    Obviously this article has exposed a nerve not found in the major media since everyone has been concentrating on Berack . My experience with Berack started when he gave a stump speech for our Democrate Senatorial candidate just days before the 2004 election. It was a magnificent speech just as his later ones seems to have been. Barack was running for the Senate himself so it was only recently I found out why he was not at home campaigning. His opponent(s) had quit the race. Later when Obama was running for President and before he had been concidered a real continder I just happened upon a TV program showing Michelle at a conference where most of those in the audience were Africian-American females. What I heard of her speech made me think she was all about "Ussen against them (meaning whites). It was disturbing enough that I had to rethink my responce to Obama. I also expresed to my wife that she should never be our First Lady. I realize now that the Reverend Wright episode surfaced that she had been influenced by him. While trying to find her original speech I discovered this long running commentary. I'm certain many of the Obama supporters will be disappointed if he becomes President. Just because you have the gift of gab doesn't mean you know what you are talking about or what to do with the facts as presented. I've seem many people that could sell most anything but had no idea how to make it work. Unfortunately even though our present President ,when running for the Office, had more experience than Obama it didn't do him any good. I just wonder what the majority of Black's will do when they find out they have been bamboozeled by someone that has been raised in a White environment and then sold his soul to the likes of a Rev. Wright to establish that he was Black enough. Interestingly Obama in his Rev. Wright speech detailed how he could not seperate himself from the Rev. Wright or the Black American's but switched to his white grandmother rather than acknowledge a heart felt connection to the White race that is in 50% of his genes.

    I will be delighted to tell you who Michelle Obama is. She is someone who have never loved her country until the moment that her husband started performing well in the nomination process. That brings up a va;id question. Would she have hated her country had Senator Obama not done well? Will she hate her country if Sen. Obama does not win the nomination? Will she hate her country if he wins the nomination and then loses the general election? Are her views when it comes to America the same as those of Rev. Wright? It requires severe lack of interest in the obvious not to see who Michelle Obama truly is.

    cont'. Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented "leadership" or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both adults when the Berlin Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change. We've lived through two decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious, election cycles under the rule of law, which have brought about "change" and upheaval, both good and bad. We were adults through several launches of the space shuttle, in case you were snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and benefited from dizzyingly rapid advances in technology, communications, science, and medicine pioneered by American entrepreneurs who yearned to change the world and succeeded. You want "change"? Go ask the patients whose lives have been improved and extended by American pharmaceutical companies that have flourished under the best economic system in the world.

    If American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall of communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every Independence Day? Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a welcome-home ceremony for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue Angels roaring over cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed waters that surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor memorial.

    2 MICHELLES, 2 AMERICAS & SHAME vs. PRIDE

    By Michelle Malkin

    Like Michelle Obama, I am a "woman of color." Like Michelle Obama, I am a working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the 13th generation of Americans born since the founding of our great nation.

    Unlike Michelle Obama, I can't keep track of the number of times I've been proud - really proud - of my country since I was born and privileged to live in it. At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's Democratic presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

    Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause from other Barack supporters who have also apparently been devoid of pride in their country during their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word "change." What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.

    • Posted By: Adgurl @ 03/31/2008 10:04:41 AM

      My guess would be due to an email circulating on the internet that Michelle Obama is on the cover of newsweek THIS WEEK. It got to some folks way late.

  • Posted By: trueknowledge @ 03/29/2008 7:41:17 PM

    I am proud of this woman, proud of what she represents, and thankful that Barack has her by his side and has Rev. Wright as his minister. I can speak this words because I know the reality of racism and what this country does. To speak against it does not mean you are racist, ignorant, or un-patriotic. I means yours eyes are open wide to the true world in which we live, instead of inside the bubble many people reside.

    Go Michelle, Hillary, and women and leaders like them! Go Obama '08! God Bless Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr.! God bless those with knowledge, and the poor peole who do not have it. Peace!

  • Posted By: freedomluver @ 02/26/2008 10:23:38 AM

    People, in all your arguing about race, religion, etc....you are all missing the point. Both Obama and Clinton want "CHANGE" to mean Socialism/Communism/Marxism vs. Freedom to make our own choices and not have the GOVT make them for us. We are a Republic and have a democratic society. If you all think Bush is bad, then go ahead and vote for either of those two and see how bad things really get. You have NO clue. Take a look at Russia and you will have an idea. Get real! Open your eyes. This is about our country, not who went to what college or is what color or gender. I don't like McCain either, but I know the difference if he is elected, vs one of the other two!

      When has any Democratic President in our history turned America into a Comuunist/Socialist government? By the way, Communism is not the same as Socialism, it was really more of a dictatorship than anything else. But how could any American President manage to do this? He would need the full support of the government and the military and maybe even the population. According to Marx there would have to be a Workers Revolution, a rising up of all the working class to overthrow the powers that be. This didn't happen with Communism and it's not going to happen just because a Democrate gets elected. Also, under the current Republican administration our rights and freedoms have become more eroded that at any other time in our history. Ever hear of the Patriot Act? This required Democrates AND Republicans. But who initiated it? The current Republican administration, that's who.

      • Posted By: InTheSouth @ 02/27/2008 8:58:42 AM

        Oh forgot to add, our government is a system of checks and balances remember? The President is not a King or Emperor or dictator. He doesn't have absolute power. How could he overturn all this, comnpletely change the structure of the government all by himself? And as I mentioned before, the current Republican President has probably gotten closer to bypassing the checks on his power than any other President, Democrate or Republican.

        • Posted By: freedomluver @ 02/27/2008 6:42:43 PM

          Well, I guess you just proved you are in favor of Communism. Moreover, neither socialism, marxism nor communism work. I am simply stating what the candidates have said - verbatim. Those statements are socialist. AND they are for socializing medicine. Who do you think will pay for that? We taxpayers. Nothing is free and I guess you are for just taxing us all to death. It's called a re-distribution of wealth and THAT my friend, in and of itself, is socialism. It requires only a vote and there we are. No more capitalism in this country because we won't have any incentive to work if the government is just going to give it to us for "free". My husband and I should just divorce, because that way I can still live with him and get on the welfare system FOREVER and not work. Gimme a break. Go read some history.

          • Posted By: vma100 @ 03/28/2008 12:47:35 AM

            What do you think the education system is in this country? It's state-sponsored and free for everyone. We all pay taxes which in turn support the education of American children. Holy cow! By your reckoning, that must be communist! That's the way 'socialized' medicine would work as well. We'd all pay taxes -- we'd all have health care. If we called that socialized medicine, we could also call education 'socialized education.' Same difference. Don't get lost in your own ignorance.

          • Posted By: InTheSouth @ 02/27/2008 10:44:08 PM

            How the hell did you get that I support Communism from what I said? Apparently you didn't actually read what I wrote. Far as Communism and Marxism goes I agree they seem pretty much dead now. Socialism I'm not sure about, I think there may be some socialist democracies in Europe and/or Africa that are somewhat successful but I'm not sure, would have to check on that. But my point is that America isn't going to get turned into a Soviet Union just because a Democrate gets elected. Our President doesn't have that much power. And if something like national health care happens it's because the majority of Americans have asked for it, and a social program doesn't mean a Communist regime. We already have some social programs and our democracy is doing just fine. I suggest you read some history and find out how Communism was born in Russia. It was a whole different set of circumstances than modern America. I think the idea that any President could turn our country into another Russia or tyrannical Communist nation is absurd. Our government was designed to avoid that kind of thing,checks and balances, limited terms etc. Plus the fact that the American people just wouldn't accept it. There would be too much resistance..But those are just my opinions, If you don't wanna agree with em then don't. Makes no difference to me if you agree or who you vote for.

    I am trying to reply to the Barack supporter who said he read hatred in my comment!! I hate no one nor do i discriminate against color...only actions!! You people always get hit with the truth and fall back on the same old supporter Racism. The truth is we all know the hidden agenda of Barack Obama and it is not for America but for the fullfilment of a black community. He has never done one thing for my country to prove to me he is a leader and commander in cheif for all the people. The things he did do and Mischelle were for blacks. Take off the mask Obama and show the true face your hiding. I want vote for him

      And you know this because.........? You need to take some serious inventory about what's on the inside of you and where all this is coming from. How many times have you met ANY of the candidates and from whence do you get all this intimate knowledge of them and their intentions?

      And what, pray tell, have YOU done for this country? Funny, how White people KNOW Obama so well when most people don't even KNOW themselves.

  • Posted By: monyneen @ 02/28/2008 10:19:39 PM

    She is a true racist . I will never vote for Obama .So many of us out here are sick of getting the Obama's shoved down our throats . She is finally proud of America ( because her husband , African American ) is running for president . What about all the other great things this country has done ? She may or may not back Clinton if she gets the nomination , hey why because Clinton is not black ? Help . No I do not respect the Obama people and I think they will bring this great country to deep racial divide .

    • Posted By: Jennfizz @ 03/24/2008 5:19:45 PM

      By "us" you mean.....? And you think the country isn't already racially divided exactly because of YOUR type of thinking?

    • Posted By: dab08 @ 03/24/2008 1:41:40 AM

      Has Bill Clinton said that he would back Obama if Obama is the nominee? Of course not. He wants his spouse to win the nomination just like Michelle Obama wants her spouse to win.

      Though I can appreciate how hard it is for most of us, to place ourselves in each other foot steps... I am always impressed how so many are able to take so little information about someone and form such strong convictions... What conversation did you and she share, where are the correspondents between yourself and her staff? What street did you and she share on the walk to the school during her elementary years? Where were you when she had to go through the often unspoken truths, of those who rather not have you there simply because? Or worst yet, believe that the only reason your there is through some program you did not merit. But none the less you can form an apparent conviction on the character of someone you never so much as spent a moment with...

      Why is it ok to run a debt as high as we do on anything but domestic policies alright, and frown on spending any money on our own as policies of socialism? It???s ok to put down our adversaries at the cost of a trillion and thousands of lives and tens of thousands injured. But wrong to pull out peace from whatever rock it maybe hiding??? How long you think we can go on borrowing before eventually the tax payers will need to step in even deeper??? Those that have much, are always more then capable of holding on to it??? But those that have less or none should be quiet and not complain??? You are welcome to your opinion, but you should give the practice of thinking before speaking some consideration.

      Most of your cited missed votes are on the same day, on the same improvement act. When you miss two days of work to spend needed time with your family or to hit a campaign trail, no one is keeping tally of what you missed. Every single member of the senate has missed votes, so let's get real here. Furthermore, you can check Clinton's no vote record at http://www.votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=55463. It's quite impressive. Have both sets of data and you'll have a much better point.

    Obama's judgment leaves much to be desired and his wife is no different.Obama was quick to infer that Hillary Clinton's campaign was responsible for the pass-port fiasco, although USA Today reported that The Washington Times and CNN say one of the contract employees worked for a company called The Analysis Corp. That firm, in turn, is led by CEO John Brennan -- an adviser and contributor to Obama's campaign. TAC has apologized for the actions of its employee (who the company says has not been fired, at State's request, while an investigation is underway).

    My very first presidential vote was for JFK in'62. I was proud and excited to vote for an Irish Catholic. We know what happened to him and his brother. They were not lynched, but, gone forever, none the less. I would love to see Hillary as the first woman president, but, if it turns out to be Obama, I will support him. As for Michelle, I would just like to see her develop her own sense of style and stop channeling Jackie.

      Geez talk about a raving lunatic fanatic. You should educate yourself before making such absurd statements. The fact is it wasn't the entire Muslim community that was responsible for 911, it was a very small segment of Islamist extremists that most Muslims don't agree with. The really funny thing is that people like you are more like those extremists than other Muslims. You are just as extreme and delusional the only difference is your a Christian instead of a Muslim. Whether Obama is or isn't a Muslim is irrelevant to his being President. In this country he has the same right to be a Muslim as anyone else does to being a Christian or Buddhist. If you are bigoted against Muslims that's your personal problem, but fortunately in America a person of any religion can run for the office of President. If you are uncomfortable with that kind of freedom and protection of individual rights then perhaps America isn't the country for you.
