady said. “So while I would love nothing more than pretend that this isn’t happening and come out here and do my normal campaign speech, it would be dishonest and disingenuous to just move onto the next thing like this was all a bad dream. This is not something we can ignore.”

    Obama said the comments made by Trump are part of a long history of demeaning women.

    “We have a candidate for president of the United States who over the course of his lifetime, over the course of this campaign, has said things about women that are shocking, so demeaning,” she said. “I simply will not repeat anything here today. Last week, we actually saw this candidate bragging about sexually assaulting women. I can’t believe I’m saying that, a candidate for president of the United States bragged about sexually assaulting women.”

    Obama went onto say that this was not something that should be dismissed, adding that women were hearing these comments and recollecting painful memories of when they were harassed in their offices or sexually assaulted.

    The GOP nominee has lost support in New Hampshire following the release of a 2005 video in which Trump is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to “do anything” to women. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said over the weekend that she no longer plans to vote for him.

    Totally Inapropiate report for this site. Of the editorial features the geonim as rav Kneivsky or Rav Shteineman i find it grossly inapropiate to post the gross news in such graphic terms. Whats the difrrence between the secular sites? You shld be held to a higher standard. Disturbing.

    It’s puzzling that she’s so upset by words. Yet she’s got no problem with allowing a predator like Bill Clinton back into the White House, after he shamed the office of the presidency (literally) with MonicaIN THE OVAL OFFICE! These democrats are the biggest hypocrites and liars!

    First, this from the self serving woman who “wasn’t proud of America” until her husband became president.
    Obama received an endorsement from Ted Kennedy who assaulted a waitress. Michele and Barak had no problem taking this endorsement when it suited their political paths.
    Bad people do bad things and then other bad people cover up for them.
    This “speech” by Michelle is just self serving verbiage.

    Amazing.
    We are all concened about what Trump SAID,
    While what the clintons DID in the moral arena gets a free pass. (After women complained about what BILL DID, Hillary destroyed their reputations.
    And then is on tape laughing that she destroyed the case of the 12 year old girl who was attacked and violated.
