-RetweetWhat Makes Michelle Obama Proud?

Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 11:15:02 am PST

Hot Air has video of Michelle Obama saying she has not been proud of America in her entire adult life—until now that her husband is running for President: Michelle Obama hasn’t been proud of America in at least 26 years?

I wasn’t shocked by the statement; it’s pretty standard “progressive” thinking. But it’s interesting to note that the person who said it is a graduate of Harvard Law School who has held many prestigious and highly paid professional positions, and has benefited enormously from living in a country of which she has never been proud.

Of course she's not proud. She knows her own worth. How can she be proud of a nation that has given someone of her worth so much?

How can she be proud, when she and her ilk have so far been only partly successful in bring about their socialist/communist workers utopia?

Here's something Americans can be proud of,

'Thank you' song dedicated to President BushStory Highlights
Liberia's pop queen to release "Thank you" song for Bush's visit to Africa


MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) -- In a humid rehearsal studio, Liberia's pop queen is practicing her newest single -- a song called "Thank you" to be released for President Bush's visit here next week.

US President George W. Bush speaks on the eve of the planned five-nation trip to Africa.

Her head tilted back, Juli Endee pulls the microphone close and belts out, "Thank you, George Bush."

"Thank you for democracy," she croons over the electric guitar, shaking her hips wrapped in yellow cloth. "Thank you for the rule of law," she sings. "Thank you for debt relief."

Bush is scheduled to head to Africa on Friday for a visit that will bring him to one of the few parts of the globe where people still have a favorable view of America. A recent Pew poll of 47 nations found that America's popularity is exceptionally high in Africa, where some hold the U.S. in higher regard than Americans do themselves.

America's popularity verges on exuberance in this nation founded in 1847 by freed U.S. slaves. "If you were to take a survey, you would find that there is not one Liberian that doesn't love George Bush," effuses pop star Endee, whose songs calling for peace were among the most played during Liberia's civil war.

The Bush administration has made Africa the centerpiece of its aid strategy. Twelve of the 15 countries receiving funding from the five-year, $15 billion President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief are in Africa. Nine African countries are among the 16 drawing grants from Bush's Millennium Challenge Corporation, which provides support to nations that have reached benchmarks from stemming corruption to investing in immunizations.

Since Bush took office, U.S. development aid to Africa has tripled, funding for HIV programs have vaulted from under $1 billion to over $6 billion per year and garment exports from Africa to America, fueled by special trade deals, increased sevenfold, according to U.S. statistics.

By the way, did you know the President is touring Africa, being praised by leaders and pop-stars and cheered as a hero by huge crowds of people?

For some reason, the US media doesn't think it's important. The link above was buried 3 clicks into CNN.

What the hell is it about male Democratic candidates and their wives?

Does anyone take their spouse or significant other to work with them?

Has anyone gotten a job because they offered their spouse to work a "co-job" with them?

WTF? Barak Obama, your husband, is the candidate Michelle. If you or Hillary would like to go through the full-scale humiliation like your husbands did to get to power I have no problem with it. But to ride their coattails to be a co-president or to skip all of the messy ass-kissing one has to do to get to office these days is an insult to all of the women trying to make it on their own political legs.

And I would feel that way if the roles were reversed.

In other words, she's owed her success and happiness - no reason for gratitude or pride in the country that has made such miracles possible. No need to give back .. only to keep taking, and taking some more.

She specifically says that she's "proud of our country, not just because Barack has done well, but because people are hungry for change."

That's pretty pathetic in & of itself.

At best, she's an idiot who is only trying to discuss the past few years. She is playing on the whole rhetoric that has swept Obama into prominence, & she is completely ignoring history. It's extremely narrow-minded to ignore things that have gone on before - a "what have you done for me lately" attitude that I hate, & not just because I was a history major.

She sounds clumsy, short-sighted and a little arrogant - but it's not like I was voting for him, anyway.

Cindy McCain just responded to this by saying "I have always been proud of my country"!

Yay Cindy...Right up there with "I worked with Jack Kennedy and you sir..." Just too bad Michelle wasn't there to say..."That was uncalled for" Cause you know that is what they will start sayin.

Her apologists who commented on Fox's blog are saying "but, but she said really proud." So she was proud before but now she's REALLY proud.

/Here we go again with the Democratic word play.

And if Barack is nominated she'd be really, really proud.

And if he's elected she'd be really, really, really proud.

She'll go back to NOT being proud after her husband has his legs taken out from under him by the Clinton machine or he gets trounced by McCain.

The messiah has no clothes; that revelation is coming in due course.

Either way, McCain wins the election by 2-4 percentage points.

In case any of you are interested, if you watch the video closely, she DID say "really proud" but the video skipped so you don't hear the "really." That being said, I still think she had a lot to be really proud of before her husband ran for POTUS.

To be absolutely honest, Jammie, I would really prefer the 1st Mrs. McCain .. the one he divorced after running around w/the beer heiress (aka Cindy) .. the one who waited faithfully for the jerk while he was a POW. Having said that, I'll take Cindy over the spouse of Billary and certainly over the female Obama.

Actually, to be kinder, and speaking of Change! , I understand Cindy McCain is in recovery from addiction .. and people in recovery are among the sanest I've ever met.

She's proud to see people hoping to unify around a few "basic common issues." That's usually been the case for adherents to a political party. What's so new about that idea?

That female scares me.

I was reading a few weeks or so ago that Obama's campaign staff was trying to keep her on a lower profile (not seeing it though lol) because of some of the things she is saying. In one thing I read, it was mentioned that the campaign staff knew that when he would conference in his wife to ask her how to handle some things, they knew they could not counter it even if it was wrong what she said. Wish I had links but google isn't turning them up for me..bummer.

I think she's a liability and that is good for us! Let her send her husband down the way of theresa heinz and john kerry!

I could never disrespect my husband like that and if I was running, my husband would not do that to me. He's running for the highest the most prestigious position of the world, not her and she doesn't seem to get that.

I watched MSNBC this morning just to see how they would spin this and they didn't disappoint. They had a Washington Post reporter on (brain froze and can't remember her name, but you would recognize her) who is a very reliable regurgitator of liberal talking points. MSNBC first tried to suggest the quote was taken out of context, but even the lib from the Post wasn't buying that. Then MSNBC suggested it wasn't a big deal and didn't "have any legs", but the lib from the post wasn't buying that either. It went back and forth like that for the whole interview, MSNBC spinning for Obama and the lib from the Post refusing to play along. It just shows how MSNBC has become such a ridicolous shill for the far left that even the reliably liberal Washington Post won't agree with them.

* brought aide to Indonesia after the tidal wave a few years back
* gave 15 billion dollars to Africa to help fight AIDS/malaria there
* allow for the equality of women in our country
* gave Mexico 1.5 billion for 'security' to assist those in need
* continue to give 'humanitarian assistance' to the 'Palestinians'
* helped to 'liberate' Kosovo from Serbia

It's so easy to be proud of your country when things are going your way, but it takes leadership and a real devotion to your country and one's own ideologies to feel pride when things don't look so rosy.

For example, it's easy for all of us here to feel pride when we see our troops go out or come home, or when we hear the first stirring bars of the National Anthem. It's only the true Americans that swallow their own personal pride and can be proud of their country when things don't go their way. For me, I'm always proud of our country on Inauguration Day, even if it's not for the candidate I supported. It's one day when we show the world through US pomp and ceremony how the orderly transfer of power works in a republic.

Mrs. Obama, America is not for the feckless or faint of heart for more so than other nations America requires a silent sort of pride that only those who have it understand.

I have found it (their talk of hope and change) the absolute height of arrogance about the Obama Campaign. Somehow without him I could have no hope in my country. And without him I not only should have no hope but there will be no change. I, for one, have nothing but hope in this country in spite of Mr. Obama. I wake up with nothing but hope. So, he gives people a lot of hope. But is it truly the goverment's purpose to give people hope? Of course not. Government doesn't exist to be a charity. It does not exist to make lives easier.

In addition, Mr. Obama believes that we need a "change". I am not entirely certain what kind of change he wants. This is one of the freest, most dynamic countries on earth. Anybody who wants to get ahead has the ability to do so. He is testament to that. Change to a more regulated, government-controlled society is not positive change. Our economy, in spite of the bumps we are currently facing, consistently grows and expands and allows everyone to participate who wants to.

Mr. Obama can keep his hope and change. I love my country just fine. We have done pretty darned well before him and will do just fine after him.

Well I'm convinced.

As was I. Not only was I convinced, but I was moved to tears by the eloquence, the articulation, and the judicious use of capital letters.

And the brilliant usage of the F-word. Such a shining example of college education. His parents should be proud.

OT. Slightly, anyways.

This little story has much improved my opinion of good ol' HillBilly. Some of those of us who have hunted ducks have remarked upon the difficulty. But man, HillBilly rachets it up another notch, all the way up to eleven.

[Link: www.cbsnews.com...]

Clinton was asked to discuss gun control which prompted Clinton to talk about her days holding a rifle in the cold, shallow waters in backwoods Arkansas.

“I’ve hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun’s up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, ‘we’re not going to shoot, you shoot.’ They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was,” Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.

So take that, all you macho posers. Not only can HillBilly kill a duck, she takes them on the wing using a rifle.

Who among us can claim as much?

Aguy was traveling through Mexico on vacation when, low and behold, he lost his wallet and all identification.
Cutting his trip short, he attempts to make his way home, but is stopped by the Customs Agent at the Tijuana border.
"May I see your identification, please?" asks the agent.
"I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replies the guy.
"Sure, buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no crossing the border," says the agent.
"But I can prove that I'm an American!" he exclaims. "I have a picture of Bill Clinton tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture of George Bush on the other."
"This I gotta see," replies the agent.
With that, Joe drops his pants and bends over in front of the agent.
"By golly, you're right!" exclaims the agent. "Go on home to Pennsylvania."
"Thanks!" he says. "But how did you know I was from Pennsylvania?"
The agent replies, "I recognized the picture of Ed Rendell in the middle."

INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer
of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names
with small American flags mounted on either side of it.

The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, "Good
morning Alex."

"Good morning Pastor," he replied, still focused the plaque.
"Pastor, what is this?" he asked.

The pastor said, "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and
women who died in the service."

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally,
little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked
"Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?"

It was entertainment night at the Senior Center . Claude the
hypnotist
exclaimed: 'I'm here to put you into a trance; I intend to
hypnotize
each and every member of the audience.'

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a
beautiful
antique pocket watch from his coat 'I want you each to keep your
eye on this
antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family
for six
generations'

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly
chanting,
'Watch the watch, watch the watch, and watch the watch...'

The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth,
light
gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes
followed
the swaying watch, until, suddenly, it slipped from the
hypnotist's fingers
and fell to the floor, shattering into a hundred pieces.

'SHIT' said the Hypnotist...

Totally OT, but when this apparent crock re Hussein broke the other day, I did not believe it, as there just is no level so low that the Billaries would not sink to, and keep on sinking, but why didn't Hussein's campaign manage to produce evidence about Huma/Shrill? Was he trying to protect a cult of islam member, or being polite?

I am hoping that Hussein takes Wisconsin, but in a state with same-day registration and indies voting? Who knows? He just has to get Shrillary knocked out on her (?) ugly ass before Junior Super Tuesday, on 4 March, if possible...but then McCain (ugh) will knock Hussein out either way.

So many seats went unsold at the Vet. At CBP, you usually can't just walk up on gameday & buy a bleacher seat like you could at the Vet, as games get sold out quick, especially in the last few years that the Phillies have been winning ball games. But one can buy standing room tickets day of the game.

Then he follows up and tells them they ought to pay their parents back, they squandered their education and their parents money.

Here's something from the Obama web site:

Plan for Ending the War in Iraq
“But conventional thinking in Washington lined up for war. The pundits judged the political winds to be blowing in the direction of the President. Despite - or perhaps because of how much experience they had in Washington, too many politicians feared looking weak and failed to ask hard questions. Too many took the President at his word instead of reading the intelligence for themselves. Congress gave the President the authority to go to war. Our only opportunity to stop the war was lost.

I made a different judgment. I thought our priority had to be finishing the fight in Afghanistan. I spoke out against what I called "a rash war' in Iraq. I worried about, ‘an occupation of undetermined length, with undetermined costs, and undetermined consequences.’ The full accounting of those costs and consequences will only be known to history. But the picture is beginning to come into focus.”

Washington State tries Constitutional end run.

Senate passes bill to change Electoral College process

The bill would change Washington's current system of typically giving all of the state's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the statewide election to awarding all of the state's delegates to the national popular vote winner.

Wow!. Talk about disenfranchising your voters. If I lived in Washington State, I'd be pissed.

But it's not really an end run since the Constitution specifically leaves it up to the individual State to choose how they select their Electoral College delegates.

She should be prod, that her husband was the first President of Harvard Law Review who NEVER wrote anything.

Obama the Titan, or the Cipher? [Matthew J. Franck]

Over at The Corner, John Derbyshire and Andy McCarthy have mused about the constitutional views of Barack Obama, of which there seems to be scant evidence. Their remarks put me in mind of an Emily Bazelon article at Slate last week, an embarrassingly gushy, crushy piece praising Obama's acumen as a legal and constitutional thinker. Bazelon describes him as "a former constitutional law professor" (remember when they said the same about Bill Clinton?), whose "lawyer team loves their man because he goes toe to toe with them." She relates an episode that Obama's law-professor admirers told her, in which four of them—"titans, all," Bazelon calls them (Harvard's Martha Minow and Laurence Tribe, Chicago's Cass Sunstein, and Georgetown's Neal Katyal)—worked on a draft speech about "law and democracy," only to have the candidate blow them all away with a superior version off the top of his head.

All this is by way of making a case that Barack Obama is so very knowledgeable about legal and constitutional matters that he can personally take charge of judicial appointments and legal policy questions and won't have to "outsource" his thinking on such matters.

Let's not get carried away, though. According to Obama's biographical entry in Michael Barone's Almanac of American Politics, Obama had the status of "lecturer" at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election as a U.S. senator in 2004. But in 1996 he was elected to the Illinois legislature, and from all appearances on the U. of C. law school's website (which now lists Obama as a "senior lecturer" on leave), the status of "lecturer" is like an adjunct or part-time appointment. He was never, as Bazelon describes him, a "professor" of constitutional law, though con law is often said to have been the subject he taught.

And what has Obama published on constitutional law or any other legal topic? Although he was president of the Harvard Law Review as a student, in which capacity he no doubt wrote some unsigned notes, a search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time. This is yet more indication that his status as "lecturer" at Chicago was not a regular faculty appointment, since regular full-time faculty are expected to produce scholarship.

Let me say that again. There appears to be not one single article, published talk, book review, or comment of any kind, anywhere in the professional legal literature, under Barack Obama's name, notwithstanding an apparent eleven-year teaching career in constitutional law at a top-flight law school.

But he is a titan of constitutional thought—nay, a super-titan, towering over the titanic Sunsteins and Tribes of the world. We will just have to take the word of Emily Bazelon and Obama's in-house fan club for that.

"I made a different judgment. I thought our priority had to be finishing the fight in Afghanistan. I spoke out against what I called "a rash war' in Iraq."

Obama implies he was in congress back then in 2003, when he was only elected to the Senate in 2004. taking office in January 2005.

Too many took the President at his word instead of reading the intelligence for themselves. Congress gave the President the authority to go to war.

Obama is telling a lie here. Members of congress did read the intelligence themselves. Which is why they believed, as did the Clinton administration, that Saddam had huge stockpiles of WMD, active weapons programs and operational relationships with various terrorist organizations. That's why Congress voted overwhelmingly on the resolution giving the President authority to go to way with Iraq.

US-Islamic forum in Gulf backs Obama

Delegates at a US-Islamic forum voiced support on Monday for US presidential hopeful Barack Obama, although some warned against expecting any radical policy change irrespective of who captures the White House.

Obama, who is vying to become the first black president of the United States, won overwhelming support in a mock election by more than 200 American and Muslim delegates at the US-Islamic World Forum in the Qatari capital.

His Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and Republican candidates won only a handful of votes.

Around 280 public figures and academics from 32 countries, including Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the US ambassador to the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, attended the fifth edition of the forum due to end in the gas-rich Gulf state later Monday.

Many Muslim delegates said they hoped to see Obama win the Democratic nomination and go on to be elected next November to succeed US President George W. Bush.

The Obmanation also has the fervor of encouraging "revolutionary" change -- yet what that change entails, Obama, the Messiah, hasn't explained yet.

In a time of war, how can anyone vote for Blame America Firsters?

During the last eight years, America's troops have emancipated or "liberated" millions of young girls who are now in school for the first time. We are investing in the poorest countries on Earth, sending malaria nets, medicine, the best troops on the planet, to help others.

As someone said here today, even our poor people drive themselves to the soup kitchen. What a country!

Yep. While there may be things about our country I don't like (for example, a shameful bitch and her inexperienced husband being seriously considered as White House occupants), I have always been proud to be an American.

While the Blame America Firsters are a core Obama constituency, they alone cannot elevate him to the Presidency. If the Obamas make the mistake of tossing them too much red meat, it will backfire.

In this video, some Berkeley High students arguing with a man about the causes of the Iraq War reveal that they've never heard of Al Qaeda:

Exactly. It's messianism -- yet devoid of "traditional" religion -- thus, it's a kind of secular messianism which can only point to Obama -- it's self-referential in a disturbingly narcissistic, navel-gazing way. The Obmanation also has the fervor of encouraging "revolutionary" change -- yet what that change entails, Obama, the Messiah, hasn't explained yet. (historically, it reminds me of Wiemar Republic years.)

Except we haven't suffered a humiliating military defeat, our currency, while hardly strong, isn't worthless and the French haven't occupied part of our country.

This whole "We just hate Bush and not America is utter BS. (See Clinton administration- the same riots, same anti-Americanism as there is today).

The new guy will have about a week (unless one civilian is killed anywhere in the world) before they turn on him.

Learn from the Palis.

We had 15 years of:

"It's not Israel, just Shamir!"

"It's not Israel, just Rabin!"

"It's not Israel, just Peres!"

"It's not Israel, just Bibi!" SOMETHING CLINTON AGREED WITH (Bibi is an obstacle to peace, said he).

"It's not Israel, just Barak!"

"It's not Israel, just Sharon!"

"It's not Israel, just Olmert!"

NPR had a story last week on all the remaining candidate's religions and their churches. They interviewed several white members of Obama's church, and made the church seem like a normal Christian church. One white member stated (paraphrasing) that it's "one thing to be proud of your race, and another to be hateful towards other races."

I really couldn't disagree with anything they said about his church, which made my NPR-loving wife smirk with satisfaction...

Yeah, seems like they can't find anything... At least, anything that wouldn't be PC... His Church, etc...

BTW interesting here... I talked with my friend who works for the CBS Evening News about the campaign and he had known nothing about Obama's church... He thought I was talking about saying he's a Muslim... But I said it was about his current place of worship...

The MSM has no clue nor do they want to find anything...

Charles, did you hear Dennis Prager's show today? He ran an audio clip that appears to show that someone tried, clumsily, to edit the word "really" out of her remarks.


Rush played it with the "really" left in. I don't like it when ANYONE edits what is truly said. What she said WAS bad enough without trying to escalate the issue. That's what the left msm does. Michelle Malkin used the edited version. Not good, Ms. Malkin.


A bit paranoid, there, guys.It's just a blip in the audio.


I'll bet you don't believe in black helicopters, either./

Too much of a coincidence - I think it was edited intentionally to make it sound like a blip in the audio. That is a real piss-off and just shows there are plenty of sleazebags to go around.

TO me that picture really tells it all, and lets one in to what is really going on in Olmerts head. In other pictures you can see all the other Phakestinian Terrorists in the background having a really good chuckle.

Ghetto Jew, Olmert, still thinks of himself as a diaspora Jew and not as the Head of State, Leader of the Jewish People, and keeper of Jerusalem that he is.

He looks like "the help".

He is a complete disgrace to every self respecting proud Jew.

Mosul girds for battle

U.S. and Iraqi army forces are setting the stage to oust al-Qaida from the northern city of Mosul, their last urban stronghold, following their route from Baquba.

U.S. military spokesmen say more than 1,000 U.S. and Iraqi soldiers are moving from large bases on the fringe of Mosul and setting up combat operations posts, or COPS, in the perilous western side of the city as well as in portions of the east across the Tigris River.

re: #515 buzzsawmonkey

What is going on today with the complete lack of strength among the Western "Leaders" is truly amazing and makes a strong argument towards Heavenly intervention.

You have the Olmert Umbrella Holding Incident, the Bush Sword Dance, Spain's early capitulation, and Englands rush towards Sharia.

This can only be explained by G-dly intervention. Besides the fact that Jewish prophets said that (During the ED) 1/2 of Jerusalem would fall into the hands of the enemy, and Israel would be run by Erev Rav (non Jews who hid amoung the Jews living Israel), etc., I can think of no rational reasons why the West's "leaders" would be failing so miserably on this front.

It truly is sad. Olmert must go!

Don't worry, does she speak Spanish?
Canadian, eh?
A young man from Victoria, BC was hired as the lifeguard at the pool at the Prime Minister's residence at 24 Sussex Drive. The Harper family was making use of the pool when one of their two children encountered some difficulty and cried for help.
The lifeguard ignored the cries, so Stephen himself had to plunge into the pool to rescue the boy.
Afterwords, Harper grilled the lifeguard. "You ass! Didn't you see that my son was in trouble?"
"Yes, sir, but I can't swim."
"How the hell did you land the job of lifeguard, then?"
''I'm bilingual."

Sorry to take so long, just saw your comments regarding taking ducks on the wing with a rifle. I'm just shocked she could pick out the banded on on the wing. However, I have taken pheasant on the wing with an arrow, and squirrels on the run with a scoped .22, so it is possible, but not really smart, to shoot a duck on the wing with a rifle. However, there is no way she did it.

re: #464 David Simon

I suspect that "reality" doesn't much matter -- it's perceptions. So, for the Democrats, the War in Iraq was a disaster from the beginning, and will (according to them and the MSM) only lead to a humiliating U.S. defeat (I recall hearing early on -- since 2003 -- the constant references to Vietnam.) In one sense, there's already a perceived "defeat." (why Obama insists on an immediate withdrawl from Iraq). With respect to currency -- again, it's the looming "crisis" mentality -- not necessarily "reality", but the perception -- the sub-prime mortgage lending melt-down; to the over reliance on China (the trade deficit); the continual funneling of oil money to Arab states (for the first time ever, today the price for oil went to 100 dollars), which enemy States, in turn, buy up U.S. banks, ports, etc. One continuously hears ominous warnings about an impending downturn in the economy...And, with respect to "occupation" -- the U.S. has yet to control its borders or put a stop to rampant illegal immigration...(These are some of the "worries" -- not fully realized yet -- but having horrendous "potential.")

A common dilemma for the black professional:
The pursuit of excellence is often clouded by an unending quest for "respect" from white people, who don't think in those terms and so never quite give it to them in adequate doses. This leads to simmering resentment.

I've also noticed that a lot of black professionals seem oblivious to the fact that life has not necessarily been a bowl of cherries for their white colleagues. Then you hear the silly game of "whose origins are the most humble." Like Obama's grandmother living in a shack.

One of the most successful white professionals I've worked with grew up (himself, as well as his grandma) in a shack in Illinois with no electricity or running water.

To the extent they are winning, it is because they believe in their own religion, while few of our leaders are strengthened by believing in the religion in which they were brought up. They are balloons without an anchor.

If you are right then we may as well slit our wrists right now. I think you are dead wrong - don't fall for the MSM's manipulative images.

Nice post except for these facts:

She is a 1985 cum laude graduate of Princeton University; a 1988 graduate of Harvard Law School; a former associate dean at the University of Chicago, and currently a vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

Yea, but did she earn any of those position or degree's or we're they heaped upon her because of someones need to excise their feelings of ancestral guilt over slavery?

I don't know how much of a role affirmative action played in her success. I do know there are many intelligent and highly educated African Americans who cannot match her achievements, which seem to be built upon successive accomplishments. Certainly many whites could expect at least a decent shot at entry into Harvard Law School with a Princeton diploma cum laude. My guess, and this is a guess, is that she benefited from affirmative action but was very competent and made the most of her opportunities. Hard to fault her for that. I think the record reflects that Michelle Obama would have quite successful on her own merits.

Rejecting a gay culture they perceive as white and effeminate, many black men have settled on a new identity, with its own vocabulary and customs and its own name: Down Low. There have always been men -- black and white -- who have had secret sexual lives with men. But the creation of an organized, underground subculture largely made up of black men who otherwise live straight lives is a phenomenon of the last decade. Many of the men at Flex tonight -- and many of the black men I met these past months in Cleveland, Atlanta, Florida, New York and Boston -- are on the Down Low, or on the DL, as they more often call it. Most date or marry women and engage sexually with men they meet only in anonymous settings like bathhouses and parks or through the Internet. Many of these men are young and from the inner city, where they live in a hypermasculine ''thug'' culture. Other DL men form romantic relationships with men and may even be peripheral participants in mainstream gay culture, all unknown to their colleagues and families. Most DL men identify themselves not as gay or bisexual but first and foremost as black. To them, as to many blacks, that equates to being inherently masculine.

Dear Mrs. Obama,

First congratulations on one of the biggest political upsets in American history. You beat the Clinton machine and that is a seminal accomplishment in US politics.

But I write you today because I think you have done a great disservice to the nation today with your comment about your pride in this country.

I think as an African American leader you have give short shrift to the only nation in human history to take a nation of disenfranchised people (most descended from former slaves) and fully emancipate them making them fully equal citizens under the law with the same rights as every other citizen. We are both well aware of what life was like in the South sixty years ago for blacks; fast forward to today and the only traces of that society are found on Confederate war memorials, old legal documents and court decisions and the collective memory of those old enough to remember how things used to be. Next to landing a man on the moon and D-Day, this might be one of the greatest national achievements in our history.

It is utterly amazing to look at your husband's possible selection as standard bearer of the Democratic party, the same party that counted people like Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia (a life long opponent of equal rights who is counter-rotating in the earth even as I write this at the prospect of your husband's national candidacy) as members.

I am sorry your glass is half full, perhaps, if I was in your shoes, I would not feel the same way. I am an incurable optimist and believe that better days are always ahead. Your husband has a good chance in November. If you by chance lose, the worst you will experience is life as a sitting US Senator's wife, which I happen to know is not a bad life at all. If you win, you will live thrilling days as the First Lady of the mightiest nation on this earth.

You should have been proud of this nation long before this week. Believe it or not there weren't many African American women that went to Princeton and then on to Harvard Law before you did. Think of the all of the talent that never got the chances you did. Personally, I am proud that this country judged you on your ability and talents alone; you owe it to the nation to put your resentment aside and look at this nation for what it is and what it has done.

Your husband will fight this campaign without his opponent ever resorting to use of race as an issue: Barack will be chosen or not chosen based on his ideas and the American public's determination of whether he is the better candidate or not. It is my contention that for every bigot there is at least one voter who is colorblind. Barrack's candidacy will succeed or fail based on his ability to convince voters of his ability to lead. That too is an unbelievable statement of what this nation has grown to be. This was true even before Barrack emerged as frontrunner. American society changed in two generations and I am sad that, up until today, you didn't notice.

The core ideal of this nation is the idea that each of us wish the best for this nation and offer the best wishes and hopes for whichever candidate wins and leads our nation. I wish you and Barack the sincerest best of luck to you no matter how this race turns out. But I hope you will restudy your thoughts about what you are proud of and be more appreciative of just how great this nation really is.

Sincerely,

Ghilmeini

PS I am available for a Supreme Court seat or Ambassador to the Czech Republic; if you need me contact Charles, he can put you in touch with me.

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

She made herself pretty clear - by comparing the "struggles" of a farmer with those of South Side Chicago denizens she strongly implied that class warfare is her real motivation.

She is part of a new class of anti-American demagogues to whom increasing pseudo-Marxist socialism, led by themselves, is the only cause for national pride.

I know you are sincere and are expressing a frustration and longing for strength that I share with you.

Olmert is not a legitimate leader - his popular support is less than 10%. In any normal country he would have been indicted for his duplicitous financial dealings. He may be a Jew but he does not love his country. Perhaps a few details about Olmert's family will enlighten you.

I used to give Bush a pass when he'd "ignore" allegations of all the malarky the dems would throw at him..because who can keep up you know, then I watched moderates as well as conservatives around me begin believing the lies that the dems were putting out there in their mantras. Then I cheered heavily when Cheney finally spoke up and said he is speaking out because he's sick and tired of the dems trying to "rewrite history". I was like..yeah finally someone speaks and condemns! Shortly after that, Bush began to do it but I think the damage was done to the moderates and average joe imo.

I no longer think ignoring accusations of a certain magnitude is an option for the people running for and holding highest office of the land. Credibility means everything and the way news travels, it's best to get in on the ground floor and explain or condemn before a lie is told so much it then becomes "the troof"!

re: #650 Carl in Jerusalem

How do you know he is a Jew and not the Erev Rav (IIRC that is the name)?

I don't. But the erev rav is not a distinct identifiable population today. In fact, it probably has not been one since the Jews entered Israel forty years after they left Egypt.

By the way, Olmert was elected in a sense - he headed the slate of the party that won the most votes in the election and therefore the then-President asked him to form the next government. The fact that Olmert has since proved himself to be a liar and a criminal is a separate issue. But keep in mind that Olmert ran on a platform of 'unilateral withdrawals' and that his party won the most seats in the Knesset. It's our own fault we're stuck with him - and with his foreign minister who still hasn't figured out that expelling all the Jews from Gaza was a mistake.

But, I'm trying to think of any politician that I love in their 2nd term..perhaps they exist but even with Arnold Swarzeneggar here in california, I'm done with him too and I loved the guy in his first term. I think something happens in politicians' second terms...

Although not unexpected...I stand correct re: Olmert being elected. It was my memory that Sharon was heading the party, then had a coma and Olmert just sort of took over. If it truly was their policy of "unilateral withdrawls" (ie: surrender) and they still got elected...well...[deleted]

I was learning End of Days with my rav and we were discussing the prophecy and the idea that Olmert & Co. are actually Erev Rav. This is why I ask the question, or put forth the proposition.

In 1972, the NEA's Indoctrination agenda was in its very early stages. Thirty plus years of the Liberal/NEA anti-American indoctrination of our children have to led to an empty suit such as Obama being such a viable candidate.

Sparrow, your opinion toward respecting Olmert simply because he is the leader is very interesting. It is the same thing I hear from my family but has not basis in Jewish tradition.

When you support policies that are harmful to the Jewish people, ethnic cleansing of Jews, and overtly anti-Jewish activity just because its being done by an secular Israeli leader is really scary to me.

I hold up Israeli leaders to the same bar that I would any other leader of a country in how they treat their Jews. An Israeli PM does not get a pass from me on his horrible treatment of Jews, or Jewish holy spots, simply because he is the PM of Israel.

Rubbish. I saw the clip and as an award winning Toastmaster I can tell you that that remark was part of a carefully crafted speech. She meant to say exactly what she said. She was not "winging it" and she and the Obama campaign should be held accountable.

HAWHAWHAW...

Here's the response I got from Obama vis-a-vis his Houston campaign office:

Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting us about an inappropriate flag that was displayed in a
volunteer office that is not in any way controlled by the Obama campaign. We
were disappointed to see this picture because it is both offensive to many
Cuban-Americans - and Americans of all backgrounds - and because it does not
reflect Senator Obama’s views.

Barack Obama has been very clear in putting forward a Cuba policy that is based
on one principle: freedom for the Cuban people
. For more information, please
click here:

[Link: factcheck.barackobama.com...]

Thank you again for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Obama for America

May I add that these donkeys with the hindquarters of worms and the feet of chickens have added me to their halal SPAM list?

Typically Obama. One bumper sticker policy that sounds great but actually means absolutely NOTHING. Freedom for Cuba? Freedom of what. Freedom to do what? Freedom to be on their own? Freedom to be under Fidel's brother's rule? Freedom to what? Freedom to attack the U.S.?

Yes they can have Freedom to change to hope...I would imagine

Seems Cuba got their "change" today. Doesn't look like much different than what they had. Which is exactly what we will get if Obama is elected.

re: #730 sparrowlake

Sparrow, your opinion toward respecting Olmert simply because he is the leader is very interesting. It is the same thing I hear from my family but has not basis in Jewish tradition.

When you support policies that are harmful to the Jewish people, ethnic cleansing of Jews, and overtly anti-Jewish activity just because its being done by an secular Israeli leader is really scary to me.

I hold up Israeli leaders to the same bar that I would any other leader of a country in how they treat their Jews. An Israeli PM does not get a pass from me on his horrible treatment of Jews, or Jewish holy spots, simply because he is the PM of Israel.

I respect your opinion although it pains me to see you toss around the phrase "ethnic cleansing of Jews". Equating Israeli leaders to real ethnic cleansing situations like Rhodesia, Ethiopia, Sudan or even Serbia is IMO unwarranted, even though my heart breaks for the Jewish settlers. I personally would like nothing better than for Israel to be able to successfully annex Gaza and the West Bank but that is more of a dream than a realistic goal.
You don't have to give anyone a pass but neither should you fall into the trap of raising the bar higher than you would for anyone else. Shalom.

Earlier today I was watching Fox News and a Dem spokeswoman was trying to sell the idea that Mrs. Obama should not be held accountable for an offhand remark.

Rubbish. I saw the clip and as an award winning Toastmaster I can tell you that that remark was part of a carefully crafted speech. She meant to say exactly what she said. She was not "winging it" and she and the Obama campaign should be held accountable.

(Full disclosure: Due to work related conflicts I regretfully had to end my involvement in Toastmasters International several years ago. If you've ever had any desire to learn public speaking you'll get more out of Toastmasters than you will out of a dozen college speech courses.

Thanks for the link.

Man you must really be consumed with hatred for Olmert to equate him with those two Jewish antisemites. Believe it or not I am not a fan of his either - but to me he is the legitimate head of the Israeli government and so as a diaspora Jew I feel obliged to respect that fact. And I know that he is not a clean politician, but neither is Netanyahu. So let's just leave it at that for now.
BTW your ability to write lyrics is nothing short of genius.

Any attacks directed at Michelle Obama over her comment about never having been proud of America are absolutely justified. Of course they are justified. And to me it is a truly offensive thing she said. To never be proud of something of yours is to be ashamed of it or at least indifferent toward it. Her husband wants to be President of a Nation that his wife is ashamed of. That makes me sick.

If she can't handle the heat, she should stay out of the kitchen. As soon as she steps up to microphone to make a campaign speech, she becomes a target for scrutiny.

Sigh. Don't you understand? It's the narrative, man. Ever since George Bush's fascist putsch in 2000, pride levels have gone down faster than FEMA trailers during Katrina.

In an effort to help the prideless of this impoverished country, I suggest we create a charitable organization to do the following:

1. Provide directions to the nearest ticket counter at the closest airport. Perhaps we can throw in advice on obtaining visas.

2. Put together a list of countries just slopping over with reasons to be proud. This can be ethnically-oriented without running afoul of liberal sentiments, I think. For Obama and wife -- Cuba, Kenya, Zimbabwe or Sudan might be lovely pride-restoring destinations.

3. In the event funds are lacking for a ticket, the more charitable among us can provide detailed instructions for building leaky boats and tide tables so they can determine the best times for fleeing off Miami's coastal areas. After all, the leaky flotillas of the shamed people from the US leaving this country for Havana are legendary.
Perhaps the Obama Family just needs the hint.

4. A few stamps so they can write to us and let us know how they're doing.

Maybe we can call it "Flotilla for the Shamed"?

The rest of the world hypocritically holds Israel to a higher standard because they want any excuse to bash Jews who fight back. I hold Olmert to a higher standard because I am Jewish. No Jew should treat any innocent person the way he is treating fellow Jews. If he would behave in a Jewish fashion, he would not be getting criticism from Jews. Talmud says "When someone comes to kill you, rise up & slay him first." Not "wait for him to get to you", but go get him! It definitely doesn't say "Drag Jews out of their homes to reward murderers of Jews with Jewish land in exchange for not even empty promises but NOTHING!"

829 TPK  Wed, Feb 20, 2008 1:43:39am

If there is one thing common to all leftists in the United States, it is this: no matter what progress, what change toward the better, has been made in our nation's history, it is never enough, and it never will be enough. Leftists are, by definition, ingrates. Whether they actively hate the United States or have fallen into a more passive pattern of resentment, they believe they will not be happy until America as an entity has ceased to exist.

Of course, even if this were to come to pass, they would continue to be ingrates and would continue to look around for an external imperfect object to focus their hatred upon. When it is practiced daily over the years, hatred becomes a habit that's harder to break than any addiction known to man.

Does it surprise anyone that Michelle Obama fits this template? Despite the fact that she has experienced a life of comfort, privilege, and the most liberal protection of her inalienable rights--a life, I might add, unknown to the overwhelming majority of human beings on this planet--she feels absolutely NO sense of gratitude for the nation that vouchsafed those rights for her and for millions of other Americans. NO recognition that America has shed so much of its once-virulent racism. NO discernible appreciation of the many Americans of all races who are voting in large numbers for her husband in the primaries. (And, not incidentally, little to no indication she respects her husband as a person, much less as a Presidential candidate.)

It would be pleasant to have a First Lady who shows a love for the nation she symbolically represents as wife of the Commander in Chief. Someone who clearly loves her husband and refrains from publicly demeaning his abilities as an individual. Someone with taste and class. You know, someone a little like Laura Bush.

Maybe Michelle is so embarrassed by her native country that she and her all-changing ever morphing husband should take a sabbatical in one of those thirdworld paradises like Indonesia, Kenya, or Saudi Arabia. The left wing is all about talking trash about the US. I thought Babs Streisand and assorted other holly-weird types were going to move to France once Bush was reelected. I'm still waiting for them to go. I'd love to see Michelle wearing a headscarf and having to ride in the "women only"section of a bus in Iran... followed by a run in with their morales police for her dress not being long enough. Maybe then she'd finally have soemthing positive to say about the country which has given her so much.

835 arizona9  Wed, Feb 20, 2008 11:54:45am
uncomfortable speaking at the event could she have mangled her words due to stage fright?

No, it was part of a prepared speech that she's made many times. Sometimes she says 'proud' sometimes she switches it up and says 'very proud' but the rest is part of a written text. She said exactly what she meant.

Don't kid yourself about "prestigious" universities -- Harvard is filled with Marxist idiots, like every other university.

Charles, did you hear Dennis Prager's show today? He ran an audio clip that appears to show that someone tried, clumsily, to edit the word "really" out of her remarks.

Rush played it with the "really" left in. I don't like it when ANYONE edits what is truly said. What she said WAS bad enough without trying to escalate the issue. That's what the left msm does. Michelle Malkin used the edited version. Not good, Ms. Malkin.

Mrs BHO evidently gave a similar speech twice that day in Wisconsin -- the first time (in Milwaukee), there was no "really", later in the day (in Madison), she added the "really."

Here's the clip that shows both, which should probably be added to the LGF main page as an addendum:

Who sprayed Teflon on Obama? The press seems willing to give him and his lovely wife a 'pass' on this. Shameful.

Will Americans really elevate this woman to First Lady? G*d help us.

I’m voting for Obama because he is inspiring those who have never been inspired by a politician; he is the anti-politician

I’m voting for Obama because he will move people to be greater than what they currently are, he will rally the young and old, left and right, black and white to come together and reach for greatness.

I’m voting for Obama because he is a proponent of change and hope –something our world desperately needs.

I’m voting for Obama because His ability to lift the spirits of those who are oppressed is evident in his soaring speeches not seen since Dr. King; this will truly heal the damaged reputation of the U.S. abroad.

I’m voting for Obama because he will provoke change and transformation in our nation, our communities, and ultimately, in ourselves.

He bridges the racial divide of inequality and resentment that plague us- he will repair the years of brokeness that have gone before us. In him the ivory tower of Ivy League schooling and inner city desperation kiss in an intimate resolution of tension, strife and the chasm of want.

He inspired Will.i.am to write a great song and video, showing he has the ability to transcend artistic barriers of indifference and greed, uniting those would otherwise be prone to capitalist quarreling.

I’m voting for Obama because He is in his forties just like Bill Clinton was. And just like JFK was.

I’m voting for Obama because He is willing to speak with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad – and other misunderstood leaders of developing nations letting them know that, yes, we can.

I’m voting for Obama because he was not subjected to 5 years of Vietnamese imprisonment and torture, thereby proving his youthful vitality and ability to stay out of harrowing and unnecessary wars.

I’m voting for Obama because He will bring home the troops and finally leave Iraq to flourish in peace and prosperity.

I’m voting for Obama because He is so cool he is bound to have an effect on global warming.

I’m voting for Obama because I love the sound of beautiful words that sing like Clay Aiken on a warm summer day.

I’m voting for Obama because He makes me feel good about myself.

And what I feel defines what is real.

When I vote for Obama, I vote for me.
