I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
If he used to be Michelle and became Mike would be different.
Michael and Mike....silly to get upset at people who have known you your entire life for calling you an extended version of a nickname, even if you have legally changed it. I have a brother named Andrew. If he suddenly changed his name to Andy legally and wanted to be called that, I'd probably never remember. I've called him Andrew for 30 years and would probably do so for the rest of our lives.
My sister is now my brother, has been for a few years. I still slip up and call him her and by his girl name.
Michelle's ugly sneakers!
The First Lady could feed quite a few people with what she paid for the sneakers she's wearing.

Wow! $540.-- for a pair of sneakers!
And they are ugly!
Mine cost only $ 50.-- and are much, much nicer!
She should wear them with her 'sleeveless' dresses.
As much as I like O, but she is a no no.
Nah. Michelle is as big a hypocrite as her husband.

I am not an Obama fan but....
the fact is he is our next president. I keep stressing to myself that we have to support him or this country will go nowhere. I am proud that our country has been open-minded enough to vote a bi-racial person as president. I am a bit sad that this is being portrayed as such a "star-studded" event. The "stars" have every right to be just as excited as "the commoners", but I wish it was more about the fact that we have a new president and hopefully this country is headed in a different direction. I will be watching some, what I can and I hope others will as well.
I agree with M Obama
She was simply stating that she is proud of what is happening now in our country. Too many people who are for the Clintons are trying to pick apart every single little word that she or Barack says. I'll tell you though in my adult life since the Clintons and the Bush's have been in office there IS nothing to be proud of!
Let me ask these questions....are you proud that we went to war that we shouldn't have and are you proud that our troops are needlessly being killed and we've got a guy now who says this is going to go on for the next 100 years? Are you proud that America has homeless and hungry yet the rich live in mansions and own 4 and 5 jet planes all parked in front of their house? Are you proud that our education system doesn't pay the teachers what they should be paid? Are you proud that Americans are losing their jobs due to outsourcing to other countries? That americans can't afford health care, that americans are losing their houses? Gosh I could go on and on and on. There is not too much to be proud of now a days. Especially when one group is tearing each other apart trying to steal others delegates and pretty much are going to just "place" themselves in the position because they believe its rightfully theirs...I say enough is enough!
I have also listened to a lot of her other speeches and she is a very eloquent speaker and proud of her family and husband. So she messed up and used the word "first". Sheesh! Give her a break. If you want to start picking apart word for word what people say lets go on down the line with ol Billy boy. I personally like Ms. Obama and believe she would make an eloquent first lady. She inspires people to do things with their lives.
Obama should too, then he'll look a little
like AL Sharpton  .
New Obama family dog
In this undated photo released by the White House, the Obama family's new dog, Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog, is shown at the White House in Washington.
Barack Obama, so I could ask him what in the

Obama seems great as far as politicians go.
He is a democrat but was raised by a republican mother and seems to realize that family values of healthcare in America, especially for our elderly and our children, is very important as well as education. He has a straightforward way of speaking and acutally answering questions that I really like.
No politician is perfect, but his honesty is refreshing, and I hope he has a good shot. Hilary and him running together would be an interesting concept. hmmm
Exactly. And these Obama fans need to give it up. I mean, we don't like sm
Obama for numerous reasons and some dumb email isn't going to change my mind either way.
handbags. Obama or Clinton?

TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
The reply was regarding the misinformation in the Obama e-mail that has been circulating
for months and is widely acknowledged to be full of lies, not about Mrs. Obama's speech.
No one is arguing that Mrs. Obama said this. Someone posted that old, tired Muslim e-mail.
That is what the "check your facts comment was about." Anyone who watches the news has seen the sound bites from Mrs. Obama's appearance this morning.
