GO MCCAIN!

Love the Obama’s!!!

They represent Chicago well!

MICHELLE OBAMA AIN’T THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME, SHE AIN’T EVEN HOT. WE ALL KNOW SARAH PALIN IS THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME. MCCAIN/PALIN, YES WE CAN!

That’s my girl! She’s AWESOME! She so beautiful! Take that Hanni!!!

Sarah Palin? LOL! I hear they’re (by they i mean some Republicans) are askin that broad to step down…Whatcha gotta say about that!

A real role model! That dress, however, is horrible.

***That’s my girl!!!***Yes We Can***

she wears some of the nicest stuff and has a nice shape for a “soccer mom.”

1st Lady for sure

Go Michelle!!!

Hannibal – Shut your mouth!LOL

Keesha – Is that true about Palin or was that a joke?

She resembles myself and many of my immediate family members. Wonder if she likes oates and chilled water too???

Hi cyberpeeps!

She resembles myself and many of my immediate family members. Wonder if she likes oates and chilled water too??

I love Michelle, and I think many other sistas, whatever their political affiliation, do as well. She’s a poised, eloquent, accomplished woman, and if Obama wins the election, I believe she will be a wonderful role model for little black girls who have big dreams. I have to say, I’m supporting Obama for his policies and his ability to lead, but I also absolutely adore the relationship he has with Michelle — the love between them is visible and endearing.

Time magazine posted a nice piece on the qualities that Michelle would bring to the White House, should Obama win:

“If the past 20 months have had their rough patches, what’s surprising at this point is how unguarded Michelle still seems: the most endearing and entertaining parts of her public appearances are ad-libbed, whether she’s bragging to a Denver audience that she’s wearing sensible shoes (the member of her staff in particularly high heels that day was “going to be sorry in the end,” Michelle joked) or referring to Barack, as she did at the convention’s black caucus, as “this guy that I know, this man that I married,” before mischievously adding, “his cute self.” Anyone who doubts her off-the-cuff charm should Google the clip in which she’s giving an outdoor speech and her dress flies up in the wind. Deftly catching it, she tells the audience, “I don’t mean to flash you guys … I’m not going to be on YouTube.”

And this is Michelle Obama’s greatest gift: her ability to relate to regular people, and vice versa. Even though she’s taller and fitter and better educated than most of us, she is completely and totally believable as a person who lives in the same world we do, who consumes the same pop culture (Us Weekly, anyone?) and shops at the same stores (Target, Gap) and struggles with most if not all of the same personal and professional juggling acts.”

I love Michelle, and I think many other sistas, whatever their political affiliation, do as well. She’s a poised, eloquent, accomplished woman, and if Obama wins the election, I believe she will be a wonderful role model for little black girls who have big dreams.

I love this chic…too hot to trot…

That debate was awesome, I cannot wait for the VO debate this week…I’m getting my popcorn ready NOW!

Ugh, sorry for the duplication!

Hi, Diva!

@Be

Yes, there is some harsh criticism of Palin among some conservatives. Kathleen Parker of The New Republic wrote a commentary last week that called for Palin to step down.

That dress should be punishable by death..I usually love her style but no on this one..proceed to trash me

@ beReal,

I’m not sure HOW true it is, but i heard that this morning on Tom Joyner Morning Show…

THIS IS OUR FIRST LADY!!! LETS ROCK THE VOTE!!!

I love Michelle.

WHERE DID THE JADA PINKETT ITEM GO?!

@Sidney

…You are right on the money!

Hmmmmmmmmm hottest chick in the game? Really? You actually think Michelle Obama looks better than Sarah Palin? Really? Someone should really lay off the shrooms. @Lush-Us Lipps, if you consider being VP of Wal-Mart, Tree House Foods and getting pay increases based on charging minorities more than whites repping Chicago well, then I feel sorry for you.

@Sydney & Keesha – ooohhh, I guess they are seeing what we already knew….she just was not a good choice

@BE

I just read on The Huffington Post that Palin has more interviews scheduled this week with CBS. Apparently, the McCain campaign wants her to be seen before Thursday’s debate. I’m not sure that’s such a great idea. . .

BTW, this is from conservative Kathleen Parker’s column, called “Palin Problem,” last week on Nationalreview(dot)com: “Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.Do it for your country.”

The criticism of Palin has been coming from both Republicans and Democrats, and I think the expert consensus is that expectations of her performance on Thursday are low.

There’s nothing like standing by your man… Especially when he’s doing positive things. I commend her because I know that she has to have a lot of patience and dedication to be able to do what she does. That’s a first lady for sure!!!

SARAH PALIN > MICHELLE OBAMA

@Sydney – thanks, i will look at the website

@Be

Yes, people are now openly saying that Palin wasn’t a good choice, and there are questions about McCain’s judgment. A lot is riding on Thursday’s debate. I think even some proud conservatives are having a hard time defending her as the best choice for vp. The frightening part is, given McCain’s age (72) and health record, the likelihood that she could one day be president is high, so I think that scares some people, too. After eight years of a president with subpar intelligence that is mocked around the world, the reality of a President Palin is one I don’t want to have.

“She resembles myself and many of my immediate family members. Wonder if she likes oates and chilled water too???”

ROTF!!!

Barack will run the HELL out of this country, with someone like Michelle by his side.

“She resembles myself and many of my immediate family members. Wonder if she likes oates and chilled water too???”

ROTFLMBAO!!!

Black is beautiful

May December relationships are becoming more and more hot and attractive. You need to look no further than Hollywood to see the trend. Many of my friends successfully found their special someone on === Agelessdate. c o m === It’s like a bridge, not only bridge the visible but invisible gap to bring people together~! It is Your cupid!

Barack will run the HELL out of this country, with someone like Michelle, by his side. She is, indeed, the hottest chick in the game.

…okay, I’m hating the hell out of that pattern, but I just love this lady’s demeanor.

I cosign completely w/ shavon denise..

That was Michelle’s first fashion mis-step. She need to burn that dress. Other wise they make a great couple. The Obamas compliment each other.

Fellow Obama supporters, when you register to vote, please remember that you need to ensure that you vote in the correct precint and that you are lawfully allowed to vote. Head over to THEROOT.com where there is a very interesting article on how the replublicans plan to steal the election by focusing on foreclosures in black neighborhoods which will enable vass voter registration challenges. If you are registered to vote, contact the board of elections in your county to make sure your vote will count.

“SARAH PALIN > MICHELLE OBAMA”

ANY OTHER RACE OF MAN > THE BLACK MALE!!!

@Somer – I agree that pattern looks crazy but at least the dress fits her nicely.

@Hannibal – you still supporting Palin????? we will see after thursday.

A list of John McCain’s lies.

McCain said Obama voted to cut off money for the troops in Iraq. THE FACTS: Despite opposing the war, Obama has, with one exception, voted for Iraq troop financing. In 2007, he voted against a troop funding bill because it did not contain language calling for a troop withdrawal. The Illinois senator backed another bill that had such language – and money for the troops. [AP, 9/26/08.]

Calling on President Eisenhower to deliver a lesson about accountability, Sen. John McCain invoked two letters authored by the 34th president the night before the Normandy invasion during Friday’s presidential debate. One letter, McCain said, was authored in the event that the D-Day invasion was a success and the other, a resignation, in the event it was a failure. According to the National Archives, late on the afternoon of June 5, 1944, Eisenhower scribbled a note intended for release accepting responsibility for the decision to launch the invasion and taking full blame in the event the effort to create a beachhead on the Normandy coast failed. In the letter, Eisenhower takes responsibility but makes no mention of resignation. [ABC News, 9/26/08:]

McCain: ‘I voted for alternate fuel all my time. … No one can be opposed to alternate energy, no one.’ Fact Check: In his 26 years in Congress, McCain has voted against several bills and amendments calling for new investments in renewable energy, according to official Senate records. In March 2002, for example, McCain voted against an amendment to require utilities to generate 10 percent of electricity from renewable energy facilities by 2020.” [Boston Globe, 9/26/08:]

MCCAIN: “We had an energy bill before the United States Senate. It was festooned with Christmas tree ornaments. It had all kinds of breaks for the oil companies, I mean, billions of dollars worth. I voted against it; Senator Obama voted for it.” THE FACTS: Obama did vote for a 2005 energy bill supported by President Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natural gas production. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry. Obama voted to strip the legislation of the oil and gas industry tax breaks. When that failed, he voted for the overall measure. Obama has said he supported the legislation because it provided money for renewable energy. [AP, 9/26/08:]

MCCAIN: “I’ve been criticized because I called for the resignation of the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.” THE FACT: McCain did eventually call for the resignation of SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. But he first said that if he were president he would fire him, a step a president cannot take with the head of an independent regulatory agency. This is what McCain said on Sept. 18 during a rally in Iowa: “The chairman of the SEC serves at the appointment of the president and, in my view, has betrayed the public’s trust. If I were president today, I would fire him.” [AP, 9/26/08:]

John McCain raised an old Republican canard, repeated often in the primaries, when he claimed that Obama’s health care plan would eventually turn the health care system over to the federal government. The Illinois senator proposes helping individuals purchase health insurance through a system of subsidies and tax credits. He is also in favor of mandatory health insurance for children. But he is not advocating a state-run health system, such as the one that exists in Britain and some European countries. Under the Obama plan, individuals will still be free to choose between different types of health insurance, and will be able to choose their own doctors.” [Washington Post Fact Checker blog, 9/26/08:]

McCain, rebutting Obama’s correct observation that earmarks are a small part of the budget, said, “But the point is, that you see, I hear this all the time. It’s only $18 billion. Do you know that it’s tripled in the last five years? Do you know that it’s gone completely out of control to the point where it corrupts people?” But while federal earmarks tripled in size from 1996 to 2005, they have actually dropped in recent years. According to the White House Office of Management and Budget, in fiscal year 2005 Congress inserted 13,492 earmarks totaling $18.9 billion for appropriations accounts. In fiscal year 2008, there were 11,524 earmarks totaling $16.5 billion for appropriations accounts.” [Washington Post Fact Checker blog, 9/26/08:]

John McCain kicked the evening off with a wild exaggeration by describing the allied invasion of Normandy as ‘the greatest invasion’ in history. Such historical comparisons are always dangerous. In scale, the D-Day landings were far exceeded by Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union, in June 1941, and the Soviet invasion of Germany at the end of World War II. A total of 326,000 allied troops took part in the initial D-day Landings in June 1944. By comparison, Hitler’s sent an army of 4.5 million men into the Soviet Union in June 1941 along a 1,800 mile front.” [Washington Post Fact Checker blog, 9/26/08:]

“McCain: ‘Senator Obama said the surge could not work, said it would increase sectarian violence, said it was doomed to failure.’ Fact Check: Obama said at the time that the increase in roughly 30,000 US troops in Iraq could improve security in ‘certain neighborhoods’ but that it would not solve the long term political strife between Iraq’s ethnic and religious groups. ‘I don’t think there’s been any doubt that if we put U.S. troops in that, in the short term, we might see some improvement in certain neighborhoods,’ he said in March 2007. In a September 2007, speech Obama said ‘the stated purpose of the surge was to enable Iraq’s leaders to reconcile. Our troops fight and die in the 120 degree heat to give Iraq’s leaders space to agree, but they aren’t filling it.’” [Boston Globe, 9/26/08:]

At a town hall meeting Monday, September 22, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain hit his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, on the financial crisis. ‘Sen. Obama has declined to put forth a plan of his own,’ McCain said. ‘In a time of crisis, when leadership is needed, Sen. Obama has simply not provided it.’ The Facts: Obama has said several times since the recent Wall Street meltdown that, in meeting with top economists, he was encouraged to not roll out a specific plan for fear of overly politicizing work of the Congress on a government bailout of financial firms. He has, however, offered ideas for the plan — including limiting pay for executives of businesses that are bailed out by the government and making sure the effort includes a specific plan for the money to be repaid. Verdict: Misleading. Obama has voiced specific ideas about the bailout plan and McCain’s campaign has taken a ‘wait and see’ stance similar to Obama’s.” [CNN, 9/22/08:]

“The effort to convince voters that Sen. Barack Obama would support higher taxes is a central part of Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign. McCain and the Republican National Committee have repeatedly cited 94 alleged votes by Obama to bolster their argument. Factcheck.org, a non-partisan project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, pieced through records to determine just what these 94 votes were… Annenberg says a close look at the record reveals that Obama has ‘voted consistently to restore higher tax rates on upper-income taxpayers but not on middle- or low-income workers.’ Verdict: Misleading. McCain’s summary ignores the fact that some of the votes were for measures to lower taxes for many Americans, while increasing them for a much smaller number of taxpayers. A nonpartisan examination also finds that the 94 total includes multiple votes on the same measures and budget votes that would not directly lead to higher taxes.” [CNN, 9/21/08:]

Maybe these lies is the reason John McCain couldn’t face barack Obama or that camera to millions of Americans perhaps.

@SMDH…strong black man came in here claiming to be you on Friday…

I like the Mrs. but no one will ever criticize her for paying too much for her clothes!

@SMDH – Chris Rock did not say anything derogatory against Obama or Michelle. What I remember him saying is the comparison to Jackie Robinson being the first black player in the negro league and America was not ready but he was the best and it happened.

@Mrs. Philly

you are wrong for that…

michelle obama is so ugly. i know it and you know it. black women with dark skinned are called beautiful when they are not because you want to improve their low self esteem. she needs braces and her teeth cleaned. she’s hard on the eyes. obama didn’t marry her for looks!

That is an ugly dress…then the designer had the nerve to put a bow on it…OMG -

I love the Obama’s, however, you guys need to stop fronting…that lady is ugly!

Love the family…but burn the dress

Man, he did! Remember, what thread were we in??

@shavon denise

You bring up some great points. As black women, we do face the double whammy of racism and sexism. We’re also faced with a litany of negative images and perceptions, some of which have surfaced during this campaign.

There have been so many offensive references and mischaracterizations of Michelle that a site, www(dot)michelleobamawatch(dot)com, was created to catalogue negative media mentions. Fox News referred to her as a “baby mama.” She was depicted as a gun-toting militant on the cover of the New Yorker. She has been painted as unpatriotic and angry. She has been subjected to a level of scrutiny that her Republican counterpart, Cindy McCain, who has her own past problems, has largely escaped.

This is part of what endears me to Michelle even more. To me, she represents many of the struggles of sisters, as well as the triumphs. If she becomes the first black first lady, that will have a tremendous impact on many of us, not only how we view ourselves, but, perhaps, how our community and the world views us. I see her, and I see a woman who confidently defies all the debilitating stereotypes that have been thrust upon us. She makes me proud.

She Looks good Allll The Time

But the Floral Dress was not Hottt

WhatsYoursIsMine

I read that Huffington Post piece this weekend. Loved it!

Alaskan Hockey Moms for Obama speak out against Troopergate:

An open letter to the GOP:

As GOP lawmakers sue to impede the Troopergate investigation, I call on all Alaskans, and every US citizen to stand up and sign this petition to require lawmakers to continue the Troopergate investigation, without delays or conditions of any kind.

Sorry McCain and Palin, we’re not waiting until after the election to find out if you are guilty of abusing your power. We have a right to know the facts before you ask Americans to cast our trust in you at the ballots. We have suffered enough the last 8 years and we are drawing the line here. You can’t “reform” Washington by killing by killing a bipartisan investigation – claiming the Democrats have tainted it – because it inconveniences you and your campaign.

The Anchorage Daily News article September 21, 2008, explains Troopergate. Read it so you know what’s going on in Alaska and how the McSame machine has bullied it’s way into Alaska to stall an Alaskan investigation! Palin has turned her back on Alaskans and she’ll do it to the rest of nation too! Same old Bush tactics! This is a hint of what to expect if McSame and Palin get voted into office.

What are you hiding?

If you are the true “reformers” you claim to be, stand up and face this investigation with honor and dignity. It’s what a reformer would do. That is, unless, you are admitting to abuse of power and misleading millions of Americans into believing you are the anti-establishment change agent you convinced your base that you were at the Convention.

Athletes practice their entire lives for a single opportunity at the Olympics. If they get caught using a drug or an unapproved performance enhancer, they don’t get to finish the Olympics. And their use of performance enhancers has no influence on National Security, public policy, the economy or human rights.

So if you really are innocent of theses charges and you want to convince Americans you have what it takes to turn Washington politics around… Here’s your first real chance to lead reform by example and face this investigation honestly and transparently.

Hmmmm, looks like some of the “brothas” (I say that sarcastically) are pissed because they couldn’t pull a woman like Michelle. Kim K is more their speed. Don’t be mad; when you’re on top of your game like Obama, you don’t have a problem pulling top of the line women.

she is not the hottest chick in the game. she is an OK lookin older lady at best. Now sarah palin nw she is hard. obama wont win this election either. the only ppl that will vote for him is black fols and college students. he isnt intelligent at ll he stutters and said he will vistit all 57 states yes he said 57 what a dumb ass

I think just the fact that there are REPUBLICANS out there that want her to step down is strengthening Obama’s chances. I hope it keeps up! And Biden will TEAR her azz to shreds this week. Can’t wait!!!

I love that Huffington Post! On point! Thank you, whatsyourismine!

Michelle Obama is not ugly—she just doesnt fit the black-brainwashed image of beauty. You know; features resembling those of a European. She also is a woman of substance meaning she can have a positive impact on some of you (and your children) that hate your blackness, and show you its okay to embrace who you are.

I think everyone has their own definition of beauty. Why do some people have to come on here and convince others that Michelle is NOT attractive. Dammit, if i think she is, then that MY opinion. I’m not trying to convince YOU that she’s pretty. You’re entitled to your own opinion as am I. All that, Yall must be blind BS…GTFOH! Dammit, to me she represents the epitome of beauty(inside and out). Kick rocks HATERS…and i LOVE the dress too! Its fitting Nah!

I can not beleive that anyone would even compare Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin. The level of class is no where near parallel. Michelle is the hottest chick in their game, not just based on looks, she has the whole package.

Michelle looks betters in solid, earth tone colors. That dress should be burned.

@Sydney-I love Michelle Obama Watch!

And to I’m Voting for Obama Biden: You’re welcome! I just like seeing that come from an older couple who’s been married for years. It gives me hope, and I get teased for hanging around married folks. I enjoy having single friends, but being around married people eases my heart and my spirit because I know that great, loving families in my age group exist.

Michelle is ok looking. She ain’t the prettiest but she ain’t ugly. She do look good in these pics though.

I don’t know, I like her dress. It’s classy and appropriate and not the typical pantsuit.

I love flowers Go Michelle

I don’t know why everybody keeps saying Palin is pretty she look like an old beauty queen has been. She has soo many wrinkles…but America has a strange standard of beauty. White women could look a mess in the face and black people will co-sign with others that she is fine A black woman can not been seen as beautiful unless she has white features.

Palin can’t touch Michelle in brains or beauty….pppplleeaasseee!!!!!

@Man, I just don’t care

*sigh*

To those commenting on Michelle’s looks (like that’s relevant), Obama has repeatedly commented on his wife’s appeal. He finds her beautiful. He was drawn to her when they met and worked to woo her. His face lights up when she embraces him after one of his speeches. He recognizes that she is his “rock.”

From a Chicago Sun-Times article:

And Michelle Obama said in a recent TV interview that her husband remains “very romantic.” The couple have date nights — that often include the kids. Their Father’s Day “date” was at Roy’s, a River North eatery that features “Hawaiian fusion” cuisine.

Even after nearly 16 years of marriage, he frequently gives her flowers. Sen. Obama has been known to surprise his wife with a downtown spa package.

Yvonne Davila, a close friend of Michelle Obama’s, says the couple’s relationship may sound kind of Pollyanna-like, but at its core, it’s a “great marriage.”

“These are two people who love each other,” Davila said. “For me, more importantly, there’s a huge respect on both ends.”

i support obama but michelle is ugly. she looks better at a distance than she does up close. she looks like aunt ester. also, obama is rumored to be bisexual. there are gay men who swear that he is. please don’t believe the hype about their marriage. she’s an ugly black woman who is happy to have a man. if you think that i’m lying, google obama down low and see what you get!

Sydney @1:18, I agree!! LOL, I love Michelle, but when she walked out in that dress, I said to my friend, “what in the fugly floral frock hell is she wearing”? Her stylist missed it this time, but that’s okay, she’s usually so well put together that we’ll forgive this outfit.:-)

@diva…your daughter is a cutie patootie!! BTW, are you gonna be affected with this latest bank takeover? I hope not…

SMDH

When you said:

“SARAH PALIN > MICHELLE OBAMA”

ANY OTHER RACE OF MAN > THE BLACK MALE!!!

—-

You are actually saying that any other race of man is GREATER THAN (that’s what the sign ‘>’ means) the black male.

I don’t think that’s what you meant … at least I hope that’s not what you meant.

I just wanted to educate you a little so this doesn’t happen again:

> – this is greater than

< – this is less than

BTW, I’m not trying to put you down. I just needed to clear that up because you were actually supporting that ignorant idiot that comes on here saying things he/she wouldn’t say to your face.

SMDH, If you do think that all other men are greater than the black male —- CHILD PLEASE!!!!

please google obama “downlow” and see what you get. this dude is a bisexual.

I love Michelle Obama and the love she and her husband obviosly have for each other. Michelle please take off my great aunt Minnie’s slipcovers.

@Sydney

Why are you addressing that to me and why are you “sighing?”

There were men that swore the earth was flat too….

@Stop Tripping-

Nice try. There is a guy who went around saying Obama picked him up in a limo and they took drugs and had s e x. The guy turned out to be a fraud. And you know that if it were true, The Republicans wouldn’t have even tried to save it for an October surprise. They’d have rather gone up against Hillary and destroyed her.

Stop tripping, how insipid and stupid you and all the others sound who are making negative comments about her looks. This woman is so well put together that her accomplishments, personality, etc. far outweigh her physical. Michelle Obama has got it going on…period!!

love michelle, but that dress is almost as ugly as sarah palin!

and yes, even the conservatives want that trailer trash ho to sit down and step off the campaign.

OBAMA ’08

I want to make slow, sweet love to Michelle Obama by a roaring fire on a bearskin rug. Oh baby.

Sydney(Check me out!)

“I don’t know. . .you’re a special one, indeed”

_____________________________________________________________

Funny. I was thinking the same thing about you.

Notice how, whenever black folks on these blogs, support Obama the first thing they say is what or how the Obama’s represent the black community. As if, that’s the only importance to them. SMDH. Sometimes I really find it hard to believe that black people aren’t just colorstruck idiots that don’t know how to think for themselves.

Why is it a major factor that Barack & Michelle display a positive image for black folks? Even if Barack does make it to the White House it won’t change any of the negros that act up or don’tknow right from wrong. I just don’t understand why ‘we’ as black folks make such a big deal out of ‘image’ and how that ‘image’ affects ‘the black community’?

Instead of, getting so caught up in the election, black folks need to be concerned w/ their own communities & not about “B-A-R-A-C-K-I-N-G the V-O-T-E”!

“@SMDH…strong black man came in here claiming to be you on Friday…”

Well – I think we all know THATS a lie!!!

Stop trippin..you need to quit after all you are the one hiding behind a keyboard, prolly over ther looking like the crack of somebody’s tail LOL shame on you!

@Man, I just don’t care

Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Angel-minded, your generalizations are idiotic and I find it quite amusing that you would come here and “try” to insult the posters.

From the first line of your 2nd paragraph, it’s obvious “you” don’t get it and I’m not really in the mood to engage ignorance this afternoon. However, I will leave you with this, considering the myriad negative images of black folks out there, why would Barack and Michelle, NOT be refreshing?

@Oshie – Honey are you coming out the closet or something? LOL

@StellarGirl-

Are you in culinary school, or in the culinary industry?

@Sydney

“Thanks, I’ll take that as a compliment”

_________________________________________________________

You didn’t mean it as a compliment to me?

@Man, I just don’t care

Uh, no, lol.

Her dress doesn’t look too bad…I’m not one for florals…and I hope she didn’t have on flat shoes…wonder what she uses in her hair?

___________________________________________________

@Angel Minded….I see your point about being “colorstruck,” but your statement contradicted itself (I say this most respectfully).

If black people are happy someone is representing their community, than let them. It’s time someone in a major political position stand up for African-Americans, who have been neglected for far too long by the political system. And we should be concerned about “B-A-R-A-C-K-I-N-G the vote…” This is an important time in our country and it comes once every four years.

@ Sydney:

Well said. I couldnt agree with you more. I feel like people just dont get or just dont care if Mrs. Obama be treated badly. McCain’s wife isnt getting any negative press. As a country we have to deal with these issues head on because at the end of the day, all those people at Fox News were raised in a culture in which discrimination, no matter how concealed, was accepted. Hey, we cant change everyone’s ideas and prejudices because they are deep and embedded but we can change how we handle it and I feel like the Obama’s are a perfect example of that.

Dow down 600 points

House has rejected the $700 bailout

WHAT NEXT?!?!

@Angel Minded – please do not think for a minute that if Obama makes a mistake all of his supporters will be sure to refer to his race, so I guess it goes both ways. Any public figure or star becomes a role model it may not change the masses but it will have a positive affect on someone

@Sydney

“Uh, no, lol.”

And you figure “I” come on here to “stir things up.” SMH.

YES WE CAN!

_______________________________________________

I don’t have a problem w/ disagreeing w/ my generalization, but what I will say is that, regardless if Obama gets into the White House, it won’t change the number of negros acting up. Just my opinion

@shavon denise

I agree with you. I think the campaign has highlighted many divisions along racial, gender, and class lines.

@Man, I just don’t care

Yup, you did, Mr. “Michelle isn’t the ugliest.” SMH.

And she’s not a “wifey,” she’s the man’s wife.

She DO look good, though, know what I’m sayin’, homey?

If black people are happy someone is representing their community, than let them.

But here’s my question : Do you really think he’ll stand up for the black community?

Do you believe that just because he’s black that he’s obligated to do for his own?

Obama has courted the Latina/Jew/Working blue collar/& women vote. Notice how he hasn’t courted the black vote. During all these other courtships he has stated what he intends to do for them. But he has yet to address any of the concerns that specifically target the black community. Unlike other black people, I’m not gonna assume, that just because he’s black he’ll do for me or any other black person for that matter. If he can target the Latina’s, working blue collars, women etc., then he can clear up what he plans to do for black people.

@JSABP

Oh, boy, the House Republicans are behind this, I’m sure. This will impact the overseas markets as well.

OK, politically, what can this mean for McCain? I read reports that the failure of a bailout package could reflect badly on him.

Also..it offends me that Obama tries to seperate himself from black people. It’s like he doesn’t even acknowledge us or our concerns because he already knows (or @ least thinks) that he has the black vote. It’s so unreal to me. Like just because I’m black I’m automatically gonna support him. he must really think all black folks are simple & have a herd mentality mindset. Like we can’t individually think on our own.

Obama is heavily courting the black vote — in fact, his efforts have been written about in several publications.

More on today’s vote. This could be very bad:

What was supposed to be a 15-minute vote stretched past the half-hour mark as leadership scrambled for support. Investors who had been counting on the rescue plan sent the Dow Jones industrial average down as much as 700 points while watching the measure come up short of the necessary support, before rebounding slightly. The key stock reading was down more than 500 points.

The measure needs 218 votes for passage. Democrats voted 141 to 94 in favor of the plan, while Republicans voted 65 to 133 against. That left the measure with 206 votes for and 227 against.

HEY DIVA and the REST

I loe this lady! Love it, Love it!

@Angel Minded – Barack was just at the Black Caucus in DC on Saturday. He also spoke in a black community on fathers day. I think he understands that he needs the support of all races.

Angel-Minded

Obama addressed the CBC on Saturday. The below excerpt is from a story in Sunday’s Washington Post on Mississippi:

“Early on, the Obama campaign held up Mississippi as an example of a state where a huge black turnout — 37 percent of the population is African American — could drive an unexpected victory. But those hopes faded quickly, and the deep-rooted doubt that some here have suggests the challenge for Obama in other states, such as Virginia and North Carolina, where the Democrat is counting on a swell of African American support to put him over the top.”

The Wall Street Journal also ran a story 2-3 months ago on the campaign to target black voters, but I can’t locate it at the moment.

If you visit www(dot)barackobama(dot)com, you will find a section targeting African Americans and their issues.

Interesting…I’ll check it out

Michelle Obama is not ugly—she just doesnt fit the black-brainwashed image of beauty. You know; features resembling those of a European. She also is a woman of substance meaning she can have a positive impact on some of you (and your children) that hate your blackness, and show you its okay to embrace who you are.

————–

Great point…For those that think Michelle is ugly and McCain/Palin supporters…go choke yourself. Have a good one!

@Sydney

“Yup, you did, Mr. “Michelle isn’t the ugliest.” SMH.

And she’s not a “wifey,” she’s the man’s wife.

She DO look good, though, know what I’m sayin’, homey?”

___________________________________________________________

Ok “Ms.I respect others opinions.” I read you homey.

@Sydney, LOL, forget McCain’s campaign for a minute, I’m concerned about Main street…me, my house, my money, my job, my 401k, etc.

@Angel, go to his Web site, get educated and stop making asinine comments. If you’re looking for an excuse to “not” support him, go vote for McSame and Failin’ Palin, they seem to love your type.

@ STOP TRIPPIN

i support obama but michelle is ugly. she looks better at a distance than she does up close. she looks like aunt ester.

—————

Your attempt at humor failed miserably. You may be the first to choke yourself.

I think michelle is beautiful and who the hell gives a chicken finger about beauty…this is politics..smh

@Man, I just don’t care

Oh, OK, lol.

@JSABP

I’m very scared about this. . .I think Obama is talking about the vote on CNN now.

@ warning:very opinionated

I think you meant “does Obama speak on that”, not do. True, this is only a blog but it’s key that you understand the rules of English grammar before you try to come at Obama. Chi town stand up!

And let me guess: YOU BELIEEVD HIM, right?!?!

LOL!!! Everyone wants to be me!!

____________________________________________

Not really hun…nobody cares about Strong Black Man.

@Cutie Pie

What’s up?

My, isn’t this interesting?

COLUMBUS, Ohio — After bragging today about his role in shaping the economic bailout package, Sen. John McCain has made no statement to the press since the defeat of the bill, in part at the hands of House Republicans.

McCain boarded his Straight Talk Air charter plane a few minutes ago, but the plane has not taken off yet. McCain is in the front of the plane, separated from reporters by a brown curtain

Aides to McCain have not characterized his reaction to the bills defeat. On Sunday, he said he would “swallow hard” but vote for the plan, which he said was better than originally proposed.

Reporters have not been told whether McCain will still travel to Des Moines, Iowa, or return to Washington to deal with the aftermath of the bill’s defeat.

@Sydney-

She DO look good, though, know what I’m sayin’, homey?

=======================================================

STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

@Angel, go to his Web site, get educated and stop making asinine comments. If you’re looking for an excuse to “not” support him, go vote for McSame and Failin’ Palin, they seem to love your type.

______________________________________________

Why are you being so hostile? I made my comments based on information that I’ve either heard or read. The info that, that poster posted was not publicized at all. But it’s quite ironic that NY Times/CNN/ etc., never miss a beat when he’s courting other minorities. So I still stand by my comments. Regardless of what speeches Obama has said or given, specifically aimed @ black folks, those speeches still weren’t publicized nor vocal enough! It’s sad that the first black (potential) president is running, yet everytime I open up a newspaper I only see & read info on what he plans to do for every other ethnic group instead of AA’s.

Michelle Obama got game too

getyourhandouttamypocket

you said it…its a BLOG…not a english class or essay….no offense takin though….i speak my mind hun I never said I was perfect unlike soommme ppl are made out to be. Im just simply me hate it or love it.

but anywho..

I truly wish for the best for our country(ppl)all ppl. But I hear more talk then I see change….and most ppl rootin for change be the same ones stiring up DRAMA CONTROVERSY VIOLENCE IGNORANCE AND OTHER OBNOXIOUS BULLSH*T AND ON TOP THEYRE ROCKIN A SHIRT WITH OBAMA FACE ON IT WHILE UNDERNEATH IT STATES CHANGE…HA..FUNNY.

Me as an indiviual always try and represent what I talk about and feel. Im not the smartest strongest or bravest woman alive but im fearless and im wise and I know my right from wrong(thanks to God)and I try to exemplify that to all ppl by simply being me.

I truly believe alot of our ppl are bein mislead…..I want stop believin that if ppl in this country cant get along TOGETHER AS A WHOLE …BASICALLY….IF THE PRESIDENT AINT GOD We’LL NEVER SEE REAL CHANGE. And most of our young ppl unfortunately dont even know why there votin but for the simple fact that Obama is HALF BLACK and EVERYBODY IS STATIN HE’LL MAKE CHANGE…

OBAMA SPEECHES ARE GOOD INDEED BUT HE SPEAKS ON THE TYPICAL SH*T MOST WOULD EXPECT HIM TO SPEAK ON.

BY HIM BEING BLACK HE HAS A VERY STRONG OPPURTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WAY THIS COUNTRY VIEWS OUR PPL. THE WAY MOST ARE THROWN INTO POVERTY IN FORGOTTEN ABOUT OR NEGLECTED LEAVIN OUR YOUNG BLK MEN TO BE RAISED BY THE NEGATIVITY OFF THE STREETS AND OFF TV..THE WAY OUR YOUNG SISTERS STARVE FOR ATTENTION BY ANY MEANS…C’MON PPL WAKE UP.

YOU GOTTA START AT THE BOTTOM FIRST

Oh & btw @ Just Sit and Be Pretty

Just because I don’t agree on Obama’s tactics doesn’t mean that I need to support McCain. In fact your whole hostile attitude towards anyone that opposes Obama will be the # 1 reason why he’ll probably lose in November. How in the hell are Democrats trying to form unity when anytime anyone has any disagreements w/ Obama we’re casted down.

The Democratic Party is divided, and Obama supporters are the # 1 cause of this!

WhatsYoursIsMine

What did I do? *innocent look*

I’m reading more on this bailout vote, and it looks like a complete mess. Both sides are claiming the other is partisan. I don’t know what’s going to happen. . .

her dress looks like country curtains

I hate that dress more than the ugly red floral one from the DNC nomination/acceptance speech. It’s the Lula Mae-I’m-a-supportive-wife-and-mother-I-know-my-place dress. Rock On!

@Not that serious but…

“I hate that dress more than the ugly red floral one from the DNC nomination/acceptance speech. It’s the Lula Mae-I’m-a-supportive-wife-and-mother-I-know-my-place dress. Rock On!”

I think that dress was chosen for that very reason.

Hey Sydney, and all political-minded folk:

Have you all read where Barack is going to head back to Washington on Thursday to vote on the bailout plan, and John McCain’s campaign said he’ll “try to make it”?

WTF?! How can John McCain say he’s going to suspend his campaign because of the economic crisis, now he wants to not vote on the topic he’s supposed to be there for. After all this grandstanding?!

hey man!!

WhatsYoursIsMine

Yes, I did read that about McCain, and I posted a blurb from the Washington Post about his lack of a statement. Hmm. . .and he claims Obama was missing in action? All his theatrics from last week could bit McCain in his you-know-what.

Check this out from The New Republic blog. The political implications could be very severe:

(Bail)Out of Control

Well, the bailout plan was rejected in the House of Representatives by a vote of 228-205. And, gasp, the markets are tanking.

Prediction: Voting against this thing is not going to be the political winner that some have speculated opposition would be. Already, there is evidence that the plan was becoming more popular. And expect support to rise further now that the economy will be in even more dire straits.

As for McCain, this is very, very bad news. He failed to convert the House GOP, and the stock market is in a tailspin.

Update…from those always amusing House Republicans:

Representative Darrell Issa, a Republican, said he was “resolute” in his opposition to the measure because it would betray party principles and amount to “a coffin on top of Ronald Reagan’s coffin.”

*could bite*

Michelle I see you WUT UP!!

the bailout has been rejected!!!

I’m just ready for Thursday night! I want to see Palin tank and Biden have to ease up, cause I know he may cut up.

@ whatsyours

yes it is definitely going to be must see tv…they talking about when they call her a bimbo they’re talking about all women…ummm no decline..when they call her a bimbo..they’re calling her a bimbo because I take no offense from it at all.

WhatsYoursIsMine

This campaign is really surreal. Reportedly, there is no additional bailout vote scheduled today. Most of the Republicans voted against the package — for which McCain is claiming credit for corralling Republican support. Now that it has failed, what is he going to do?

And, today, Newt Gingrich, one of my favorite conservatives (sarcasm), said this about the Bush administration: “The Bush administration has now provided three case studies in arrogance, isolation and destructiveness: Michael Brown during Hurricane Katrina, Ambassador Jerry Bremer in Baghdad and Secretary [Henry] Paulson at Treasury,” Gingrich said. “It is a tragic and very expensive legacy. No conservative and no Republican should doubt how much it has hurt our cause and our party.”

I would have never expected these words to come out of Newt’s mouth. . .What’s next?

I HONESTLY THINK OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE AGRESSIVE N TORE OLD WRINKLES A NEW ONE; YET AGAIN I KNOW HE DIDNT WANT TO APPEAR AS DA ANGRY BLACK GUY; can i say it now??? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WE CAN!!!

I just got my answer. . .McCain put out a statement blaming Obama for the bailout rejection. Complete malarky.

I think Frank Rich was right when he wrote in yesterday’s NY Times that McCain may be the first presidential candidate to be responsible for “wrecking” the nation before he is voted into office. And blaming Obama instead of his own recklessness won’t change that.

@Sydney-

I believe Newt, like other conservatives, are trying to establish their own legacy and (slightly) distance themselves from W.

And speaking of W., I can’t wait to see the movie!

@WhatsYoursIsMine

Yes, most Republicans are trying to distance themselves from Bush. He truly is a party pariah.

I can’t wait for the movie, either, but I’m curious about Thandie Newton’s portrayal of Condi. When it was announced that she would play her, I couldn’t see it. I love Jeffrey Wright, so I would like to see him as Colin Powell.

@Sydney-

Thandie Newton? Really?!

Girl, Colin Powell could play Colin Powell. I’d throw myself at him at the premier. I’ve had a thing for him since I was in the 6th grade.

@WhatsYoursIsMine

LMAO! Girl, Colin Powell is an attractive brother in an older statesman kind of way. . .His wife might fight you for him, though, lol. I’m waiting for him to write his memoir, so I can scoop it up.

Yes, girl, Thandie Newton, who looks nothing like Condi, IMHO, is going to play her in the movie. I can see how they can transform Jeffrey Wright into Powell, but I don’t know about this one. . .

they look so nice together,white house is going to be blessed with the most beautiful people.

I can see Thandie getting her accent down, and them darkening her skin, but she doesn’t have that Condi body, slim but fit. Thandie’s a little too small.

May I add she has no weave and is fully clothed. Oh, and intelligent as hell, not just able to sing, shake her ass and smile and nod. THIS is the role model young black women need, not Beyonce (sorry stans). Get it Michelle!

@Danni

Bravo..applause..

Michelle Obama is BAD..

Wow, the Dow experienced its biggest point drop in history, according to CNN.

@WhatsYoursIsMine

Yeah, Thandie’s body type isn’t quite the same — well, she’s a good actress, so I’ll wait until I see the movie.

I read on a blog that Chris Matthews came down really hard on the GOP today about the bailout vote, by the way. Hardball should be good today.

WhatsYoursIsMine, did you see this on the Huffington Post?

A prominent GOP strategist said on Monday that John McCain handled his role in the bailout process poorly and would ultimately be hurt politically by the failure of the House of Representatives to pass the measure.

“To a certain extent, I think John gets hurt by this,” said Ed Rollins, a CNN contributor who worked on former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s primary campaign earlier this cycle. “He obviously, at the end of the day, said he was for it. But more important than that, he said he was the one who would bring them to the table and to a certain extent he will be viewed now as not being able to do that.”

@Sydney-

I believe he will be hurt by this, you can’t turn around and blame Barack by this. I find it funny that McCain, and his supporters, are always saying things are Barack’s fault, yet he doesn’t have enough experience. For a man with no experience, that means he never set foot onto the floor for a vote, so how can it be his fault?!

Oh lawd, Suze Orman said we should be worried about “everything” if the administration does not get it’s act together.

she looks like my 7th grade math teacher. lol

j/k she look how the first lady suppose to look for the next 8 years….obama/biden ’08

@Just Sit and be Pretty-

OH NO! To some of my girlfriends and I, Suze Orman’s books are the financial gospel!

@WhatsYours, LOL, yeah, she knows her stuff, said this might last for 2 – 3 yrs.

@JSABP

Omigosh! If Suze Orman says we’re in trouble, well. . .it’s time to move to Canada. When I first heard the words “possible second Great Depression” when this first broke, I thought the worst might happen. I’m trying not to panic — let’s hope some accord can be struck later this week.

Good night, everyone.

Now, you know that’s right. You know that’s right. Thank you.

@ whats yours is mine….

Sorry 5 hrs.! later. I am working and in school. Almost done. (May 09′)

She looks great! Soft and pretty for once. Love the dress…class act. Reminiscent of the 50′s/60′s.

@ JS&BP–

I’m sorry for the late response. I’m just getting a chance to check in.

Thanks for the compliment.

And about the question–I’m sure all of us will somewhat be affected by the Wachovia take over. Gratefully- I won’t be directly affected in a major way.

I saw the article on CNN about the takeover–MAN!!!!!!!!!

Those people pretty much worked around the clock to try to sort out all of the Wachovia details!!!

If all reports are true, it looks as if they were bought for 2.2 BILLION dollars! Somehow, I would’ve thought Wachovia was in more control of their finances. I know there are a lot of banks that are suffering and struggling to stay alfoat but who would’ve thought Wachovia would be one to go under??

I guess they “put all their eggs in one basket” in thinking that they would make a huge and long term profit with the mortgage industry.

I’m thinking (as I type this) that the hand writting was on the wall.

They just didn’t see it coming.

SMH!!!!!

I aplogize for the double posts, guys!!!

I aplogize for the double posts, guys!!!!!

she is dirty. I saw her photo on a dating site —cougarkiss–co m, where the rich women seeking love with young handsome guy! And her profile says that she is looking for a sugarbaby, “A handsome collage guy would be the best”.

Barack rocks! Michelle rules! (The dress should be burned!)

jaime, you are right michelle looks and michelle is a monkey. damn, she’s wearing my grandmother’s bedspread. obama is gay.

jaime, you are right michelle looks like the monkey in planet of the apes. damn, she’s wearing my grandmother’s bedspread. obama is gay.

god i love her. she can wear anything, and i would kill for her amazing figure. she is the epitome of statuesque beauty. i’m obsessed with her.

u can tell how much barack loves her too. he’s always touching, holding, or kissing her. the sexual chemistry is sic. and the love is frigging everlasting.

i loooooooooooove u michelle!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was the hottest chick…oh well…go Baraks!!!

BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE TRY TO ASPIRE TO BE LIKE THESE TWO…THIS COULD BE ANYONES FUTURE!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

black love, just beautiful.

Sydney(Check me out!)

I love Michelle, and I think many other sistas, whatever their political affiliation, do as well. She’s a poised, eloquent, accomplished woman, and if Obama wins the election, I believe she will be a wonderful role model for little black girls who have big dreams. I have to say, I’m supporting Obama for his policies and his ability to lead, but I also absolutely adore the relationship he has with Michelle — the love between them is visible and endearing.

Your comments are on point!! They both spark up when they look at each other… you can feel their energy. That is a genuine love affair, that seems to have gotten better with time. I love them together, and even though I’ve had my share of lustful thoughts about President (to be) Obama, I would beat ANY woman down that tried to lure him from Michelle. lol…

I have to add… that dress is not very flattering. I know she’s being loyal to this Chicago designer, but she can cut the purse strings now. He (or she) has gotten enough pub from her.

two young white americans,a young woman and a man were standing outside the train stain, with a very large americian flag and a big Obama picture asking americans in u.k. to register & vote for Obama.

i couldn’t believe my eyes.

this is the first time in my life, to see anyone outside their country, asking people to vote.

Obama and michelle must be doing something good in usa.

go ahead with your bad self Michelle. my only problem with the first lady is the fact that on a interview she had on tv1 is every other word she interjected was the dreaded UM.UM this UM that I learned in a public speaking class that there we ways to overcome that. but its all good thee obamas have my full support i shall be voting for them on election day YES WE CAN AND WILL
