First Lady Michelle Obama Reflects on her First Year

Spend, spend, spend.

Even though I am sick of these offensive remarks and black people’s forgiving nature, I am really sick of Bill Clinton and his little sneaky self. He has said some very nasty things about black people. I have never fed into black people’s claim that he was our “first black president”. He and his wife both had some nasty things to say about Obama that I won’t forget like, “Jesse Jackson won South Carolina too”.

“After one year, Obama’s “Strong Disapproval” figure (40%) already rivals that of George W. Bush after eight years (43%).
ROFLMAO!
I really enjoy Rasmussen’s growing list of excuses why his poll results are so different then everyone else’s.
“However, the difference is consistent with years of observations that Rasmussen Reports polling consistently shows a higher level of disapproval for the President than other polls. That may reflect the fact that there may be some people willing to offer a “somewhat disapprove” rating rather than say they “disapprove.”
Note that Bush’s disapproval rating was lower in Rasmussen than any other poll.
More from Scotty “Some of the gap on the negative side is probably the result of using an automated polling system (see methodology). Automated polls almost always record a higher negative rating for all politicians—regardless of party or ideology–than operator-assisted polls.”
Gotta keep those gullible right wingers paying from crosstabs doncha know.

What do these people do that ISN’T a success in their eyes?

“these people” . . . cute

Mission accomplished for Michelle ? For doing what? Having a garden planted at the White House? The Olympics to Chicago?

Obama and his liberal cronies based the entire campaign on lies and most Americans bought them. They will say what we want to hear and then do what they want to. Is Michelle “proud ti o be an American for the second time in her life”? Obama would let Harry Reid hold a KKK rally and burn a cross on the White House lawn if he thought it would help get his nonsensical useless health care reform spending bill passed. I may never vote for another Democrat.

“I know Harry Reid.” Priceless! The first liar doesn’t have a chance in this White House! If ms. obummer has spent more than 30 minutes with reid in her entire life..I will be amazed. The disdain these people show for the intelligence of their supporters is remarkable! Their supporters are brain dead or imbeciles, and the obummers know it!

and that why we chose rev. wright

Nice try ABC, but it won’t work..using Jimmy Choo to divert my attention from from Scotty Brown!

She’s an utter bore and not an elected official.

She is the first lady and following successful modern tradition leverages the free PR and attention that confers to promote bipartisan public service issues. Sure health living is boring. So was don’t do drugs, or the Women’s Health and Wellness Initiative. I hope she stays boring (as Hillary Clinton showed in the 90′s, we really don’t want the first spouse to do anything interesting).

Really???honestly??

We have an intelligent,dynamic First Lady. There will never be a way to measure the impact that she has had and will continue to have on African American women and young girls. She is a symbol to all young people of what you can achieve with hard work. I for one believe she is an excellent role model for all women. Those of you who make offensive comments about her are people who have allowed hate consume you and lost your credibility.

From one racist to another…of course she excuses his comments. She’s just as prejudice as he is. Racism suits the liberal agenda. It is very selective and is applied when needed to try and sway political opinion. How much longer do we have to endure these professional phonies? Why didn’t Obama invite Harry Reid for a beer and a teachable moment?

Sadly there are MANY dark skinned AAs that got the message loud and clear that Reid does not see them having a chance as president. Pretty insensitive not to apologize to THOSE people.

She sucks like her husband does. Democrats are the scum of the earth, period. They think everything they say and do is good; on judgment day, let them be judged.

1st year: “Attended functions, had photo ops.” It aint much to brag about and it certainly isn’t difficult. But give her a pat on the back anyway. It’s endemic in our whole society these days to consider the routine an “achievement.” It’s not her fault we are so shallow and intellectually vapid as to consider the packaging more important than what actually is inside the package.
If you put a turd in a gold box, it would look great on the outside, but nevertheless STILL stink to high heaven…

Pat Robertson really believes what he says about the Hatians having made a pack with the devil, regarding the expulsion of the French from their land ions ago. That said, his organization always assists groups in disaster whatever their race. He is not prejudiced just because he believes a legend that may be a matter of history. Also, the Democrats are all so phony. Whenever a Republican makes a racist sounding comment they all want him to get fired. Then they act so forgiving when one of their own do it. How could any group like the Dems show themselves to be the paragons of phonyness more than they have lately?

At one time I was seriously interested in the Obama’s. But as time, and knowledge of politicians come, I have come to see them as a typical couple interested only in what they believe, not what our country believes in. I would bet Michelle is finally proud, for the second time, of America…

It is surprising so much negativity is directed at the first family – I attribute it to ideologues attempting to score partisan political points with any cheap shots they can.

We on the right call that the truth T. You on the other hand call it as you have been told to. As to being a class act, she has a long way to go after seeing her in the Rev Wright’s church for 20 years watching him dis white americans and the system her husband is now screwing up. Chicago’s finest, eh?

do those defending reid’s comments on the basis that they were “true” understand that what they are endorsing is a leader of the democratic party who acknowledges that in 2008 the party chose a presidential candidate was almost purely an “identity politics” choice? in essence, reid exposed that THE reason obama was chosen was because he was a black guy who was “white enough” win? man, i’d sure be proud to support such a viewpoint if i were a democrat.

i’d sure be proud to support such a viewpoint if i were a democrat.

And you must be proud that out of the thousands of delegates at the last Republican convention before the election – two were black.
The right wing is ‘really in touch’.

Racism :rac⋅ism [rey-siz-uhm] –noun
When someone you don’t like says something you don’t like its racism. Otherwise its just an unfortunate choice of words.
When Rush Limbaugh says it, its racism, when a Democrat says it, its an innocent mistake.

Michele is “proud” of Harry Reid? LOL

GOP: pathological lying and corruption as party “policy” – “the end justifies the means”.

please explain how reid said nothing wrong, yet the boston cop who said absolutely nothing racist is a dummy?

Mrs. Obama’s comments remind us that she is NOW learning to voe America without regards for her people. Her comments are reflect her selfish interest ONLY.

Yeah right, I bet if Reid told her face to face that her husband had a good shot at winning due to his light skin and non Negro dialect she’d be singing a different tune.

Democrats and specially this administration are such hypocrites. If a Republican had uttered that phrase said by Reid they would be a firestorm from the libs and msm that would end the career of whoever said it. Simply hypocritical.

I think obama is doing a great job. And taxes have not increased for the middle class. They will increase for those higher than the middle class… as he stated when he campaigned.
He is not perfect, but no President has ever been.
Give the guy a break people.

Translation: “of course Harry Reid’s comments weren’t racially insensitive…he’s a democrat.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

You really have to laugh at those on the left who are quick to defend one of their own. They come up with some lame excuses to justify the remarks. Remember when Byrd used the “N” word. They were quick to justify that because they knew what was in the Klan member’s heart. Bottom line is had this been a person on the right, these same people and the media would have gone after them and run them out of town.

I specifically remember her remarks after her husband was nonimated by the Democrats “For the first time in my life I am proud to be an American”. They spent too many years with Rev. Wright in that racially bias church to change her spots. I would guess she too speaks from the side of her mouth just like her husband.

Wow guess Reid has set the standard for America. We can start talking and commenting as he did. Its OK. Being predjudice and making the comments reid and Clinton made is OK again in America. Did not know it was that easy to set us back 30 years. Just had to have a Democrate rekindal the flames.

So does the United Negro College Fund find their own name racist?

I agree with the First Lady….talk is Cheap….I don’t believe too much of what is said…..But I DO watch a person’s FEET…..their actions!

He doesn’t owe me an apology either. He just explained the distorted views of our country.
What I don’t get is RACIST TAKING UP A BANNER AGAINST RACISM……HAHA. Now that’s real funny. Boy, they would do ANYTHING to derail America. It won’t happen.

When will Michelle Obama “apologize” for her racial comments -”Barack can be shot just getting gas at gas station because he’s black”. “I am only now proud of America”, “You have to get away from your own ignorance and prejudice”…..”Whitie”..on and on, Michelle Obama is a disgrace also.

People who already WANT to be offended by the Obamas will see EVERYTHING they say or do as offensive. No surprise there.
But the truth is that Michelle Obama is a very gracious but also very knowledgeable, intelligent and well-studied woman – and she knows when remarks are intended to be hurtful and when they are not. She also knows enough about the American People’s motivations and fears to be able to see the underlying truths in Reid’s remarks – no matter the wording he used.
Barack Obama is a highly-engaged and honorable President – something quite refreshing after some recent experiences. That his very Presidency makes a major positive statement about America’s ability to resolve its own racial issues – albeit awfully slowly – is also a very positive point. Barack himself stated the meaning of his victory quite succinctly and emphatically during his speech on election night: America has said, “Yes, we CAN!”
Unfortunately, there yet remain those who continue to say “No, we won’t” or “No, we mustn’t” or simply “No!” It is they – and not the Obamas – who are disgraceful to our nation.

I bet she’d want an apology if John McCaine said that.
So far in her first year she has accomplished exactly the thing as her husband NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle only said Reid had no reason to apologize because she dose not want to apologize to all Americans for her sayings about America or to all White for her own racist statement!
I also find it sad that this country allows this double standard by the Dems and liberals! When has it become okay the two wrongs make a right? The Obama’s and the Democratic Party are showing more and more what and were the real problem is in this country. It is with in them self’s and there double standards closed door bribery and refusal to act as honest American citizens!

Tierra – enough already, we get it! You love the Obamas and everything the left does is great while everything the right does is wrong and evil. Your absolutist view-points and devotions to any and all policies of the left are both sad and annoying. Neither side is great as neither side seems to care about what is best for the America People. Catering to the desires of unions, corporations, lobbyists and every special interest group under the sun is what ALL politicians do these days. This endless right and left BS serves nothing but the political machine. It allows both sides to continue along the same path that has been reducing this nation for decades from greatness to a state of mediocrity. Open your eyes and at least try to see the truth about our current system and it endless failings. If people continue to cling to their dogmatic views of the two parties nothing will ever change, except for the continued decline of our lifestyles, freedoms and opportunities.
