What Michelle Can Teach Us

A role model should not have to resemble you physically to be an inspiration. Although Ms. Obama has accomplished much in her short life, many others before have excelled in breaking down real barriers without the assistance of a charismatic and powerful spouse. Research groundbreaking women and you'll find all ethnicities are represented - and take your inspiration from the fact that so many before you have done so much to pave the way for the greater good. Close your eyes to color and open your mind to character and benefit from ALL of their experiences.

WY WOULD I WANT THIS WOMAN AS A ROLE MODEL, SHE HAS PUT AMERICA DOWN, COOK FOR TERRORISTS, PREACHING LITTLE GIRLS ABOUT HOW AMERICA HAS NOTHING TO OFFER , FRIEND OF SATAN'S FOLLOWERS. IS THIS WHAT WE WANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR HUMANITY, OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN? YOU LIBERALS ARE DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES.

I agree that Michelle Obama would be a great role model, not just for African-American women, but for us Caucasian women as well and for all other minorities in this country. As a country we sincerely need to be color-blinded. We would be so much more effective. We need to hold people accountable for their actions or lack thereof, not for their race.

I agree with the journalist that wrote this column, I also feel that we should be able to operate as one America!!!. What I find interesting is how white people comment that they want blacks to take care of their children and not be on welfare, this just shows how racist and stereotypical some whites are, whether it be because of the media or a white persons lack of knowledge about the black community. Most of us do work and take care of our children and are not single mothers but married. There are a few just like there are a few white women who are on welfare and continue to have child after child, but we as blacks don't view them as white people who don't want to take care of their children do we? No we don't most of us feel that certain circumstances place us were we are and while we don't agree on continued support we feel that everyone needs a hand at one point or another because we know waht a struggle is. I think it is extremely unfair for you to view as in this manner. Things are five times harder for us as Black Americans and this is true no matter what way you look at it but we are still making it regardless of what you see and what the media reports that is a small fraction of who we are.. While I do feel that Michelle will be a great role model for all women black, white, brown, young and old I don't think that you as white people should be mad that we take pride in her being Black. This is something that we have never had the chance to see, and when you think about anyother Black person that has made a contribution to allow us the freedoms that you and your ancestors have had all your lives you will find that they were murder for fighting the causes that have placed Michelle and Barack were they stand today. So I ask white people to try to get to know REAL black people, I know you work with us? You will find that we have the same issues as you. This is not to all the white women and men who understand were i am coming from I know you are out there because I know a few of you.

regarding Cindy McCain---didn't she steal another woman's husband away from her. They had three children together I think (Carol McCain). She built her family life on somebody else's tragedy. She was born into privilege---is gorgeous and basically just got anything she wanted (including someone else's husband) and how does she deal with all that...she became a drug addict. Michelle, like her husband, is someone you can admire...not like the McCains.

Yes, why be devided. one America, but the blacks still want Miss Black America even with blacks ub the Miss America contest. We need the blacks to take charge of there own lives and join in on earning not welfare which I am afraid Obama is just wanting all of us poor folks black and white to go on or stay on wlefare. We want independence from all that. Give us a good job, have one America Michelle Obama seems to want to do just for the black women not all women !!

black america, white america, what happend to one america...?one united states of america. why cant michelle be a role model to all women, or all americans, or everyone with a will to succeed?
no, its all about black america. i bet mrs obama doesnt wake up every day and look in the mirror and say oh, its monday - time to represent african american women, i bet she looks in the mirror and sees..michelle!

There is something very dark about Michelle, and I'm not talking about her skin. She is hiding something along with hubby Osama, and it's to comprehend how they make be the new residents at the WH. They both electd to follow one of the most anti-American leaders for 20+years, then found anti-American friends and neighbors to do regular business with and corrupt poiticians, I mean come on already, what more do you need. Wake up and smell the chicken before it's too late

Comment: THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that
Stand up and hold them accountable
Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
Elect Obama Biden 2008






Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

To: Liberty2u (why don't you use "to") I forgot, you're 12 years old. And an osama & newsweak junkie. Frankly, little girl or boy, I'm looking forward to osama winning. He's going to save the world and all mankind! Isn't that correct?

Everyone gets angry once in awhile, that human nature.
I look at the person as a whole, just not the angry part.

You could very well say that about McCain & Palin as well.

So what's your point? Truth will be told
