Michelle, On The Move

How dare you all call Mrs. Obama names, etc. If Sen Obama were white, he would have won by a world breaking margin. Yes, some of us were worried that the likes of jesse jackson, rappers, and other "you owe me" people would "WIN". But, we put our country first, and trusted that Obama would address those types just as Bill Cosby has...What better role model for blacks???? A wonderful, educated, father, married, articulate, responsible man. p.s. How many of you hateful people are football and baseball fans?????????/
Don't be a hypocrate.

Such a graceful woman.

HEY ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR TO MICHELLE BEING OUR FIRST LADY FOR THE NEXT TERM AND WISHING HER ALL THE LUCK, WITH ALL THE HARD WORK TO COME, FOR THE 1ST FAMILY LET ME HERE AN ALRIGHT ! THIS DISCUSSION BOARD IS REALLY GETTING OUT OF CONTROL ! GROW UP PEOPLE AND BE ADULTS, k ?

I'm really excited to hear all this talk about expanding national service opportunities and for bolstering existing programs. Bush talked a good game about expanding AmeriCorps, but he didn't back it up with much action at all (other than putting his own silly "Freedom Corps" stamp on it), and the budget actually decreased after he brought it up in his '02 State of the Union address (largely because he wouldn't stand up to the Republican-dominated Congress controlling things at the time). In the wake of 9/11 and the heightened awareness of civic engagement that followed, it was such a wasted opportunity. Here's hoping the next administration/Congress steps up to the plate and follows through with this.

First Lady-elect is worried about moving her daughters, as would any mother. It's time to overcome the anger and hatred that marred this election. We need to show the world that we are united, perhaps for the first time since WWII. Good luck, Mrs. Obama, and blessings to your children.

People think that the grass is always greener on the other side!! Canada & Mexico are also struggling! If you were to get off your soapboxes & put that effort into creating a better solution for all then we would get somewhere! No matter who leads us we have our work cut out for us!!!

I am a white, female, American, that grew up with a very prejudice family. Not just for back people, but all colors of life other than white. I hated my child hood and the way my family treated other people. I joined the US Airf Frce, in 1972, when I was 18 and worked with all people of every color. I loved my Air Force life. I was amazed by how alike we all were, but treated differently. I still to this day, defend my fellow people that are treated differently and am so glad that Barack Obama won this election. I cried with joy, that this most intellegent man had won over our country with his wisdom and self assurance. He is a leader in every since and I think will change this whole world. The ways of American's that are prejudice, will hopfully stand tall for once in their lives and see how wrong they have been. That it is not the color of anyones skin that makes differences, but the wisdom and courage of their hearts. The belief that we can be the greatest country in this world once again. Having freedom for all American's, no matter there color, or race, or religion. I pray every day and night that Barack Obama and his family remain safe and show how we can all get along. I evolved out of something that my family was and so many others still are. I am possitive and will and grace, we all can overcome. Keep praying people that understand what I am saying. God Bless the Obama's, God put them on this earth to make things better. Give them a chance, support them and love them, as you do yourselves.

First Lady-elect Mrs. Obama deserves our respect by sheer fact of her new role. More than that, she is a mother and wife, and of course it's going to be difficult to move in. All this anger and hatred needs to stop. If we want to gain respect with other nations, which we have lost in the last eight years, we need to support our President and Vice-President as best we can. And it's just mean and ignorant to include two young girls in the hatred that being spewed in this conversation.

I have to laugh at you Liberals. You keep saying that we are talking about race. WE are NOT. You and your Left Winged Media keep bringing it up. Peraonally, I don't care. To me he is White. II care about his Left leaning ideas and voting record. I have said a million times, this election is NOT about RACE. As Sting said in the song Russians. " I only hope the Russians love their Children too." I only hope this Country love theirs.
