Isn't she lovely?

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

    Thanks for those words. The reason they result to talking about Rev. Wright,elitism,being as rock star and Rezko is because they don't want to talk about the issues.

    Because then they would have to talk about the issues like an adult. Instead of coming up with quick fixes for our issues like gas taxes Obama would tell Americans the truth. But people like Buck don't want to hear the truth.

    The same thing happened in the 2004 debate between Kerry and Bush. Kerry understood Bush had gotten in a mess. He kept saying that they did not have a plan to win the peace. So, Kerry introduced a SURGE PLAN. It was not Gen. Petreaus. Kerry said in 2004 that we needed to have 200,000 troops in Iraq. He stated that we should take the French up on their offer to train the Iraqi troops. If we had did what he said in 2004 we would have saved lives on both sides;we would have save money and been out of there by now. In that same debate Kerry said what was dangerous about Bush was that he lack attention to details and that the lack of detailed analysis would get troops killed and he was right. But people like Buck wanted a buddy they could hunt, drink beer with and bash gays.
