I’m so sick of always bringing up this, for the first time in my adult life, I’m proud of my country. If you can get pass all the hate, think for one minute. I don’t know what Mrs. Obama meant, but I can tell you what I mean.My Great- Grandmother, Mother, and other Blacks have told me what life for Blacks were like. The way these people were treated, tell me what is it that they had to be proud of? When you were treated less than human. Get real people. When a kid could be taken out of his bed late at night, beaten, and kill, just because he whistle at a white woman.A kid. Black men could go fight for their country, come home and still treated like second class people. I don’t have to give a list of the way Blacks were treated in this country, this God fearing country. I remember Cindy McCain saying, I always been proud of my country. I wish I could have told her, course she has, she has always been white.

WOW! People I sense so much hate. Where is the Christian love that this great country was founded upon as you love to say? Is it just for one group of people? I believe Bush was a sorry President, I never went after Laura Bush. I always thought she was the best thing about G.W. But you know we can’t, we won’t all agree on everything. So let me say it like this, I am proud of Michelle Obama.

I was always more inspired by Laura Bush, myself. And by Condoleeza Rice. And by Olympia Snowe.
Jill Biden is more inspiring to me. She pursued a PhD, developed a career in teaching at the college level, and still travels as a good-will ambassador for our country. She does so in a more low-key manner than Michelle. Then again, she is the Second Lady, not the First, so that makes sense.
Michelle Obama is not the only woman in Washington who can inspire women. And what dream would one pursue to be like Michelle? First Lady? Where you are an extension of your more powerful spouse? Sounds relatively limiting as a dream.

This woman is so out of touch with the real people in America! She’s an embarrassment to our great country!

I just love First Lady Obama. I believe she has one of the strongest connections with the American public since Jacqueline Kennedy. She has inspired so many women to pursue their own dreams.
==========================================
I Agree. I think she’s very well liked.

“As far as setting the bar low, that was accomplished by the example of the last administration.”

Would this be the same “commitment to education” that led obumbles to talk erroneously about “Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur”?
Nice grasp of history there, smartest president ever. Where again are you claiming you got educated?
