Isn't she lovely? In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Said he almost puked in his mouth after her speech. LOL! He must shit everytime Bush speaks. Who can forget this doozy. "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice uh, uh,uh,can't fool me again. Or how about Bush trying to get out of a locked door door when he visited China. That was the funniest sight you ever wanted to see. Buck and the Trolls must have pissed their pants when that fool Cheney shot his buddy in the face while hunting.

    The Obamas are damned if they do or don't to Buck and the Trolls. If they follow the rules and do well they are elitist. If they talk about their upbringing they are victims.

    These victims worked hard,got and education and went into public service. McCain got into college on his father and grandfathers coattails. Was 894th out of 895 graduates. He not only divorced his wife but called her a "cunt." Bought one of his many houses with his girlfriend before he was divorced. But to the trolls Obama is untrustworthy.

    If the Obamas say anything to tough against McCain they are uppity but if they try to change the game and talk about the issues they are not tough enough.

    while Obama was cleared of any charges in the Rezko case it does not matter to Buck and the Trolls. McCaine on the other hand was implicated in the Keating S and L scandal and was reprimended by the ethics committee.

    McCain can out right lie about how safe it was in the Iraq market while he had American troops surrounding him. He lied about being in the cone of silence with his ear to the wall but what makes Buck and and the Trolls mad and puke is a good speech by Michelle.

    Americans are paying higher prices on gas, milk, bread,utilities and losing their houses but Buck and the Trolls are talking about a wig. The Republicans say the Democrats will raise your taxes. what do you call all the raises in cost of living. The Republicans say we should let the market decide when they are making money but bail out CEO's when their companies go under.

    The Republicans are all over the media for giving Obama favorable press and they want equal time. But when they are asked to for the fairness doctrine to give equal time on the radio they cry. Republican Troll hypocrites.

    The Republicans were in control of the house, senate and White House for six years but all the trolls want to talk about is Obama being bi-racial. McCain and his buddies controlled all three branches of government for six years TROLLS and they did nothing but raise your cost of living but what is important to the Trolls is OBama doesn;t have enough experience. For six years McCain's experience did not get anything done but restrict more American's rights.

    The trolls are not going to be happy until McCain lies us into a war with Iran,China, Russia and N. Korea.

    Michelle Obama was lovely last night. Her speech was not great but it was great symbolism to a nation that while founded in slavery has now made theory real. It showed that any citizen can acheive the highest heights with hard,work, integrity, charecter and faith.

    The Obama's showed young Men and women of all races that there is no reason for failure. You can't use I am to black, poor, bi-racial, or come from a single parent to not be the best you can be. Michelle's shout out to the world was that America is the greatest country in the world.

    No other country can boast of this great accomplishment. She did was she was born to do and that is be a beacon to the world that faith,hope and charity can move moutains. That is what good Americans do. If that makes you puke then maybe your just full of shit.

  • And you believe her, huh?

    Ms Obama told joe and jane six pack what her handlers told her J & J want to hear. But that only tells us that she wants to become the next first lady, not what she really believes.

    What she really believes is what she has said in less guarded moments on the campaign trail. What she really believes is what the pastor whose church she has attended for so many years has said about America.

    If the wife of a GOP Presidential candidate who had attended a church associated with Bob Jones University, who had made some out of the mainstream right wing comments during the campaign season, and who then went to the GOP convention and talked about feeding the poor and diversity and inclusion, would you all be skeptical?

    So I am skeptical. But no matter. It is the fact that Obama and Biden are, along with Mr Kennedy, the 3 most liberal US Senators, that matters to many of us. It will be fun to watch them pretend otherwise this week.

    By the way, if the NRA does a good job of explaining to its mebmership just how close they were to having their gun rights taken away by the kinds of justices that Obama will certainly nominate, the Dems could once more lose the election.

  • I don't know about the rest

    but Falhaar and AKA aren't "trolls." I may not agree with everything they say, but they seem willing to engage in intelligent debate with other posters like Hutman, who is always happy to spar civilly with just about anyone (and has far more patience than I ever do). The others may just be hold-my-hands-over-my-ears-and-stick-out-my-tongue types. Lalalalala, can't hear you, and you're a poopy-head.

  • @ HHatchet

    What's the great accomplishment? Getting into Princeton based on affirmative action, then getting into law school based on affirmative action, and then getting an over $100,000K salaried job based on affirmative action, and then getting a $300,000K salaried job based on your husband's political ties, and then getting up on a podium and saying how great this country is (something she didn't actually think until she had to make this speech)? Cool. That took a lot of work. Love living in a meritocracy. Oh wait- the great accomplishment isn't anything she actually did, it's the mere fact that she's black and did some things. Wow. Call me underwhelmed, or call her speech self-congratulatory, i don't know. Also, her "accomplishments" are in direct contradiction to her and Obama's supposed stands on issues like health care. Whatever, that doesn't matter to you because with Obama supporters it's really not about the issues, it's about being a cool liberal with a superiority complex based on nothing.
