you fiercerly attacked bill clinton before, why not allow other people to attack yours?

Maybe it's time the "liberal media" which hasn't said a negative thing about Cindy finally bring up her drug addictions and other issue's...Then maybe we'll get McCain to blow up like he did when Bush brought it up in the primaries back in 2000. Let's see, my pick for first lady....a plastic looking, millionaire drug abuser who distributes beer she inherited from her daddy, or an intelligent, outspoken, strong woman who's come from the ground up and who works to improve healthcare access to those in Chicago....who do I want women to have for a rolemodel...I'll take Michelle Obama any day.

I love to hear Michelle speak. She's doing a wonderful job in spite of the haters. People are just jealous because she has a higher approval rating than Barbie- let-me-ask-my-husband-if-I-can-speak McCain.

"Scott" said... "She's the one who said she wasn't proud of her country until now. Besides…Obama's problem if he wins the WH would be where to put the likes of Rev Jackson, Wright, Sharpton, Farrakan in his cabinet?" WOW Scott, YOU are a racist to even make a comment like that! Obama denounced Wright, is on the outs with Jackson and NEVER had Sharpton or Farrakan involved in his campaign. YOU are showing your true racist colors. Most of the white people who blog against Obama do it because thay are BIGOTS. Get past the hatred you morons, this is 2008! By the way, I am a white, middle aged man.

It is really a shame that the media (fox etc) keeping showing over and over Michelle's statement. I havn't always been proud of America either, does that make me unpatriotic? American doesn't have a good history especially where african americans are concerned. Give the Obamas credit for working hard and trying to be good citizens. Obama has inspired so many people. Leave Michelle alone!!!!!

Whine and cry some more Obama. People didn't tell that wife of yours to open her mouth and inser her foot by "finally being proud of America for the first time in her adult life", People didn't tell her to go to a black liberation church that hates America for twnety years and they didn't tell her to say if Clinton won she would have to think on voting for her or not. She deserves what she gets and I hope her husband loses. What kind of first lady would this be for America. A person who feels this way and clearly hates white people. I guess a "fist-bump" fest at the white house with reverend Wright and Farrakunn.

If Obama wants his wife left alone, perhaps he shouldn't parade her, or and his children for that matter, across tabloid shows such as Access Hollywood. Whatever serves his purpose at a particular moment seems to be his MO. He can not make a definitive decision on anything without going back on it...we've seen examples of such behavior in ABUNDANCE!

A bunch of adults calling people they've never even met names. Ladies, I'm sorry your husband doesn't have the education or charisma to run for president, but I'm sure if he did you'd be right behind him. Grow up, get a life, and go back to watching your soaps.

I agree that candidates wives are not running for office, but when they stump for their husbands and say or do outrageous things, as Mrs. Obama has, then they become fair game.

Then when someon talks bad about his wife, just like they have for decades to other candidates wives..... lets throw freedom of speech out the window! Lol

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen ... oh, wait, Michelle Obama is out of the kitchen, she is campaigning! Listen to her speech at UCLA, she dared to claim that a government leading by Barack Obama will heal the souls of American citizens. Even churches don't claim they can heal your soul. Well, maybe the one they attended in the past twenty years. You want people to leave her alone? Bush tried to scare you with terrorism, now Obama wanna scare you with your broken soul, that's a whole new level of crap.

Mrs. Obama is an intelligent and devoted wife and mother and should be treated with respect. Senator Obama is correct. The press should be evenhanded in their treatment of the candidates' wives.

By: B J

You cant say anything to Obama's face, he only has controlled venues with prepared speeches. Get a thicker skin, you dont think that Laura Bush has had daggers thrown at her over her time. If Michelle is going to come out and be controversial there will be more criticism.

There is a left wing media as well, people seem to forget that!

By: Missing the Point

Missing the Point — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:23:22 +0000

I get the point some of you make that Michelle created her own problems. That isn't the point, and to push that is idiotic. His point is that Cindy McCain has a lot of questionable actions in the past, but Cindy McCain isn't his opponent, and he firmly believes candidates' wives should be out of the arena. It's amazing how many of you lash out at the Obamas when your own candidate agrees on these kinds of issues.

Don't attack Michelle Obama when John McCain tells rape jokes and then pretends he never did. He is a bastard. He is so out of touch with the modern world. With that temper he would start world war 3. Mitt Romney is similiar to McCain. Probaly tells dirty jokes. Snakes usually hang out together.

Griff, Brian, Marjorie, Carol ...
none of you have husbands nor wives that is why YOU talk so stupid because if you had a family you would not write the way you do

No, Obama, the press is not to blame for attacks on Michelle. Michelle is to blame for attacks on Michelle. When she started making public speeches that automatically made her fodder. And while we're at it, tell her to start dressing the way First Ladies should dress, so she can kind of be in the habit by the time she becomes First Lady, if it happens.

Wasn't it Harry Truman that said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen?" He was probably the last great Democrat. If Mrs. Obama is going to campaign for her husband, she is fair game. Are people supposed to be 'nice' just because she's a female? That's pretty sexist.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
In regards to the really proud statement, try listening to the rest of that speech when she is talking about the political process and people being involved. How is it that McCain can say that he didn't love America until he was away from it and he doesn't get criticized her Michelle. A bit of double standard. And what else has Michelle done to deserve this treatment??? What else?

So Michelle can act in an overt way to support her husband, raising money and giving speeches, but we cannot criticize her. Give it up, Barack! You cannot use your wife as both a shield and a sword.

Meanwhile....the hypocrite Clinton supporters blame he media, the DNC, Howard Dean, sexism, Caucus states, the rules they agreed to abide by, the Obama campaign,men, african americans, and now...another woman. You just cant make stuff up like this...lol
And they are still whining about it!

These people are just as bad as the conservative pundits bashing Michelle. Heck, Hillary and Bill did a little slandering of Obama themselves.
Its okay though, her job is now supportting Obama, just as it should be.

The only one Obama can blame for attacks on his wife is himself. He chose to run for president, and he let her take the stage with him. That's how it works BO whether you like it or not. If you don't get out, it gets much worse if you actually win.

Barack and Michelle are both whiners. The right wing media didn't force Michelle to make her comments about finally being proud of her country. I also remember her complaining to workers in Ohio how much money they spent on dance lessons and camp. I'm sorry Michelle, I haven't lost my soul. If you are going to be campaigning, then I say she is fair game.

I can't agree with calling Fox News "press". There are no journalists among them.
