    Maybe now it's clear why the Republican Puppets are limited to Parroting Hannity, Morris and Limbaugh. When they have an original thought , the best they can come up with is, Micheele has big teeth or Michelle has a fish mouth. yuk! yuk! That's a good one Goober! yuk! yuk! yuk! the future of the republican party of Hate is in good hands!

    On topic, the reality is that Michelle Obama is NOT attractive. She's in Vogue because she is now, indirectly, politically powerful, and also because of "competitive altruism" - its editors can now brag about how sensitive and inclusive they are.

        Face facts. She has enormous slab-like teeth, giving her a ferocious look, not at all pretty and feminine.

      Your bitterness is palpable.

    I wish inner city blacks would stopping speaking for those of us that did not. grow up there.
    I group up a small town that was mostly white. I have never heard that blacks with lighter skin were treated better. I also have no negative feelings towards whites. While I have experinced rascism , I don't think that the majority of whites feel that way because most of my experinces have been positive. I think people are people and if you give them a chance they will give you one also.

      I think you're right that white people don't see the difference. the sponsors of TV and Media obviously do. It's cahnging but take a closer look at who the contributors are to Fox, MSNBC and CNN . I'm not saying their less qualified, they're not but they are mostly light skinned. Fox also has an obsession with Blondes.

      Here's a blonde joke: A blonde hears on the news that 2 brazilians were killed in a skydiving accident. She said it was a disaster and then asked, How many are in a Brazilian?

      Your personal experiences make me happy. I only wish for the time when color "hadn't" been a factor at all. We can all work toward that. Our President has helped and will continue to do so.

    What Michelle Obama means to all of us is that she is a role model for a intellectually, emotionally and spiritually mature human being. On top of that she is beautiful, brilliant and a lovely person. Jane Iddings, Blogger, GrowUpNow.info and BarackObamaRealMaturity.com

    My sister in law said Michelle's face looks like a fish. It's true. Her mouth makes her look like a grouper.

      That's mean...and childish.

    The writer of the article on Michelle Obama does a great diservice to her when she states that she is African American and brown skin.. Referring to her as brown skin is trying to place her in a different category. The catergory is that of light skinned and dark skinned balck people. When American s of all races voted for Barack Obama they saw leadership. Then why would someone return to the dark ages and refer to her compexion. She is classy, elegant and eloquent.
    If a white person would have written the article we as black people would have screamed racism.

  • Posted By: brooksp @ 11/24/2008 8:40:21 PM

    The writer of this article seems to want to classify Michelle Obama as being brown and therefore different. Why do we as balck people always want to define each other as being light skin and dark skin. Does the shade of one's skin make them more accepteable?. If the article was written by a white individual then we would be screaming racism. Michelle Obama is a black women that is classy, elegant and eloquent. What more do we need. The writer does her a great diservice to Michelle Obama..

    Michelle O is an Aferican American??? What part of Afraica's she from?

    If color REALLY doesn't matter and this family will move into the White House because they are qualified to do the job, why do ya'll keep celebreating Michelle's blackness?

    Make up your mind, is it racest or endering to call her black? You can't have it both ways. . .

  • Posted By: KayCee @ 11/24/2008 6:04:37 PM

    Carney, wake up and smell the roses. We lost in Iraq the day we put boots on the ground. NO western nation has succeeded in a middle eastern war. Ever. Want a good lesson in history? See: Crusades. They bankrupted every European nation that participated, except for the Republic of Venice that was like the Haliburton of the middle ages. Benefit to all those bankrupted nations? NONE. So, what about Iraq? See: History repeats itself.

    • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/24/2008 6:16:02 PM

      Do not attempt to use reason with Carney, it is fruitless. Carney has one speed, Bush speed. Same old rhetoric, "if you are not with us, you are against us", if you say iraq was a mistake, you are not patriotic, and do no hoor our military".

      Very programmed to respond, lacks the ability to think outside the programming. LAcks historical context and spouts used up lies, and is laughable.

          Ya, then they might get the idea that we aren't all pusssyyy liberals. Like how does it feel to be looking up from the ground tough guy, and is that a bloody lip you have.

    It's a shame this discussion board has been hijacked by those who vocally favor defeat for America and victory for the throat slitters, market mortarers, toy giveaway bombers, and internet beheaders, and who echo the most vile and paranoid enemy propaganda about how the United States is an evil lying aggressor. Oh but we must never question their patriotism!

    • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/24/2008 5:11:32 PM

      You are a blind fool to say anybody is promoting defeat. We are promoting good judgement and American Values, not some inept plan to stay in power by expanding the war in the middle east by going for what was thought to be low-hanging fruit.

      Sorry my friend, I do not promote ignorance when it comes to putting our soldiers into harms way. If you want to stay thier fine, but this country is not a jock bully hypocrate, those days are over hopefully, and your mentality is a relic that children look at and say, 'wow, I can't wait to get out of my parent's house, they are fuking clueless".
      Nobody on this board is vocalising defeat. They are looking at our leaders and saying they are criminals. They are knowing that Iraq was a blunder, and many saw it coming, i know I did.

      Actually, I am for a smart and strong America, not a weak and inept government that covers up it's ignorance and amongst many other criminal acts.

      • Posted By: Carney @ 11/24/2008 5:52:54 PM

        Our enemies in Iraq have vowed to drive us out, and boasted that despite our wealth and might we do not as a nation have the grit and toughness to deal with casualties, that we lack the staying power. Everyone who argues for a government that orders our troops to shamefacedly flee the battlefield in contention by definition supports defeat for America and victory for our enemies, however heatedly he denies it in order to avoid looking bad in debates, and in the mirror.

        • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/24/2008 6:25:37 PM

          Who argues for our troops to shamelessly flee??? That is the rhetric from Bush and the Neocons.

          There is no win or loss. The whole reason we were there is disgraceful and a lie. This is not a conventional war, we occupied a country you baffoon!

          You act like we were defending something. You are in denail and are part of the mental sickness that our country is finally purging.

          You act so tough and brave and so Patriotic, and you are niether. Your rhetoric is that of bullies that use excuses when they are exposed.

          The lie was exposed, and we are in Iraq. There is no win or loss, there is only getting out with as much honor as possible. And we are so lucky for the Sunni uprising, or we would still be caught between them and faux al qaida...

        • Posted By: 40YearR @ 11/24/2008 6:01:49 PM



          So why didn't you address this comment to Bush?

  • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 11/24/2008 5:14:23 PM

    no 40YR, I could be saying that could I? I'm saying i know guys that are irritated by what they view as reverse discrimination or affirmative Action on steroids, where Municipal and State jobs have gone to African Americans and Whites has been shut out. This could cause a person feeling like that to be less likely to vote for Barack Obama. I wouldn't consider them racist.To me a Racist is a person that thinks an African American is inferior to the White Race. I also don't think those who want to stop legal immigration is necessarily aimed at a race. They may be concerned that there own way of life is in jeopary. I wish we could define Racist as a person who is a believes their Race is Supreme to all others. It would severely change things here where everyone plays the race card.

      Sorry Repubssuck, I was wanting to make a joke with you, and I can see that I failed misserably. So ya know, I respect you and your posts as a fisherman I know... Then there's Doc Howl too. Please accept my apology.

      • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 11/24/2008 6:11:53 PM

        Not at all, i did take it as a joke. i just wanted to provide a little background to my original thought be good.

    Comment: "You can pontificate all you want to me regarding Clinton and how I must be a fearful person because I feel safer than I did on 9/11, but you are way out of line mocking anyone who fell for the "snake oil" mentality of fighting overseas. Thousand of men and women have died for this cause, and millions more STILL believe in it. Are they "utter morons" as well?

    You can think you are better than me if you want, but I can't accept you putting yourself above the heros that have died for your freedom that you find as worthless as snake oil".


    No heroes died for my freedom in Iraq. You are really not very in touch are you? Iraq did not threaten our freedom, was never even close to be in that position. SO NO, the "heroes" died needlessly, and that is why I hate the fact that you support our incursion into Iraq.

    YOUR COMMENTS AMOUNT TO SUPPORTING THE NEEDLESS DEATH OF OUR PROUD FIGHTING FORCES!

    Get in touch with reality. Bush sent them in to die for political reasons. They died, their parents and siblings suffer, all in the name of politics and lies. AND YOU SUPPORTING THE LIES AND DECPETION PUTS THEIR DEATHS ON YOUR SHOULDERS TOO! If that is how you justify it fine, but I see your mentality as the most yellow, and unpatriotic, and down right criminal as it gets.

    Is that what I am doing??? That is the same crp I hear from the out of touch. I support the troups and am really sick tghat they have to deploy to a country that never attacked us, and lose thier lives over a political play by our government.

    Troups do what they are told, and the president is supposed to be Commander, although this one basically gave that job to Patraeus.

    • Posted By: katocha @ 11/24/2008 3:59:06 PM

      I am part of America's proud fighting forces, and I believe we are doing the right thing keeping the war over seas and away from my family and friends. I would much rather be sent to the desert to protect what I love than have it come onto MY soil. And don't comment on topics that you have no real knowledge about besides what liberal feeds to you. Just because you have no way to see what's going on because it's not on your grounds or your carreer field doesn't mean that no threat exists there.

      • Posted By: 40YearR @ 11/24/2008 5:47:34 PM



        Just tell me which S.O.B.s we killed were about to come and get us. Heard alot about that, and a whole lot more BS, before the war...

        Assuming you are who you claim to be, you have our thanks. But, for all you've done, I don't think you've ever been in a position to know we were justified sending you in. If you have that knowledge, please share with us verifiable facts.

      • Posted By: Horrible Bastard @ 11/24/2008 4:48:51 PM

        How does the war in Iraq protect America? What, did Saddam have landing craft off of New Jersey, and Bush invaded just in the nick of time? Or are you one of those who believes that Iraq was behind the 911 attacks?

        Spare us the drama, Katocha. Iraq never posed any threat whatsoever to America. You were used, and every American, Englishman, etc, that died in Iraq died for nothing at all. So how does it feel to basically be the descendent of the East India Company, being used as fodder for the bottom line of corporations like Halliburton...because that's all your sacrifices are for. You are a dupe.

      • Posted By: whatisreal? @ 11/24/2008 4:25:11 PM

        Okay, but since there was no threat of Iraq on our soil your whole justification is empty. If it was so justified we would be in North Korea, they are a "real" threat, and we went into Iraq. Sorry, but you may be in the armed forces, but I wouldn't rely on you fo leadership, nmore to do whatyou are told, do your job soldier.

        I would expect nothing less.

        I absolutely understand what is on the ground. I know many on the ground there and communicate with them daily.

        Your whole mentality is really whaty is left of a mind after it has been reprogrammed

    Ok, I've sent an email through Newsweek's leters to the editor. At least it will be read. i outlined every problem I'm aware of., rejected comments, multiple postings and the ridculous light gray font on a white background. I found the letters tot he editors at the bottom of the home page. It also is a light gray on white but if you click on it you're get an email page. If you're not busy, how about sending a few more. I'm off until repairs are made. Happy Turkey Day, even to you Republicans with their heads up Old Rushbo's butt.

    For all that still think we went into Iraq so we didn't have to fight them here. You are sadly in support of one of the most criminal undertakings this country has ever done.

    For those in the military that support the Iraq bungle, well I can understand why you have to be in denial about it. Who would try to justify the collosal mistake and die for it. You have to get your head into "we are fightingfor our freedom" mode. If you don't then how could you possibly fight in good concience. I don't blame you for that, I blame your government for letting you down, adn putting you in a place that you should have never been. I am proud of your service, and saddened by your sacrifice in fighting over a lie that was purpetrated for political reasons.

  • Posted By: DeepThought_Junkie @ 11/24/2008 4:04:12 PM

    This is so true, but not discussed in mainstream media. The first time I saw Barack Obama in 2004 at the Democratic Convention, I thought yeah he's cool. Then I saw his wife, not only was she Black...she was brown skin. A successful Black man not afraid to have a Black woman on his arm. Its a great symbol to little brown girls like myself.

  • Posted By: shoegirl @ 11/23/2008 12:08:04 PM

    I am a white female and I think this article is so demeaning to Michelle Obama. Are you sure you and your lunch friends didn't have too much to drink and think that Cindy McCain is going to be First Lady so you are bashing Mrs. Obama. You need a reality slap in the face.....Michelle Obama is "cool" in a way I'm sure none of you and your friends will ever be. Oh yea, next time check your facts. Michelle does NOT work out every single day...usually 3 times per week.

    • Posted By: Repubssuck @ 11/23/2008 12:40:51 PM

      As a person who has a Shoegirl for my lady, I like your name. Don't worry about Michelle, it's her intellegence that frightens them It's a Republican theme and except for the Republican Women that are afraid to open their mouths around their idiot husbans, the women respect Michelle for what she has accomplished and for the large part she will play in the Obama Whitehouse. The GOP is used to their first ladies major accomplishment as being limited to the selection of the Whitehouse dinnerware and reading books to children

      • Posted By: katocha @ 11/24/2008 3:49:43 PM

        Why do you think that all repub. women are afraid of their husbands? I'll tell you that's extremely far from reality! I am repub and i am very feminist but also have MORALS which causes me to swing to the left. NOT my husband (which happens to be pretty liberal), I will never be a housewife, even though not having to work for a living sounds great, and I will never shudder in fear of my husband, and I don't think that any of my republican (female) friends feel that they have to cower in front of their husbands political beliefs... I feel like half of your posts her are bashing repub women isntead of actually talking about the terrible article written about Mrs. Obama
