It appears Michelle Obama insinuated that Gov. Sarah Palin is not "smart" in remarks she made to a fundraiser of Lesbian and Gay Activists in California. In the report below, you see that Obama spoke at the elitist gathering of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) leaders and activists and took a back-handed shot at Sarah Palin:

Dressed in a purple tank top with a purple floral skirt and black high heels, Obama first addressed a largely gay and lesbian audience at the home of Bryan Lourd, managing partner of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Bruce Bozzi, Lourd’s companion. The event was described by the Obama campaign as an “LGBT Reception.”

Approximately 300 donors attended the fund raiser, which took place in the wealthy, Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Minimum contribution for a guest was $1,000 to get through the door. Supporters who raised $25,000 were given access to a VIP room, where Obama met with them and briefly spoke. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund.

Some of the entertainment industry figures who attended the fund raiser were Kevin Huvane, managing partner of CAA, actress Kate Bosworth, actress Helen Hunt, producer Paula Weinstein, actress Salma Hayek, openly gay fashion designer Tom Ford, openly gay producer Bruce Cohen, and actress Reese Witherspoon. Former South Dakota senator Tom Daschle, who was in Los Angeles campaigning for Barack Obama, was also a guest.

Los Angeles gay community leaders who attended the event were Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran, and restaurateur David Cooley, all of whom are openly gay.

Michelle Obama arrived at the Holmby Hills home at 6:15 p.m. as guests drank red and white wine and ate tuna tartar on wonton chips and ginger chicken cakes in the backyard near a lap pool. Obama came directly from taping a segment for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

Kevin Huvane introduced Obama at 6:50 p.m. “In a city of stars,” said Huvane, “we have the biggest one right here.”

Obama then took the podium, and told the crowd how her daughters, Malia and Sasha, met the pop group the Jonas Brothers at the “Ellen” taping. The daughters were not present at either fund raiser.

Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband’s vice-presidential choice. “I think it was a really good pick—Senator Joe Biden,” she said, and later added, “People say they have amazing chemistry, and it’s true.”

Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.

Obama then spoke about the time she first went on a date with Barack and instantly saw his “specialness.” She told the crowd, “All I’ve been trying to say the past nine months is that Barack has a gift, and he’s willing to share it.”

Mindful of the audience in front of her, she then touched up gay and lesbian issues. “In a world as it should be,” Obama said, “we repeal laws like DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’” She also said an Obama Administration would “recognize” gay adoption rights. Both lines received loud applause. Another crowd pleasing line was about the Iraq war. “In a world as it should be,” Obama said, “we end this war responsibly.”

Obama then asked the audience to get involved in the campaign. “You’re going to have to share your passion,” she said. “You’re going to have to advocate.”

She ended her 20-minute speech by saying, “Not only can we have Barack Obama as the next president of the United States, but we can change the world.”

Obama then shook hands with the donors and left the site about 15 minutes later.

The Obamas want you to believe they are just average Americans who have the same values as the typical family sitting around their "kitchen table." The truth is, they are elitist snobs far more comfortable with the crowd described in this article - the smart people who eat "tuna tartar on wonton chips." The Obamas fear Sarah Palin because she is everything they are not -- humble, down-to-earth, a holder of traditonal American values, and -- smart.
