Esprit...,

I agree that Michelle Obama's comments are likely to be exploited for political leverage, independent of intent or context. Some may advise a more judicious attention to her choice of words and phrasings, but now that she has been established by the "press" as a lightning-rod campaign figure, I believe almost anything she says is likely to be distorted for headline purposes or political gain.

Such intellectual dishonesty is what I find most unsettling about our political process. One reason I have warmed up to Barack Obama is that I see little of this form of political strategy used by his campaign.

Espirit, OH Paaahleeeze already. I might be one of the "right wing nuts" you speak of but this lady needs to take a vacation with Bill Clinton, so both candidates can run their "own" campaign. I grew up in an inner city environment and this lady has HUGE race issues. I can see it from here and I am on the West Coast. She is going to wreck it for her husband.........Michelle Obama.....Hillary's best friend.

The fact remains that Michelle Obama is in "corporate America" so whatever she is saying, it sounds like a whole lot of 'do as I say not as I do'.

A perfect match to her husband's 'I'll say whatever will get me elected, and then do whatever I want.'

CTV has maintained that Obama's camp did contact the Canadian ambassador to tell Canada not to worry about his NAFTA remarks, which were all for show and that he didn't mean what he was saying. In other words, he's lying straight-faced to the people of Ohio.

Obama is another ‘divide and conquer’ guy masquerading as a ‘uniter’. But I guess he adoring fans think that by changing the colour of the skin of the president, somehow a miraculous transformation will happen in American politics.

Obama is sitting on both sides of the fence on:
-Gay rights, where he tells gays he’s with them, but won’t have a picture taken with Mayor Gavin Newsom, and then reassures that right-wing anti-gay movement that he’s their friend, posing with homophobe Donnie McClurkin.
-Iraq, where he’s going to get the troops out but keep funding the private security contractor army to remain.
-His anti-war position, where his anti-war speech has been on and off his website, depending on public opinion polls.
-He says he’s all for universal healthcare, but won’t endorse a system with mandated participation, thereby dooming millions of Americans to continue with no coverage.

Will the real Obama please stand up? Oh, he will. Just as Dubya did. When you’re really, truly stuck with him.

Right. Nothing destroys a low income neighborhood like corporate investment and job growth. Screws up everything and a year or so later you can't recognize the place.

She's biting the hand that fed her, all for the sake of more class warfare from the left side of the aisle. Instead of carping against "Corporate America", why doesn't she try to "inspire others" and tell them how, even though she had to overcome obstacles, she's still been able to have a successful career and family. It's classic liberalism...never about how you can overcome obstacles as a positive message, always a carp about how much the system sucks and how government can "fix it".

What a bunch of hooey.

It's obvious from Mrs. Obamas comments that coming from humble beginnings doesn't prevent you from being self absorbed and arrogant.

Yes if you get an education you will probably have school loans to pay off. However, uncomfortable that might be it doesn't compare to the situations many adults are suffering throughout the world. Many of them are denied the privilege of going to school simply because they are females. Others are not allowed to go to school because they are not gifted with the ability to attend a public school funded by the government.

So please stop whinning and take a step back to see just how fortunate you really are to live in America, where you are afforded the luxury of an education.

RE: Amazing some people can't accept anything other than someone blowing smoke up their ass.

No, what's amazing is that you can't see that she's doing exactly that...blowing smoke up people's asses. In her corporate gig in 2005 she made twice what her husband made as a US Senator. Yea, Corporate America really sucked for her, didn't it?

There's nothing classy about dumping of other people's careers. Hard careers that required a lot of school work and determination. And, where does Queen Michelle think most of the people working for 'corporate America' came from? The middle class, of course. How dare she bash people who have worked their asses off to get where they are and make a good living for themselves? I love that she sits on many corporate boards...she's a stinking hypocrite to boot. Oh, and next time she needs a new car or drug for her sick kids, she should completely avoid evil corporate America...and pick up a pair of good shoes and let her kid's fever take it's course.

i give up.

why?

What a moron, what exactly has she said for you to call her a racists? You certainly win the idiot award on this post, "a black women is racists", I've hear it all now.

Actually, I think it was an attempt at a clever left-handed jab at Shrillary and her daughter. Shrill was a corporate attorney and her daughter works for a hedge fund. Notice the key word there was "an attempt".

she's not a democrat, she's an obamabat!
