Comments on: Cindy McCain's American Pride

[b-easy63]

Regarding Michelle%u2019s comment about being proud of her country and Cindy''''s attempts to parlay that into something negative: As a result of the ''''Obamamentum''''.. Michelle is NOT alone in those sentiments. Besides, it''''d be great to overcome our ridiculous way of racalizing each and every comment the other makes and engage in some real dialogue at some point. Perhaps Cindy can come up with something all her own. (It%u2019s probably not a good idea start a sparring match with Michelle anyway.)

I don''t think Cindy "racialized" her remarks--she was countering what Michelle said. On the other hand, Cindy comes across as a super botoxed, stepford wife from the 1960s and one can''t help remember that she was the woman, that McCAin dumped his wife for after he got back from Vietnam. A wife, who suffered disabilities and who waited and stood by him until his return--dumped her and the kids for money. That''s our McCAin. Idealism aside--he''ll go where the money goes. Cindy sounds, looks and acts like a mechanical robot. It would be hilarious if she actually did the robot and had smoke coming from under her collar like she short circuited. LMAO

Hilary and those who are campaigning with and for her--just don''''t get it--by attacking him--you alienate even your own base--we want change--tell us why Hilary is not the status quo and why she is planning to work with us not baby us, coddle us or smother us. Tell us what her solutions are--because NONE of the candidates can say they are not in the speech business--until they are President--speeches are pretty much all that they have. As for her work of 35 years--that is great. But the fact is--some people are born Generals and some are born foot soldiers--if you applaud yourself for being a foot soldier for 35 years, don''''t be surprised if people think that is your place and you should remain a foot soldier for 35 MORE years.

Regarding Michelle%u2019s comment about being proud of her country and Cindy''s attempts to parlay that into something negative: As a result of the ''Obamamentum'' & opportunity to be a part of something, this is the first time a LOT of us (fe/male, black/white and everyone in between) have been proud to be American (let alone proud of our country). In a country that has the history that ours does, regularly marginalizes soo many of us, and is still run by the good ole boys -- and girls(!), I see this an a ''feel-good'' moment for everyone: Michelle is NOT alone in those sentiments. Besides, it''d be great to overcome our ridiculous way of racalizing each and every comment the other makes and engage in some real dialogue at some point. Perhaps Cindy can come up with something all her own. (It%u2019s probably not a good idea start a sparring match with Michelle anyway.)

Really Cindy? Were you proud of your country when Bill Clinton was lying under oath or when it came out that he was discussing troop deployment on the telephone while Monica was under his desk? What vapid nonsence. Perhaps, if the obstacles you faced in life were not self-inflicted you might have a little more insight and depth to your character.

There is a photo online 2/19/2008 Milwaukee Journal taken at an huge Obama rally in Youngstown, Wisconsin last week of a young woman (who happens to be "black") listening intently to Obama speak and do you know what? Tears roll down her cheeks in that photo. Maybe Obama is describing the volunteers - work college opportunity for someone like herself. I would venture the young woman in the photo is moved by "Hope" by the possibility of "Change" in her very own life.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has endorsed Obama .
Let us not be so swift to judge one another''s words based upon the moccasins we have been given to wear in this American life.

Michelle Obama made a statement the size of a pin head and people have now blown up the statement to the size of a mountain.
I think that the people in this country need to be more concerned with the $100.01 cost for a barrel of oil. That cost will pass on to a higher cost of gas for our cars, food. Wake up Everyone we have more important issues to deal with -than a statement made.

Michelle Obama, I would venture is overwhelmed by the response of the melting pot of youth and the rest of us to the "Hope-We-Can-Believe- In" movement Senator Barack Obama has mounted in his extraordinary campaign for the presidency!
Remember Rosa Parks,remember MLK: Let justice roll down, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Amos 5:24
Century by century, Americans are more nearly being judged by more than the color of skin__ Americans, like the wife of Senator Obama, are proudest today because of the present ''08 primary happening before their eyes. Many are involved who have not ever been involved because they believe they count now.

I''ve lost all respect for John McCain for allowing his campaign to put this garbage out there. I mean really, have they no decency? As long as we''re comparing spouses it would be nice if the McCain camp told people who his wife really is. She''s never worked a day in her life. She''s a member of the lucky sperm club. She inherited a fortune from her father, who was in the brewing business. Cindy herself however didn''t go on to be accepted into one of the most highly regarded universities in the world as Michelle Obama was. No, Cindy spent her days doing nothing, accomplishing nothing. She inherited her daddy''s millions and spends her days standing behind her husband with a lunatic smile on her face at all times looking like the stepford wife she is, just like our current first robot, Laura Bush. Michelle Obama works for a living. She has a career, and raises a family at the same time. That%u2019s what I call a true woman. As for Cindy McCain.....call the butler to pour her another martini.
