Michelle Obama
Is it really any wonder that Michele Obama has a popularity problem? She is black and a woman. There are tons of ignorant people in this country who will not approve of a black or a woman no matter how good, how smart or how deserving she is of their grace.
This is why Barack, if he makes it to the Oval office, will truly be a minor miracle in the making. When you start off with a certain percentage of people that will not vote for you under any circumstances due to their racism, it means you have to get a much higher percentage of the rest of the voters in order to win. If he wins by 51% of the vote, it really means he has won by a landslide because of the significant percentage of the voting public that let their racist beliefs control their voting behavior.
Heck, even someone’s name can be a hindrance to obtaining votes so can you imagine what a factor like race plays in the dynamic?
Politics is a game of trying to get the majority of undecideds (latest poll says the % 0f the undecided voters is 14%) on your side who actually represent a small minority of the voters. Many people know from the start who they are voting for and will not waver in that regard especially if it is based on rascism or gender discrimination. In the case of a black (and/or female candidate), the road will therefore always be much tougher because you are handicapped from the beginning.
Let us hope that Obama can pull off this minor miracle.

The reason why white people dislike her is because she is very disrespectful to this country and to the people that served and currently serve it. When you say “this is the first time I am proud to be an American” you think that everyone will be ok with such a comment. People gave up their freedom and lives for a ungrateful bitch such as Michele Obama…
Semper FI …
Typical backward, redneck response.
Reason many do not care for Mrs. Obama is her disrespect to our country…not proud of it!!! It doesn’t matter whether she is black, white or purple…she and her husband openly disrespect what millions have stood up for. I will pray for them but I do not have to like them. Will they refuse to salute our flag or use our bible on inaguration day? probably…yet millions are still very proud of our United States of America…black, white or purple.
It’s people that do that now, and they don’t have no title, just admit that you hate that a black man is in charge of the nation, just get over it. he can’t do no more than the damage that has already been done.his job now is to try an clean up some of this mess from the past 8 years, and I believe that he can
this sounds like another bunce of racist, when will this world come together? we are all human, why in the world we have to put color before or after something. other countries are just sitting back and looking at the USA crumble simply because of racism still exist, it’s sad. I’m a white american,with a white husband and we both voted for obama, not because he’s black, we’ve always been repulicans. obama does have alot of good views and I think that he will make good on them, why the white americans just give the man a chance, the republicans have made a D big mess of this country, now he’s left to try and clean up some of this junk.I pledge that all white americans give him a break! he’s a good man and I know that he’ll do well, and all of this none sense about killing him needs to stop, God is his protector and know matter what you racist plan you can’t touch him what God has for him it’s for him.
SO PLEASE TO ALL OF MY WHITE FRIENDS STOP THE INSANITY, THE BEST MAN HAS WON AND JUST REMEMBER THAT MOSTLY WHITE PEOPLE PUT HIM THERE.
Agreed, the national dialogue has devolved to the pre-middle school level. Actually that may be an understatement.
It looks like the American Majority needs a “change” from Caucasian Male leadership…..you must admit that the country is pretty screwed up……Blago and Madoff hasn’t help the white guy either…..don’t be fooled….If we had a robust economy, all of our troops home and captured Osama, Obama would not exist….think about it…….
Your comment is so true and so sad.
It took a fascist, inept, lawbreaking warmonger who severely damaged our economy and our reputation around the world to get a very well educated, seemingly decent man elected.
What does that tell us about our values?
Speaking of First Lady Michelle Obama:
Michelle Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in her heart and mind she inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.
George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).
George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.
And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.
Many people know what Bush did.
And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.
Bush was absolute evil.
Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.
Bush is a psychological prisoner.
Bush has a lot to worry about.
Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.
In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
First off people on here using the term “redneck”. Please refrain from this because you are the first people to cry racism when someones uses the dreaded “N” word . These are both insults and obviously you don’t understand what a double standard is. Michelle Obama is a racist and a pathetic person. She who set at the sermons of a racist preacher for how many years??? Are you people that blind? Imagine if John M. Set at a service held by David Duke don’ you think people would be up in arms…no but since she is a minority things are different. Pathetic really! :pissedoff:
