President Obama is fair game. He is a political figure and not immune from the various attacks – mostly untrue – -that are bound to crop up during campaign season and from the opposing party while he is in the White House. It happens. But for Republicans and their conservative stormtroopers to go after Michelle Obama and the rest of the President’s family in such a vile and offensive way is purely evil and totally anti-American. This goes against everything our country stands for and is simply awful. Apologies are in order…   http://www.sunstateactivist.org

The position of FLOTUS has rarely seen such intelligence and passion.

Many who malign her would not accept it for female members of their family, so why do it to someone else’s.  

You do realize the book these allegations came from is by a New York Times reporter, right?

For twenty years, the Obamas sat in the pews of a church that was the embodiment of the angry black man & woman, and she’s wonders why people think she’s the “angry black woman”?

Bizarre.

Happy 45-year old women don’t say, “For the first time in my life, I’m proud of my country”, when speaking about their husbands nomination.

I completely agree. She has a wonderful ability to be both dignified and compassionate at the same time, and she is highly intelligent. I’m fond enough of her husband, but I think we may not have gotten the better Obama in the White House.

A sensible spouse in troubled economic times would keep their manner of living low-key, not cavalierly sloshing taxpayer dollars around like mop water. The image is important to maintain at least a sense that the leader is in touch with the average citizen’s plight.

From “date night” in New York, to the splashy vacations to the conspicuous consumption by this couple, it is clear that they do not care about the optics. With their apologists in the press, they feel safe to do as they please. The not-too-bright voter is locked up  ( Obama money!), but the rest abhor the thought of reelection, because there would be no limits on an extremely out of control incompetent running roughshod over the country and the Constitution.

…who had access to the White House and interviewed the people who work there.

It’d be hard to pain the image if the constant scowl wasn’t present.  When she smiles it hardly ever looks like it isn’t forced, and the allegations from the book aren’t hard to believe because we’ve seen the extravagant vacations she constantly goes on on the taxpayer’s dime.

She can play the victim all she wants, but at the end of the day: there’s a reason these allegations are being brought against her and, say, not Jill Biden or Laura Bush, and it sure as heck isn’t her color.

You must be a Hannity follower. 

So their life should end because they live in the White House? 

This headline is a bit misleading. I don’t think she’s blaming Obama at all. She’s suggesting that she’s been portrayed as an angry black woman since the day Obama announced that he was running for president. 

These Grifters will be evicted 1/13.  Any facial expressions on her or Barry’s mugs that are smiles or friendly are totally fabricated.  They are frauds and in fact resent America.  They have huge chips on their Radical shoulders and will not be happy or really proud until America is a weaker Nation.  That may be why occasionally the crack a faint smile can been seen.

You lack insight or Grace.

The same access as say… A Don Regan?

I wonder if that intelligence was shining through when she was sending patients from her hospital to who couldn’t pay to others?

As for the passion, well, selfishness does, indeed, require passion 
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/12/23/michelle_obama_practical_to_put_myself_higher_on_my_priority_list.html

As a woman, aged 40, possibly due to age, divorce, children,
family and other reasons, I do not believe in the idea of “fall in love
again”. But my friend introduced me to a fantastic website,

RichFlirt.org…where I not only found a rich “him”, but
also lived a better life. So try this site, never be alone any more, and
believe in yourself. cute guys and pretty girls are all in here online
chatting. come join us.

As far as I know, most women aren’t going out there parading a selfishness, acting and dictating like they know better than everyone else, spending untold millions of taxpayers dollars on vacations, among so many other things, all while their husband demands America make sacrifices.

No, actually I read the NY Times and watch ABC News….

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/opinion/30wed1.html

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2008/02/michelle-obam-1-2/

Or they could not live the luxurious life on the taxpayer’s dime.  I can’t understand why liberals have concreted the belief of politicians that they are our better and deserve all this, especially while they demand the rest of us cut back.

Who’s your Candidate?
Willard? HA HA HA HA HA!

She is a self-absorbed racist. Her theme song is “It’s All About Me.”

great lady, great family, and if it makes you country fried, fat, white, inbreds go crazy all the better.  and get used to the idea of seeing the woman for another 5 years, and maybe more!  michele for prez in ’16.  only the baggers would think romney is ok for the GOP, the lowest informed voters in the country. and  the rev wright was right, america stinks, and the GOP is the reason for your hurt.

now, go back to limpballs and teabag santorium….

Has ther ever been another first lady with a PHD before Michelle?

My image of her is she was never proud of this country until it voted her husband to be President, can’t go shopping without a team of makeup and hair assistants, wears expensive clothes and jewelry as if she’s a Trump, and spends many thousands of public dollars every few months to take a vacation.  Is any of that wrong?

She very popular. Her picture everywhere. Even in supermarket. On bottles of pancake syrup.

suck a big nut. Your head is so far up Obama’s ass , you can eat his lunch.

“She” did not send anyone anywhere. The UofC has worked hard to open and maintain a network of community clinics that provide high levels of care outside of the central hub (U.C. Hospital). I understand the topic well. Let me know if you have any questions.

No but they may consider traveling together, you know save a few taxpayer dollars. 

she doesn’t have a Ph. D and you obviously don’t have a GED.

America stinks?  Well, you do have a lot in common with the Soetoro’s, don’t you?

nice projection little man.

You are the one with the picture of the little man (your hero).

Right! Because they were broke before going in?

The only thing Michelle Obama has tried to do publicly is to educate people about nutrition, especially with respect to children. She’s never said: “Hey, I want to prohibit American parents from feeding their children food I think is unacceptable.” But, this is the way many have viewed her. If you google “Michelle Obama Nazi”, you get 43,000,000 results. 43 MILLION! And what is her basic position on food? I’ll attempt to summarize:

“Considering how many of our children are growing up obese, and because there are serious health risks that go along with that, I’d like to point out to all American parents that some foods are healthier for our children than some other foods. Because these foods are healthier, I think we should serve them in schools. Schools are run by the government, so government should set a healthy example by providing healthier foods. Also, an additional way to combat childhood obesity is to encourage young children to exercise more.”

And she’s a Nazi hypocrite because she wants to CONTROL WHAT WE EAT in the PRIVACY of our HOMES, but she eats “UNHEALTHY” food like PORK AND PIZZA ALL THE TIME. Oh, and she’s “fat” so we’ll call her Moochelle and pretend it’s clever as opposed to an insult second graders use.

And this is exactly the kind of hysteria and irrational hatred that’s no doubt going to drive huge clicks on this article, generating hundreds of comments, many of which will look something like what I just said.

I can’t say it’s surprising the amount of hatred a black woman would get for trying to suggest things to white families, but it’s just sad. 

you sound hurt, little man. Are ya going to cry for us?

Don’t be a jerk. That is the sole Mediaite guideline you must abide.

I must have struck a nerve? Sorry in advance.

you make a lot of sense to your fellow aholes.

Very well said.

Don’t be a jerk.

Take your own advice.

As skyfet says, I must have struck a nerve.

You are still being a jerk. Add something of value. America deserves your best effort.

sounds like you struck your own nerve.

You first. You are nothing but nonsense.

 I am making you look like the fool you are.

And she still doesn’t have a Ph.D!

I was seething…when I saw the same BS title on this story. That is not true and should be corrected.

Don’t be a jerk. That is the sole Mediaite guideline you must abide.

And Michelle still doesn’t have a Ph.D

Are you done, vicky?

Gov Romney….I prefer a President that loves America.  Why don’t you?

Thank you for making America a beautiful place…

why are you talking in the third person…

But it is true.  She is an angry bitter Women who does not love America. She and Barry resent America…where have you been?

haha

Why are you so stupid?

during the first 6 months in office we use to always hear how beautiful a first lady she was.  Then that all ended when she was next to the french first lady….a true beautiful woman and not the media created myth of Michelle. 

It’s Biden’s wife who has a PhD. Anyone who doesn’t address her as “Dr. Biden” gets one warning and one warning only.

Another false acquastion. she had nothing to do with patients. she worked in getting the children hospital together. 

Where it not for Resko, the Felon,  they would not have been able to scam their Chicago residence.  Why are you so naive?

And “we”are…?

Did you have your place via scamming?

She doesn’t strike me as particularly selfish.  Are you referring to the heinous crime of being human?

You are either a fellow best known as notsofast/ stonepark who has been banned multiple times for his aggressive trolling or a doppelganger. In either case… Have a blessed day!

So how about half the GOP referring to her as Moo-chele, including many people on Mediaite and your own Rush Limbaugh?

Hahahaha hahahaha, yeah Bush really lived a Spartan lifestyle while crafting the Patriot Act huh?

Better stop it, or she’ll “rip your eyes out! (kidding)”!

Hey, she’s the one that said we’re a country that is “just downright mean”… If “we’re mean as a country” wouldn’t that make her mean, too?

When bush got a shoe thrown at him in iraq, most americans said he deserved it. So how could those people who are american not support bush, so they must not be proud of being an american b.c they think it’s fine if bush gets a shoe thrown at him. America is not utopia where everyone says I am proud of america blah blah blah. Even at my high school, only a handful of people stand and say the pledge of allegiance. I guess if the media was there in the classroom, the students would be maligned. Public schools discard prayer, Christian principles are the foundation of this nation and american public schools totally disrespect that. Republicans like to pick on michelle obama for just that statement that isn’t a big deal, they are reacting as if she’s on the streets saying death to america. I think they should worry about those people who hate america more than michelle obama. As a first lady, she gets make up and hair assistants, designers(hence the expensive clothes). What evidence is there that she spends public dollars as if she’s been unemployed since college. Next thing, you’ll hear is she has a golden bathroom like saddam hussein.

Flip flopping Willard would sell his soul to become President.He will do or say anything.You think you can trust him?
My liberal is better than your liberal!

That doesn’t change the fact that right wing talking heads, like Rush Limbaugh who influences a lot of fools, has attacked the First Lady many times for honorable endeavors she has taken on such as nutrition and healthy eating, Pablo.  I don’t recall anybody in the media on the left attacking former First Lady Laura Bush for her crusade with improving illiteracy and the aids epidemic in Africa.

… But then again, people like Rush Limbaugh is a whole lower form of species.  

Great Republican values you’re showing there. I think most people, whether whealthy or not, take the vacation that is within their means and they don’t begrudge others doing the same.  The only people who seem to cry about it would whore themselves for politics.

Technically you are right.She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Harvard Law School in 1988.They do not call it a PHD for law students. They are equivalent professional degrees.

Actually, I find Rush’s current frustration kind of amusing, since he’s irked about Romney winning the nomination for the same reason he was irked about McCain in 2008, and finally started supporting Romney just before the S.C. primary.

As for your anger over this, you really need to complain to Pinch over on Eighth Avenue about his hired help going off the reservation and publishing details that don’t make the Obamas look good. The Michelle stories and the Halloween party dish didn’t come from any conservative website (though if you’re far enough to the left you really can’t tell The New York Times from the New York Post).

World class jerk.

I think she likes you Gloves.

@jefdongar:disqus …huston…….Would you like to work from home? Read more here: LazyCash4.com and you will find out how to get a nice income every month.

Why are you so insulting?

Welcome back Notsofast/stonepark.

We have one.
Real Americans root for America to be a strong country and rally around the person elected.
WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?

This should be a good test of the new guideline(s). If they are serious he will certainly be gone.

How do you lie though your teeth and spew forth vile remarks while having you head up your ass all at the same time?

no but they could take it down a notch or two… you can vacation but how about you spend it somewhere domestic like one of our national parks? Not travel separately? Air Force One is NOT the family truckster!

SO MEAN to feed OUR children carrots.
She’s as bad as Bush’s wife wanting our kids to READ.

Just a JD from Harvard.
You?

Yes.
Bush and his wife ate peanut butter on WHITE bread, and never left the WHITE house.

Yes

That’s new information, that she traveled around in AF1, fascinating. So all the vacations they’ve been having in Massachusetts counts for nothing? Is this the first time in your life you’ve ever complained about the first ladies where about? Did you moan about Nancy when she wore those beautiful cloths during the recessions in the 80′s? If you didn’t, then you might be a phony.

Hannity did so well with that Narrative 4 years ago.

LETS DO IT AGAIN.

Right back at ya,
SON.

Way to play the race card again Michelle. Always the victim aren’t you!!. You poor thing you!!

I also notice you didn’t try to debunk anything in the book!!

Debunk what?

Thats what you’ve got?

Obama says she found her self slipping “pretty low” on her own priority list because she was “so busy caring for everyone else.”

So she decided to take care of herself and exercise?

Walters: “So what do you do?”
Obama: “Make sure I get my exercise in so I work out as much as he works out.”
Walters: “I hear more.”
Obama: “I do now. He’s been busier. Spending time with girlfriends.
Going out. You know, pulling in people in my life who give me strength
and joy.”

You should be embarrassed.

It must be all those “bitter people who cling to their guns and religion” or the “enemy” that think she is a angry black women!!

This is the kind of thing that happens when a immature community organizer decides to use class warfare to get re-elected!!

What was said about her sharpy……try to keep up with the rest of the class, you are slowing everyone up!!

“Style—in fashion, entertaining, decorating, and influence—was the subject of articles leading up to the 1981 inauguration. The press reported on Nancy Reagan’s wardrobe, film career, skills as a hostess, and plans to redecorate the White House family quarters. As lavish white-tie inaugural celebrations were planned, articles speculated on a subsequent transformation to a more glamorous “Hollywood” White House. “Everybody has his own way of doing things,” Nancy Reagan summed it up in interviews. She downplayed stories about her influence over her husband, indicating that she would not play a policy role in the new administration. Instead, she planned to become involved in antidrug causes and continue her work with the foster grandparents program.”

It’s Stonepark – Notsofast
No logic
Just insults.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO5Z0PxiZkg

What a creep.

StoneparkIV, welcome back!

She’s about as real as the girls on “RichFlirt” Gloves – save your breath and just flag as inappropriate…

HAHAHA – you don’t even know the story about the property the Obama’s bought from Rezko…lmao.  Like a little child repeating things they don’t understands to sound like an adult.  Awesome…

No, she has a JD … her higher education started with Princeton and then Harvard for her law degree.  The lady is frigging smart!

Nice knowin’ ya!

Correct … Mrs. Obama has a JD (from Harvard).

too bad you cant flag the likers.

There the Obamas go playing the racial card.  It has nothing to do with stereotypes.  Michelle would come over as an angry woman whether she was white, purple, yellow or red. 

She just cant take any earned criticism goes with the family.

Kinda sounds like Bain Capital.

They weren’t broke, but they weren’t this rich either.  They’re not paying for the military and secret service to follow them around, either.

As far as I can tell, and I have yet to see any proof to the contrary, they aren’t living within their means because all the vacations are being footed by the taxpayers.  Until then, there is no sympathy from me.

False image? With the complicity of a malfeasant media, she has publicly cultivated the entitlement mentally for so long she has rendered herself completly blind to reality. Rest assured Ms. Antoinette, the America you’ve hated for so many years is not so easily fooled.

So pleased to have you back, Nutsofast.

Can you imagine trying to run your own life, doing whatever you do, with a bunch of people around you each telling you to do things that are inconsistent, & beyond them a bunch more people speaking to those people advising you & assisting you about their own situations & perceptions, ambitions & frustrations? Who could survive that? But it’s standard operating circumstances in the White House, & has been for a hundred years, all the way back to when President Wilson was disabled by his second stroke & his wife effectively took over as intermediary between him & his chief of staff, to the point that it became impossible to tell where her messages to the administration were actually Wilson’s or hers. It arose again when FDR & Eleanor had to work out how to make their failed marriage work in some way to benefit the country rather than hurt it. It arose again with the determination of Betty Ford to resist being an icon like the wives of the 5 presidents & remain a real person. It arose again with Hillary Clinton as First Lady, being someone who was a true work partner with her husband & who refused to fade into the background.  

The common theme, if there is one, is that generally it’s the Dem president wives who have been true work partners to their husbands & generally it’s the Rep president wives who’ve been turned into scenery. Anyone who’s read the second book Obama wrote, describing mostly the period from when he left high school until announced running for the presidency, could easily tell that Michelle was going to end up being highly resistant to being turned into background: she was already an Harvard Law grad & an accomplished person before they first met, & he makes quite  clear that she’s been an active participant in all his careers since graduating from Columbia. 

I don’t have any trouble with people writing these sorts of books; I do have trouble accepting their contents uncritically – which is really what Mrs. Obama is saying here.

Michelle has basically lost everything since Barack’s election – why shouldn’t she be angry?  She’s got no authority, they’ve assigned her little feminine stuff like gardening and nutrition and economical fashion tips when she’s an educated attorney.  I’ve never seen her do anything I like, but she’s just been shuttled to the background for the whole term.

Still looks like she set it up so that the poor were sent to other hospitals.  If you want to explain Dontae Adams’ situation though, that’d be great.  My only source may be a little biased though 
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/06/19/the-obamacare-horror-story-you-won%E2%80%99t-hear/

Racism aside, and I am not accusing you of being a racist, I think Ms. Obama is intimidating to many people. To many men simply because she is a strong woman and to many women because Ms. Obama has a remarkably solid and successful marriage and because she has been able to balance marriage, children and career very well, indeed. There is a strong element of envy by these women.

A black President means more to minorities than it does to everyone else – because it means there is no longer a glass ceiling on what minorities can accomplish in this country.  A black woman who may have felt limitations in her life because of her skin color and resented it may feel a certain amount of relief to know someone of her race can make it to the top.

I know characterizing Michelle Obama as some US-hating black woman might fit well into conservative beliefs of the Obamas, but if you’re honest about it and look at the reality for minorities in this country, you empathize with their feeling a bit more pride about the US after a minority President was elected.

My two cents.

I don’t have a problem with the criticism of the Halloween party.  It was stupid.

I have a problem with the racist, sexist and unfair things I’ve read on Mediaite from Rush, Glenn, the Daily Caller, etc etc etc, and the things I’ve read from commenters on this site supporting those views.

The number of times I’ve seen the term “Moo-chele” is unconscionable.

At least she doesn’t talk to magical underpants.

That’s actually not true.  
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/07/23/video-did-michelle-obama-start-a-patient-dumping-program/  I’d do a direct link to the article specifically, but the Sun Times has taken it down since then.  Anyways, here’s what they wrote:
Sen. Barack Obama’s wife and three close advisers have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that steers patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities.Michelle Obama — currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital — helped create the program, which aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ transplants.

Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of this 
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/12/23/michelle_obama_practical_to_put_myself_higher_on_my_priority_list.html  Where she admitted to being selfish.

Maybe I should be, but honestly?  I can’t remember the last mom saying that.

“If you google “Michelle Obama Nazi”, you get 43,000,000 results.”

And your point is what? Google is racist? If you google “Nancy Reagan Nazi”, you get 20,000,000 results.”  Does that mean that Nancy is half th nazi as Michelle?

And guess how much hatred a white man (George Bush) would get for trying to suggest things to black families (like, stay in school, stop dealing drugs, don’t join gangs, stop black on black/white crime, don’t get gold teeth, etc.)… THAT’s sad!

It’s impossible to honestly assess this president given he has spent more time and money hiding his past than all his predecessors combined. In-truth, we actually know nothing about this man. 

Honest Americans have a right to know, even after three years in office, why his past school records, voting records, foreign travel records are still being hidden from the American public (with the complicity of the main stream media.)

Politics and race have nothing to do with this manner of deceit.

LOL.  Funny.  Do you think they are like boxers or briefs?  Maybe a thong with one of this elephant tusks in the front?  Why not?

She does appear to have a solid marriage, and has two lovely daughters, and she had a good career. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any “bitchiness” in her. Not saying she does, or doesn’t – but none of her attributes that you listed prove otherwise. 

Her mouth has been her downfall.

They made a comment about her marker?  What are you talking about?  Please rephrase…it’s hard to find any content mixed in with your insults.

Mrs Obama: Some give her ‘angry black woman’ image
…poor “Fat Cakes”… she’s so stressed out over these claims that she already needs ANOTHER $4 MILLION taxpayer-funded luxury vacation to relax.

When a law school graduate, such as the First Lady, has a Juris Doctor degree (J.D.), they can be referred to as “Doctor” in an academic setting such as teaching in a college, university of law school.  They may not use that title in the practice of law.  There is a second degree, Doctor of Juridical Science (JS.D), which requires graduate training beyond law school.  A lawyer who earns that degree can be called Doctor in all circumstances, including being addressed as such by judges in the courtroom!

VP Joe had better be more respectful.  He calls her Jill!  The least he can do is call her “Dr. Jill.”

Woody Allen  cast Carla Bruni (the beautiful French First Lady) in a small role in the movie “Midnight in Paris,” Rumor has it that Woody made her do several re-takes, becuase her acting is lousy.  The movie has been nominated for a Golden Globe.  Ms. Sarkozy-Bruni did not get a nomination. 

The Steam was a great one hit wonder band.
 But I enjoyed watching the entire clip.

No.
Stop!
Don’t encourage him!

Not me.

This is literally the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Well said.

Did you notice she said she didn’t READ the book? 

(I can understand where you’re coming from, the idea of having to read a whole 100+ page book in order to unlock the credibility to talk about it is, I assume, unfathomable to you)

I think she can be sassy. Is that bitchy? Not in my opinion. You may disagree. In fact, I think men and women draw the line in different places over this question.

“. . .you can vacation but how about you spend it somewhere domestic like one of our national parks.”  I am not a supporter of President Obama, but I think you have to be fair.  The last few vacations have been in Massachusettes and Hawaii.  They are “domestic vacations.”  As far as our national parks are concerned, either the vacation would create impossible security problems or they would have to close the park to all other tourists.  I live near the Smoky Mountain National Park which is visited by huge crowds each week.  If the secret service closed down the park to provide security for the President and his family, there would be a national outcry!  Besides, even if the park was closed to tourists, Al Quaeda could train a black bear to infiltrate the park and attack the President and his family in their tent. No vacationing in National Parks for a President and his family.  It would be almost as dangerous as a hunting vacation with Dick Cheney!

Where is Mitt’s birth certificate?

Has anybody demanded to see Michelle’s birth certificate?  How do we know that she was not born in Kenya?

On which street corner can we find you?

She has lost a lot of weight since that picture was taken!

“and if you don’t believe I’m not angry, go to %&(@#&”, she said before pulling out a #$%#$() and wasting them!

Poor Michelle….I think you think it’s time for the taxpayers to pay for you and all your friends to go on another multi-million dollar vacation while millions are worried about paying the bills and putting food on the table!! What a disgrace you and your husband are!!

How many Trig Palin attacks have we seen? If you want to talk unconscionable, apply it in it’s truest sense.

: )

Does her description remind you of anyone else?

Struggling today? Not surprised you are lost in translation!!

Tell it to Nancy Reagan, Walt.

Like George Bush!

I have a question! Why did Bobby Rush call for a federal investigation into the patient dumping practices?

Rush calls for investigation at U of C for patient dumping allegations

Well, I haven’t seen anything about Trig Palin other than Bristol was probably the mother. I think that is conspiracy theory and not really a personal attack.

Agree wholeheartedly.

“You’re getting $600 – what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful
or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down
every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff
sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get
that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”

Couple hours and…

Now I would want to be the one who starts rumors but I heard he was born in Mexico!

Discipline is to be swift and certain to be effective.

You should read it again.
It does not say what you have been told it says.

He bites the dust again!

But Sarah Palin’s children are fair game because they walk out on stage with her, right?

That’s the excuse the leftists used to defend their Palin derangement.

Also, Michelle Obama has put herself in the political arena by actively campaigning. This means she IS fair game. Everything she says, every movement she makes, everything she eats, everthing she wears, everywhere she goes is open for criticism and political attacks.

She is a political figure by her own volition. Enthusiastically according to her own comments.

That outburst was pretty random.

Everything that makes me sick about you crazy people can be seen when the subject of Mrs. Obama comes up.

There are plenty of reasons not like the President.

There are plenty of reasons why he should not have been elected in the first place.

Plenty more why he shouldn’t get a 2nd term.

But the way you monsters go after Michelle Obama is just disgusting.

She is doing very good work with children and obesity. In an increasingly fat country where our health care costs are staggering from illnesses related to health she is raising awareness of basic good health habits. But to listen to you people you would think she is loading the train with fatties to put them in the oven.

I have no doubt that this woman is sick of hearing this crap.

I never voted for Bush. Think he was a failed President. But I have no problem with his wife wanting to help kids read.

You people are hateful little trolls.

How convenient!

An insider account of the Obama White House comes out which portrays Michelle Obama in a negative light and presto! Interview with Oprah’s best friend!

This has propagandist David Axlefraud’s fingerprints all over it.

Ahem….

I direct link to your own copy and paste

currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice
president of the prestigious hospital — helped create the program, which
aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were
flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say
such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill
patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ
transplants.

Pull the (D) from her name and add an (R) and Hannity (who that article is about) would jump on those people not getting insurance and relying upon a hospital that does Major Medical procedures that are the envy of the world, just to get care that could be done by a standard practitioner.

Jeebus – she was on UNPAID leave trying to help poor people get LOCAL CARE.

Because it is Bobby Rush’s job to address the concerns of his constituency… many of whom have a love/ hate relationship with the University that goes back generations.
The fact that Bobby addressed the issue is in no way evidence that it happened… simply that some imagined it did. Next…

Wow. Okay. I’ll make is as simple as I can.

1. No. I’m not implying Google is racist. It’s stupid to even think I was saying that that.

1a. I’m merely pointing out that many people on the internet are associating Michelle Obama with Nazis. As a point of comparison, “Laura Bush Nazi” has just under 5 million results. This means in three years, there have been 38 million more internet references to Michelle Obama as a Nazi than Laura Bush ever received in eight years as First Lady and the three years since. I find this to be interesting.
 
1b. Google search results do not determine how much of a Nazi someone is. It is stupid to think I was saying that, also.

2. Your comparison is very, very wrong for several reasons. The first of which is that George Bush did suggest some of those things to black families. He suggested that crime be lowered, that drug dealing should be avoided, that more people should stay in school, and that gang violence was a bad thing. No one ever criticized him for it, and they shouldn’t. They shouldn’t because while he did suggest those policies to black families, he didn’t single them out. He suggested those things for all Americans, and that is also exactly what Michelle Obama did. She wasn’t just addressing white families; she was addressing all families.

What you just did is take a bunch of stereotypes associated with the black community (some of them remarkably crude) and suggested that if Bush said that ONLY to the black community, he would be called a Nazi. I don’t know if he’d be called a Nazi for directly addressing the black community with black stereotypes (like you just did), but it would certainly have been racist for him to do so. So, for you to even think in those terms, unable to see the distinction between the two situations you’re comparing, is either very stupid or very racist. Or, perhaps, it’s stupidly racist. There really aren’t any other possibilities.  

I still don’t get it…was that supposed to be some sort of insult?  What are you trying to say?  You’re incoherent.

Didn’t you steal that from part of Newt’s Obama has anti Colonial views speech garbage.

I think Robert Gibbs said it best.

Even Oprah had good enough sense to leave Wright’s church of bigotry and hatred.

yeah, and?  

Angry thin skinned black women.

Have they no shame?

Just think of all the Polar Bears that drowned because of all the carbon released from Michelle’s private 747!

Pablo, your behavior is beyond childish.  Stick to the point — no way, no how was Nancy Reagan subject to the same abuse as our first lady, whose been depicted as an African tribeswoman, told she had a big butt, was made fun of a worthwhile endeavor like fighting childhood obesity.  Nancy Reagan on the other hand was never chastised for Just Say No, but was rightfully laughed at re: her ridiculous astrology claims.  Michele Obama is the classiest and smartest woman ever to serve as first lady, but Rush and people like you are so full of blind hate for the Obamas you will stop at nothing. Disgusting and despicable. 

“they try to portray me as some angry black woman” well if they keep it up I am going to hit them upside their f ing head.

people like you are so full of blind hate

State your basis for that claim.

Reading is fundamental. She was on leave when the piece was written, not when she was trying to figure out how to get po’ folk out of her hospital.

Rush Limpballs is frustrated? say it aint so

She got her PH.D the same place Obimbo became a Professor of Constitutional Law. Oh wait, he’s not a professor of Constitutional law…..is he!

Spin much?

would someone pleeze show Obams high school transcripts so this fool (and all like him) shut up..lolololol

Yes.

PAYLIN isnt a first lady…maybe a 10th lady

Wouldn’t that constitute, redirecting poor Blacks away from the Hostpital? A job they hired her, and paid her well to do?

yea and bush never took any vacaTIONS

YEA IM SURE NO OTHER PRESIDENTS TOOK VACATIONS..ONLY THE OBAMAS LOLOLOL

YOUVE BEEN SMELLING RUSH LlMPBALLS ASS  A LIITLE TOO MUCH

What’s within their means should be what they can do on their own money. Spending ours on lavish vacations, and White House events is not money out of their pocket, it’s money out of our pockets. It never looks good, especially during a time of sever economic times.

Sounds more like what they are, people sponging off the American taxpayer! Parasites come to mind!!

WHO CARES

http://www.buzzfeed.com/gavon/robert-gibbs-said-a-very-bad-word-about-michelle-o

BUT SHE ATTENDED HARVARD!!!..where did u go Retard highlolol

I think the blatant “misunderstanding” by Alex, and the headline of the original story, would make a good post of media analysis on mediaite…after all, that’s what this place is all about,media analysis, yea?
Can’t wait for that post.

Has Gayle King thanked Oprah  ?

I would rather read a book about Sarah Palin’s “wombs being shifting”.. Now that’s good reading .. Can’t wait for the movie!!!

Michelle Obama is proof that a lifetime of other people’s money won’t make a person happy.

Disclosure:  I once worked for the UofC. 
Further Disclosure:  I once spent 18 hours in the UofC emergency room after breaking my wrist in a fairly gnarly bike crash on my way to work… finally leaving without being seen.  
Yet Further Disclosure:  My doctors office was also connected to the UofC’s Urban Health Initiative (in the Kenwood neighborhood just north of Hyde Park).

The University provides services better when it is more efficient.  The network is designed to decrease the amount of pressure associated with the E-Room as primary point of service.  The long term plan is a good one.  Within this context, the UofC staff must also make minute to minute decisions regarding intake and capacity.    Dontae Adams recovered without loosing his lip… which validates this on the fly decision making.  It may not have been ideal… but the UofC emergency room is far from a place where dreams are made.  It is a place that mitigates the damage already done in a world where resources, especially for the poor, are scarce.

It’s too bad the first Black president didn’t come close to realizing their dreams of a competent president and closing the door on that issue.
Empathizing about childish nonsense does not excuse ineptness no matter how much it may make you feel better. This isn’t some Hollywood feel good movie, this is reality. The stakes are too high to consider anything but competence!

Is this a real question? Please advise.

Obama Won’t Have To Sleep On The Couch Tonight: Signs the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

You mean, as apposed to “LIVING IT UP”, at taxpayer expense during a sever economic recession. No, we wouldn’t want them to do that, would we!!

Hey Mediaite,

What happened to your original headline? You owe an apology for printing outright nasty lies.

…and Pablo, your a bright guy. You certainly understand Obama’s position within the old guard of the African American establishment in Chicago. If you need a refresher, Chapter

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/dreamsofobama/view/

Anything I have to say about this %@&8*# would get me banned.
She is a *&$#@

As soon as you get all your progressive liberal friends to appologise for their treatment of Sarah palin’s kids we’ll talk about what apology Michelle Obama is deserved.

Pack your bags you’ll be on a year plus quest to talk to them all.

I would also point out that Michelle O invited criticism with her comments like not being proud of America.

Please tell what Trig Palin did to deserve the attacks from the left..

Perhaps while you are at it you could arrange an apology to Sarah herself for the accusations that she cause the attack on Gabby Giffords.

I’ll wait,  but wont hold my breath. 

Racists like Rush Limbaugh know what she’s talking about.

Just as I thought — I’m very stupid or very racist… from your “liberal” point of view.

I am black and we say those things to our young folk all the time: stay in school, stop dealing drugs, don’t join gangs, stop black on black/white crime, don’t get gold teeth (bad for job interviews). What’s crude about that? But you, as a typical liberal (wordy one at that) seems to be guilty of the very sins you accuse of others.

Moochelle is a hefty woman trying to intervene in the diets of Americans. If her efforts stood just at ‘Let’s Move’ she wouldn’t suffer the hypocrite tag and I’d applaud the effort.

Does she not mooch off the taxpayers for lavish vacations? Yes, she does. The moniker fits.

So your defense is “well, other people said some bad things about a person I like so it’s perfectly fine for me to stoop to their level and say nasty things about a person they like”?

That’s pretty stupid and accomplishes nothing but provides idiotic ‘justification’
more of the same juvenile crap.  Well done.

And the racist underbelly of the GOP rears its ugly head.

Beauty is a quality based on subjective opinion.  As such, I think that Michelle looks amazing, especially for a woman who is almost 50 and has had two children.

Maybe not beause she has gone away.
Sorry Gloves. 

Saved by Mediaite,
Thank You Mediaite!

I just re-read this…and wow, the ignorance is so fantastically idiotic its unbelievable.

Michelle is trying to encourage health, and you imbeciles are just looking for something to fight with her about.

Let’s pretend that your view of things is accurate and Obama is a bumbling idiot. Which issue does his presidency not close the door on? Are you saying that it’s still unclear whether a black man can be competent? 

Now let’s look at the last few GOP presidents. GWB got us into at least one totally unnecessary war (it’s arguable he could’ve stopped 9/11 but let’s give him a pass), ran up a huge debt and deficit and left office within months of the beginning of the biggest economic crash since the Great Depression. Stunning victory. 

His dad left the economy in a similar recession but was kicked out of office after just four years. 

And Reagan oversaw very high unemployment, especially in the first three years of his presidency (sound familiar?), nearly doubled the U.S. public debt and was involved in the Iran-Contra fiasco. Like Bush 1, his policies contributed to the S&L scandals. 

So tell me, which conservatives do you offer us as models of competency since you hate Obama so much? 

Good thing Rush didn’t spend 20 yrs in a racist Church or you would actually have proof he is a racist!!

You have no idea how remarkably solid and successful their marriage is.  She’s the same bone head who travelled to Martha’s 4 hours before hubby BECAUSE SHE COULD and didn’t give a f*ck what extra costs and inconvenience it cost.  Give me a freaking break.  A good marriage?  (she could be heard mumbling that she was not traveling with that man).

Seriously, think before posting roses and lollipops.  I might be pissed at my hubby but somehow I manage to travel with him – besides think of all the things I could tell him he’s doing wrong while in his company.  After all, we are going to end up in the same place at the end of the day.

I think this woman is an idiot.  It does not take a genius to “dress for the occasion” and leave the $500 runners for a more appreciate audience etc.  She is her own worst enemy.  Has not a clue that she brought all the contempt on because of how she treats the public.

Personally I think everyone should have steak and arugula on their plates!  (another dumb comment)

Love you pulling out the “race” card instead of the “dumb” card.  She’s made dumb statements – are you trying to insinuate that she said dumb things cause she’s black?  That would be a racist statement there guy.  She said dumb things because she’s lost touch with reality.  Don’t care a whit about the color of her skin.  

If you don’t want to be perceived as out of touch – don’t act like you’re out of touch and then you won’t be perceived as being so.  When I go visit my friends who are shut in – I refrain from raving about my wheels and how far they have taken me.  Common sense – can’t be bought, taught or faked.  

He did, but it wasn’t an economic downturn in which he was demanding the rest of us give into a lower standard of living.

Grandpa.
It’s 2:08, time for your nap.
Dinner is at 4:00.

You know how grumpy you get if you don’t get your nap.

excellent argument. you won’t get a response from the teabaggers

You got stats?
Someone earlier tried to discredit her by leading to an article which informed us she was making $330,000 when Barack was running for president.

Whose money, and what lifetime?

Although your site is slow, it is laid out well and easy to navigate.

Gonna check it out.

The only thing taxpayers paid for is AF1 (which every President used, and Obama hasn’t used the plane as much as Reagan  – back and forth to Santa Barbara every other week!  LOL) and Secret Service (protection he is going to get anywhere he goes).  The Obama’s paid for their own accommodations or they were provided by someone else.

Whatever your point is, you’re not making it with your lies.

I was quite clear in my assessment. It’s your lack of simple reasoning that has mired you in questions I did not pose. I was a Cain supporter, so much for your attempt at racism.
Although I was against the war, it was not the war alone that got us in this mess. Our biggest failure was, and remains the Housing issue. Money lent to people on a mass scale that could not be secured invited failure. And who was responsible for that. It sure as hell wasn’t Bush, he warned of it long before it happened. You can look to the Democratic held Congress for that.
Any of the present candidates can beat Obimbo. Of the group left, I think Romney will get the nod. The real question will be, how bad Obimbo beats himself. I live in a heavily populated Latino state. Of the Latinos I talk to, none are voting for Obimbo. Consensus is, he’s all talk, and no business. That’s pretty much the consensus of this Nation.

Probably from all that BLUEBERRY PIE.

HEAR HEAR

HEAR HEAR

I am proud of the President.
I am proud of the First Lady.
Jodi Kantor can stick her book where the sun don’t shine.
Mediaite, do a better job of reporting; there are NO reasons to LIE in a headline.
Next time, get it right, or maybe you’re not the media watchdog you purport yourselves to be.

I’m not asking if you posed questions. I’m asking you a question, and you still haven’t answered it. 

But I’d like to linger for a little while on your assertion that Bush tried to stopping the housing bubble. That’s pretty funny. It was his administration that handed asked Congress to hand over a blank check to Wall Street. If he foresaw what was coming, I guess he didn’t want to try too hard to stop it. 

And since you’re unlikely to answer the question I asked, can we talk about about what your assertion about Latinos (I’m assuming you’re speaking for all Latinos in this country) has to do with anything? Do you honestly think Latinos (since you’re bringing them up for some reason) will flock to Romney or the GOP, which has taken strong stands against amnesty programs and for the Arizona law that Latino groups organized mass protests against? 

Feel free not to answer the question in my previous post. 

Actually sounds more like DANCING around the word uppity.

We can argue all day about how “competent” any particular President is, but do you really think that the hopes and dreams of minorities to see a minority President is “childish nonsense”?  Is that really how you feel?

I sincerely hope your sickening egocentrism and lack of empathy towards the plight of minorities is not reflective of the entire conservative movement.

Well, dugbru.

I always thought Republicans were more upstanding, and Liberals sunk so low as to say such awful things.
Nice to see you want to be a Liberal.

Deflection is poor tactic. (or perhaps you need help reading)

Pull the (D) from her name and add an (R) and Hannity (who that article is about) would jump on those people not getting insurance and relying upon a hospital that does Major Medical procedures that are the envy of the world, just to get care that could be done by a standard practitioner.

Are you angry she is a better Republican than most of the nominees?

I remember Laura Bush getting some unkind comments, too.  Dems are not innocent here.  This stuff sucks, though.

I quite clearly answered your attempt to put a racist face on my remarks. Did Obama sue Banks under CRE to force them to make loans to people who couldn’t afford them. In 2007, did Obimbo openly say that giving loans to people for homes who couldn’t afford them was a good thing.
The Latino vote helped Obimbo get elected. Without it his chances greatly diminish. That’s the relevance in that issue.
Yes Sir, Arizona, the first time a U.S. government has sued a state on behalf of a foreign country. Let’s all be proud of that little Obama gem?!!

Well, it’s good to see that niether of you addressed the point.. neither of you took up the challenge to get the left to appologise.. why am i not surprised? BTW Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is again blaiming Giffords shooting on Republicans. Is there no end to you a’holes??? no there is not.

You also declined to address the fact That Michelle O invited comments about her by things she said and did, While Trig Palin did not.

You are typical juvenile liberals.

LOLOLOL. 

First, you said a moment ago that you thought the hopes that minorities had to see a minority President was “childish nonsense” – which shows racial intolerance (think racism genius). 

Second, your doubling up on stupidity by saying “And who was responsible for that. It sure as hell wasn’t Bush, he warned
of it long before it happened. You can look to the Democratic held
Congress for that.” is simply ludicrous.  You were either too young to know or too dumb to find out because it is all clear how much he “warned” people of the housing crisis:

 - Late 2007, President Bush told Americans that the economy was stable: “[I]t looks we’re headed for a soft landing.” (White House morning press briefing, 8/9/07)

-Bush’s awesome Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson played down the subprime market
turmoil, saying the economic fallout will “be painful to some lenders,
but it is largely contained.” (MarketWatch, 3/13/07) Later that year,
still, Secretary Paulson “did not see anything that caused him to
reconsider his view that the economic damage from the housing correction was ‘largely contained.’” (Reuters, August 1, 2007)

-Bush’s buddy Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke maintained that “troubles in the subprime sector on the broader housing market will likely be limited.” (Forbes, 5/17/07)

-Even more, when House Dems tried to initiate legistlation on housing lending, the White House Tuesday threatened to veto [housing] legislation…” (Wall Street Journal, “Paulson Sees Credit Crisis Waning,” 5/7/08)

-Bush’s brilliant administration encouraged risky mortgages despite warnings from Senate Democrats.
Senators Dodd and Sarbanes warned Chairman Greenspan about the dangers
of promoting the use of nontraditional mortgages: “Adjustable rate
mortgages, for a low income constituency, [are] a nightmare.” (Senator
Dodd, Senate Banking Committee hearing, 2/24/04) “[The Federal Reserve]
is pushing adjustable rate mortgages…and throwing this risk back on
the consumer…in effect, downing the 30 year fixed rate mortgage and
pushing up the adjustable rate mortgage.” (Senator Sarbanes, Senate
Banking Committee hearing, 2/24/04)

-The brilliant Bush Administration repeatedly blocked Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) reform. In
the 108th Congress, the House Financial Services Committee reached an
agreement to markup legislation originally scheduled for October 8,
2003. However, on October 7, 2003, the Treasury Department announced its
opposition to this agreement, killing progress on GSE reform.
(Congressional Research Service, “Improving the Effectiveness of GSE
Oversight: Legislative Proposals in the 108th Congress.”)

-The brilliant Bush Administration’s failure to regulate financial institutions on Wall
Street is a root cause of our current economic crisis. “Wall Street had
recently jumped into the market for risky mortgages. Firms like Bear
Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs had started bundling home
loans and selling them to investors — bypassing Fannie… In the
previous year, Fannie had already lost 56 percent of its loan-reselling
business to Wall Street and other competitors.” (New York Times, October 5, 2008)

-Republican-appointed regulators failed to prevent unsafe and unsound practices at the GSEs.If
indeed GSEs are partly to blame for the mortgage crisis, President Bush
appointed or retained every financial regulator in charge of overseeing
the GSEs, banks, and the securities markets since 2001, long before
subprime mortgage usage began to explode. Moreover, in addition to
controlling the executive branch, Republicans have controlled both
houses of Congress charged with oversight of financial regulators during
nearly every year of this period. Further, the GSE regulators charged
with ensuring safety and soundness at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were also appointed or retained by President Bush.

-The loser Bush Administration and Congressional Republicans understaffed and underfunded key regulatory offices at the SEC.In
2004, the Office of Risk Assessment (ORA) was established to
“anticipate, identify, and manage risks, focusing on early
identification of new or resurgent forms of fraud and illegal or
questionable activities.” Unfortunately, SEC Chairman Cox left the
Directorship of the ORA vacant from December 12, 2006 until February 28,
2008. Moreover, the SEC only had two employees working under Chairman
Cox despite the Fiscal Year 2006 budget request to eventually hire
fifteen full-time staff. (Securities and Exchange Commission, available here)

-Genius Bush Republicans blocked housing legislation as the crisis deepened. Even after reaching a bipartisan agreement on the Foreclosure Prevention Act, and its successor, the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008
(HERA) in June, some Republican Senators delayed the final passage of
the legislation for weeks. Between the two bills, Republicans conducted
six filibusters to prevent the passage of this legislation. In addition,
the White house numerous veto threats against both bills.

- Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan continued to encourage
higher-risk mortgages: “American consumers might benefit if lenders
provided greater mortgage product alternatives to the traditional
fixed-rate mortgage… The traditional fixed-rate mortgage may be an
expensive method of financing a home.” (2/23/04) Later, when “[a]sked
why he didn’t speak out, if he knew these practices were going on or
even suspected that there was something illegal or shady, Greenspan
admits, ‘While I was aware a lot of these practices were going on, I had
no notion of how significant they had become until very late. I didn’t
really get it until very late in 2005 and 2006.’” (CBS News, 9/13/07)

When you attempt to apply, or imply that someone should be become president because they are of a minority, you damned right it’s childish, and irresponsible.
The next time you try to spin a remark, try mine, I love your childish attempts. Nothing exemplifies your corrupted logic like your empty racist attacks.

”Only 42 percent of Republicans believe Obama was born in the United States. That’s an amazing statistic. How come in America Christians are the only ones who won’t take anything on faith?” —Bill Maher

Yes.

I know this is tough to follow, but here’s the question you can’t seem to answer: 

“So tell me, which conservatives do you offer us as models of competency since you hate Obama so much?” 

As early as 2002 Bush, and McCain were repeatedly warning of the faulty practices of Franny and Freddy. They actually started warning during the Clinton administration. Democrats in the Clinton administration resisted and pushed for continuing the loans. Suggesting this mess started with Bush is laughable, lol, lol, lol.
The real, and pertinent question is, what he hell is Obimbo, you remember him don’t you the clown in the White House, doing to correct the mistakes? Seems to me, he was one of the biggest supporters of giving loans to those that didn’t qualify. Remember ACORN!

No, it’s not tough to fallow, it’s more like, which one “couldn’t” beat Obimbo. That’s a tough question, knowing any one of them is far more competent. An attribute lost in Obimbo. Their are several who have the competency but, I’m leaning toward Romney. How about you, now that you know that the GOP will be in charge soon, which GOP candidate will you be voting for?
And for the record, I don’t hate Obimbo. He may be a great community organizer, and fun to play golf with but, come on, we’re talking about the office of the president. This is not a position that lends itself to incompetence, and that’s all he’s been. I’m just sorry the Democrats are not looking for an alternative candidate for us to look at. I’m an Independent, I’ll look at any qualified candidate.  

“are you trying to insinuate that she said dumb things cause she’s black?”

While I must admit I did “play the race card,” I honestly have NO idea how you got THAT out of what I said. I’m at a loss.

And sure. Maybe she’s out of touch. I get that. But, all of our politicians are out of touch. Why is there so much inordinate hate for her? Because she likes arugula?

And the steak and arugula thing. Do you mean this quote? 

“That’s right — my favorite, too. Arugula and steak, I like it a lot. That’s good stuff… But we find the same thing is true with young kids, and if they get
their palates adjusted to those very interesting flavors, they stay
connected.” (http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2011/11/in_hawaii_michelle_obama_warns.html)

That’s a far, far cry from what you said. Unless you’re talking about something else, you’re WAY off from her saying everyone should eat steak and arugula. You’re not even close.

No. I didn’t say you were stupid or racist. I said that your comments were stupid or racist.

I thought it was crude of you to pull the “gold teeth” comment out of nowhere. It went beyond the more casual racism people use for black communities. But, if that’s the kind of thing you’re constantly telling your children or the people in your community, if that’s a real, legitimate concern on par with not dealing drugs, more power to you. Good luck fighting the good fight.

Everyone who hates michelle obama based on her clothing and vacation expenses is just TALKING. Those words mean nothing unless there is an investigation to see how much michelle obama spent tax payer’s money. Seriously, of all people, did the republicans issue an investigation that actually can accuse michelle of spending tax payer’s money and send her to jail. It’s 4 years already and there isn’t one evidence that proves, than you guys are wasting your time. People are pathetic if they pay too much attention to the first lady, that role is useless. People, there is more important things to do than to despise michelle obama. Grow up.

LOL!

No where did anyone “apply” (LOL) or imply that someone should just become President because they are a minority. 

The specific words were (I’ve copied from above because you seem to be a little slow) “A black President means more to minorities than it does to everyone else – because it means there is no longer a glass ceiling on what minorities can accomplish in this country. “  and “A black woman who may have felt limitations in her life because of her skin color and resented it may feel a certain amount of relief to know someone of her race can make it to the top.”

Where do I “apply” (again, lol) or imply that minorities think they “should be become president because they are of a minority”?  Minorities see a black President and they feel that one of the greatest landmarks of success in this country is now attainable for minorities, and that racism did not stand in Obama’s way to attain it.  For that reason minorities see hope that if they work hard, that racism will not stand in their way of anything.

Plain and simple, you are fixated on a concept that is not presented here…I believe you are preoccupied with the stereotype that minorities want everything handed to them.  You should reject that line of thinking because if you believe it, then you are making your decision about a group of people based upon their race…and what do we call that ladies and gentlemen?  Racism.

Take your white cap and fancy dress elsewhere caconservative. Now would be a good time for you to commence your backpedaling or abandon this post – your choice.

So I take it caconservative, that you’re not going to post any proof or anything – right?  Why don’t you just stick your tongue out at me if you’re just going to say “I know you are but what am I”  HAHAHAHAHA

Here you go caconservative ;-P  Just your speed…LMFAO

Isnt that precious – caconservative is bringing out the CRE arguement.  He brainiac – you do know that the lending requirements for CREs are more stringent than regular mortages, correct?  And that CREs make up just a fraction of the mortgages made out in the 2000s, right?  And that the defualt rate of CREs is lower than on regular mortgages, right?

No – guess you didn’t.  Just a parrot who says they want a cracker but their brain is so small they don’t know what it means. 

Thank you.

You do know they paid for their accomodations, don’t you?  Oh you didn’t – humm.  Strange, I thought you knew something.

She is a beautiful woman.  If she sexually assaulted me, I would definitely not call the police!

Did I mention accomodations Sparky? Oh, I didn’t, hmmmm. Strange I thought you could read, Oh, hmmm, guess not!!

When you get done laughing at yourself, tell me what proof your looking for. Try to make sense.

You implied it when you brought up racism. You own it, nobody but you said it. Your whole statement implied it. Obama was not elected because he was Black. Race only enters the equation when people like you suggest that it ever applied in the first place.  

When I think about angry behavior in the public arena it’s generally a set of Conservative commentators that spring to mind: The Fox crew, Conservative talk back radio, Brietbart, who recently even referred to himself as ‘coming out snarling’.  These people are regularly given to angry words, whether directed at the First Lady, the President or Liberals generally.  Thesy are the ‘one rule for us another for them’ crew.  Even the behavior of Robert Gibbs, in cursing out Michelle Obama, is more an example of anger than any behavior the First Lady has shown – but at least he is consistent enough with his professed values to apologize for it.  

“It’s impossible to honestly assess this president given he has spent
more time and money hiding his past than all his predecessors combined.
In-truth, we actually know nothing about this man. ”
My guess is you wouldn’t know the truth if it bit you on the ass.
PLease stop repeating these tired nonsense talking points.

Which significant media figures cruelly attacked Sarah’s children? Seriously?  I know there were some nasty things on the internet and and maybe 1 or 2 other examples, but what was really ridiculous was the way the nasty comments of very few were suddenly blamed on every liberal and incuded in nonsense generalities.

Media figures like Limbaugh and Palin have made remarks about MO, as well as others.

One of the law professors that taught both of the Obamas was quite surprised it was not Michelle  running for president. He always thought she would enter the political world first.

Wow. This keeps getting brought up. Seriously , who exactly said mean things about Sarah’s kids, and how does the actions of a a few select jackasses get then blamed on all liberals eveywhere.

Let’s be honest – I played the race card, cause you did.  It’s a dumb game and such a waste of time and effort.  I swear the harmony between people has been harmed by 5 years.  That makes me both sad and angry.  I blame the Obama supporters who just couldn’t accept that some people didn’t want/like Obama just because, nothing to do with color.  Nobody says they don’t like Gingrich because he’s white – they just don’t like him!  It was so inflammatory and horrible and it continues to this day.  Michelle and her dumb comment about black female.  Hell, people thought Nancy was out of touch and she was a white female!  Laura Bush was liked by most because of her nature and temperament.  Some people are just lucky to have a personality that is mellow.  Wish we could all be that lucky.

Michelle’s dumb comment about steak and arugula?  Come on, parents who care make sure their children get a well balanced meal, no matter what their financial position.  Parents who don’t care (or don’t realize the importance of a well balanced diet are not going to adjust their habits and introduce their children to healthy foods.  Part of the problem is life styles – back in our parent’s day families didn’t go out to eat as often as they do now.  People think that’s what you do.  Well, my family saw many tight budget years but my Mother was the worlds best cook and bought cheap cuts of meat and made them taste heavenly, chicken backs and necks for soup etc.  Lots of vegetables (either home grown or in the winter only the ones that weren’t “hot house” expensive.    Mom always said, “you want to save – food is the easiest thing to save money on” and she didn’t mean by doing without or eating nothing but macaroni!  It’s a mindset.  Michelle talking about broadening children’s palettes is out of touch with reality.  There are so many down to earth tactics that she could be flogging to get the parents interested and arugula would not be on my/anyone’s list.  An overpriced, leaf not worth the money.  Let’s keep it real and think before we speak Michelle – then you wouldn’t be considered completely out of touch with reality.  

MAybe she’ll succeed where Hillary narrowly failed, but I actually doubt it. My guess would be that she’s seen enough of how dirty it can be to say “No thanks”

It’s partisan to the point of being ridiculous to blame the actions and words of a few individual jackasses on “the left” Rather than apologize for something I had zero part in I’d rather call jackasses what they are, whether they be liberal jackasses or conservative.

You’re correct that she’s a publivc figure and open to criticism and commentary. Just as it’s okay to point out when the criticism and commentary is partisan hogwash.
She cares about our very real dietary issues and national weight problem,  and wants to help imporve that, so she gets slammed for it in assinine ways that only points out the utter foolishness of certain critics.

So is your mama!

“He did, but it wasn’t an economic downturn in which he was demanding the rest of us give into a lower standard of living.”

No it was while he was helping to set up the economic downturn, and starting two wars and sending Ameriucans to kill and be killed.

I don’t know what the economic guidelines are for presidential vacations, do you?

So you finally admit you’re part of that demographic?

Yes, because a few seconds taken from entire sermons must definately be representative of the whole person, and that particular church.

You are one hateful little prick.

Care to back your bullshit up?

“The stakes are too high to consider anything but competence! ”

I think of that during every GOP debate.

Didn’t Bush sign a housing bill authorizing government subsidies for downpayments people couldn’t afford, agasint the protests of his fellow conservatives. Then two years later , just before the crash, he autrhorized the bailouts.

I think they’re giving her benefit of a doubt already. When i heard the interview, it sounded to me like she said, ” … since the day Barack announced that I’m some angry black woman.”

There was no pause after ‘announced’ to indicate the semicolon Mediaite has put in their transcription.

“Suggesting this mess started with Bush is laughable, lol, lol, lol.”

I don’t believe he started it. I believe the evidence shows he was complicit in it.

Both parties were corrupt in catering to corrupt crony capatalism.

I don’t believe anyone is saying anything like that. Personally I’d just like to hear rational arguments and see people making some atempt to apply one standard, instead of decrying in one party what they defend in their party of choice.
for one thing, I’d say the president realizes people have to cut back , but when has he or Michelle ever demanded that we do?
2ndly, what are the guidelines for 1st families taking vacations and where the money comes from?  What has traditionally happened in the past and how does that compare to what the Obams’s have done.
I’d like some indication that you’re not just repeating some conservative blog rant.

If you want to see how false this image of the First Lady is read her thesis from Princeton and decide for yourself. I found it to be little more than debauched and poorly written racism.

This is a woman obsessed with race and projects that concern onto people who have no interest in such things with a certain skin color but without faces or names, the very thing she claims to be against. In fact, she has no target other than white people.

LOL Oh come on. “Well, there are allegations made and that alone is evidence that there must be truth to it. ” Maybe you should look up what allegation means.

Yeah, the profits of a book about the 1st family couldn’t possibly be a motivation. That’s crazy talk.

Visiting reality,…where have you been?

It must be true because he keeps saying it over and over. That’s all we need to know. If he has a sincere bone in his body I’ve yet to see it.

They aren’t saying it, but their actions are.  It is rare, it seems, that a democrat actually says openly “Yeah, that guy who’s spending us into oblivion and isn’t making the economy significantly better?  Yeah, he and his family shouldn’t be going on such luxurious vacations to Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii, and Spain while people who pay those very taxes for this are having to scrape by.”

Well, Obama’s demanding the military cutback for one.  What is it, some 500,000 will lose jobs connected to his decision?  Interesting coincidence, he said he wants federal employees to get a pay raise.  That’s how you buy an election because that will effect Virginia specifically, a swing state.

During economic downturns, I don’t particularly remember Presidents jetsetting to anywhere and everywhere their heart’s desired.  He says we need to make sacrifices, he can start by setting an example of that.

Well, for starters: Andrew Sullivan, Bill Maher, Ed Shultz, Gawker, Family Guy, Wonkette…

152 million links, so you could spend a few hours looking for more if you have some free time.

Well, let’s see: you changed what I said and you didn’t address the substance.  You completely ignored my initial statement “It’d be hard to paint the image if the constant scowl wasn’t present” because you know it’s true.  Even when she’s smiling, which all look forced, it shines through bright as day.  Instead, you fall back to try to malign a reporter who’s probably liberal to begin with.  Not only that, but given such revelations from the book have yet to be refuted by the Obama administration directly, you fall back to their defense with nothing more than weak sarcasm, at best.
I’d say good luck passing off your pathetic attempt at defending them, but, well, you’re going to need more than luck.

So you can’t really discuss it in real fact based terms and comparisons of past standards. You can just keep repeating what you’ve heard.

I asked you specifically, when did Obama demand that average citizens cut back?

was I there during the sex change operation?

Grow up and quit with the spinning.  I stated nothing but the truth as I see it.  As for me being a prick – that would be difficult, perhaps you’re projecting again.

b.s.  Suddenly it’s not o.k.?  Give me a freaking break. 

Apologies from you for you partisan b.s. are in order.  It’s happened, and they’ve bent over in kindness about Michelle.  Nobody else got such kid glove treatment. 

As for her children – nobodies touched them.  Any stupid statements regarding them have come from their Dad. 

Let’s talk about the vile, creepy, horrible comments about Palin and her children.

Now, shut the hell up because I just threw up a little at your ignorant comment. 

Let the backpeddling begin then!!! Hahaha…boy I’ll say one thing, you sure don’t give up.  Good for you chuckles.

Las Vegas ring a bell?

Well the Gawker one and the wonkette one are the same one right? The family guy clip said nothing nasty about Trig or specal needs did it, Bill MAher is a foul mouth comic as is Louis CK. You’ll have to be more specific on the other two. I’m not spending my time sifting the truth from the bull on conservative blogs and comment pages. So far it seems you’ve made my point. Blaming all liberals for the jackass behaviour of a few is in itself jackass behaviour.

Are you for real?  I assume you’re one of Michelle’s assistants. 
So now we judge a statement on the level of hate? lol

What a dumb statement.

Wait, what, so Obama making cuts in military spending is demanding that the rest of us cut back? I thought that was dealing with our edbt crisis and cutting our massive spending was the right thing to do?

Once again, if you have anything in the way of reasonable factual based arguments that show what the guidelines on the presidents vacations and finances, and comparisons of past presidents and traditions I’d be interested in seeing them. Repeating some talking point with out the facts to make a real point doesn’t mean much.

Early on conservatives were critisizing him for taking too many vacations , completely oblivious of the fact that GWB had tajen even more. A talking point doesn’t mean much if you haven’t got the proper info to back it up

Caconservative, you’re so crazy (hope that doesn’t get me kicked off the board).  Obama never said in 2007 that “giving loans to people for homes who couldn’t afford them was a good thing.”

Clearly you have a derangement syndrome.  Or make it with the facts…

Everyone has acknowledged that Michelle O.  is a racist and anti-semite.

There wasn’t any substance to address. Personal opinions about her appearence such as “constant scowl” aren’t substantial comments. I didn’t malign anyone.  I commented on your last sentence because it’s silly and it’s pretty clear why that’s so.

Citations please.  Some evidence would be nice.

So she’s some angry black woman. What an idiot… She’s an angry black first lady…I’m still waiting to hear a smart word out of her.

“Spending ours on lavish vacations” sounds like you’re talking about the accommodations…maybe you saying that AF1 is lavish?  The majority of any costs associated with the President’s travel have to do with their use of AF1…bet you didn’t know that.  Hummm….let’s see.  In his first two years, Bush took 148 missions with 416 sorties aboard AF1, compared with 126 missions with 324 sorties for Obama over two years.  Who is blowing money anyway genius?  Looks like Obama is a cost savings over your boy…that’s good for our economy.  LOL.

Michelle has brought all the critisism upon herself, with remarks like, “I was never proud of my country until my husband was nominated!”, and many more idiotic remarks like that.  They are the most UnAmerican couple to ever live in the White House.  I could care less if they are Black, White, Red, or Green, it is attitude and love of our country that matters, and neither of the Obama’s love America, only if it changes to their ideals, which resemble those under Socialism.  I have not heard, in the last three years, any attacks on their children, which is how it should be, hands off children, they can’t help who their parents are.  There is a bright light coming in November though, when these two unAmerica will have to pack their bags and head back to the cess pool of corruption they came from, Chicago!

Docket/Court 94c 4094 (N.D Ill.) FH-Ill-0011 State/Territory Illinois.
Class action suit field, January, 1994.

You would have been better off not responding. Now you look even more foolish!

Now we are of common agreement. Both Party’s are guilty of gross-negligence. The fact is, Congress should have demanded enforcement of regulation already in place. This is what happens when Bureaucracies, who are not accountable, they are allowed to do nothing and perform at the behest of whatever Party is currently in power. The problem with Obimbo is his lack of enforcement. Why does he not enforce? To ask the question is to answer it.  

Now why are you posting (trying to post) a 1994 court case reference?  Do you think posting an unrelated case is going to prove anything but your lack of research skills?

1-You said “2007″…this case is 1994…which means you’re wrong on that count

2-You said “Did Obama sue Banks under CRE to force them to make loans to
people who couldn’t afford them.”…and the answer is no, especially if you are citing this case that was executed under the FHA and Civil Rights Act…which means you’re wrong on that one (0-2)

3-You said “In 2007, did Obimbo openly say that
giving loans to people for homes who couldn’t afford them was a good
thing.” and the answer is no…you’re wrong again slugger…(0-3)

You struck out genius.  Hit the showers, because you stink.

Lol. So, she’s honest  . . . and human.  She is saying it’s important to take care of yourself, if you’re going to do a good job of taking care of others.  Don’t you know it?

I think corruption and cronyism is rampant in both parties and even those few with decent intentions are rendered near ineffective by the rest. Just saw the recent report on the income discrepency between working class Americans and most of congress. It doesn’t make me hopeful.  Unfortunately I don’t see anyone in GOP candidates who I think are any better. Very little will really chage no matter who is elected. Any meaningful progress will take more effort and sacrifice than the public are willing to put in at this poiuint.

Ridiculous.  He’s not vacationing excessively – less than the other presidents – and the taxpayer funded costs are part and parcel of the presidency.  He’s hasn’t changed the rules. You’re just silly.  The circumstances of the particular president of the day will determine how much tax dollars are spent, not silly conservatives who will not accept the vote of the people.

They’re not spending your money at all.  The cost to the taxpayer comes from the protocols that are attached to the role of the Presidency.  Demanding they don’t take vacations, or take vacations in a tent set up in the back yard, is simply your garden variety Conservative screeching that the Obamas play by whatever rules they insist on setting.

Of course you go out and buy a pair of ear rings, or a playstation, or get your roof fixed.  That is the point of a stimulus.  The worst thing that could happen would be if everyone put the $600 in their bank account, and didn’t spend it.  It’s not the $600 going to the individual that provides the stimulus, it’s when those individuals spend the money on something, anything.  Billions are then injected into the economy and business profits from it.  The idea is the money is put to better use circulating in the marketplace than sitting in Treasury.  It might not be enough to resucitate the economy but at least understand the premise before you critisize it.

They are spending upward of $4,000,000,000. taxpayer dollars! Unemployment rate is outrageous, our National debt is over $16-Trillion, tens of thousands of people will loose their homes this year, and these scumbag haven’t got a clue, nor do they give a RAT’S ASS!!
Again, that’s $4,000,000,000. TAXPAYER DOLLARS, spent on a vacation. This clown hasn’t earned a $4.00 vacation!!

Good for you. Remember, anybody but Obimbo!

Michelle Bachman already dropped out,

You mean AF1 is luxury?  How is the President supposed to travel?  You mean the accommodations that the Obamas paid for themselves?  Seems like you don’t know much about their vacations and how they are paid for.
