Lena, that's not fair or correct. It doesn't matter what is said about the Obama's, there is gonna be someone to turned, twisted, spinned and labeled it racism, even when it is not the intent.
I wonder if he gets elected, if late night TV and comedians will be able to do what they've always done without the person being labeled as a racist. Jokes about politicians are part of it but it seems that the Obama camp is having a little trouble dealing with this. All of the sudden people are scared to say anything in fear of being labeled a racist. Why should they be treated any differently?
Yesterday when Fred called Obama a boy and explained what he meant by that when he wrote it, Obama as a child in politics, it got twisted into a racism thing by a couple of people. You remember.
Who are the real racists when picking out these things and treating them differently from anyone else?
If Michelle was not a woman with a different ethnicity than those that had gone before as the wives of presidential candidates, would she be getting the same kind of press and attention?

The question you should be asking yourself is...
If Michelle was not a woman with a different ethnicity than those that had gone before as the wives of presidential candidates, would she be getting the same kind of press and attention?
I can't remember the wives of any presidential candidate e.g. Nixon, Carter, Bush Snr., Reagan, Bill Clinton or Bush Jnr., getting the same kind of press and attention before the electorate had even had a chance to vote.
Exactly, what's so different about Michelle Obama from the other wives before her, if it has absolutely nothing to do with her race?

You nor anyone else is going to get treated differently from me because of the color of your skin. Period!

The following clips are all concerning FoxNews excerpts:

Over the top liberalism when you associate "lynching party" to hate crimes.

It's easy enough for the Republican party to claim that these aren't really their people, and for Fox to claim they are "independent" commentators, but how many observers are going to believe that nonsense - at the end, it is all still part of the conservative election campaign...

My point is... were all the other presidential candidates wives all as good as gold? i.e. Is Michelle an exception in all of America's history?

What would you think of Mrs. McCain if she said "Now, I am finally proud of America"?

I'd be wanting to bitch slap the egotist. It would completely turn me off to her and it would affect the way I viewed McCain as well.
