Did Matt ask her what she thinks of her hubby calling his political opponents enemies?

she is so ugly I can barelt watch her talk. We are forcfed how beautiful and fit she is and its so not true. SHe is a shemale, huge forehead, MR ed teeth, and she cant even close her mouth wither her underbite. Her butt his huge and its still debateable she is a man…….. Its frightfull.

I wouldn’t say she’s ugly Rover. The problem is she never smiles. But in her defense, what is there to smile about if you are a hate-filled liberal.

Meh.

I don’t like her husband and the gaggle of leftists he surrounds himself with but I have no real beef (no food pun intended) with her. I don’t trust her, but that’s a different issue.

The food thing is a minor issue and will go away when she does. And all First Ladies pick siome sort of cause that they champion – for better or worse – while they inhabit the Hill. She’s no different.

And his kids should be off limits. Period. All politician’s kids should be.

She is smiling in the pic above and the only hate I can see here is not coming from the left.

Or automatically calling a white cop& other cops “stupid” (they acted stupidly) when he “in his own words” knew NOTHING about the case or what happened??? Nice.

I should have said she rarely smiles, not never. She is very pretty when she does smile. I stand by the rest of my statement. I do not get the feeling she is a happy person and does seem angry. But I’d probably be to if I listened ot Rev. Wright most of my life.

Jesus, Mary and Jesus, you are one unhappy person yourself.

You can keep saying that Royal Dimwit, but that doesn’t make it true. It just seems to me that you have a problem with the truth.

Awfully negative for someone accusing another of being hate-filled. You see no irony here?

But..But…But what did Glenn Beck say to his the doorman at his building this morning about this?? Colby, it’s 10:32 and no headline yet????

whattup?

Matt was a racist for asking her that!

Whew…looks like unhinged far-righties sure woke up on the wrong side of their senior home beds this morning. Yikes.

Here’s something positive. I agree with her about Facebook. My son isn’t on it either, even though he’s asked.

And Paul, my comment may have been negative, but I fail to see where it’s incorrect. The truth isn’t always sunny. Are you saying that listening to the hate-filled rants of Rev. Wright most of your life wouldn’t influence your outlook?

It’s just your opinion Michelle, hardly factual, and you can be very negative considering you do not hesitate to call others hate-filled. My parents listened to an angry Catholic priest every Sunday for decades and it did not make them “hate-filled.” Far from it. There are not kinder people on this planet.

You’re right Paul, it is my opinion. And again, being negative doesn’t make something false.

You can be very judgmental at times. As I pointed out, listening to an angry pastor doesn’t automatically make a person angry.

If my opinion means I’m judgemental, I guess so be it. She has always rubbed me the wrong way. On a personal level, Barack seems like a nice person, though I couldn’t agree with him more on politics, but Michelle doesn’t seem like a friendly, likable person to me. It probably stems from her negative comments about America. I don’t take kindly to that.

couldn’t disagree more, that should read.

Relax. Michelle Obama does not hate America. Not liking someone is not the same as calling them “hate-filled.”

No, for the hate filled priest, too many payouts. That or the Hennessy got shut off. That’s our Bishop’s favorite, that might make him hate filled.

her kidlets are adorable, and deserve to remain out of the spotlight. (i noticed MO left off Amy Carter)

i despise attacks on MO’s looks, just as i do on Hillary or Sarah or Michelle. Have at ‘em wrt things they say or do, but the nasty ugly attacks on their looks are unnecessary.

I have no problem with comments on wardrobe, I love hits and misses type stuff, as long as it’s not super mean. i have no problem with the media complimenting MO on her wardrobe but it drives me crazy when they call her a fashion icon, or the BEST dressed FOTUS evah! cuz that is just NOT true. She makes some terrible fashion choices sometimes. I also think it is rude to former first ladies…

AS for Obama and his hair, I just can’t believe he doesn’t dye his hair – there is no way your hair goes from grey to black in one day. Unless he uses some kind of grecian formula/hair goop or something that puts a temporary color on it…

As for the *hate* comment, what’s she going to say? She hates Bush, and despises the Clintons. Didn’t she want to rip out Bill’s eyes?

Obama is a socialist, people don’t like that. Problem, Michelle?

I’m not sure if I’d say she hates America, but she’s definately made some comments that make people question how much she actually likes it. I think that’s a fair statement to make.

Michelle, do you ever correct your child? Do you ever say they have done something wrong? Do you ever let them know you strongly disagree with a decision they have made?

Yes Paul, why do you ask?

And you still love your child right?

Of course Paul. But you’re suggesting she didn’t mean what she said and I don’t agree with that. I think she means it but might regret voicing it. Again, just my opinion.

Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window) said:

Exactly! Correcting your child and disagreeing with their decisions and telling them they are wrong does not mean you don’t love them. Same thing applies with one’s country.

Not to jump in, but don’t you see a rather large difference in saying that you can “correct your child” or “disagree with their decisions,” and someone saying, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country…”?

That would be like a parent looking at their kid after they’ve done something and saying, “For the first time since you were born, I’m really proud of you.” That would be horrible! Parents are supposed to unconditionally love their children, even when they make mistakes. Mrs. Obama seemed to state that she only approved of her country now that people were thinking her way.

Your analogy doesn’t work.

No, I’m not. Being tough on your children doesn’t mean you don’t love them. Being tough on America doesn’t mean you don’t love it. I don’t think people who hate and criticize Obama dislike America.

paulmdoro said:

In fact, it can be extremely patriotic. The more we demand of our nation, the higher our expectations for our nation, the more we want the best for it.

Being tough on America isn’t the same thing and not liking it. You’re assuming things about Obama that you can’t possibly know. We are all speculating.

On the night of the 2008 election I was extremely proud of America. I was never as proud of it. That doesn’t mean I had not been proud of America before.

I was proud of America when we went into Afghanistan, when we led the efforts in Kosovo, when we took to the streets demanding an end to the war in Vietnam, when we took to the streets to extend civil rights to all Americans.

I was deeply troubled by the Iraq invasion and occupation, by the passage of the so-called Patriot Act, by the 2000 election/appointment, by the invasion of Granada, by the war in Vietnam; by much of what W did, by Clinton’s dalliances, by Raygun’s efforts to make Americans feel comfortable with their prejudices, by Nixon’s corruption. I roundly criticized America for that. But, I remained proud of her because I was confident we could and would do better. We have.

You can be proud and patriotic getting drunk and waving a flag or working for a better America.

Paul, I didn’t say that. What I said was we are all speculating as to what she really feels.

I don’t think there is just cause to speculate on whether or not the First Lady loves her country. I think that’s bananas.

Paul, what I originally said, is that my opinion of her (not whether she does or doesn’t love this country) is based on her words. I have formed my opinion on her based on her words and actions. If you choose to ignore those, that of course is your right.

“He [Obama]‘s got a thick skin”? Yeah, right.

paulmdoro said:

That’s a fair question… and of course, the answer is no. Both are equally foolish.

However, that statement is troubling and should have led to some serious questions. But, knowing that so many on the left (specifically in the media) were interested in Obama’s election, it wasn’t a priority question… so it was ignored. The fact that it was so ignored leads to undue speculation on it’s significance. The questions should have been asked and answered at that time, but weren’t.

The Real Royal King said:

Of course the difference in your story (99% false, but we’ll ignore that for now) and the situation we’re talking about with Mrs. Obama, is that she said “for the first time.” So SHE stated that there was a clear start to her “proud” feelings. With such a declarative statement, there is no denying that prior to that moment, she wasn’t “proud,” at least not in her “adult life.”

Top 10 Breaches of Protocol By the Obamas

Michelle Obama: ‘Prepare to earn less’

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/6731/

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2410091/posts

MICHELLE OBAMA: “Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Change our traditions and change our history. What did she mean by that? I think we are starting to see it.

Changing history means not just telling the same old tall tales of the free market system and the Founders. No, it’s the history according to progressives. And it’s not merely spinning the old facts; it’s taking current events and molding them to fit the progressive agenda and, in this case, completely ignoring history.

What else did she say? Change traditions. Here are some facts:

• 92 percent of Americans believe in God

. 66 percent say they will celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday honoring the birth of Jesus Christ

• Only 6 percent don’t celebrate Christmas at all; 3 percent were not sure how to answer

…It doesn’t match the real values of the country. But removing God does fit the progressive agenda.

Change history. Change traditions. But you can’t just wipe them out, you need to replace it with something. And we are constantly being force-fed the progressive agenda through intentional propaganda:

But if you are crossed out, who is being put in?

They are changing our history, changing our traditions and indoctrinating our children.

I don’t know if she wants to, but that’s definitely the goal of many progressives. I know she’s praised Kwanzaa. And her going to Reverend Wright’s church for however many years is disturbing. And Obama’s removed God from the Declaration of Independence before ( “endowed by their creator.”). It’s also interesting that the White House Christmas tree had a Mao ornament one year.

First off, I wouldn’t know the difference between St. Paul and the New Orleans Saints… outside of the uniforms. So whatever it is you’re trying to say, you’re barking up the wrong tree… and I’m not impressed with your biblical references (I’ve got Google too).

Secondly, you were comparing your story to that of Mrs. Obama, which I proved doesn’t match up… and is perhaps why you didn’t address it.

And thirdly, what does it say that she had an epiphany right after her husband was elected President? And how exactly does that disprove what we’ve been saying… that she (seemed imply)that she wasn’t proud of her country until her husband was elected?

I never said that it’s going away, but I do think that there is a disturbing trend of young people not believing in God and abandoning religion. If I said that there’s a war on Christmas I’d be acting hysterical. I do think that there are many progressives have an unfavorable view of Christians and Christmas and want Christianity and Christmas to go away. Not all of them, but many of them. Will they succeed? I don’t think so. I think that many progressives favor Islam and atheism over Christianity, which is strange.

ImNotBlue said:

You unequivocally stated that it was not covered outside of Fox News and right-leaning sites. I proved that wasn’t true by finding an ABC News story about it. What does the length have to do with it? ABC News covered it. You were wrong. Simple as that.

Going further into the search results reveals coverage from Newsweek. Boston.com, The New York Times, McClatchy, CBS News, USA Today, and The Los Angeles Times. That’s in the first 3 pages of a google search.

Obama’s entire political history is replete with his anger towards those who who disagree with his political philosophy. Anyone in opposition is considered by Obama as racist, zombies and enemies. Personally I don’t care what his ethnic mixture is, I am really opposed to his leftist philosophy.

He also lies. On the O’Reilly interview Obama said he did not believe in redistributing the wealth of the country. But I remember his interaction with Joe the Plumber where he used those exact words. Also his continued reference to the ‘wealthy needing to give back more of their earnings to the middle classes, etc.’

Those are things I don’t like, and wouldn’t like, even if he had the same ethnic background I have.

@ paul

Alright, yes… the other networks covered it. I don’t think I said they “never” touched it, but if i did, I misspoke.

It was covered… HOWEVER, it is still my opinion that they didn’t cover it with the same vigor and vitriol that they covered other stories… especially Palin stories. With the internet and alternative news sources, the media can’t effectively bury stories like they once could. They just cover with less interest or persistance. This wasn’t one of the stories they were really into. And that, IMO, is a problem.

The cops were stupid. Maybe when YOU get handcuffed for entering your own house you would think differently about it. Cops are not infallible. Maybe you should you-tube some of the crazy things they do every day violating people’s rights. The President was dead on. It had nothing to do with race. He was defending his good friend.

I don’t like her husband and the gaggle of leftists he surrounds himself with but I have no real beef (no food pun intended) with her. I don’t trust her, but that’s a different issue.

The food thing is a minor issue and will go away when she does. And all First Ladies pick siome sort of cause that they champion – for better or worse – while they inhabit the Hill. She’s no different.

And his kids should be off limits. Period. All politician’s kids should be.

This post gets a thumbs up because it’s fair.

Never hate your enemy, it clouds your judgement.

Michelle is correct though, it is a tough job, too tough for the incumbent.

Is this opinion based on fact or conjecture?

Some conjecture, some facts. I’m not talking about progressives like you or Paul, I’m talking about the progressives like Code Pink, who partner with the MB and Hamas. As far as conjecturing goes, I don’t have any montage of the media’s coverage of Christianity vs. their coverage of Islam, but from what I’ve seen, the liberal media generally favors Islam more. e.g., the people saying don’t jump to conclusions about the Fort Hood shooter (and some of those people would later label the Arizona shooter as a result of the Tea Party), or people in the media referring to McVeigh as a Christian when he was an atheist at that time who said “science is my religion.”

Another example that comes to mind is the media’s coverage of sexual abuse in the Catholic church vs. their coverage of the Planned Parenthood videos where the “pimps” get advice from PP.

Did Matt ask her what she thinks of her hubby calling his political opponents enemies?

It’s the nicest way he could address the moronic right-wing radicals that lack the education to understand the context.

I wouldn’t say she’s ugly Rover. The problem is she never smiles. But in her defense, what is there to smile about if you are a hate-filled liberal.

Jesus you people are dumb.

Liberal Tormentor (formerly Seeing 2012 From My Window) said:
I should have said she rarely smiles, not never. She is very pretty when she does smile. I stand by the rest of my statement. I do not get the feeling she is a happy person and does seem angry. But I’d probably be to if I listened ot Rev. Wright most of my life.

Your entire party is OBVIOUSLY unhappy; you ran up the debt of 8 years of Bush policies and mistakes and act like the new guy in did this to us. To be so willfully stupid and have such short memories – I’m amazed that our country has lasted this long – and then I remember that it was the intellect of our forefathers, not the moronic “faith” that got us here and kept us here – until Reagan and Bush 2 – what complete disasters! You’ve been attacking the President and First Lady sense prior to their taking office after the disaster that was the Bush Tyranny (stolen elections, illegal wars, worst economy, devastating deficit, Wall St. Bailout, Mortgage Collapse, Katrina, wire-tapping citizens, torture, et. al.). If you’re hanging your hat on Fox/Hannity’s hate and fear mongering Rev. Wright or Beck’s many conspiracy theories – you should just put one of those many guns you own in your mouth – because you’re Anti-American and one of the dumbest of our citizenship – unfortunately – and by the Koch Industry market posters here – there are a lot of you.

Here’s something positive. I agree with her about Facebook. My son isn’t on it either, even though he’s asked.

And Paul, my comment may have been negative, but I fail to see where it’s incorrect. The truth isn’t always sunny. Are you saying that listening to the hate-filled rants of Rev. Wright most of your life wouldn’t influence your outlook?

What is apparent is that you’re watching Fox all your life has made you very ignorant. I hate to be the bearer of this bad news – but only Fox hypes that BS. Let it go and find something more substantial and real to worry about, for example, why would you support a 1/2 term governor of Alaska, whom has never traveled outside of America until 2009, can’t name a local news paper or education source that would help define her positions (because she can’t) and whom is full of Fox-isms, but not qualified to run a McDonald’s anymore than a country as complex as ours.

If my opinion means I’m judgemental, I guess so be it. She has always rubbed me the wrong way. On a personal level, Barack seems like a nice person, though I couldn’t agree with him more on politics, but Michelle doesn’t seem like a friendly, likable person to me. It probably stems from her negative comments about America. I don’t take kindly to that.

Again, “her negative comments about America”. You say this – and your entire party is saying that our country sux!! Government is in the way (though the Republicans sure don’t mind running it into the ground); The only people that you echo are on Fox – they’re making you a bitter angry person – change the channel – try and enjoy life.

I’ve seen my fair share of angry Catholic priests. They can be pretty hateful. It’s not like Rev. Wright is the only angry religious figure out there.

Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggerd, Pat Robertson, most stadium TV Evangelicals – paranoid and breeding hate and fear – keeps them in business with the GOP.

I never said that it’s going away, but I do think that there is a disturbing trend of young people not believing in God and abandoning religion. If I said that there’s a war on Christmas I’d be acting hysterical. I do think that there are many progressives have an unfavorable view of Christians and Christmas and want Christianity and Christmas to go away. Not all of them, but many of them. Will they succeed? I don’t think so. I think that many progressives favor Islam and atheism over Christianity, which is strange.

Young people not believing in God – is a direct result of the nutz whom have hi-jacked religion as political. There is no spirit in government – and it’s hard to believe the nutjobs voting against their own interests whom are red-herring voters on Pro-Choice and Guns among other idiocies. I don’t want your religion forced on me – That’s not America or American. Just because you were indoctrinated with your “traditional” dogma, doesn’t mean we ALL must be brainwashed into believing the world is flat and that man rode dinosaurs.

Wow; there is just no hope for you.

Obama’s entire political history is replete with his anger towards those who who disagree with his political philosophy. Anyone in opposition is considered by Obama as racist, zombies and enemies. Personally I don’t care what his ethnic mixture is, I am really opposed to his leftist philosophy.

He also lies. On the O’Reilly interview Obama said he did not believe in redistributing the wealth of the country. But I remember his interaction with Joe the Plumber where he used those exact words. Also his continued reference to the ‘wealthy needing to give back more of their earnings to the middle classes, etc.’

Those are things I don’t like, and wouldn’t like, even if he had the same ethnic background I have.

You’re brainwashed in steep Fox-ist idiocy. Hannity I think more than the others, though Beck is here as well.

Instead of hating based on what the propagandists at Fox tell you – go get real truth, not the hate and fear mongering of the RNC/FOX Network of lies and distortion.

Our government is not a church. Keep religion out of it. The Paranoid Right-Wing (as broadcast on Fox/Beck/Hannity/Limbaugh, et. al.) wants a religious war and they would take a dumb President that invokes God over an intelligent one that would help save our country. The shooter in AZ – is a product of the hate and fear mongering of Fox and their stooges as well as Hate AM Talk Radio – it just is. There is no truth filter for these programs and if you listen to them, you see where these unstable people get their ideas. The Teabaggers are part of that culture. Paid, bused around and hired to disturb Town Hall meetings by the Koch Bros., Dick Army and Fox (Murdoch) to make political gain by their party over we the people. There isn’t “two” sides to facts – Health Care Insurance companies want to keep the tax payer pipeline to them open and unabated, while denying service to citizens. Plain and simple. Just like the Koch owned Republicans will now go after the EPA, so that they can’t be held responsible for polluting our air, water and lands. The Propaganda outlets and the Corporate money have created this corporate citizen that gets people killed – they invite the unstable into their house (KKK, NRA) and things like Arizona, Tides Foundation and Dr. Tiller have consequences = murder.
