    After what Michelle Obama has said in at least two of her speeches that all her adult life she was never proud of america until now.Because Obama is in the spot lite.I doubt very much that the white House will turn into the Black House.We sure do not need the likes of her in the White House after what she has said in more than one of her speaches.Obamas Preacher says ,dam america,dam the whites and blame the Whites for all there problems when they great there own problems.The poor blacks.don't you just feel for them.

      Rev. Wright did not say damn the whites, he said God Damn America as long as its government acts like its God and acts like it is supreme. He was damning the Government for what he believes are its racist policies.

      The fact that you even thought of using the words "Black House" tells me enough about you. Shame on the way the parents raised you to think. We are all citizens of the world, and had you really listened to Michelle's whole speach, you would have realized that she was extremely proud of her country and that you chose to not educate yourself and take her comment out of context. Like I said, your comments totally explain your upbringing and personality in one short little paragraph.

      I do feel for them. You?

    I don't trust either Michelle or Barack Obama. She seems angry and vindictive - He says anything he thinks you want to hear. - no core beliefs! I really wonder what they actuall believe about our Country - and what his game is!

      Your comments were the same ones used for Bill and Hillary Clinton, it didn't work then and it won't work now.

      you really sound racist. Why is it that if a black man or woman is highly intelligent especially a black woman she is angry when she speaks her mind.

  • Posted By: ciercee @ 05/25/2008 8:48:08 AM

    My vote will go to Clinton and if not Clinton it will go to McCain. Maybe McCain will run on a flat tax. That would sure get my attention. I agree with the person who posted the commet...."No core beliefs" concerning Obama and his wife. They attended a church for 20 years that preached sermons on a regular basis that most americans would not agree with. We don't need a president who will represent only the black cause. We need a president who can represent all people. If Obama takes the democratic nomination he will lose the general and McCain will be our next president.
    The media is clearly in the tank for Obama and they have allready began there campaign of propaganda and spin against McCain that they used so effectively on Clinton. It is a shame that the media has become so entrenched in the support of "THEIR" canidate. Maybe for the media Obama is fresh meat. Someone new they can attempt to lift high at their whim and bring low at their whim. Personally I am sick of the medias blatant attempt to sway the minds of their viewers for the support of any specific canidate.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 08/06/2008 2:31:51 PM

      In case you haven't heard, Clinton is no longer in the race. SHE LOST. You said that Obama will only support the black causes and that we need someone who will represent all of the people. Who can better represent all of the people than someone who is BI-RACIAL?

    Do not let strangers like Barack Husein Obama & his un-popular wife to be your boss in "Black-House" for anytime now 2009 or any years later. We scare to dead that the White house become Black house and freely visit by Muslim, AL quada. Wake up America !! why you vote for a CHANGE to the WORST? What change they bring? Can you trust that GIANT-FLIP-FLOP, cut-up and stealing idea platform, idea of other candidate like Mr. OBAMA???

    Daletoon of the Day: The Next Controversial New Yorker Cover

    There is no bad publicity, so the New Yorker is at it again. With all the coverage of its Obama cover (pun intended) the magazine has gone back to the well yet again with another disparaging image of the Obamas.

    I love her down to earth personality, her comments about her husband, and what people think she aught to say is to fraudulent. When youre real , ther's no polite way to express yourself, except to be who you are. When youre being real. Dressing a thing up is not necessary to accomodate the press. Her comment about her husband, and others opinion of her husband are two different things. When you can be real with yourself then you can be real with the public. The way someone else would have addressed that comment for the press sake, because your in the publics eye , it's not to be fake for the sake of selling out yourself or your opinion. They no that they're important to one another and they can be real with each other. Why put on mask for the sake of others.

    Continuing to focus on race only helps Obama. It is a distraction.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 08/06/2008 3:40:19 AM

      Focusing on in June playing of the race card (they will say that his name is funny, that they are gonna try to scare ya, and did I mention that he is BLACK???) and again in July (they will say my name is funny, and have you looked at how different I looked compared to the faces on our US dollar bills?) has only made Obama MORE transparent as to how he has been playing the game even in the primaries given we now see it repeated these past two months.

      Want to learn more about Obama and how he has inflicted the use of race into his life with others, especiallly in his early political life in Illinois leading up to his Presidential run? Read this. It will explain alot:

      If you have not seen this article, you might want to read it. It is very well written and informative. It provides readers with some insight into Obamas early political career. The time between his first campaign for the Illinois State Senate in 1995 and his race for U.S. Senate in 2004, which can fairly be called the LOST YEARS, the span of years that you never hear Obama talk much about.

      The Senator Obamas tenure as a State legislator reveals him to be an old-fashioned, big government, Race-Conscious Liberal.

      Actually, O has created some of it himself.... O jumped the gun when he said: "the only strategy they???ve got in this election is to try to scare you about me. They???re going to try to say that I???m a risky guy, they???re going to try to say, 'Well, you know, he???s got a funny name and he doesn???t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills". O would have done well to wait until McCain actually said that, because he didn't.

      Leave race out of it, for both sides.

    I wonder why Newsweek thinks it needs to recycle this article, which was originally posted in February during the campaign.

      Yeah, they're also recycling the Cindy McCain cover story from earlier this summer. I guess it's a slow news week. The wives are being brought up again....

    This is really sad to say but as soon as I said "that really tall black woman" they all knew who I meant.. Now that is not fair. This woman worked her tail off to be a part of this team and she was outstanding!

    There is no way that Michelle Obama will ever get to the White House after what she has said in two of her Speeches.She has said that all her adult life she was not proud of america until now.if Obama were not in the lime light she would still not be proud of America That gave them free admission to Columbia and Harvard.Did you ever here of a white person able to go to those two places FREE.

      Why do you lie? They paid off student loans of over a 100K.
      Not this time, not this year!!!

      • Posted By: Chestnut 45 @ 08/05/2008 12:08:43 PM

        They paid off the loans years and years later and only because he was running for president? Otherwise they would probably never paid them off.

      • Posted By: Cmack @ 08/05/2008 2:29:22 AM

        Again the reason why Michelle said that she was proud of the US for the first time was because as many of you act like you have forgotten how you (white America) took black people and hung them on trees during slavery times. Also look at the abuses during the last several decades. So easily does white America forget all of the horrible things that they have done to Blacks in this United States that you are so proud of. She was only stating that for the US to still be so racist it is very nice for most of white America to finally embrace a Black candidate for president.

  • Posted By: Concerned Canadian @ 05/25/2008 5:37:09 PM

    Who is this Michelle Obama ? ...Newsweek claims she keeps Barack Hussein Obama's fame from not getting to his head. Well, she's failed on that account...miserably.

    I know she said " I'm proud of my country for only the first time in my adult life... " which is a subtle message for saying if all you white trailer park trash don't vote for my black husband for President then you're all racial scum.

    Other than that...she's an unkonwn. Based on all this....definitely not First Lady material.

    • Posted By: Cmack @ 08/05/2008 2:42:08 AM

      Once again what she meant when she said that she was proud of the US for the first time in her adult life meant that she was recalling a time in the US when White America would hang blacks from trees and in the last several decades the racial injustices here in the US. White America always wants to sweep the terrible dirty things that they have done to other races, especially blacks under the rug. Wake up this was a compliment not an insult.

    Noozeweak - If you really wanted to show us what kind of a woman MicHELLe is, you would have at least published a couple lines of her Senior Thesis at Harvard.
    She didn't do good in school, yet further in your story you tell us she got in because she has good grades.
    She has "devoted" her life to helping the poor, yet works for a law firm.
    She didn't take sports because she didn't like to lose.
    Her joke on Hussein being the "First Lady" was quite funny however. Most of us knew this fact all along.

    Readers of this post, Google MicHELLe's harvard days to see the REAL MicHELLe.
    Then make your own opinion.

    I have the utmost respect for this woman, and that was before I read this article. I am a 52 year old woman who happens to be white, not that it should matter, and I am proud to say that I voted for Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania primary. This just makes me feel even better about the choice I made.
