Why is Obama trying to say there are rules? There are no rules. It's Dog eat Dog and he needs to just toughen up, and toughen his wife up. It's called "The First Family". I want a hungry couple who's willing to fight for what they believe in while holding hands.

That's quite an understatement when you calculate in the surprise professed by the Obamas at Jeremiah Wright's radical and anti-American rants. Was Michelle also not in church when Wright made such comments? Did Michelle also not read Wright's popular church newsmagazine?? A single glance at any issue of Wright's Trumpet magazine, and it's plain to see the radical politics he preaches at the black community. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan was on the cover of a December 2007 issue along with Reverend Wright’s description of him as a "21st century giant." In 2006, Wright likened hurricane Katrina to "the flood waters of white supremacy", adding "that is an analogy that we need to drum into the heads of our African-American children." Wright even goes as far as to call African-Americans "songbirds" who are locked in "this cage called America." Whose greatly admired pastor for 20 years!!?? "Potential Political Onslaught"??

You will make a SUPERB First Lady and mother of the nation and free world. By the way I am surprised that Mr President shoul is critisizing his country men from Israel.

She, like many of us, is proud that so many new faces (and old faces like mine) have been invigorated by the possibility of being lead by a person of dignity and intellectual weight...rather than by a puppet of politics, punditry and populist lies. The future has a new face because hope is possibility. Get used to the idea--we don't have to SETTLE for a President anymore if we don't want to.

Therefore, I truly understand what is meant by, "for the first time in your adult life you could feel proud." I feel blessed to witness such a history making time in my life. The REPS or DEMS can try and turn this any way they like. One thing is for sure, I forgot what it felt like to believe in this country or to believe strong heartly that one person can make a different. Being strong willed and straightforward is my personally, but I did not realize that the dream had die inside me. When I heard the words repeatly "yes we can", this became a part of me.
