In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible is a book called Esther. Gov. Sarah Palin is a modern day Queen Esther.

Queen Esther saved her people with wit and the leverage of being hot.
Sarah Palin asked her town cabinet (in a town of ~5000 people) to resign as a *loyalty test* (IOW, using force and intimidation) and then cut a bigger check for all Alaskans.
You want Palin to be Esther, and I agree that is fantasy of biblical proportions.
What?!
Go Michelle Obama. I can't wait to see what she does should she become first lady. I am very excited about this. And, I am a white 68 yo female.
You go Michelle Obama. I can't wait to see what she does, should she become the first lady. I am very excited about her as first lady. And, I am a whit woman age 68.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU PEOPLE WHINING AND COMPLAINING THAT THE OBAMA'S ARE SO PICKED ON. THEY SIT IN A CHURCH FOR TWENTY YEARS AND EMBRACE THEIR PASTOR WHO HAS DONE NOTHING BUT SPEW HATE FOR AMERICA AND YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE NOT INFLUENCED BY THIS? OBAMA HAS SHROUDED HIMSELF WITH SECRECY EVEN TO HAVE HIS BIRTH RECORDS SEALED IN HAWAII AND YOU WANT US TO EMBRACE HIM? HAS OPENLY SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THAT SOCIALISM IS A GOOD IDEA AND MAKING RICH PEOPLE POOR WILL MAKE POOR PEOPLE RICH = TRICKLE UP POVERTY!! THE LIBERAL PRESS HAS HELPED HIM AND NOW ARE TRYING TO COVER THEMSELVES WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW HIM. HOW ABOUT THE GAL THAT WAS INTERVIEWED AFTER AN OBAMA SPEECH DECLARING SHE WON'T HAVE TO WORK TO PUT GAS IN HER CAR OR WORK TO HAVE TO PAY HER MORTGAGE IF SHE VOTES FOR OBAMA. WELL WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO PAY FOR HER. AMERICA WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A NATION OF PANTWAISTS WHO CAN SIT AROUND AND HAVE EVERYTHING DONE FOR THEM. YOU GET ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THAT MINDSET AND EVENTUALLY THE ECONOMY COLLAPSES AND EVERYONE IS POOR (EXCEPT THOSE IN POWER) AND THEY WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO BE PART OF THE POPULACE LIVING UNDER SOCIALISM. THEY ONLY WANT SOCIALISM IF THEY CAN BE IN POWER AND TO HECK IF EVERYONE ELSE IS UNHAPPY. THOSE OF YOU WHO SUPPORT OBAMA CANNOT IN ANY WAY JUSTIFY ANY OF THE CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECTS WHICH SWIRL AROUND OBAMA. YOU SIMPLY REFUSE TO FACE THEM AND THINK YOU ARE JUSTIFIED TO SPEW HATE FOR MCCAIN AND PALIN WITHOUT THINKING THROUGH WHAT AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY WOULD REALLY MEAN. THANKS TO THE LIBERAL PRESS YOU HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED AND ENCOURAGED TO MAKE THIS CHOICE WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS. IT IS TO OBAMA'S ADVANTAGE TO KEEP YOU UNINFORMED AND SUPPOSEDLY DEPENDENT ON HIM. HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SUCCEED, OR MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR YOURSELF, HIS GOAL IS TO KEEP YOU POOR AND LOOKING TO HIM THINKING THAT ONLY HE CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER.
Just because you write all of your hate in all caps does not make it effective, it magnifies it's ignorance.
AM I SELF-IMPORTANT, IGNORANT, OR UNCARING? CAN I POSSIBLY GET ALL OF THIS TRASH IN ONE CAN?
This entire article is about what Michelle Obama will do for the African American women in this country. Excuse me, and you say that this is not a campaign that is racist. In my opinion if she were truly the lady she should be her color nor her culture would enter the equation. Hopefully there are enough smart people in the USA who have their eyes wide open and see this for what it really is. I have no respect for someone who makes a derogatory comment against this great nation that we live in, lets see how great it is when and if the Democrats take over. Go McCain/Palin, genuine people who care about the country and its people.
Sorry have you not been paying attention when John McCain was a p.o.w. he made some pretty sad remarks about the country in which he lives ............I understand that ok that he did that. Who is making this election about race ?
I doubt seriously that Michelle Obama could teach anything of value to the people of this country, male or female, unless it is socialist in nature, or that the only time it's warranted to love or be proud of your country, is when things happen to be going right for you; like when your husband is ahead in the polls, notwithstanding the fact that you and your husband made $4 million dollars last year living in a country you???re not proud of. Of course, if her husband should lose tomorrow, she'll surely recant and tell us all how terrible this country is and what racists we all are. That I???ve already figured out on my own.
Even John McCain says Obama is not socialist. That's just pathetic.
She DID NOT destroyed a marriage and lived with a MARRIED McCain for 9 month!
She has never been a drug addict, stealing drugs!
She has not been involved in the Keating five which by the way is at the source of economical problems of today!
A woman that get involved with a married man HAS NO MORAL TO ME AND IS NO ROLE MODEL! Palin also cheated her husband with a friend of his but nobody talks about it. BOTH McCain and Palin are CHEATERS! Where are the religious values there?
I take Michelle Obama anytime!
Must add:
She is not a LIAR! Smearing, fear mongering, hate provoking, divisive nasty blasphemies spewer.
When she said Obama was running a sleazy campaign, when her husband will go to history by running the dirties, sleaziest campaign in US history!....
When she said lies about Obama supporting bill cutting support for HER SON, when her hothead husband voted same way.......
When she went to the convention spewing venom with not class regardless of her 300K+ wardrobe, she looked so CHEAP INSIDE!!!!!
Michelle with her modest dress looked more a FIRST LADY THAN HER!!!!!!!!!!! And more BEAUTIFUL INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen!!!!
To Easterniron: Interesting since McCain sought and begged for the endorsement of Rev. Hagee - who touted that the Holocaust was God's way of ridding the world of Jews. Of course, McCain later rejected the same endorsement he had worked so hard to get. Isn't it remarkable that you've forgotten this little tidbit!
role model? after reading her princeton thesis, she's a role model alright---for black racism, hamas, iran and hezbollah.
certainly not a role model for anyone who respects what the Founding Fathers tried to accomplish.
I am sure Princeton (about as American as an institution could get) wouldn't have graduated her if they didn't feel that her thesis wasn't worthy. The beauty of this country is that we have the freedom of speech.
You haven't read it. You've read blogs about it.

And lets not forget the Court, and decisioins like Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005).
What does redistributive mean. Well, remember that it was the liberal Left-Wing Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court that brought us this little jewel, holding that the government could take your real property, like your home, not for public use like a road or school, but to give to another private individual, such as a political contributor or other party hack or interest group. You remember this one.
Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States involving the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another to further economic development. The case arose from the condemnation by New London, Connecticut, of privately owned real property so that it could be used as part of a comprehensive redevelopment plan. The Court held in a 5-4 decision that the general benefits a community enjoyed from economic growth qualified such redevelopment plans as a permissible "public use" under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the majority opinion; he was joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
The decision was widely criticized by American politicians and the general public. Many members of the general public viewed the outcome as a gross violation of property rights and as a misinterpretation of the Fifth Amendment, the consequence of which would be to benefit large corporations at the expense of individual homeowners and local communities. Some in the legal profession construe the public's outrage as being directed not at the interpretation of legal principles involved in the case, but at the broad moral principles of the general outcome.

I AGREE WITH YOUR DESCRIPTION OF.............PALIN!!!
Palin The Wealth Spreader: Gov. Imposed Oil Windfall Profits Tax To Allow Alaskans To ???Share In The Wealth???
"Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans ???share in the wealth??? generated by oil companies:
"And Alaska???we???re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it???s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. ??? It???s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans."
In fact, Alaska???s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) program, which manages the redistribution of oil wealth in Alaska, brings in so much money that the state needs no income or sales tax. In addition, this year ACES will provide every Alaskan with a check for an estimated $3,200."

Role model for what? Free-loading and affirmative action?
Affirmative Action didn't give Michelle straight A's in high school and in college. She had loans like everyone else and just recently paid them off. Free load?
Please..... Role Model? The woman introduced her husband at as "my baby daddy" at the announcement of his presidential candidacy. If that is not telling of how her ethnicity will play in the White House then nothing is. Ms. Obama will polarize this country like no other First Lady before her. That is saying something when you think of Hillary Clinton. An Obama presidency will bring a great divide in our country not seen since the Civil War. 1 year from now Obama will not have as may "fans". This is history repeating itself. Think back to 1976 when Carter was seen as the "messiah". His presidency was the biggest joke in the history of this country. 2010 will see the Repulicans take back control of both the House and Senate and 2012 will see either Romney or Guiliani take back the White House in a landslide. Obama, tax cut for 95% of the country? How exactly does he do that? Think about it, people. Neither candidate this year is the answer for this country but Obama is the lesser experienced candidate. How are we all going to feel on Wednesday when the whole Middle East shows up in the streets to celebrate their "Muslim" brother winning the White House by shooting guns off in the street. As an American, I will be appalled that we have sold out to someone just because he "talks" a good game. Romney/Guiliani 2012.
So she must use *your* vocabulary, otherwise she is racist? She isn't allowed to say the words she says every day, because your sensitivity to it is high, and *she* is interjecting racism?
Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot.
This was a very interesting article. I knew Michelle would be a role model but I never put myself in the black perspective. Then I again I didnt imagine sterotypes either. Maybe its because I'm Jewish and hate to sterotype people. I personally believe Michelle will be a terrific first lady. She will be a champion of all causes no just all white or all black. She will even out her commitments and projects. She will be a great role model for all women and little girls. Now to the other posts-either get a life or if your a paid blogger get a job. We need to come together to get the US out of the crisis it is in. We can divide this nation or unite it. Again loved the article!
How the heck would you know any of this? You are in a dream world, besides I truly don't understand how any Jews could vote for Obama considering his connection to Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan, not to mention his waffling on the future of Jerusalem. I believe that Jews have are the very worst at looking out for their best interests.
People in this country need to wake up, if this has not turned into a racial election then I don't know, I guess the gene pool is getting mightly shallow. This is a woman who was not proud of her country until her husband began his campaign for presidency, give me a break. The woman introduced her husband at as "my baby daddy" at the announcement of his presidential candidacy. She and her husband have managed I am afraid to start a great divide among the different races in this country. At least Cindy McCain is
proud to be an American and loves her country, not to mention she fits the role of a true first lady. She is a fine lady who by far will be a real life role model for any color of woman in this country.
It's easy to love your country when you inherit 100 million dollars just for being born!
Please... Role Model? The woman introduced her husband at the announcement of his presidential run as "my baby daddy". She will be a polarizing figure for this country as will her husband when the "honeymoon period" is over and most of the country realizes what they have done. An Obama presidency will be the biggest debacle since Jimmy Carter's administration. Romney 2012. HIstory is repeating itself. Think back to Reagan's run for office in 1976 then his landslide victory in 1980. Romney will repeat this.
What I love about the Obama's is that no matter how many people try to drag them down (like you are attempting here) they rise above it and stay focused on what's important.
"History is repeating itself." Duh. That's what history does.
But I doubt your perspective on it is particularly astute.
Obama's election bookends Lincoln's service, not Carter's. Of course, Lincoln was contemporarily very unpopular. Obama may be too. But unlike "kill em before they blink" Bush, history will prefer Obama's motives over those of his contemporary detractors.
Are you sure you are a Democrat? Where's your compassion, your belief in ability and capability of people instead of color or ethnicity? Rename yourself because your stance confirms who you really are.

The McCain Campaign: No Role Model
John McCain has proven himself in this campaign to be an angry low road politician who failed miserably to show himself to be a fair and decent individual, with the stature to rise to the Office of the Presidency.
Leading a campaign that (even though major news orgs constantly debunked his ads) almost exclusively resorted to the constant barrage of outright lies, distortions, and the sleaziest of attack ads. Showing himself, instead, to be a little man, he displays a nasty, divisive and confrontational attitude with limited vision and dimension of thinking. He is minimally accomplished as a statesman and, as shown by his own actions, is conspicuously absent of the temperament and the diplomatic and leadership skills necessary to adequately represent and lead this nation in promoting international respect and cooperation on the future world stage.
The United States can do much better than John McCain, On Tuesday, I am betting a majority of the nation will agree.
How to cover a giant forehead and bucked teeth...LOL!!!
Well Rock, your ignorance has no end. This is why you spend so many nights alone with "Ms Palm-er". At least you will never contaminate the gene pool with offspring. Have you been practicing saying "President Obama" like I asked you too? Guess all you have now is to put your hood back on and hold another McCain rally in the woods with the burning cross. Damn it feels good to be a President Obama supporter.
