Barack’s Rock

To americanagainstmarxism. If I was Obama's marketing agent I would have changed his name to something like Bubba Smith. Everybody knows a Bubba they love.

Half those scum terrorists who crashed into the Twin Towers had the name ' Hussein '. That name just has too many bad memories and connotations attached to it. Think about it. President Hussein. Saddam Hussein. Osama Bin Laden. Like, might as well say the US is one of the three Amigos. Man...too much.

Dear hope 9999,

If you didn't have anything racist to say, then you don't have to walk on egg shells when you speak. If you have a good education and think before you speak, there is no issue. I take it that you have no close friends who are African-American, nor do you realize what most of them have been through on a daily basis. It has been a long 8 years, and I am more than excited for the world to see that a more educated America can get past racism for the first time in years and be part of a world of citizens, not races. Wanting better for yourself and trying to improve your community is not being racist. I'm sure there are many people in your circle of friends and family that say things that are disturbing at times. Have you been labelled as thinking just like them because you happen to know or be related to them? I have a brother who took drugs all his life and got in lots of trouble, yet no one thinks that I take drugs or get in trouble. Again, education, education, education...you should try it.

I would be proud and honored to have Mrs. Obama as first lady and President Obama leading our country. They care about where we are going as a nation and who has a seat at the table - much better than the greedy oil barons who currently occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and who didn't send their daughters to fight in Iraq.

I would be proud and honored to have Michele Obama as first lady and Barack Obama as President - they care about the country and about where we are going as a people - much better than the greedy current inhabitants of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Nice puff piece.

Newsweek is a disgrace.

Her claim she isn't involved in the politics is, shall I say "hogwash". I feel it is people like her that is pivotal in straining race relations. She should be telling the black community what they can do, ie: she and Barack, instead of what they should be given because of their color. There are many black affluent people we can be and are proud of and these are the ones she should expound upon. If Barack doesn't want his wife criticized he should tell her to be quiet, after all, aren't they public figures now?

swigerbunch,

YOUR racist views are coming through loud and clear. The reason their is a black history month, etc., is because for over a hundred years black have been treated as less than equal and even as less than human...if they are segregated and pull together as a race, we only have ourselves to blame for treating them that way to start.

And as them being racist as an etire group, that statement alone is racist. You're clearly oblivious to the hate going on in white America...hate groups have grown in record numbers over the past 8 years, and these are groups of WHITES. Obama is the one who's received numerous death threats from whites, and xenophones such as yourself only prove that white Americans are much more hateful than most other races in this country.

This is a wonderful piece on Michelle Obama. Very inspiring to me as a single mom. My blessing and my vote to Barack.

Dolores Fleming what do you mean by the "likes of her". Have you ever stopped to consider that this intelligent, out spoken African American may have a different view on how America has treated her than say.. a white woman? Believe it or not America has not always been kind to minorities. It's hard for the average white person to understand that not all Americans share their rosy apple pie version of the U.S. I'd rather have Michelle than a liar and corrupt woman like Hillary and her equally corrupt husband (oh yeah it will be a two for one deal) in the White House. NO MORE CLINTONS. If Obama does not get the nod I'll vote for McCain.

Thank You (whoever that may be), for restoring my previous comments concerning Michelle Obama. The followup comment is obviously not completely accurate. The light violet lettering is still a real problem, is there some way for the commenttary being typed to be revised by the typee? Rereading and editing what has been typed would be improved immensely. Thanks

I just wasted 45 minutes posting a comment in letters that are nearly invisible on the screen, only to find out it apparently was vaporized because I did not have a username or password.
