    How quickly we forget

    The Obama campaign had to hire a team to try and soften the image of Michelle Obama who has been known to have ambiguous feelings about her country. Even though she was the beneficiary of a scholarship paid by our tax money, she wrote in her Princeton thesis that this country was founded on murders and crimes and many other comments which showed her she had for many years an ax to grind. After a choreographed performance and extremely well written speech, she has conquered the hearts of many americans who believe in beautiful words delivered with mastery. Forgotten are the 20 years of listening to Pastor Wright hateful rhetoric against the U.S. and Israel without a protest by Michelle Obama.When she said at the end of her speech,"God bless America" I couldn't forget the words of Pastor Wright "God Bless America No NO NO, God damn America". Some americans are so naive and believe everything.
