Obama called his wife "cute." Oh, how horrid. Not. OTOH I found McCain's joking encouragement to his 50 plus yr old wife to enter into a topless pageant a pathetic pander that pimped out his grandmom wife to get a few laughs from a bunch of drunks. Yeah, shame on Obama.

You clearly watched a different Michelle than I did. She was far more natural on the stage than almost anyone I've seen in a long time. She looked happy and confident and full of purpose. Michelle certainly bore no relation to the uber-plastic Cindy McCain. Now that's a lady I feel sorry for. Her smile looks tight and her eyes look wired.

I just watched the video and I was blown away by how natural and direct Michelle Obama came across. What was perhaps most impressive was that she was able to emphasize her role as a wife and mother without sacrificing her clear intellect. I kept thinking to myself, "when are you gonna run, Michelle?"

I was all for breastfeeding until my milk didn't come in. It happens folks and more often than you think. My baby was getting nothing or close to it and screaming for food. My sister was there and told me to feed him a bottle. I did, he slept and we are all happy ever after.

I pumped for about 2 months and then let that go since my son was primarily bottle-fed. Oh well. There are so many other things to worry about, mothers should not sweat this one. Your baby will be just fine.

Sheesh. I guess he and his family values cabal haven't seen the videos. Rompe anyone? How much grinding and thrusting and semi-nudity is OK for the kids? Certainly no worries about sex outside of marriage there or is it OK if the words are in spanish?

As a note, I would love for some Dem 527 to play this clip over and over for sheer embarressment value. Really John McCain, Daddy yankee?

Obama is the only viable candidate for president that will end the war period. Code Pink needs to get a grip. Stop screaming at your allies people!

That's basically it in a nutshell. Anyone who supported Hillary in the primary and is SWITCHING to McCain has an arterial flow problem above the neck. McCain has almost no issues in common with Clinton, so why vote for him? Stupidity.

It's absolutely perfect and so true. Please, Team Obama, play that tune over and over again on as many channels as possible. McCain is clueless about the economy, or I should say clueless about how an economy should work. Goodness knows it hasn't been working for most of us over the past several years.

Both of you share a basic problem which is that your are gullible. There is no issue here at all but your reaction perfectly illustrates why the DNC should go nasty on McCain and the GOP. You'll believe whatever you're told.

First, if you know anything about Barack Obama Snr., you would know that he had a total of four wives and several children, from the U.S. to Africa to the U.K.. Barack Obama grew up estranged from ALL of them. It was only through his own impetus and a desire to know his father's family better that he knows his extended family at all.

Secondly, George Obama is I believe almost 25 yrs younger than Barack Obama. They've met twice. He lives in Kenya with many other family members, who are NOT impoverished. The fact is that he is estranged from his family. Do you know why? If not, DON'T JUDGE. However one thing is clear. Barack Obama is not responsible for this situation. George, George's mother and her family are.

So now Obama is responsible for far-flung members of his family that he barely knows. Of course the low-life GOP wouldn't dare point out that this young manis estranged from the rest of his family as well, including his own mother who last I checked LIVES in Kenya. No, better to blame Obama.

Personally, I say a Dem 527 should start running interviews with Cindy McCain's half-siblings that are totally ignored by her wealthy family. Her father would have been called a deadbeat dad today and Cindy McCain is a liar when she states that she's an only child.

The reason why Obama has been slipping a bit is because he has been reticent to go as nasty as the GOP. Well, that's done. Whew! I say crucify McCain and Biden appears up for the job. Mock McCain for his constant references to POW experiences and ask," what the hell does that have to do with the mortgage crisis or education?"

Amelia is being a rather ordinary pre-teen with a need for a little attention and emotional support. I think her rationale for wearing pink hair has more to do with an emotional void left from her father's passing rather than identifying with his fight for cancer. I can't help but think that her father would probably have said, "go wash your hair girl and get back to class."

OTOH, I have a niggling suspicion that all is not right in the home if the mother is all for her daughter's loss of education in the face of dyed hair. Someone else said it. You pick your battles. This fight is about a hair color that Amelia will most likely get bored with once the attention goes away. Personally I think some shrewd adults at the school could help channel this girl's emotional upheaval into something positive like fundraising or cancer awareness. Make it a school-based project and give this bright little girl a channel for her energies and some validation in the process.
