    Let me get this straight...she didn't want to measure the drapes, but yet Michelle went on with a several-question interview about moving to The White House just before a campaign rally in Akron, Ohio...before the election? The scope of this article tells me she was measuring the drapes.

    Race did play role in this and how can someone think they can run a country that they do not even care to serve and protect. This is the worst day in this great Nations history. This has not done Dr. King proud..

    FROM a black American

      You're as Black as I am.

      Quit lying.

      I am a white woman. And I totally agree with you. I don't see how he could even begin to think about our military or how to keep our country safe. I have a nephew that got back from Iraq last year and still serves today in the Army. I pray since Mr. Obama has never been in the armed forces that he will pray to GOD and ask for guidance. Our military needs guidance from God. Since he don't know how to guide them.

      american011, yeah you're right. This election was about race. Blacks voted for Obama because he was well qualified and represented issues that were important to them (evident because Rev. Jesse Jackson didn't get the same type support from Blacks). White people voted for McCain because Obama was black and McCain was white. Sounds silly doesn't it!

    Food for thought.. The banks have all the money and they are lending any out, so Obama can't give you anything.

  • Posted By: Coloquor @ 11/06/2008 4:20:20 PM

    Hmm . . . I voted for Obama, and I'm a 61 year old white male, a Republican, and a U.S. Navy veteran. Many would have thought that I'd be an automatic lock for McCain, but not so. Obama could have been green, purple, or any other color, as color had nothing to do with it for me. Obama's intelligence, calm countenance, platform, and his strong leadership traits certainly did however.

      why don't you go to a racist site where you can talk to more like you AHuman

    One thing I would like to point out that most of the African Americans in this country seem to have forgotten is that Obama has a WHITE mother; therefore, he is also half WHITE. So, those African Americans who proceed to maybe think they are superior somehow because our president-elect is BLACK, just remember what color his mother is. This is not about superiority, it is about a human being who won an election because the country wanted him to be president, largely due to the current state of our nation. McCain fought a great uphill battle as best he could! Also, for you women out there who are black and forgetting the color of his mother, shame on you for not acknowledging that his mother is white. How would you feel if you had a child with a white man and your child was white skinned and everyone called your child white? It is just disguisting to me - he may have brown skin but he is half white and half black!

      In America becasue he has any black in him he will always be consider a black man. That is the American way always has been and always will be. Don't act like you don't konw that. You see Obama you are not going to say oh look at the white man. Please it has always been that way always!

      • Posted By: I'm just sayin' @ 11/06/2008 4:19:58 PM

        You know what "always will be"? I don't think you can speak for all of America. On the other hand, if you ARE psychic, can you tell me the lotto numbers?

    • Posted By: haleyj12 @ 11/06/2008 4:05:53 PM

      Sure now that he has won he is half white but you and I both know that he will always be seen as black.

    Im with you Rebecca


    For those of you who are not happy with the outcome of this election, stop complaining and blaming and hating. Just MOVE!!! you've got many places that you can go outside of the US if you feel that strongly about Obama being President. Seriously! We have too much to work together on right now to make sure our kids are ok and our future is ok. All this hatred and 'opinions' about things that MOST of these poeple have no idea about in the first place is rediculous! This is the UNITED States of America! Get it PEOPLE, UNITED!!! iIf you dont want to be a part of the solution REGARDLESS of who was elected, then you are part of the problem and you should just do us all a favor and move out of the U.S.! Period! I am sure Canada or Mexico even (if you dont like the cold) would be GLAD to have you!

  • Posted By: tcaraujo @ 11/06/2008 4:19:39 PM

    Black, white, yellow, purple; why is this important? Racist comments like the ones here is what makes America look like sh*** to the rest of the world. If you think that does not matter, you are part of the problem.

  • Posted By: advoidleftists @ 11/06/2008 3:32:06 PM

    Obama bin laden leader of USSA united socialist states of america thats what he doing to us. He has all the black votes no matter what next election no matter if the guy is horrible blacks always vote for their own kind first. because lets say shoe was on other foot and obama was the horrible one and mc cain wasnt and and lets say mc cain was the democrat and obama the republican just like bush and lets say he was like a black bush and still blacks will vote for obama because its color first country second no matter what they want their own kind in office and whats deal with obama picking biden he looks like he going to have heart attack and he looks slow he should of pick hillary but we all know obama wanted black VP but he would get no white votes if he did so he probaly have to stump on his pride and pick white man for VP but this one probaly croke way before mc lame.

    Ahuman is correct this article is about Michelle Obama. Given what you people said about Sarah Palin. Michelle is NOT ready to be First Lady.

  • Posted By: ahuman @ 11/06/2008 3:58:08 PM

    JEEEEZZZZZ !!!! This is ridiculus ..... STOP ALREADY !!! MICHELLE is supposed to be the topic on this "comment box". I wish her all the luck in being able to have her husband around all the time as a "father" to their kids, before and foremost Leader of our country, that's going to be a tough thing for him to be able to acheive, don't you think?

    • Posted By: dragonfly20 @ 11/06/2008 4:18:09 PM

      You are absolutely right! This was supposed to be about Michelle and it has taken quite a turn, especially with the racist comments. The mess we are all in wasn't caused by the Obama's. It was caused by many different factors. One person didn't cause it and one person won't be able to fix it. We all need to try and be more open minded and work together instead of against each other. I wish Michelle and her family nothing but the best!

    • Posted By: I'm just sayin' @ 11/06/2008 4:10:47 PM

      Sorry, she has to put her family life with her husband on hold. He's the President-elect, a position he sought. His country comes first for the next four years. If there's a problem, America takes priority, not helping the kids with math homework. He wanted the job, he got it.

    • Posted By: arkanboy @ 11/06/2008 4:01:57 PM

      what?

  • Posted By: Imreadyru @ 11/06/2008 4:11:22 PM

    What is it that all you people think that Obama is going to give out goodies to all . Don't you realize this country is essentially broke. Just goes to show how ignorant some people are. These are the end times for the whole world and we are going to go throught Haites before the end is here.

    • Posted By: Doc Howl @ 11/06/2008 4:18:07 PM

      "What is it that all you people think that Obama is going to give out goodies to all ."

      The only people who think that Obama is here to "give goodies out" are the dittoheads that have spent so much time listening to Rush Limbaugh that they've forgotten how to think.

      Grow up.

  • Posted By: J-Daniel @ 11/06/2008 3:43:46 PM

    Michelle Obama seems to embody the strong educated black woman.Such women tend to focus on their personhood rather than their feminity.My concern for such women (as I myself am one) is that they can be too opinionated and and impose their opinions on others.So if I had to say one thing to Michelle it would be : girl chill out the academic-ness use that only as a trump card when exteremely necessary .Focus instead on your feminine side work hard on looking beautiful always .Peple already know that youo ar ebright, what they wan t to know is if you are beautiful as well.

    • Posted By: WaitingfortheFuture @ 11/06/2008 4:18:05 PM

      You're right on with the personhood over femininity. But shouldn't we seek a model for femininity of strength and intelligence, rather than physicality?

    • Posted By: Nowsthetime @ 11/06/2008 3:46:22 PM

      What does focusing on your feminity have to do with anything. That is crazy! She is beautiful already. She has a family that loves her that is beautiful

    why is the slavery comment always coming up with the african american culture these days. yes your past was harsh and yes it was a long road to the standing we have now as a free nation. so stop bring up how you were beaten. because you were not beaten. should i complain about how my indian family was drugged across this nations ran off thier own lands. or how my father was deported back to mexico. no. because that is the past and i was not part of that generation. yes i will remember where my family came from and their struggles but i will not boast about it to the nation on how everyone owns us respect. its the 2008 live like it. and i am glad to see a that someone of another race can hold the highest level in this country. and i wish the best to my new commander and chief. for i took an oath to defend him and my country at any cost. no matter his race or gender.

      Wow... learn to spell

      • Posted By: canwegetalong @ 11/06/2008 4:17:46 PM

        I think why it is brought is because it is history. For so long history has been distorted. As an Indian if you don't want to mention this was first your land and it was stolen then fine. If you don't study and learn from your past you repeat the same things over and over again. African Americans refer to slavery because it is shameful and we don't want our ancestors to die in vain. We want to honor and bring rememberance to those who have gone on before us. Also after slavery African Americans were segregated and left out of America. I think what people don't understand that we've only had 40 or so years of making decisions and being included. Just as recently as the early 80's there were some people who opposed Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday for what reason? They were clueless and didn't study their history. Always know your story and history.
