   She won’t come to South Carolina because there’s no $1,000 sneakers here.

   We call ‘em “tennis shoes”.

   And two things we don’t do is we don’t pay $1,000 for tennis shoes and we don’t kiss the rear-end of some crybaby who pays $1,000 for tennis shoes.

    Without South Carolina, Obama would not be president now. Remember. . . Jesse Jackson won the SC primary too.

    It’s not that she’s scared of SC. . . it’s that she’s TOO GOOD for SC (in her own mind). SC is a very poor state for the most part. She’s high class from the big city of Chicago. She wouldn’t soil herself by going to the dirty dirty South that was instrumental in allowing her to be where she is today.

    Granted, the pulp mill and green scum may be an issue but don’t mess with my … oh wait … I do not seem to have any Grey Poupon … don’t touch my old yellow mustard!

    I beleive that there is more to this than just the Obama’s wanting to make a point. Obama has never stopped campaigning and this AP article has some insight as to why Michelle O wont be going to South Carolina:

    The same states that Obama targeted to win the White House are seeing an awful lot of the president, Vice President Joe Biden and top Cabinet officials. Only this year, the taxpayers are footing the multimillion-dollar tab for the trips, and Obama officials are delivering wheelbarrows of economic stimulus money — also compliments of taxpayers.

    An Associated Press review of administration travel records shows that three of every four official trips Obama and his key lieutenants made in his first seven months in office were to the 28 states Obama won. Add trips to Missouri and Montana — both of which Obama narrowly lost — and almost 80 percent of the administration’s official domestic travel has been concentrated in states likely to be key to Obama’s re-election effort in 2012.

    SC is not a poor state. We are very rich, conservative, patriotic and have alot of common sense. You need to check your facts before spouting out. SC has the best cost of living in the entire USA. Oops I shouldn’t have said that. We have plenty of ammo and guns and rednecks who shout out “You Lie” Most of the state is conservatives who left the north, We call them damn yankees. Our Governer can stand side by side with any democrat you put up against him. I don’t know where you get your facts but SC was a big McCain state.

See, for example, Stephens’s Cornerstone Speech (“The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization.

    The slavery question was the vexed one which troubled the relations of the army and the people in all the border States. My own position was that of the party which had elected Mr. Lincoln. We disclaimed any purpose of meddling with the institution in the States which remained loyal to the Union, whilst we held it to be within the war powers of the government to abolish it in the rebellious States. We also took satisfaction in enforcing the law which freed the “contrabands” who were employed by their masters in any service within the Confederate armies. These principles were generally understood and acquiesced in by the West Virginians; but it was impossible to come to any agreement in regard to fugitive slaves who took refuge in our camps. The soldiers and many of the officers would encourage the negroes to assert their freedom, and would resist attempts to recapture them. The owners, if Union men, would insist that the fugitives should be apprehended and restored to them by military authority.

    Major General JD Cox
    US Army

    No matter what your personal opinions may be, the facts remain evident that slavery was not ended in the North (who was ostensibly fighting a war “only” or “primarily” to end slavery?) until nearly two full years had elapsed since the final and finally legal emancipation of the slaves in the South and was not fully ended until finally, in January of 1865, a constitutional amendment was passed making the abolishment of slavery complete … in the North where it had continued unabated throughout the war years.
