Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Maurren is just lying and Biden's just crying (video ABC)......

    hHatchett must not have seen the letter from Mister Buck (l0:34 a.m) headed "The Children of the Opressors (sic) declare" in which everything was colour-related. The liars are the politicians who promise the world at the beginning of a campaign and, when the going gets tough, go back on every word they ever said because ambition overrides principle. Think about it!

    Everything I've written here about Obama (including the shafting of George Ryan and Blair Hull in Chicago), as well as what I've said about Joe Biden can be CHECKED. Wikipedia has its limits but it provides the bare bones in an impartial way. So far, Obama supporters have questione my sobriety (in terms of alcohol and drugs), my nationality, my intelligence, my mental competence and now my integrity. Well, I can say I never lied about my scholastic achievements (as Biden did) and I never cheated in an exam. (as Ted Kennedy did in Harvard). I'm not one to give personal histories either about my impoverished ancestors (like Biden) or how they, the ones who didn't have the money or opportunity to go to the New World, survived starvation through sheer courage and determination. The hatchet-job has called me a liar but I'm not asking anyone to take my word on Joseph Kennedy snr., on Obama's serendipity in Chicago in regard to Ryan and Hull, and, of course, Ted Kennedy's real character while coat-tailing on the reputation of his two elder brothers. This is the Information Age (that's how Biden was caught out plagiarising a powerful speech from Neil Kinnock, at that time leader of the British Labour Party). It's even easier now to check out the truth about important people and I suggest that you do before maligning me, Mr./Ms.hHatchett.
