     educated by Republicans or Republican money no doubt (because I don’t think you went to public schools or had to get student loans or apply for scholarships)

     Michelle:

     Obviously Alyce did not read your bio. I recall that you once wrote that you were the only Republican at Oberlin College during your undergraduate years.

     lgm said: Michelle Obama is a better woman than what’s-her-name-McCain. Mrs. McCain is an heiress, a political Paris Hilton. Michelle Obama earned her entries to top Universities by academic excellence. What wealth she has is well earned.

     The following is taken from:
     http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/FloydandMaryBethBrown/2008/07/10/what_you_dont_know_about_cindy_mccain_will_surprise_you

     Long before she ever married John McCain in 1980, Cindy’s heart had been captured by the needs of the less fortunate, especially children. Her undergraduate degree is in Education and she has a Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Southern California. While a student working with severely disabled children, Cindy was part of a pilot study testing Movement Therapy, now a widely used and successful treatment.

     After receiving her degrees in California, Cindy returned to her home state of Arizona and began a teaching career at Agua Fria High School. While working at the school, which is located in a poor Phoenix neighborhood, she taught disabled children with special needs such as Down syndrome. The principal at the time, O.K. Fulton said, “She didn’t have to work. Her dad had lots of money, but she went beyond what the job called for.”

     Not what you may expect from the heiress of one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors, a business her father started after returning as a solider from WWII with a $10,000 loan. An only child, the former Cindy Lou Hensley, now chairman and majority owner of the company, can add successful businessperson to her resume. In addition to that, Cindy oversees a family charity that helps people in some of the poorest countries in the world receive medical care.

     Yeah, she sounds just like Paris Hilton. Partying it up. Going to jail all the time. Being a self centered jerk. I am sure that going to a public college, earning her degree and working with special needs kids in impoverished schools was all a cover up. Whatever. That’s the most obviously prejudiced statement you could have made about Mrs. McCain.

     Further more her father earned every penny he made. She rightfully inherited it. How in the bloody hell is that a measure of this woman’s worth or goodness?

     Agree the Kennedy clan has done many things they shouldn’t be proud of. But the discussion at hand is of potential First Ladies. If you want to open this up to politicians in general, I’m sure we can all come up with despicable characters and acts on both sides of the aisle.

     Well, Les, we could go back to 2004, and Teresa Heinz Kerry, a gold-digger from Mozambique, who snagged her first husband, John Heinz, while prowling for a rich husband in Switzerland.

     All Heinz Kerry ever did was spend the money she inherited from Husband #1 on her “foundations” that fund lefty causes with George Soros.

     Where’s the outrage on any of this? I guess the filthy rich are truely different and everyone here is just ok with that.

     According to your statement you don’t have any love loss for the rich, sounded like a rich haten liberal to me, you may not be on FS but at the least you sound jealous of people that are well to do, considering you think the rich are different than you.

     You know what they say, when you assume, you make a blind_mule out of you and me.

     I’m puzzled - to liberals is going from “Filipino Firecracker” to “Black Firecracker” an ethnic promotion or demotion?

     And keeping with the “black hole” offense spirit, being of pale Scandinavian-derived skin, I demand that “cracker” be stripped from the racially intolerant compound word “firecracker”.

     Michelle,
     Perhaps it would be a good idea to headline a post asking if this chick really is the one that works for the Economic Policy Institute, and if so, do they think her words reflect positively on the entire outfit? Their charts/studies are prominently displayed on the MSM as a way of pushing the lefty agenda….maybe illustrating the actual thinking of those folks playing with the numbers would help highlight what’s “really” going on around there?

     Just an idea.

     You must really hate the Kennedys.

     Someone along the line earned that money and gave it to their loved ones. Most people here would do no less in the same situation. How does this reflect poorly on the recipient? Michelle Obama’s not automatically “better” than Cindy McCain.

     Just for the record, Joe Kennedy “earned” his fortune running booze out of Canada during Prohibition, so the Kennedy fortune is based on a crime.

     That is why I call it the “Kennedy Crime Family.” Camelot = Con a lot.

     Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.

     While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it. Who’s the out-of-touch elitist?

     Ms. Obama is more like self interested opportunist.

     Even the NYTimes wrote about how niggardly (I used the word on purpose) the Obamas are with their charitable donations.

     See “Obamas’ Tax Returns Show Donation Spike.” For the whole article, go to
     http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/26/us/politics/26taxes.html

     A few gems from the article:

     Senator Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, sharply increased their charitable donations as Mr. Obama began to run for president and the family’s income increased from book sales, according to tax returns that the couple released on Tuesday.

     Can you say hypocrite? And it was the Trinity Church of Racism that got a hefty chunk of that.

     The Obamas’ returns are striking on a number of levels. They show that the couple made very few charitable contributions, sometimes less than 1 percent of taxable income, until Mr. Obama began his run for the White House.

     What can you add to that?

     “Their charitable giving only went up when it looked like he was campaigning for the presidential office,” said Paul L. Caron, a professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law and editor of the TaxProf Blog, which examines tax questions and has posted the returns.

     Ya think?

     The 2006 return also show a charitable deduction for a $13,000 donation to the Congressional Black Caucus. It is illegal to deduct political contributions as charitable contributions. The campaign said Mr. Obama had filed an amended return to eliminate that item as a deduction.

     The Messiah made a mistake? A Dukakian “oversight?” Oh my.

     The polls show that Americans agree with you abou MichelleO - even the media makeover didn’t help. Maybe more reinventings will do the trick.

     what if she said this recession is “mental”

     If she could get past her bitterness and hatred for America and were able to put together an intelligent sentence regarding economics, she would be correct: “Recession” is defined very specifically as a decline in GDP for two or more consecutive quarters. Haven’t had that. It seems you are confusing your personal depression over being stuck with an empty suit candidate-messiah whose wife exudes total bitterness with economics.

     and Americans should stop “whining”
     Would you support that statement or criticize it?

     I would agree with her advice on that if you’ll take the advice. Americans love a winner, but hate a whiner.

     You’ll really have to try a better diversion if ya wanna do a good thread hijack attempt.

     Now back to the question at hand: is MichelleO going to be even more of a Dem ticket drag than was Teresa in 2004?

     Big surprise, a bunch of liberals don’t understand something, so they make a movie about how mean Fox News is.
     On the off chance that the mentally challenged individuals are smart enough to read your blog, I’ll offer this explanation.
     First, two basic ideas. Fox News has commentators on at night who discuss the issues of the day. When a man runs for President, that man’s wife becomes the ‘First Lady’ and wields some power.
     What that means, liberal’s with small brains, is that Fox News discusses what people like the potential first lady says. Especially when she says that the first time she has been really proud of America is when her husband ran for President. Especially when the link to all the controversial, far left, and just plain ridiculous people in his life stem from her.
     Note to Rev. Jackson - you don’t have to cut Obama’s nuts off. Michelle already did a long time ago. They got married by a fringe lunatic. Their children were subjected to a far left, black seperatist religious leader their entire lives. Michelle Obama isn’t being unfairly attacked. She is being quite fairly attacked. If she doesn’t appreciate being talked about, she can kindly shut the hell up and stay away from microphones and camera’s. The fact is that her problem is that she opens her mouth and what comes out is sometimes ridiculous and irritating, if not down right insane.
     And congratulations to Michelle for becoming a proud black woman.

     One of the reasons I am looking forward to all forms of affirmative action being done away with is because whenever a black person achieves something, it is considered by some to be a “given” that the person must have used affirmative action to gain what they have.

     Michelle Obama is being accused of using affirmative action to get into not one….but two top quality schools. Yet, she passed all her exams and classes….and became a lawyer. Affirmative action does not take tests for people.

     It’s fine to dislike a person. I certainly dislike certain people. However, I won’t take anything away from them simply b/c I don’t like them.

     Or maybe MO is a better woman than CM because she didn’t steal drugs from a charity and was able to buy her way out of it. Or because she didn’t have an affair with a married man and break-up his marriage. Or because she doesn’t gets richer every day by selling alcohol to minors. I’ll give CM a pass on the felon father with Mob connections; she didn’t get to choose him though I’m sure she’s plenty happy she hit the lottery in the lucky sperm club.

     How are you not embarrassed to suggest that Cindy McCain is at greater risk of being thrown under a bus by her husband than Michelle Obama?????
