Michelle, On The Move

not

Some of your comments and just rude, hateful, and mean. You aren't what I would call Americans. Since when does it matter what a person looks likes, the color of thier skin, or anything else. First off I am white...so you can't mistake me for saying anything because I am of the Obama's race. I don't even see color in people. I see the person as a whole. I admire what the Obama's have accomplished in thier lives. I know I wouldn't cut in law school. They are a very loving family. You could see it each time they interacted with each other. Truely happy people don't spew venom. I really feel very sorry for those spewing so much anger and hate. You must be very unhappy, miserable people. If your so ashamed of Americans and America...well leave it. Before you make silly comments you need to make sure you have really investigated the truth. So many of these comments were "rumors" spread during the campain which have no truth to them at all. Frankly I am glad this is all over. I welcome the new President, First Lady, and his family.

I am ashamed of most of the people who have written their opinions in this forum; regardless of which side you are on. I believe calling the other side idiots, morons, etc, only reflects your own narrowness of mind. We as adults should be able to "agree to disagree" without resorting to childish name-calling. I will not even say who I voted for, but I will always support the office of the Presidency; its a tough job and whoever is there needs America's support.

Blaming the entire current economic situation on President Bush is ludicrous; he inherited a great number of problems from the previous administration as did Clinton, etc, etc. Consequently, no matter who you voted for in this election, it is time to step up and support not only your President, but your country. People who resort to name-calling and divisiveness will probably never be persuaded to be anything but that, but the rest of us can move forward. We need to give President-Elect Obama our support.

With all the difficult problems that this country is dealing with, it will be a pleasure to see this beautiful family in the White House. Every now and then, we need to lighten up. Watching these youngsters, a dog, and two people who appear to truly adore each other can't be anything but good and uplifting for our country.

OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT GET OVER IT PLEASE AND HE IS A STRONG EDUCATED BLACK MAN!! AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY STANDING BEHIND HIM!! I BET IF HE WAS WHITE AND FELT THE SAME ON ISSUES ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULDNT BE TALKING RIGHT NOW.. and that is very sad. And for those who say we are at doom and whatever and god bless this country we need it, really GOD I BRINGING US TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY THE DEVIL IS KEEPING THOSE OF YOU DISTANT. Just grow up and come to realize whatever you say Barack Obama is and we will be THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT AND THE MAN OF THIS COUNTRY!

could care less... it is people like you that will always be raceist ,,, it is 2008, i understand that there will always be raceisum in this country no matter what .. but the 20 something year olds in this country, dont see color of peoples skin, so we as 50 somethings have taught our children right. unlike our parents, back then if you were not white it was horrible in the 40's and 50's and 60's... for our black americans... we all in 2008 should be proud, that a 106 yr old black women who obama spoke about voted , how said her younger years must have been. but raseisum will always be here due to ignorance of so many who have not let it go...

As in any contest, there will always be a winner and someone who doesn't win. Whether your choice for candidate won is no longer the issue. Both men were willing to put themselve out there to run for office and eventually fulfill the obligations of the office. We (the public) must do what we can to support our new leader and his family in the assumption of their duties.

Race-baiting, name calling, and maintaining divisive attitudes will do nothing to help them or us. These kind of responses demean us all. If we want to regain the respect of the free world, we must act, speak, and live respectably.

This is a new era in American politics and American life in general. I pray for all of us, especially those taking on these new responsibilities whether they are leading or supporting.

chris5209 - you really need to seek medical help ~ maybe see if you can get on Zanax. You're going to give yourself a heart attack. Hide your money in your mattress if you're that worried. Wars cost money and I'll gladly pay taxes to keep America safe but it's a shame to hear you don't spread any of your so called... hard earned wealth to fund America's Safety from Terrorists!!!!!

I don' t understand how it is, that the only thing being discussed is the race of the president and his family. The truth of the matter is, we should be focusing on things that really matter:
1. The education of our children.
2. The economy
3. Bringing home our soldiers.
ECT....................... The list is very long.
I am so tired of all of the B.S. having to do with race. The fact remains that in periods of time, white people owned slaves, African kings sold these people into slavery, and so on and so fourth.... That is history. I doubt that very few people from that era in time are still alive. The African American people in this country are Americans, so are the whites, chinese, indian.... if you live in America and believe in the values of one nation under God, and freedom than you are an American. I proudly served our country in the US NAVY during Desert Storm, and alot of my family served in previous wars, when will we learn that ignorance is not bliss, only ignorance. What Michelle decides to wear or how she dances on the Ellen show is not important. The things that she does for the country will be. I did not vote for Obama not because he was black, but because I think he lacked the experience to do what needs to be done for this country. I hope with everything in me that he proves me wrong. I wish him and his family the best and hope for the countries sake that he is able to step up and make the changes that need to be made. People please stop discussing race and start discussing things that are important until race is no longer an issue this country will never be truely free.
God Bless our new President and his family.... and Good luck.

It matters not whether you voted for President elect Obama. Like he said, to those who didn't vote for him. "I will be your president too"

America voted for him, and by America I mean the melting post comprised of all races. Barack Obama is now your president, no form of whining, complaining, hating etc., can undo that. Congratulations to the Obama and Biden family. Way to go Democrats!
