Comments on: Michelle Obama On Working Motherhood

Wife Of Presumptive Democratic Nominee Says Kids Just Want Her To Be Back By Bedtime

[seah5]

sorry about the double post

[seah5]

he said she would always be a working mother.

"I used to get up in the morning and go to an office. Now I get up and go to a plane. ... My kids still don''t care where I am," she said. "They''ve always known two parents to work in the household and as long as we''re back in time for bedtime, they could care less where we are."

That is so very very sad.


I stayed at home to raise my kids until they were 13.
It was rough making ends meet and we did with out all the comforts and entertainment items in life.

It was the most valuable and rewarding, best moments of my life. My Children were The most precious part of life to me. How they turned out in life, was my responsibility.

My Kids always cared where I was and always had a phone number to call me anytime. Of course I would always check on them. Today they are grown, Fine young men. They still care where I am as I do them.

I do believe it will take more than a public relationship team to help Michelle obama.

I am seriously believing they need a mental health team to help them.

Michelle Obama''s no different than Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush, Jackie Kennedy, etc. or any other first lady placed into the spotlight.

I''ve yet to understand what makes her life so different than those other first ladies that she would be labeled an inconsiderate mother.

Sounds hypocritical to me, she''s a working career mother like a lot of working career mothers, no different.

That was an excellent post. I feel sorry for the Obama kids and I feel sorry for Michelle because she is missing the best part of being a mother. She isn''t there to kiss that scraped knee and make it magically all better etc...but the worst part is that she doesn''t even get it that she''s missing anything. How sad.

THE REAL HUSSEIN, HIS REAL HATE OF WHITEY, HIS REAL RACISM

FROM HIS OWN MOUTH

Wright / Obama: "White Folk''s Greed Runs A World In Need"

There''s only two kinds of white folks, there''s only two kinds, bad white folks and worse white folks. That''s the only two kinds of white folks there are. Malcolm X, used to say, from the teachings of the nation of terrorislam founder Elijah Muhammad, that all white folks are bad. He said if you find one good, kill him first before he turns bad. Because he''s only faking.

Actually it very common in America, when parents are working 2-3 jobs, Sad but true. I wish everyone was blessed to be stay at home parents, but you know bills must be paid, food bought, and futures established. Your grasping at straws!!!!

And you are telling me that Michelle Obama cannot "afford" to be a stay at home mom, huh? Who are you kidding?

[vetsforobama]

The "GET OVER IT" comment that you are referring to has once again been taken out of context, read the entire transcript, stop reporting half truths. Obama 08!

Oh this is funny. I can''t believe that I am going to defend Cindy McCain. NO - I am not voting for John McCain; however, who has a right to stand in judgment of Cindy McCain for having been born to wealth. That sounds a bit petty and paltry to me. On the other hand, let''s by all means praise a woman who worked on the board of a hospital that gouged the uninsured on medical expenses to the tune of three times what insured patients were billed. How many of those uninsured patients were working class mothers barely getting by while Mrs. Obama sat pretty making a small fortune off them and all the while claiming to champion their cause. What a farse....what an absolute joke. She is a champion of only one opportunistic cause....her own!

It''s good to see a woman of substance as a public persona.

The republicans are so afraid of strong women, they are scared of anyone who works for a living. They would rather have barbie-wannabe trust-fund beer-baron Cindy McCain who does not know how working women survive in America.

How arrogantly naive she truly is. As a working mother of four I can tell you there have been countless times during the day that my children darned sure cared where their parents were. There is so much that could and should be said here but I digress...it would be little more than spitting in the wind to try to convince anyone that this woman hasn''t a clue what it is to be a ''typical working class mom''. Moreover, I was the daughter of such a mom and I can tell you that there were many times I resented her not being there. Just because kids don''t say it, doesn''t make it so. Stupid, stupid, woman.....all education without an ounce of commen sense.
