Barack Obama’s wife Michelle is quoted in New Yorker Magazine saying America is a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents, and we’re “just downright mean.”

Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents.
