Mrs. Obama has always been blessed. She came from a two parent middle class family who valued education. She won scholarships to Ivy League universities. She has by all appearances a husband who doesn’t run around on her and two healthy children. She has a cushy over paid job. She needs to express some gratitude or stfu.

Adam, I would like to add a few more names to that list, such as George Soros and Nadhmi Auchi, his half-brother Abongo “Roy” Obama who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim, and that his advisor Zbigniew Brezinski was visiting with Syrian officials a few weeks ago.
The closer one looks, the more blemishes are visible.
And that’s not even mentioning his Marxist view of the role of government, and budget busting policy proposals.

I started off thinking Obama might be worth supporting. The more I see and hear, the more I realize that he is a radical, racist, America hater. He surrounds himself with racists (his wife and pastor) but then tries to act like HE doesn’t actually believe this stuff. Hey, racism can be black against white. It isn’t always the other way. If you listen to what HIS church preaches, it’s clear that Obama hates America and hates white people.
And his crap about not being judged by what they say doesn’t fly. If my pastor started spewing the type of crap that his pastor says, I’d leave that church mid sermon. Clearly Obama agrees with the message or he wouldn’t have kept going there for years.
It is a shame. I started off thinking Obama could be a great uniter. Now I see him for what he really is. If he was white, we would all be calling him a huge racist who hates America. But since he’s black, we let the hatred slide without comment.

Obama’s church founded on radical creed

The church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses “the destruction of the white enemy.”

Trinity United Church of Christ’s Web site says its teachings are based on the black liberation theology of James H. Cone and his 1969 book “Black Theology and Black Power.”

Poor Barack. He wanted to become a Christian and accidentally walked into the Church of Hatred, starring the multi-millionaire Rev. Wright whose ego is so big he can barely get through the church door. Given his choice of friends, pastor and wife, I am not impressed with Barack Obama. I think Hillary is a snake, but I’d rather see her back in the white house than Michelle “I Hate My Country Because $4,000,000/Year Is Not Enough For Me” Obama. I guess I have no choice in November except for John “Bomb Iran” McCain. But unlike Mrs. O, I am very proud of my country. And I don’t make $4 mil a year, and my husband isn’t going to be nominated for president.

The truth is that no one ever heard of Obama until his campaign hired a half-naked young girl (who also didn’t know who Obama was) to wiggle her stuff and sing “I’ve got a crush on Obama.” This is hardly the type of advertising befitting a president. However, he will get my vote if he runs for Mac Daddy of the Year.

I live in Quebec City, Canada, and I’ve been following your current presidential race with great interest. I want to say, I’m still young, and I would very much like to live and work in the U.S., some day… which is why I don’t want to see someone unqualified as president in the White House ; someone who would mess up your economy, and who would give America an EVEN “BLACKER” FLAVOR !

I mean, forgive me for saying this a bit crudely, but I think america is black enough already: that particular minority represents about 12% of your total population, still watching american TV channels on this side of the border, one would guess they were 80% or so ! It’s like, gangsta rap, and “YO-YO-YO”, and big gold chains, everywhere !

Allow me to add, I don’t understand that thing called “affirmative action”, on your side of the border: in my country, I am a student, of french descent, and here, you either have the grades to get in, say, medical or law school, or you don’t ! No special treatment for black people !

I guess Michelle Obama and her husband are convincing examples of what happens when people like them, go to Harvard or Princeton, at the expense of better qualified students, because of that quota system that’s going on… I thought America was about excellence through competition ; the right person for the right job !?! Or, I guess it still is, but there are exceptions, for various reasons.

If there are any black people reading this, let me say, I have nothing against you really, as a people. Really! But it is true, that we French Canadians are a minority in my country. And believe me,we have kept our culture alive, since 1608, through lots of hardship and oppression. we thught for our rights, after many humiliations.

My apologies to those who may take offense, but there was never anything like affirmative action, for us, and someone like Michelle Obama, looks like she is an ingrate !

I think that Mrs. Obama, as an attorney, has been trained to use rhetoric. She (like the rest of us) is frustrated with some of what she sees. I agree that grace will serve her far better as first lady, and I hope and expect that she will learn that. Seeing the positive, and working from that is so much more helpful. I think that Barack knows and understands that, too.

As far as race is concerned, I do not think that Obama plays the race card. He doesn’t need to. He is as much white as black in any event. He is a perfect example of someone who has proven his excellence without resorting to stereotypes.

WOW. This is some racist crap on this site. Unreal. I can actually almost taste the fear of an educated, united, loving, God-fearing, patriotic black family! Spoiled? She grew up working class. Very working class. Went to school. Educated herself. THEN came back to help out in her community. Did she end up getting some cushy job? No. She went out in to the community to give back. How about EDUCATE YOURSELVES instead of reading filth on some blog. Make your own decisions. AND….how about learning to spell?

Amen KELLY , you are about the only one on here that makes any sense. Once ignorant people realize that there is such thing as race and that it was something that was created so that whites could categorize those that were beneath them. Only a fearful people would speak so negatively against a man who clearly has shown his true willingness to bring together family, to find other resources so that we don’t have to pay for the overpriced gas, he has shown a willingness to make peace with the countries that Bush has chosen to neglect even though the US owes them money, and someone who has struggled to get to the top like of the disappearing members of the middle class. I would think that him having a supportive wife that has been through the same struggle would help you to realize that this is a true team effort unlike Hillary and Bill whereas Hillary was running the show all along and Bill was her puppet. Once people recognize that Hillary is just a good”o” boy in a skirt suit who will only benefit those making 100k and up they will soon realize that they want a president who used to be on the same level as the middle class and not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Clearly yall need to do your homework and leave Michelle and her god fearing personality alone.

Michelle Obama’s America—and mine
Michelle Malkin Copyright Creators Syndicate 2008

Like Michelle Obama, I am a “woman of color.” Like Michelle Obama, I am a working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the 13th Generation of Americans born since the founding of our great nation.
Unlike Michelle Obama, I can’t keep track of the number of times I’ve been proud—really proud—of my country since I was born and privileged to live in it.
At a speech in Milwaukee this week on behalf of her husband’s Democrat presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked that “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”
Mrs. Obama’s statement was met with warm applause from other Barack supporters who have apparently also been devoid of pride in their country for their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word “change.” What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.
I’m just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We’ve grown up and lived in the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me. What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the American people have ever been “hungry for change?” Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The Obamas did not invent “change” any more than Hillary invented “leadership” or John McCain invented “straight talk.”
We were both adults when the Berlin Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change.
We’ve lived through two decades’ worth of peaceful, if contentious election cycles under the rule of law that have brought about “change” and upheaval both good and bad.
We were adults through several launches of the Space Shuttle, in case you were snoozing. [Ed. note: Speaking of which, welcome back, Atlantis!] And as adults, we’ve witnessed and benefited from dizzyingly rapid advances in technology, communications, science, and medicine pioneered by American entrepreneurs who yearned and succeeded to change the world. You want “change?” Go ask the patients whose lives have been improved and extended by American pharmaceutical companies who have flourished under the best economic system in the world.
If the fall of communism, American ingenuity, and a robust constitutional republic don’t do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and sacrifice?
How about every Memorial Day? Every Veteran’s Day? Every Independence Day? Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a welcome home ceremony for the troops?
For me, there’s the thrill of the Blue Angels roaring over cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed waters that surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor memorial.
Every naturalization ceremony I’ve attended, where hundreds of new Americans have raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this land of liberty, has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of American compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans rallied to help the victims of the 2005 tsunami in southern Asia—including members of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped from Hong Kong to assist survivors—my heart filled with pride. It did again when the citizens of Houston opened their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims and folks across the country rushed to their churches, Salvation Army, and Red Cross offices to volunteer.
How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a heart of stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor and determination displayed in New York and Washington and Shanksville, Pa., on September 11, 2001.
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth. In this case, it’s what happens when an elite Democrat politician’s wife says what a significant portion of the party’s base really believes to be the truth: That America is more a source of shame than pride.
Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success, political influence, and personal acclaim in America. Ivy League-educated, she’s been lauded by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World’s Most Inspiring Women; by Vanity Fair as one of the “10 World’s Best Dressed People; and named one of “The Harvard 100? top influencers. She has had an amazingly blessed life. But you wouldn’t know it from her campaign rhetoric and her griping over her and her husband’s student loans.
For years, we’ve heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their patriotism. And so they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs. Obama’s remarks.

This should not be about race. It does not matter who is black and who is white. It is about who is qualified. Barack Hussein Obama is not. This has been the most secretive democratic nominee in the history of America. They have not proved he is eligible to even run. He will not produce a true Birth Certificate, he will not allow the colleges to release any information about him. He will not answer any question straight on. He has ties with Ayres, Odinga, multiple others, he sat under Rev.Wright for 20 some odd years, who hates white people and America. He is for abortion, homosexuality, and the so-called spread the wealth. We all know what this means. How could anyone who cares about this country vote for this man? I pray to God America wakes up before it is too late. We do not want a socialist running our country. Not now, not ever.
