marks2065 0 #51 November 3, 2009 Quote While you're at it, Mark, his daughters aren't walking uphill both ways in the snow and blinding rain to school, either. She's the mother of two school-age children, who is trying to give them some semblance of a normal life in the White House. I'll bet that takes some time. The last First Lady who had children that young was Jackie Kennedy, and she redecorated. I can only imagine your vituperation if Michelle Obama were to redecorate She's advocating for military famlies and the homeless. I believe those count as causes. This thread is a complete non-starter. There has been a decent amount of evidence posted (including the ubiquitous Snopes) indicating that Michelle Obama's staff isn't larger than several others'. But it's pretty clear that you will attack no matter what, so you might as well include the cushy life their girls have while you're at it. Wendy P. leave the girls out of it they need to grow up without being attacked. but it is funny how Obama gets rid of the school voucher program but wont send his own kids to the schools he is making others send theirs to.

Their dog, whatever its name is? . speaking of the dog, wouldn't it be nice if Obama would take as much time working on reading the health care bill or talking to his general in afganistan as he took to decide the dog they would get.

It's the American thing, to pay for a change or an upgrade. I paid for my son to go to private school for awhile, too. Then he went to public university (and mostly paid for that himself).

What did Nancy Reagan do in the first 9 months of 1981, aside from consult an astrologist to plan her husband's schedule? Just Say No, for better or worse, did not come until the following year. This seems like prior criticisms of Mr. Obama because he hadn't accomplished as much in the first 6 months as those other guys did in 4 or 8 years.

Why's it not in the media like other first ladies??? Why does she have such a media muzzle on her? I'm so confused!!!! When the Obama's are in the news the right's shout, "OMG, he's on a news spree. He should be running the country instead of being Mr. Popular on all the networks." Now Mrs. Obama is not so in the public eye (which doesn't make her acts of kindness with charities any less significant, which was the whole point of your thread BTW-- not this whole 'oh, ok, but it wasn't in the news,' bit.) and that is a problem????? So they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Again, I will say what I have said before: Some people, no matter what the Obama(s) do, they will NEVER like it even if it is a policy they agree with.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar)....

wmw999 2,453 #66 November 4, 2009 I didn't see any racism in the original. I think in this case it's a matter of no matter who Obama was married to, they'd hate her. The fact that she has opinions and isn't shy about sharing them is worse. Think Hillary Clinton vs. Laura Bush. Note that Laura Bush did have opinions, but she didn't express them in public as a rule. Outside her literacy campaign, of course. The problem with the over-the-top attacks is that they put people into automatic defend-anything or attack-anything mode. Which means there isn't any real discussion, just a lot of back and forth. But hey -- whatever floats everyone's boat. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

tbrown 26 #70 November 8, 2009 A First Lady is the wife of the President. As such, she's not required to "do" anything. Though most First Ladies in fact oversee the social affairs and dinners, etc, there's no requirement that they "do" even that (though obviously, good politics demands it). Fact is, if the First Lady wants to sit on her ass eating ice cream, drinking beer, and belching & farting all day, she's perfectly free to "do" that too. I don't recall either of the Bush first ladies "doing" that much. Nancy Reagan bought expensive dresses, hired an astrologer, had private lunches with Frank Sinatra, and told kids to "just say no" - now there was one BUSY woman. Betty Ford got strung out on pills and booze, then went into rehab. Hillary Clinton got very busy with her failed attempt at healthcare reform - and "ducking sniper fire" in Bosnia, or Kosovo, or wherever it never happened, and has been vilified for all of it ever since. So, uh, what's your beef with Michelle ? What do you think she SHOULD be "doing" ? I'd love to hear. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !
