Well...Michelle Obama works full time now...

In Reply to: I worry about the children on both sides sm - Kiki
as does her husband, and their children look beautiful, healthy and well adjusted.
Actually, I believe just the opposite. I believe being governor, actually running a state, is much more of a day-to-day demanding position. Still, she is home most every night. As VP, she will be home most every night. Michelle Obama works full time too, but she is home most every night. As First Lady, Michelle will be required to travel as well...Laura Bush has traveled quite a bit as first lady.
I believe Sarah Palin can handle it and not deprive her children. I also believe that Michelle Obama could handle it just fine and not deprive her chldren. They are both strong women who have a wonderful support system and love their husbands and families...which I don't think precludes them having a career...either as and administrator like michelle obama, or as first lady; and Sarah Palin as governor or VP.
And I think a majority of women in the country would agree with that as well.

Once i took a full-time 3rd shift job for the health insurance - sm
I have some relatives who don't have health insurance - not provided by their jobs because their husbands are self-employed and they don't buy it themselves. They also think they are too good to work the job I used to for health insurance even though they would be quite capable of it. Therefore, I think I am too good to participate in a handout so they can have it.
here's what Michelle Obama says about the WHOLE PIE - please sm
This is what Michelle Obama had to say about the 'redistribution of wealth' (in keeping with the Global Poverty Act):
"The truth is most Americans don't want much. Folks don't want the whole pie. Most Americans feel blessed to thrive a little bit, but that's out of reach for them. The truth is, in order to get things like unviersal health care and a revamped education system, then SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP A PIECE OF THEIR PIE SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN HAVE MORE."
And to accomplish this, she says:
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is gong to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your division, that you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones, that you push yourselves to be better, and that you engage. BARACK WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO GO BACK AND LIVE YOUR LIVES AS USUAL, uninvolved, uniformed."
I'm sorry, but that thinking is more in line with the totalitarian governments of China, North Korea and Cuba. Last I looked, I was still living in America. I have the Constitutional right to succeed or fail according to my own abilities, and I staunchly support everyone else's right to do the same. (You know, that little something called 'the pursuit of happiness?)
But I don't want big government deciding I have 'enough' and handing it off to someone in another country who may not have their 'fair share.' I already pay taxes, tithe 10% to charities, volunteer at my local food bank, and shovel the sidewalk of the elderly couple next door. I think most Americans are doing this kind of stuff day in and day. Because WE CARE about one another.
If more of my money is being shipped overseas, how am I to help my own next door neighbor?
Michelle Obama
When you said that Michelle Obama "doesn't talk like a black woman," - how exactly do black women talk? When you said that, it is so clear that you are racist. I am sure you will have one heck of an explanation about what you meant, but I would rather hear how you think black women talk.
I see Michelle Obama
as an arrogant bitter black woman with a chip on her shoulder. There is no beauty that I see. Her kids are cute though.
Who cares what Michelle Obama wants....
She was not even proud to be American majority of her life. 
I think Obama and Michelle are racist!
.
I think Michelle/Obama are racist
And the McCain/Palin ticket have not/still continue to show racism?? The bottom line of all of the nasty hateful comments that I have seen on this board is that if Barack Obama did not run for the President of this country, the majority of you whould't give a flying bobcat WHO he is. The number of hateful, bigoted, mean nasty comments I have seen on this board are more than enough to know that in 2008, hate, bigotry and racism have never died; it is displayed in subtle insidious ways - to any of those who care, it has been ONLY a little over TEN years since a black man was tied to the back of a pick up truck in Texas and dragged around so much he was dismembered..it is situations such as those which break my heart - a human being. I will never understand it; and in this election the racism is extremely blatant. Not to mention the blatantly racist exhibition two white men decided to make money from - check You Tube under "Obama waffles" - look at how he is caricatured and then ask yourself WHAT is racist...
same here....I wonder what Michelle Obama thinks
she knows Biden does not care for her husband and has actually said he is not the man for the job of President. Boy, that must be a tense/false/forced smile when they get together.
Michelle Obama said don't believe the polls.
She said its too close to call right now.
Also there are over 11% who are still undecided.
What did you think about Michelle Obama's dress?
Just wondering
Well, Biden works FOR Obama now -and is

Kaydie's Michelle Obama comment
I am still waiting for your answer. When you claimed you weren't a racist, yet in your next paragraph you said "Michelle Obama does not talk like a black woman," what do black women talk like?
And Michelle Obama has made it clear
that her children come first. From what I've personally seen, I can't imagine those parents allowing ANYTHING or ANYONE to harm their children and that all they want for their children are bright, healthy, prosperous futures -- just like all American parents do.
Yet, some people on this board even want to suggest that getting these girls a PUPPY is something evil with questionable motive. It's just unbelievable! 
Michelle Bachmann blaming Obama
//
You must accept Michelle Obama's racist bent, then...
in the way she has spoken out, especially during the campaign months, correct?
Thanks for sharing your story. It was very moving. But I meant your bullying attitude towards other posters, when they don't engage you.
Ann Coulter Slams Michelle Obama In New Book
More details of Ann Coulter's next book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America are out revealing how Coulter slams Michelle Obama for her style while applauding that of Cindy McCain.
The Daily News reports:
Coulter wrote, "Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."
Coulter said Cindy McCain, the wife of vanquished GOP nominee John McCain, "dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."
Coulter facetiously and snidely refers to Michelle Obama as a "saint" and "Mother Teresa" and suggests that her public service career "advanced in lockstep with the political advancement of her husband."
A previous excerpt from November revealed that Coulter refers to President-Elect Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" and mocks the media's love affair for him.
The book goes on sale Tuesday January 6.
No word if her jaw is still wired shut.
Wish her jaw/mouth would be permanently wired shut.
Michelle Obama shunning poor patients!!
Tons of info on this........ for those that care more about this country than the Obama fest...........

Yeah, and didn't Michelle just tell us to judge Obama on his actions? sm
They finally let her out of her box onto the Larry King show, and that's one of the things she said.
I don't like his actions, one little bit.
He's bamboozled millions of people.
Michelle Obama's Official White House Portrait
See below.
Does it bother you that Michelle Obama wears sleeveless dresses?
It doesn't me. I didn't see the purple dress they're talking about, either. I'm not sure what all the ruckus is about.
The whole article is about the new White House informality; here's the part about Michelle.
Then came the tut-tutting from Democrats and Republicans alike over first lady Michelle Obama's sleeveless purple frock.
Hip 26-year-old designer Jason Wu, who fashioned FLOTUS' white, off-the-shoulder inaugural gown, called her "the ultimate muse." But some were murmuring that the first lady revealed not merely bare arms beneath the dome of the nation's shrine to democracy but an unseemly lack of reverence.
"It was an unusual choice," a Democratic Capitol Hill staffer confessed to a male reporter oblivious to the nuances of Capitol garb.
ABC News' Cokie Roberts, author of "Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation," said she fielded an e-mail from a staunch feminist fan of the first lady's who nevertheless added, "but enough with the sleeveless dresses."
It does raise some hackles. I'm a little curious about it because it's cold in the House gallery," Roberts said. "I suppose that the sense of sleeveless dress being somewhat inappropriate comes from churches. ... There does seem to be some sense of decorum having to do with covering your shoulders."

Unfortunately, Obama's speech was full of lies
nm
Obama campaign discarded 84 trash bags full of American flags...sm
after they left Invesco field, after the DNC convention.
You tell me, after reading this article.....who has more character, and who is more patriotic? I feel as if the flag has been spit upon, 12,000 times.
Night and day, my friends. Night and day, between these two candidates.

You think he's full of himself? Well, I think you're full of something else. SM
Something brown. You think on it for a couple of months and I bet you'll figure it out.
They spoof Obama all the time.
As a matter of fact, he was supposed to be on last night; but due to Ike, he cancelled his appearance. You know, it was a bad hurricaine and unlike your hero, he was not going to sit around and watch an entire city drown.
The video depicts how ridiculous McBush's running mate is.
As oldtimer said, Tina Fey is very talented.
Obama was their attorney at one time
So as their attorney he didn't know this was going on....like crap he didn't. He was part of the corruption. He continues to be heavily involved with them....lets not hide our heads in the sand.
one more time - I do not worship Obama...
However, at this point, I just think all the complaining and bitterness is just plain counterproductive.
And why is it disprespecting President Bush for him to hold press conferences?
Obama supportors have sunk to an all time low...sm
Has anyone seen this? If it's been posted about already, please forgive me, as I've been busy working.
This just really makes me sick to my stomach, to think that anyone could sink this low.

The only time I've heard Obama
talk about religion where it concerns POLICY is with the abortion issue. In the 3rd debate he said he was pro-choice because he felt it was a moral issue, guided by religion, lack of religion, or whatever. To me this means he is (unlike McCain) inclusive of the beliefs of ALL the people, not just some or those who have the same religious beliefs.
Obama vs blank stare, Biden vs no time
Yeah. I'm shaking like a leaf over here.
Obama's voice "irks" me. Every time I hear him, I

For the last time, Obama was on a board with Ayers REPUBLICANS ARE STILL and
Obama's involvement was minimal and Ayers is NOT a threat to the US. After 911 were they looking at him? no.

What if Obama didn't hang around with terrorists? What if he was not a long-time follower of a r
Then I would be voting for him.
Try it..It works for me :o)
I havent read their posts for two days and its like a breath of fresh air!
Okay, whatever works for you....
How about Michelle!!
 She was great last night at the convention!! I will be tuning in for the remainder of the convention. I am so excited about this race!! It is time for change!!
Michelle
Not only do I believe Michelle is racist but I believe her husband is as well. If you listen to him it's there even if you have to read between the lines. My personal feeling is that it would be easier to deal with that than with McCain/Palin. I will be the first to admit that I may be making a mistake because I do not want to see either of them in office. Unfortunately, the Republicans on here will not even debate the issues they are so dead set for McCain/Palin. The fact that some may say she is lacking in experience, which she is, doesn't bother me. We might even be better off with an outsider who had no political experience whatsoever but a large dose of common sense which Washington seems to be extremely short on.. Experience is not my problem with Palin. She comes across to me as a simpering airhead. What kind of common sense did McCain show when he picked her after having only met her one time and talked to her on the phone once. Because he thought she would attract Hillary's woman voters. Looks like he may have been right too.
Works for me! :)

That works for me.
Something in the works to get rid of them all. sm
I will probably vote for Nader or Baldwin. No write-ins allowed in my state or I would vote for Ron Paul. Barr is a neocon mole. See the new grassroots effort Voter Bomb.

I just tried it and it works for me....nm

Here's how it works.
Your prove your own point, that is assuming you have one, other than your typical, run-of-the-mill generic smear orgy. So far, your not doing that great of a job since all you seem to know how to do is belittle. Try a direct answer to the points I hve raised about the nature of the original post, the nasty reply and your defense of it.
I have no ax to grind, no point to prove, only my side of the story to present. I prefer to leave it up to the others to draw their own conclusions.
That's the way that works - nm

WHATEVER WORKS - DID THEY
CARE ABOUT US WHEN THEY FLEW PLANES INTO OUR BUILDINGS? - GET OVER IT - NEXT WEEK YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING NEW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, ESPECIALLY WITH OBAMA MAN IN OFFICE! 
works for me....
your hatred is ugly.
And so he should....and Michelle should...
remiburse the tax coffers for her little private C130 ride from Paris to London for shopping. Won't hold my breath waiting on that check. It is somehow worse that he was using to meet his mistress than she was using it to go shopping?? BOTH WRONG.
What works for you may not work
If you are a good Christian, good for you; be a shining example of your faith. But if in the process of being a good Christian you trample MY rights and/or faith, well, sorry, that isn't good. THAT is why I believe in the separation of church and state. We are all different and have different levels of development, spiritual and otherwise. God is the ONLY and ultimate judge; I believe we all come before Him to account for our lives. My relationship with God is between Him and me...no one else. I don't think it is the job of my fellow humans to judge me and and tell me, *My religion/faith is better than yours* I don't care how much YOU believe it.
Works for me. But it will never work for you and we all know it. nm

Noone is saying prayer alone works, Sim!
