    I guess I must have mis-read this article. I don't recall reading anything about race, religion, winners or lossers - just a woman who is concerned about raising two young girls under a microscope for being the daughters of our president-elect. I am glad Michelle Obama is concerned about family first - something that seems to be fogotten in today's fast paced society. Asking someone elses advice about what to expect when they move into the fish bowl shows a caring, mature woman willing to listen to someome who already has been there and done that. This wasn't about campaign promises, party platforms, or any of the other "stuff" that has been posted here. This is about a woman who was a mother and an activist for causes close to her heart LONG before wife of a Presidental Candidate became household words. And no, I did not vote for Obama.

    nthing. Tradition ascribes that the family of the head of any body of defense that safeguards the security of a nations shores, live simply and in humility and deference to those they serve. That is typically why, when a ship is sinking, the captian is the very last one to get off it. He helps his wife and children last, after the families of all the other crew are sent safely on their way. That is the way of a gentleman, and a human being who deserves the highest respect.

      Ohhhh, kinda like the "humble" way that Bush & family, and the Cheneys live. The kind of humility that owns ALL of the NO-BID defense contracts in Iraq. Ohhhh, that type of humility. I get it.

      Gimme a f*cking break!!

Thta' is so awfull !!!! Stop and think about it! !!! The fact Obama won for Presidency is a strong spiritual sign to me he did not came from God because he goes against God in many of the things he believes in. "Abortions, Gay marriages and whatever is going to come ahead of us....God want us to have Faith in what is Divine and not in Obama, like many are thinking.... is to make believers of the Holy spirit more strong than ever !!!! All those horrible things Obama believes in are all "man made" issues and is not something that comes from above. God is Perfection and Holy !!!! All what is happening right now is to try to destroy "WHAT IS HOLY" ( The Nature of the Beast) and unfortunetelly, most people can't see it !!!!! But the HIGHER POWER will show its POWER at the right time and will slash hard on all those who goes against THE ONES WHO DO NOT FEAR GOD'S POWER !!!!

    Some one said here to my comment about Malia and Shaha living in Chicago and their father coming down whenever possible from his schedule - his work in the service of our country for which he is amply rewarded both above and under the table - to see them. Someone said that it was a laughable idea. Why, I ask when a large part of the working class in the country does just that? Work, during work hours, days weeks or months - army, navy, airforce, dockyards, factories, power plants, bakeries, clinics, schools - work during work and leisure when one can? Why is the President to be immune from such rules, such rigors of life? Why, when we working folk can stay away from our husbands and our wives and our daughters and our sons, to earn our bread and theirs - why can the President not? What need is there for these kids to live in DC? Why does Social Seurity, or Secret Service Security, have to help get his wife and kids to safety in the even of any bad thing happening. Are the rest of this nation's citizens basically just second class? Aren't our leaders supposed to look after us first? Help us out before looking after their own safety and that of their family? Besides - Why do these kids need to be uprooted from what is obviously their beloved Chicago home, friends and large family? What usefulness are they adding - what value, let us say - in this age of 'transformation and change' - to the Presidential office? Obama's wife can take good enough care of them. She should stay in Chicago. Why drain us the taxpayers, our money, our hard-earned income, by relocating ? Does she really need to be stuck to her husband's side? He is the President (elect). He has work to do. She has social coffee mornings. In this time of severe economic crises, what is the relevance of a coffee morning exactly? Do we need to see her in her expensive designer clothes - taken from our paychecks, notwithstanding any denial dramas - on so much as a weekly basis even? Do we need to see those kids? No. We do not. The American taxpaying oublic does not. Michelle is not a part of Obama's cabinet. Neither are Shassa and Malia. Do we really need to bother with them then? He, Obama, harped on and on about change, yelling it from the rooftops. Now let's see change.

    • Posted By: Blue in AZ @ 11/10/2008 11:48:29 PM

      I think what you are really saying here is that this black family has no place in the White House. Why do you hate black people? If it were John McCain's WASPy family((except for the adopted one, every politician needs one) would you advocate them staying in AZ? This is the change you think we need? Keep the little black girls from playing on the White House lawn? Put your hood back on and go home to KlanLand.

      You sound insane. If he was to leave his family behind you would have something to say about that in your ranting. Soldiers and all the others you listed make a choice to leave their families to serve our country or make a living for their families. In most cases, when a soldier is not going in harm's way, they do take their families with them wherever they are stationed. They just don't take them to war. unless you work for a family business, every American leave their family for hours a day, and so will President elect Obama. If you were in office, you would leave your children behind when you can bring them with you. What type of parent are you? No matter where they are secret service will protect them. It will be necessary more than ever because of people who think like you. Where you ranting about the secret service protecting Barbara Bush, Hilary Clinton and first lady Bush? Did you write to your government and ask why those first ladies had the opportunity to live in the White House? Oh my, probably not. People like you are such hinderances to our nation with all of your hatred. America should be progressing instead digressing.

      Why the hell should he? What, he should listen to some partisan hack on Newsweek, and trash his family?

      Obviously, he isn't going to do that. He's going to be inaugurated, and be president, with his kids at the White House.

      Sorry if that makes you mad.

      Too bad nothing you say is. Why is it that the rudest, angriest people always start quoting God? People like you are the reason atheism is making a comeback. I don't think God or Jesus would be very happy to have you using them to push your agenda.

  • Posted By: glam @ 11/08/2008 10:37:24 PM

    Change? Yes, he has changed. And pretty quick too. He's backtracking already on the Iraq withdrawal issue. His lips are getting shut on the insanity of Bush's stimulus package, seeing as he is proposing to float more inflation himself -and he's gone stone deaf about Gitmo. His decision to go after the Taliban in Pakistan is now by hiring a group of Pakistani security advisors at $200k a piece to tell him to go after Kashmir instead, where there are no Taliban. He's writing love-notes to Iran and making midnight calls to Saudi Arabia already. The new consumer powers - China and India, he's totally ignored, plus the fact that Chna owns a lot of the US now, and India is our latest most expensive nuclear power handbag. He's dangling carrots before grandkid Georgia instead of calling on grandfather Russia, who really calls all the (gun)shots in that part of the world. HIs own grandmother died, and he didn't even care to say he wished she could have seen his victory in his dismissal (to his fans) speech that night. And he's conveniently forgotten his "beloved auntie Zeituni", who was a part of the $4 million in revenues from his audacious writing escapades, and who is now facing severe hunger poverty and deportation in some project housing in the US. What a wonderful man Obama seems to be. And what a wonderful way to spend America's money his wife and kids have found. A blank check is just that. What a wonderful way to describe you and me.

      I sure am glad that most of the American people are unlike yourself extremely judgemental and critical. I suppose the old saying goes you are a reflection of those around you and you must have been under a lot of criticism and well as disapproval growing up. I am so please to see the unity and hope that this extraordinary man has brought about offering us hope for a better future. Of course there will always be people like yourself that can't accept him for one reason or another. You do know you are a minority with your thoughts on Obama. You did see the crowds that gathered around him did you not?

  • Posted By: memphis_65 @ 11/10/2008 7:11:53 PM

    The great thing about Obama and Michelle is that you can easily see their commitment to rise above the negative comments. What people don't seem to understand is that they both have years of experience dealing with negative people, but through it all they still see the good and positive in people.

    But regarding all of the negative comments, I wonder whether people are more afraid that President Obama will fail, or more afraid that he will be a great success. Because when he succeeds as President, then how can they continue to say that he wasn't qualified?

    Here it goes AGAIN : To DOC Blah,Blah and the famous republican who wants to kiss the Democratics rear end (excuse me?) , BELINDA !!!

    You know something DOC, did you work for the OBAMA campaign as their personal advisor ??? NO, or otherwise you will not be Online here talking to the American people!!! . Of course her dress was purchase with money that did not came from her own pocket!!! Duuuuuhhhh...she was buying $30.00 dresses before and suddenly comes a $3,500.00 bill for that Ugly Dress!!! She probably bought using the Democratic Campaign funds, BUT NOW she will be using the US Treasury money OK !!!! I hope she uses tax payers money more wisely in choose her wardrobe because now She the President's WIFE and NOT a Senator's WIFE anymore !!!! She will be representing a wealthy nation and AT LEAST she shoulded look MORE PRESENTABLE !!!! Give me a break, just because you are a dark color person and OBAMA is Half-black doesn???t mean you will defend them in every ridiculous things they will do it. Get a grip and try to see the picture from the outside your African- American Bubble mind !!! I don't have mine stuck in a Brazilian "bubble mind??? and that???s why I???m open minded enough to come here, work hard, become a citizen and not send all the money I make in the U.S. back to the country I was born, like many other people DO !!! I live here and I???m 100% proud American since the day of my OATH! I can speak what I think If in any ways I could help the country I live now to be a better place for all Americans and not only for the OBAMAs AND THEIR CREW !!!! Whatever I write is my personal opinion as you write yours ... and that's why this forum is about and for the American people give their opinions and their free Speech of what they think. About all this. I???m a LEADER and NOT A FOLLOWER like many , so I need to be heard like ANY other American too for the sake of this country !!!! I'am not the ONLY one who are saying Michelle???s dress was not a good choice. Of course, she will wear whatever she wants to and she will be one looking ridiculous "tasteless" for an U.S.A. First lady spending the same amount of money the other first ladies DID!!! !!! I personally really admire Michelle Obama and think she has class, speaks well and is very intelligent, but she definetely needs a GOOD advice with her wardrobe choices. I???m sure that will happen because "Halloween" already passed...I think she can do MUCH BETTER ABOUT HER WARDROBE INSTEAD OF WEAR THOSE TIGHT DRESSES! SHE WANTS TO BE A SEX SYMBOL OR SHE WANTS TO BE AN EXAMPLE FOR MANY WOMEN, AS OUR NEW FIRST LADY ????? PERSONALLY, I THINK SHE SHOULD LOOK AND ASK ??? CONDOLEZA RICE ??? FOR WARDROBE ADVICES, INSTEAD OF BEING IMPRESSED BY HILLARY CLINTON !!!

    Belinda, your point is that just because you or others are unaware of the clothing "allowance" for past first families, we ought to let it go and allow this new first family to continue to fleece the American taxpayer? Even after the platform of CHANGE and A NEW KIND OF POLITICS that they rode in on? So we are all just cows available to be fleeced at the drop of a hat, just because it is convenient for someone at the top to do so, and just because we simply don't KNOW? If that is the kind of brainless - or rather, brainWASHED - logic that brought Obama tha White House on a silver platter, then I want no part of it. No sensible human being should.

    It is not whether he is white or back or green or purple that matters. What matters is that he has made certain promises, certain guarantees in a way (of change and a new way of doing things -a new dawn - his own words, not anyone else's ), that he is already getting ready to turn his back on. Power corrupts, and especially when it gets inside an empty vessel.

      I assume you complained just as bitterly when Nancy Reagan decided to spend a few hundred thousand on new China for the White House?

      Or when Bush decided he had to play dressup and fly out to a carrier on a jet?

    You now what, Belinda you can say...whatever about my "English", because I know that despite my writtings are not in perfect English spelling or grammar rules ( specially when I type fast) , I STILL GETTING MY MESSAGE ACROSS.THE BOARD.... DEAR !!! I think, I could be a very good President, if I could for to be ONE , because I don't need to use money from the working people to maintain fancy dinners and expensive dresses (that look like a Halloween custome!) or put my kids in the most "expensive" schools, in order to run a Country with so much potential into the RIGHT DIRECTION !!!! The main problem LIES that "most people in DC" wants only to fill their pockets instead of do their important jobs and has been proven many times.....and happen in every country too ! Also many others keep themselves in Welfare for forever for the "dumiest" reasons and lack of self steem!!!! We ,the "workers", as I can say, are the ones "paying" the higher prices and nothing gets DONE !!!!! Many "veterans from wars" cannot afford to survive and many younger people claiming for " disability" for the most stupid reasons by making up fake pains to doctors . They LOVE to get so fat and end up having Medicaid to pay for their Heart conditions LATER, because is FREE !!!! Many love to smoke so much and get too fat BY IGNORANCE because the Governmnet pays for it!!! If they have money for cigarrets and potao ships everyday ,they are feeding bad habits for the Governmnet to maintain and take advantage!!!! So definetly, we could conclude , they could afford a place to live, instead of going and depend also on
    SECTION AID or 8 ( I don't even know what is right!) and all that blah,blah blahhhh . Many people don't even try to get out of they Couches and do better for themselves and that's why we have so many Fat people in this country and make us LOks as LOOSERS in front of many other nations ! We need to be the GOOD example as a Great Nation and not what we see happening.....Maybe the fault in not in Obama or in any President ,but in most of the people who takes ADVANTAGE of the U.S. TREASURY for granted and is spoinling the American Dream for others !!!! Personaly ,that is the BIG Change that needs to happen and not depend " SOLELY" in the new President, because he can's make evry citzen get out and go to work to feel better about themselves !!! You will have to do it yourself !!!!!
