Oral Exam

As expected, the media vultures started to swing their axes at Michelle Obama minutes after her speech and are now on a roll. Frankly, it really didn't matter what she said or how she acted. The sharpened axes were already there the second she stepped off the podium.

Gerson said all in the statement: "This very ordinariness, however, serves to highlight that, only a few years ago, Obama was a rather obscure member of the Illinois legislature. And this will do nothing to reassure people concerned about his inexperience."

I think Michele Obama's speech was sincere and very well done. I would welcome her as a First Lady.

As someone whom at one time considered myself a Republican I stand back now and listen/read all of the cynicism, anger, divisiveness, arrogance and sheer bitterness that comes out of the talk show hosts and their minions. Why can't there be a Republican analyst or candidate that can honestly disagree but do so with some statesmanship or class? We need to disagree, I get that, but it needs to be done with some character. Save the cheep shots and the bitterness. Let's remember that "the world is watching us."

I get it now! Racism is ALIVE AND WELL in America!

It was a fake and so is she. Nice try Newsweek with your analysis. You are so biased it is unbelievable.

They state she has to work to polish her image. Now why would one have to work at that. SHE IS A FAKE

She's a fraud. Too little too late. We know her real feelings and her background of white hatred. They both are too frightening to ever be considered for anything close to representing this country and if the people of Illinois have any common sense, they vote him out of office next election.

".......and so my fellow Americans. Ask what your country can do for you. Ask not what you can do for your country. Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by me. With charity towards all who supported me, and malice towards all who did not, let us strive on to finish the work we are in. And I say to all who may oppose me: Woe unto the world because of offences! for it needs be that offences come; but woe to that woman (you know who you are) by whom offence commeth. I am loath to close. But in your hands my dissatisfied Democrats and not in mine is the momentous issue of this campaign. Will you elect me and wash away the stain of racism or will you elect my opponent and deepen it.

Lincoln declared that a "house divided will not stand". Yet.......... we have two politically divided parties. Hmmm, why does everyone overlook this huge flaw. We here crap from both sides of the isle... whatever ppl
