An Open Seminar on Michelle Obama’s Message(s)

I clearly see Obama on that clip of the “ridin’ dirty video” I had not seen that before. Is that on the same video? I guess he was there for that sermon, if you can call that a sermon!

nope, this is the right addy. the one with the braying crazy anti-obama crap. seems you guys hate him more then mcain. every post here is about how much you hate him. sad, really.

Mike Malloy, a few moments ago:

“Hillary’s vision of a dead Barack Obama fits very well with her words about ‘Obliterating’ Iran. OBLITERATING! Does she even know what that word means? OBLITERATING! JESUS CHRIST, even REAGAN didn’t use that word! OBLITERATING! That means EVERY MAN! EVERY WOMAN! EVERY CHILD!”– Malloy went on with this wild rant for roughly five minutes.

Then he put on a caller who could not string three coherent words together to save his life: “thank you for….um….um………..bringing up the Hillary thing, I didn’t see it……..um……….I was watching that PBS news show with those two guys…..I cant remember……I cant remember their names…..Um……..what Hillary said…..You know, I remember……um……1968…….there’s a book called Shadow something……about political um assasinations…………”

Malloy: “The power structure controlled by the Clintons, I have no doubt, could have Obama assasinated if they give the word….”

Seconds later: “there’s a poll, it shows that eighty percent of Americans fear that Obama will be assasinated before the convention…”

On Tuesday I’m calling XM Customer Service and asking them to block Air America Channel 167 from my two radios. I want to send a message. This is just plain disgusting.

Gary, PLEASE come back and answer this question

‘hear she gets 2% in polls as an independent”

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? That’s really important. Got any more info on that?

Looked up the link on nq article here to Politico piece on mobama’s thesis. Found interesting article linked on that page:

VIRAL EMAILS ATTACK OBAMA: best quote from that here:

“Ironically, the smear campaign represents the dark side of the Internet’s emerging dominance in American politics — a phenomenon that has driven Obama’s unparalleled grass-roots and financial campaigns. After harnessing the Web to great advantage, Obama is now struggling to beat back the viral threat from the same uncontrollable medium.” lol

Remember when the BBC reporter told what Samantha Power, Obama foriegn policy advisor said about Hillary being a monster. All the US cable talking heads were shocked that a reporter would actually report something. They scorned a true reporter for doing her job. She said she was perplexed by the American media.

Larry, I have a security question for you. And before I ask and get jumped on, let me just say that I do not in any way mean to be disrespectful to Senator Obama at all, I am genuinely curious about how this would work.

My question is, what kind of vetting do presidential candidates need to go through to get security clearance? I ask because my sister was a white house intern several years ago, during Bill’s first administration, and the security that she needed to go through for the lowest levels of clearance was INSANE. They requested information about our neighbors, her old babysitters and teachers going way back, any trips that every member of our family took abroad, information about relatives who live abroad, I mean so much information…and obviously, they wanted to make sure that there was nothing questionable about her associations or anything like that…she was just a college kid and was not going to have access to any real information, but they were SO careful in checking her out, as well as anyone associated with her.

So, my question is, given Senator Obama’s even just casual association with some pretty questionable figures, does this create a security clearance problem? I am not asking whether it should or should not, but I am more just asking what procedures the government has in place to vet candidates…based on what my sister went through, I am guessing that if she had any associations with someone like Ayers, she would not have been allowed to work in the White House…

A big-mouth black woman ranting about “whiteys” is not my idea of a First Lady, or a lady, period.

It is the two-party system that is destroying this country. Let whoever feels he is the best candidate run for presidency. Nobody should be pressured by peer or politics to support a party candidate just for the sake of conformity.

Michelle Obama is a very powerful and opinionated woman. She’s also scary and nasty. I just can’t see her as the first lady.

MICHELLE OBAMA:
“There’s a lot of people talking about elitism and all of that. But let me tell you who me and Barack are, so that you are not confused. Yeah, I went to Princeton and Harvard, but the lens through which I see the world is the lens that I grew up with. I am the product of a working-class upbringing. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in a working-class community. I want people to know when they look at me, to be clear that they see what an investment in public education can look like.”

May I say suggest that telling voters they may be “confused” and that they need to get something “clear” is normally not considered good politics.

(all copied from a comment elsewhere, but my emph.)

From her Senior Thesis at Princeton…

“I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich [sic] I interact with Whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second.”

(Her caps, my bold emphasis.)

“These experiences have made it apparent to me that the path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton will likely lead to the further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant. This realization has presently, made my goals to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community more desirable.”

That’s food for thought.

“The more the individual identifies with the Black community the more his attitudes will sway towards a positive relationship with the Black community, however, the more the individual identifies with the White community the more his attitudes will sway towards a negative relationship with the Black community [snip]

I guess you can’t have positive relationships with both communities. We are all one-dimensional. You are with us or you are against us.

And if the Blacks choose to integrate into White society, they actually become Uncle Toms [Fun with words: See if you can pick out the code words for the Uncle Toms - the quotes are hers].

“However, the more [the Blacks in her study] began spending time with Whites, the more they became attached to and interested in the White community.”

Blacks Who Assimilate Into “White Culture” Are Uncle Toms, in which author Bill Dupray offers comment on those quotes.

I wonder if Michelle Obama will be comfortable in the house The Man built on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Michelle Obama’s message will be in the form of a question. WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN AMERICAN REPARATION CHECK WHITEY?

She did do community organizing for her $350K+ salary with U of C. One of the groups she worked with was Woodlawn Preservation Investment Corporation of Rezko fame.

The Woodlawn task force was recruited by a three-way partnership between Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp., The Woodlawn Organization and University of Chicago. A possible focus for recreational and community programming is the Harris YWCA building, now owned by the Chicago Park District.

I notice that in her Princeton thesis she says she never feels as though she belongs, then goes on to blame that on whites at the university – there’s no admission that any of it could be coming from her.

Poorly written, poorly conceived, way overly subjective and personal, it’s a surprising low-quality piece of work for a senior thesis at a top tier school. IMO.
