“I didn't want to be the one to say this time, but you've taken the words out of my head, if not my mouth :)
Actually, if they had been anything but white, not only would they have NEVER gotten even as far as they did, but they would probably be incarcerated as we speak. Also, as you've said, no one would be laughing about it, but would have recognized it for what it was ... which was a serious breach of security.
But because they were white, this incident will become part of their reality show, and they will reap fame and fortune from it.”

“I agree Sabreen.
These are the people who call themselves the "real Americans" and the true patriots and Christians ... and yet, they are everything BUT that!
If they truly cared about their country, if they truly cared about their fellow man, and even if they truly cared about themselves, they would not pursue the path of hate they've embarked upon.
But as you've said, they don't care about anything except winning the political war and undermining anything and everything President Obama attempts to do on behalf of the American people and the citizens of the world.”

“I know what you mean.
Occasionally my husband gets upset with me when my friends or family call during dinner time. He seems to think that I have some special control over those who dial my number, outside of simply telling them not to call at all ... which I definitely will not do!
Likewise, it seems that Sam and Arthur (presumably the article's authors) believe that President Obama has control over who rings the White House doorbell. I have absolutely no doubt that former Presidents have also been visited by various interest groups over the years.
Yet, I don't recall the visits being focused with this kind of detail, much like I don't recall hearing about how much the First Lady's gym shoes cost or from which country abroad she orders her boots!
It's amazing the difference a black President and First Lady and family makes. The media lets nothing get by without full scrutiny and coverage; yet, they let the last President start a war and no one even bothered to question him about it un til it was too late!”

“I've noticed in reading the comments that the tro//s are very upset with this. What's up with that?
Why would ANYONE find it troubling that the President of the United States of America is being interviewed in a Christmas special by the most successful television hostess/produced/philanthropist/, etc. in America and possibly in the world?
It's so hard sometimes to keep up with the wrath of the right! I don't think even they know why they're so angry most of the time!”

“The goal of the repubs is to see the Pres!dent fail. Therefore everything is political - the 0lympics; children singing; Halloween; bowing; peace prize, etc. Any and everything the Pres!dent does is turned on it's head and becomes a negative in their eyes. They don't care if people have health care or not. No big accomplishments for the Pres!dent under any circumstances.
The re-thugs "political leaders" were invited to the State Dinner and they didn't show. They will show this Pres!dent absolutely no respect. That is why they will not denounce the ra.cism, or the /!es from their constituents. In fact they encourage the vitri0l.”

“StillIRise ... willful ignorance ... its called "willful ignorance". These folks HAVE NOT lost neither their country nor their status in it! People that look like them STILL earn the most money and run the govt and businesses of America! What is different ... some of those people betrayed them (ie Bush/Cheyne/RNC/Wall Street/Banks) AND they CAN NOT believe it! Will NOT believe it! It has robbed them of any "critical thinking" skills they may have ever had. So they cast about LOOKING for scape goats, someone, something to blame. It's gotta be their fellow American.... a Black guy whose President, the Mexicans, the Liberals, ACORN, the Dems ... aliens from "V" ... anything BUT those they trusted to make the "good and beneficial" decisions that would lead to peace and prosperity. The artificial distinction of "race" when speaking of Americans is used by the SAME folks that deceived and betrayed them ... to divide and conquer them ... into voting/acting AGAINST their best interest. The Palin’s, Beck’s,etc of the group “see” an opportunity to CASH IN for money and fame …

Perino: No Terrorist Attacks In America Under Bush (VIDEO)
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 13:02:23 in Politics
“We all know that 911 occurred on Bush's watch, that Dana Perino was not being truthful and that Sean Hannity participated in the lie by not correcting her ...
But guess what? The Fox fans believed every word she said, and that's all that matters to Perino and Hannity and the Fox News organization!
As long as they will be believed by their viewers, as long as they can continue to lie to them and manipulate them with impunity, then they don't care what the rest of us think or say. Their agenda is to play to the ignorance of their viewers, and so far, they've been very successful.”

“Lady StillIRise, you already know the types. They think that ONLY White Presidents, and in particular ReTHUGliKKKan White Presidents of their ilk, are supposed to have state dinners. In their twisted minds, Black people at these dinners should only be there as waiters, waitresses, cooks and servants, not serving as heads of state.”

Oh! Wait .......!
Maybe I'm confusing the Bushes with the Obamas, since it was Michelle, Barack and their children who were feeding the homeless last year, something I NEVER saw the Bushes do in their 8 years in the White House.”

Michelle Obama Ordered Thigh-High Boots From France: Report

“I know this may sound petty, but ...
Did we get a day by day itinerary of of everything the former First Ladies wore and bought, etc.?
Other First Families, prior to the Obamas, were far wealthier than Michelle and Barack, and I'm sure they occasionally ordered apparel for themselves and their family from France and from other places abroad also. Yet I don't remember ever reading or hearing about it.
State Dinner dresswear, I understand. But the price of her gym shoes and from where she orders her boots, I don't get!”

And when she picks a young, American-based (not necessarily American born), it's even better.”

“"Does anyone else find this a tad bit disturbing?"
NO ...
At least not those of us who know anything about the tradition of State Dinners that have been hosted by our Presidents and First Ladies for many years now.
What I DO find a tad bit disturbing is that this is the first time I've ever heard anyone compare, in a derogatory manner, the President and the First Lady to the British King and Queen, simply because they're following tradition ... or refer to a State Dinner as "partying," simply because it's being hosted by our first black President.”

“Sanjay Gupta's wife reminded me of something my Mom used to say as we were growing up:
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
Otherwise, I think most of the guests looked great, especially President and First Lady Obama! Michelle is gorgeous (so glad she left the bow out), and President Obama's beautiful smile makes him look good in anything he wears.
I love to see how he looks at Michelle, and she at him. They have a love connection that's hard to ignore ... although I'm sure that the tro//s not only try to ignore it anyway, but try to find a way to make it into something ugly.”
