I have searched for photos of this lady in her
younger years and found none.

Why?

Will she fist bump forien leaders to.

The use of such an unflattering photo in a journalistic presentation is the height of rudeness. -- Have our dirty politicians influenced the media so negatively that we can no longer trust their reports? -- If so, we need another arrangement. -- This will not do.

First of all Michelle is a liar when she talks of her and her Pied Pier supporting Gay rights...that in and of itself alone puts my vote to the Homophobic McCain, who is at least honest about his stand....The Obama''s on the other grand stand, will say anything, do anything and promise anything for a vote.

They are dishonest and care only for their personal agends..

What this means is that the PUMA style movement will not be over even after Senator Obama%u2019s defeat in November. Other election years as well could be in doubt for any candidate backed by the out of touch Party leadership. How long and painful a process this will be is up to the current Democratic Party leadership. The sooner they get out of the smoke filled back rooms and remember their Party is to be the sentinels of the democratic process of we the people the sooner these long time Democrats will let the PUMA loose in the wild and the Democratic Party will once again capture the White House and stay in control of congress.

As these life long Democrats watched their Party leaders on May 31st 2008 in the RBC meeting they felt they were witnessing Animal Farm come to life before there very eyes within their own Party. While many setting in the chairs at that meeting were in some way connected to or even part of the struggle to make the Democratic Party a %u201Cwe the people%u201D Party. Those very same people now as leaders have moved into the farm house and are behaving like those they struggled against. Once again Party bosses rain like the elite and cut deals in back rooms with indifference to we the people%u2019s voice so that once again not all members are given an equal voice.

Every Democratic Party leader or elected official should take note that all these long time Democrats have found their voice and will not abandon their Party, even those who have resigned will be back but only as united PUMA%u2019s. The Party must understand they will be back as Democratic Party PUMA%u2019s with a mission that is well thought out and action plans that are well defined to be carried out until there Party has the corrected re alignment once again.

What the DNC and other Party elected leaders do not realize is that this is not just a 2008 Presidential race issue but in reality is a much larger issue and therefore a longer project for the movement. The real issue is the need for re alignment of direction within the Party leadership as a whole. These life long Democrats view this need for re alignment a must happen action, which will most likely mean a change in Party leadership personnel. The pushing forward of the no experience and not near ready yet Obama as the Democratic Parties Presidential nominee is just a symptom of what is really wrong within the Party.

The real whys have to do with the wrongs done by the DNC toward the membership of their own Party and not all the inadequacies of Senator Obama as a Presidential candidate or even fact that the Party is not putting forward the one candidate that everyone since 2006 has agreed is the best candidate and only sure winner to recapture the White House. All these horrible wrongs by the Party leadership are the unifying force for all these groups of Democrats. These same Party leaderships wrongs is the sustaining power to there PUMA style movement%u2019s commitment of defeating Obama and fixing there Party. It is also what is making this movement a growing movement instead of shrinking movement.

Why are life long Democrats and liberal leaning or middle of the road American voters not going to vote for Senator Barack Obama in November, should he become the Democratic Parties nominee? The DNC is selling that Party unity is strong and there are no worries in November because the Democratic Party will be completely united. The agenda driven media will give this much more play then it deserves. We know Senator Obama has already pulled the gender card out and told all these life long Democrats %u201Cto just get over it%u201D as if this entire group is only bitter women over the age of 40. Just in case it is bigger then just women and does in fact includes men and others peoples groups such as rural Americans, out comes the tired ole race card yet once again as the only reason why these life long Democrats do not want him as the Party nominee and why they will not vote for him in November of course that would be no more true this time then it has been any other time Obama has used his race card tactic.
