Michelle Obama’s uplifting, poised speech to the Democratic convention Monday night was terrific, and should silence GOP critics still trying to paint her as an America-hating radical.
Instead, she came off as an all-American Horatio Alger story, someone who rose from a working-class background on the south side of Chicago to the pinnacle of success by adherence to old-fashioned values of hard work and faith and family. It’s a story even Obama’s conservative opponents should admire.
She helped show the human side of Barack, too, with a touching account of how he drove her and their newborn daughter home from the hospital, nervously moving along at a snail’s pace and looking in the rearview mirror. And the Obama kids were adorable when they took the stage.
What’s not to like about this family? The Republicans will have a hard time making Michelle Obama a liability after Monday night, or calling the Obamas “elitists.”

No, but that won’t stop Paul from trying in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Oh to be so blind as to think one speech would somehow make it all go away. Political speechs and advertisments are just marketing of another product.
It’s all about what they are selling, not about the truth. Think of that old commercial of the boys around a campfire drinking beer. “It doesn’t get any better than this!” It’s not about giving you some top of the world life experience, it’s about selling you beer.
Similarly, this speech is not designed to tell you anything about Ms. Obama. It’s about telling you they want you to think about her. All politicians do it.
What is sad is how an experienced editorial writer buys it so readily.
Waiting for the attacks on her numerous usage of the expression ’see’.
Michelle demonstrated We are Not Black America, We are Not White America, We are just America.’
Good speech.
Good, BECAUSE it was completely phoney.
Michelle Obama tells students to “reject middle classness” and to reject “corporate American” and to work for non profits.
Michelle Obama made nearly $300,000.00 per year at a non profit organization. I do not think most “not for profit” jobs pay that much.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2007-05-10-michelle-obama_N.htm
Michelle Obama is also friends with terrorists, including Weather Underground members Bill Ayers and Bernadett Dohrn. Michelle went to Ayers home, with Barrack, for strategy meetings when Obama launced his political career.
Terrorist Bill Ayers later became Barrack Obama’s boss, at another “non-profit” foundation. That foundation gave grant money to terrorist groups.
Feel fre to use it DNC.
Thought you all were whining that 300 k would hardly be rich?
LoudMan,
Mrs. Obama had a mountain to climb last night because of an ill-advised choice of words she made months ago. She climbed it.
How anyone can say anything evil about her after last night… well, it’s going to be a little bit harder, but that is the cross every Democratic First Lady has had to bear (with the exceptions of Bess Truman and Jackie Kennedy, the latter because it all ended too soon).
With the possible exception of Nancy Reagan, how come nobody ever attacks Republican First Ladies?
Thank you, Paulie LaRouche.
When do we get the connections to Queen Elizabeth?
Oh, by the way, Paul…
“Here’s the facts: Ayers was in a radical group back in the 60s when Barack Obama was 8 or 9. Barack Obama has already denounced the long-past activities of this guy, and John McCain and his paid henchmen know it. And the central contention of the ad has been discredited for months, called “phony” by Barack Obama’s hometown paper.”

I think you called it correctly, Mr. C.
You play a mean game of cow patty bingo. You not only called the time, but the square upon which the cow patty would land!
Paulie, what are you reporting back to your masters regarding how well the “obama is a bomb throwing radical” meme is working?
If that’s the best you got…
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH!
I guess that meme is working about as well as the “obama recently emerged from the jungle with a bone in his nose and a Koran in his hand” meme.
Sucks to be you guys…
Farmgrrl,
ROFLOL!!!!
mrcontroversy,
I stand by the statement that political campaigns are nothing more than marketing campaigns. To suppose that she had a hill to climb is to acknowledge that she said something wrong that hurt the campaign. So if basically her ’sales filter’ failed then you have to ask yourself which is the real Ms. Obama?
I contend that we will not even have a clue unless he is elected and she drops all need to be in marketing.
Hee hee heeeee Mr. C!
Sometimes this blog is just more fun than a barrel of cheese eating surrender monkeys…
So, the unique selling point John McCain has is that Barack Obama is too popular with people who have not yet fossilized?
MC- Good one!
I have a vision of paulie reporting back to his republican masters, much like Igor, (or EYEgor if you like Young Frankenstein)
“Thir, they respond to our best efforts with gales of laughter”
and his masters must respond
“eeeeeeeeexcellent! Then we will disable them with uncontrollable laughter so they can not get to the polls”.
Oh that toon character is here too, what’s gthe matter Franky no Rush the Drug lush programs today?
No hatred anonymous club meetings today either.
Go play with Lucy or is she watching or listening to all your rant & ravers you help pay to lie to you and anyone who listens to their spews of hatred !!

Election 2008
Incompetence Vs Incontinence
Off the subject, but what the hell ever. Blogs are an ode to randomness, anyway. Cindy McCain scares me. She looks like the Crypt Keeper and a Barbie mated or like she somehow managed to recover from progeria. Her face is so plastic and expressionless. *shudders*
By the way, John McCain is a good guy… if you’re into surly grandfather types.
Bill Ayers HIRED Barrack Obama, making Obama the CHAIRMAN of one of the Ayer’s Controlled “charity” boards.
The New York Times ran an article of Bill Ayers, when he was promoting his own book, “Fugitive Days” and standing on an American Flag.
Many copies of that article were destroyed on 9-11-01, that is when the Ayers story appeared.
Farmgirl
For several years, BJ/JR has claimed that I am a paid troll—
I do apologize for feeding his paranoid fantasies, but it is fun.
Sounds like he’s been back to the masters and been given new “tactics.” Probably isn’t the first paid Republican shill to give himself away and they had it in the playbook.
“Andrew McCarthy has highlighted these ties in “The Company He Keeps: Meet Obama’s Circle: The Same Old America Left.”
Obama also was involved in pro-Palestinian activities — an involvement he has tried to obscure as he sought support from American Jews when he began his Senate and Presidential campaigns. He attended pro-Palestinian events where anti-Israel invective was par for the course. He served on the board of Directors of the Woods Foundation — which gave grants to pro-Palestinian groups and helped sponsor propaganda events for the Palestinian cause. These events featured anti-Israel agitprop as a central focus.
He served on the board of the this foundation with William Ayers, a leader of the Weather Underground, a group that in the late 1960s carried out domestic terrorism against American targets such as police stations, the Pentagon, and other symbols of the establishment. Ayers lives in the same Hyde Park neighborhood as the Obamas and contributed to his Senate campaign.
Obama tried to dismiss the nature and duration of his relationship with Ayres during the debate with Hillary Clinton this week, but she brought him up short when she revealed the shared Woods Board membership.
Ayers notoriously expressed no regret for the domestic terrorism his group inflicted against America. He told a New York Times book reviewer, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” The article appeared on the morning of September 11. 2001.”

Gee whiz! I’ve seen it all now; the hard-nosed capitalists putting down marketing? Maybe it is the end of the world!

Quit running nuts and loons and Democrats might win.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are liberal, but both Bill and Hillary understand what it takes to win.
Those of you who defend these nut case groups are actually hurting your own party.
Barrack Obama was employed by Bill Ayers. Both Michelle and Barrack were friends with Ayers and Dohrn.
The “charity” that Ayers and B. Obama worked for gave money to radical organizations.
Get mad at the stupidity of your party for nominating such a person, not at me.
Pall,
Weather underground? Ancient history- they all put on Armani suits and ties and became Reagan neo-cons back in the ’70’s!
From truthfightsback.com:
Barack Obama lived in the same area of Chicago as Ayers, and Ayers has been a politically active member of that community for years. Considering that, it’s actually remarkable how little the two have to do with each other. Early in Barack Obama’s career, he attended one reception in his honor at Ayers’s house. They also were separately asked by a charitable organization to serve on that organization’s board. And that’s it. There’s no friendship between the two, no relationship, no history of working together. This whole manufactured issue was already hashed over in the primary, but the Republicans, desperate to change the subject from the state of the United States and the unpopularity of their policies, are trying to revive this discredited attack once again. A shady Republican front group even ran ads trying to tie the 60s-era activities of Ayers to Al Qaeda today.
Paul’s life story:
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Sorry, shill. America ain’t buying this time. But maybe Kansas will.
It was a good speech and did what it was supposed to do – be inspirational and motivate.
With that said, reality outside of speeches in politics do occur.
Once political hats are put on, the inspirational speeches go by the way side and influence peddling takes place.
We all know it happens, so no sense in denying the truth.
As I stated last night, the speech was enjoyable and did serve its intended purpose.
But let’s not be blinded from the facts at hand, by the flashlight in our eyes please. :)
Further clarification:
“Barack Obama has very little connection to William Ayers. Barack Obama served on the board of a non-profit in Chicago. This non-profit also asked Ayers, now a professor at the University of Chicago, to serve on the board. Obama had nothing to do with his inclusion on the board. Very early in his career, Barack Obama attended one event at Ayer’s house, organized for Obama. This was over a decade ago.”
Chicago Annenberg Challenge
Michelle will never take the place of Hillary in our hearts. And if that is what she is trying to do- it makes me angrier. Why does this woman- who supposedly stands for all the same things- disrespect so forcefully a woman that so many other women admire?
I honestly don’t know what to do over the whole deal. I’m spitting mad still over it.
i’ve been listening to all those Obama supporters telling us to stop with the sour grapes, but I know full well if Hillary had won and then disrespected the Obamas this way- that they would be just as angry- and they’d have a right to be.
I’m angry at my own party- furious for this division- you have supported someone who is trying to splinter the base of this party. Thanks a lot.
Gallup Daily: No Bounce for Obama in Post-Biden Tracking
McCain creeps ahead, 46% to 44%
http://www.gallup.com/poll/109834/Gallup-Daily-Bounce-Obama-Post-Biden-Tracking.aspx
Ah-oh, what’s going on….think folks see through the “CHANGE”?
P-mom,
I want to understand you… but I don’t.
How did Michelle Obama disrespect Hillary Clinton last night?
I supported Hillary from the point my candidate left the race. Like you, I was a delegate for Hillary.
I have been involved in enough campaigns to know that things said in the heat of battle are not always meant. We will see this from Bill and Hillary over the next two nights. We saw it from Michelle last night.
This is Barack Obama’s fight now. I will side him.
I urge you to do the same.
Heckler
EXACTLY
Ayers gave Obama his job, on the Chicago Annenberg Foundation.
Also, how did the radical Ayers get on these boards in the first place? Simple, Ayers had wealthy parents. Ayers CONTROLLED the board, and Obama would not have been asked to be on the Board, without the direct involvement of Ayers.
Also, Ayers EMPLOYED Obama, as CEO of the Chicago Annenberg Foundation.
Obama was an EMPLOYEE of Ayers, when Ayers stood on an American Flag to promote Ayers’ book.
Lets see, the ANNOUNCEMENT of Biden, as the running mate, went out at 3 AM, over text messages???
And that was not a slam against Hillary?
Obama would not be the “First Black President” — not at all, we have had 5 previous Presidents with African Heritage:
http://www.computerhealth.org/ebook/5blkpres.htm
Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Hardage and Coolidge all have some African ancestry.
The above post was written by a Black doctor, as one argument against the racist idea of the “Bell Curve” — His thesis is that America is such a “melting pot” that measuring intelligence between races, in America is a stupid exercise to begin with, since no racial line is “pure”.
Obama would be the first President that we all KNEW was Black, before he got elected, if he actually wins.
Barry looks down his nose at the Clinton’s…the arrogance…I wonder if Barry knows the consequences of dishonoring the Clinton’s?
As everyone (except you) knows, Paul, the announcement was at 1:38 am–the time I got my text message–because the selection had already been leaked to CBS and NBC and MSNBC had gone live with it at 1 AM.
mr
Whatever, but you might want to look at this picture:
http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/08/23/the-3am-text/
So?
Maybe someone forwarded it to them.
I got mine at 1:38.
Sorry my friends at Fox were out of the loop.
Bill Clinton is doing his part (for the Republicans):
The former president, speaking in Denver, posed a hypothetical question in which he seemed to suggest that that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in choosing Obama as its presidential nominee.
He said: “Suppose you’re a voter, and you’ve got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don’t think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?”
Then, perhaps mindful of how his off-the-cuff remarks might be taken, Clinton added after a pause: “This has nothing to do with what’s going on now.”
Mr
We have several time zones in this country.
Still, it looks calculated to me.
“Still, it looks calculated to me.”
Paul, I still don’t know what you’re smoking, but I wish you’d share now and then.
Paid Republican political shill Franklin / Econ 101 / Paul (and who can imagine how many other nics?) — I’m not mad at anyone or about anything. You give yourself waaaaay more credit than you will ever deserve. I will always remind people what you told the blog last night — your JOB is to post and see what gets reactions. I hope laughter is the reaction you expect because that’s all you’re likely to get! Your posts mean nothing, you have ZERO credibility, you serve your master, your boss, and you do it extremely poorly. If you are the best the Republican Party has, Democratic Party candidates have no worries at all! It’s funny actually.
Oh, I forgot to add how much I look forward to Barack Obama, the next president of the United States of America, and his lovely wife Michelle, our next First Lady, representing me and our country!
For some time, Obama’s BOSS was a man who set off at least 30 BOMBS, the TERRORIST Ayers EMPLOYED Obama.
You seem not at all concerned about the “man behind the curtain” where Obama is concerned.
Franklin… Yawwwwn!!!!! We have read all that crap….. I don’t buy it.
It does not matter what David or Linda think, what matters is what they DO to refute what I say.
Obviously, they can’t refute what I have said.
Not with facts.
Not with documents.
Not with dates or time lines.
Just insults.
You see? Obama MIGHT have a memo or a letter or a personal friend who he confided with. Someone who might say, “Hey, I like my job with Ayers, but his positions bother me” or “His past bothers me” or “I wish my BOSS, Ayers, had not stood on an American flag, promoting his own book, which bragged about terrorism”—
However, no such mitigating factors have come forward.
We KNOW we got the goods on Obama. We just want to know the reaction.
And, honestly, I have never claimed that I get paid for what I do. I make no such claim or denial.
It is none of your business.
(But it is fun to toy with BJ/JR)
Wash, rinse, repeat…
Dang it Paul, haven’t you figured out you’re supposed to STOP after that?
Paul is crazy- that’s become seriously obvious.
MrC- you want to understand me? Its like this. We had a chance at an UNBEATABLE ticket. We had the chance at serious party unity- the strongest ever. And because Michelle had a little tiff with Hillary for whatever reason- she and Obama have shut out the most powerful people in the democratic party and her supporters.
Obama decided he could jeopardize my vote, the gay vote, so let him go ahead and try to win without us.
Michelle Obama, “I would have to think about voting for Hillary” —
Here it is in her OWN words:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/25/michelle-replay-i-would-have-to-think-about-voting-for-hillary/
Pmom:
I respect your feelings, but I think if we win in November, you will see a deal emerge that will make a lot more sense than VP–Hillary Clinton as Majority Leader.
Then, if for some reason, we lose in 2012, the next Republican president will have a far more formidable opponent in Congress… Hillary, their worst nightmare.
Sad to say, as much as I love and respect the Clintons, I think the release of Bill’s financials would have been more of a distraction than Neil Kinnock.
How about Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton (FOR LIFE!) when she is ready and the majority is in place? Sounds like a much better gig to me. Safer, more influential for a longer time, history in the making for the next two or three decades. Sweeeet!
So what do the Republicans have? Only negatives than can be proven false. What are they offering the people of this country? Anything?
F E A R and the lies that surround it.
she and Obama have shut out the most powerful people in the democratic party and her supporters.
Funny, I saw a heck of a lot of powerful people watching that speech last night, some with tears in their eyes. As for her supporters, what kind of supporters are you/they for not listening to what she’s saying to you? She wants to see the Dems united. Where is your unification? Where is your love of country? Or is Hillary worth more than your country?
Pettiness, pure and simple. You sound like a Republican. “I didn’t get mine so you won’t get yours!”
I was so hoping that Obama would pick Hillary as his VP. She deserved it.
Now I don’t know when we’ll be able to tell which one has the biggest butt.
I’m pretty sure it’s Hillary, but Michelle has the height to carry it off better. Side by side it would be easier to tell.
Mr. Price,
That’s beneath you. Or at least, it ought to be.
You really are a sexist pos hank.
Unbelieveable.

Not a bad idea, would balance some of the Bush appointees
I think mine is bigger than either of the two ladies you mention, Hank. No contest!
That’s beneath you.

It seems the subject of the post is actually “beneath” Hillary and Michelle. ;)
See? Michelle wouldn’t even vote for Hillary.
I do not trust Obama to do the right thing.
I don’t.
Repubs. know their only chance is to try and cause division, which is why mccain’s running those hillary ads.
If you want to get played by the repubs. no less, don’t get over it and don’t move on.
Even in Ks. where it most likely won’t make a difference, I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of patting themselves on the back.
But, if you honestly can’t see obama as being better for America, vote for mccain or obstain.
PMom, YOU clicked on a link posted by Franklin / Econ 101 / Paul the PAID Republican political shill? A link to a blog AND you put any confidence in that? Are you ill? Is someone else using your nic?
No- you ask HIM why he chose to divide the party.
I will write in Hillary.
“duplicate comment detected; it appears you’ve already said that”
But dammit, you didn’t print it the first time!!!
No its really me. But Michelle really did say that.
Despite all the lies Paul spews, that is true.
And I don’t appreciate the cons trying to stick their noses in our rift.
(sighs heavily)
…or the second.
grrrr…

Dork
That link contained a Michelle Obama VIDEO!
Are you saying that we awful, nasty Republicans put those words in Michelle’s mouth?
We each have one vote to cast exactly the way we choose! That is a hard-fought right! Especially hard fought if you’re a female. You know your mind, PMom and owe no one an explanation.
I would NEVER click a link posted by the paid Republican political shill! But, I’ll trust you PMom. I won’t click the link so won’t know if it was or wasn’t in context, what the circumstances were or anything else. I know people are people and haven’t met a perfect one yet.
But I sure know I won’t take even the slightest chance that McCain might be elected!

How about Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton (FOR LIFE!)
:)
Can’t you see the Republics foaming at the mouth is they do that?!
PRICELESS!!!!!
If Obama would swear to put Hillary on the SCOTUS- I’d vote for him. But no inuendo- he’d have to actually say it. And he won’t.
He certainly won’t if he expects to get it done! C’mon, YOU know that very well!
To say that would galvanize much opposition and would be a bad mistake.
Better to hit them over the head with it afterword.
Alas, I am ready for a change from a Republican in the White House. Obama, Hillary, Ron Paul, Kevorkian – I don’t care who the Democrats nominate they will get my vote. I will vote for whomever, from whatever party, I think can beat the Republican candidate for President.
(I normally oppose voting based on the party of the candidate, and generally don’t think it is good to vote against someone, but the Presidential election this year is an exception to those rules.)
This whole convention is about appearances. I think butt size is relevant. Do you think Obama would be the nominee if he was big and fat with a pock marked face?
Do you think the democrats would have nominated him if he had a white wife? Ugly white wife? Hell, he’s half white, why not?
Let’s face it, Hillary has a big butt!
I would vote for Mrs. Obama.
To iron my shirt.
So do you, Hank. I’ve seen it! And daily you show it here!
Hank,
In the immortal words of the late Molly Ivins, “The first rule of holes is: stop digging.”
LOL!
You should have seen it 10 years ago! My wife says I’m losing my butt now. Says I’m getting an old man butt.
Just easier to call HClinton, “Her Thighness.”
It’s quick, descriptive and has a touch of humor to it. :D
I like to call her ‘thunder thighs’, however, they are not out of proportion to her butt. Hillary has a big butt.
I disagree, Mr. C.
Keep digging, guys! More for the archives!
She has one of the biggest asses in politics too. If she would have divorced him last year she would be the nominee now!
“Little bitty waist with an Oakland booty”-Sir Mix-A-Lot

Remember that Franklin, Fleetwood, HLP, and Anti all self-identify as RepubliCONs.

Hillary would’ve been my first choice, but Obama would have been my second. ‘Can’t always get what you want…”
Hank, remember your comment on appearances, when the repugnant party holds their convention.
‘Can’t always get what you want…”
“You get what you neeeed.”
One of my favorties. :)
I like to call her ‘thunder thighs’
Sounds like a McCain statement…
True colors.
Hillary on the Supreme Court would make Thomas/Scalia explode. It would be fun to watch. They should put Judge Judy on there, too, just for the entertainment value, which was why I was for Karen Hughes. But hey, who remembers that?
If Thomas and Scalia exploded there would be even MORE openings for our President Obama to nominate and fill! This is getting better all the time!
Let’s see:
Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton
Supreme Court Justice William J. Clinton
Supreme Court Justice John Edwards
Although well educated neither Kerry nor Gore have law degrees. But I’m sure they could get them!

Yep, we nominated our candidate because of his good looks and charisma!
Take a careful look at the run of the mill delegates tonight. Then remember that ‘bar scene’ from Star Wars when then republicans meet. Make-up. Our women bathe and wear make-up.
I’ll admit that we are about apperances too. Good appearances!
Michelle Obama made nearly $300,000.00 per year at a non profit organization. I do not think most “not for profit” jobs pay that much

Just wondering, how much did Libby Dole make at the Red Cross?
Good one, mom!
The answer would be “more than her predecessor.”

So what is it you’re saying, Hank? Your women look like characters from the bar scene in Star Wars?
The thought of Cindy McCain as first lady is terrifying.
How’s this; Colombo–a few questions for Sen. Obama
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um . . . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and . . . ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once!
Oh, sorry sir. I didn’t mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island ? No, I didn’t think so. . .
Well, listen, anyways, I can’t seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be locked up or not available. I’m sure it’s just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could tell me where these things are . . . I . . . I . . . have them written down here somewhere . . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I will just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?

Oh hey . . . listen! I know you are busy! Is this too much for you now? I mean tell you what. I will come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, you know? I mean, I know you are busy, so I will just let myself out. I will be back tomorrow. And the day after. . .
“Your embossed, signed paper Certification of

That one was shown on one of the ‘factcheck’ type websites recently.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/jun/27/obamas-birth-certificate-part-ii/
An interesting tidbit from a site I posted a couple days back – they also found a birth announcement from the newspaper.

If I had the bushco stench around me I would feel a need to live in a shower!
Men who’ve commented about such things as make-up (most are oblivious) always say they prefer natural beauty. Mostly they don’t recognize the skill it takes to apply the amount necessary to look natural, but most men definitely recognize the woman who doesn’t possess that skill and looks made up!
Interesting to see how the will kiss and make up.

Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, July 28, 2008 4:20 PM PT
Election ‘08: Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called “economic justice.” He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code.
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302137342405551
“…. A perfect storm of statism is forming, and our economic freedoms are at serious risk.
Those who care less about looking politically correct than preserving the free-market individualism that’s made this country great have to start calling things by their proper name to avert long-term disaster.”

sorry, one speech will not absolve mybell for saying “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country”
That is something she meant and this is only a speech to silence critics.

YOUR women bathe IN make up!

Randy:
Do you really believe that one speech will make people forget her quote about “for the first time I am proud of my country? Maybe MSNBC needs a fill in sideline reporter.

Michelle Obama: The Actress
While her husband is Politician Celebrity, we finally got a glimpse last night of Michelle Obama, The Actress, and exactly how far she will go to pretend to be something she’s not in order to get into the White House.
I mused yesterday that Obama’s speech could in no way eclipse the rank absurdity of Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s Ode to Herself four years ago. But I was wrong. In her widely panned speech, at least Mrs. Kerry respected everyone enough to be honest with us about herself.
Michelle Obama, on the other hand, simply was not. Her comments last night in no way, in any small part, reflected her repeated speeches over the past 18 months. It in no way gave us even a tiny glimpse into the world we know she and her husband live in–one of grievance, anger, entitlement, and general whiny unhappiness. Whether it be through her own now consistently famous complaints, or the people they have chosen to surround themselves with– America-haters, in one instance, a domestic terrorist with a commitment to kill Americans and topple the government. The Obamas’ own words and their associations belie the “Donna Reed” image MIchelle Obama tried so hard to convey last night.
Americans are very open-minded people. We like the underdog, those who come up–we like to hold up the unexpected. But what we dislike with as much passion is being lied to. Differences of opinion are one thing, being lied to is quite another. Michelle Obama’s contempt for the “mean” American people is apparently so complete she now has no problem smiling as she spins her pretend story of patriotism and gentle, optimistic love for family and country.
She did make one mistake–she must have left the pillbox hat back in her suite.

Some of you are just so beyond pigs.
You know who you are.
Michelle Obama is one classy lady…so articulate and intelligent. She’ll be a wonderful first lady.
From the thread above;
“why does Michelle sit there like that? Why?”
Because she hates Hillary, simply hates her.
Her face was filled with contempt even while Hillary was promoting her husband beyond what he deserves.
The Dems really screwed up with him as their choice.
Michelle Obama would make a crappy first lady….fortunately that likely won’t happen, we can only hope.
Bill Clinton would make a more gracious first lady for that matter.
You’ll be the one crying in your beer come election day, Box…and I’ll be doing the happy dance!
Mccain supporters, after tonight, be afraid, be very afraid!
American…don’t bore us with the rhethoric from “Faux” News. Try to have an original thought, please.
“rhetoric” is what I meant.
Goodnight.
“for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country”
Maybe MSNBC needs a fill in sideline reporter.
And maybe YOU need to get a quote right.
