It appears as if some Americans prefer "pill poppin piece on the side" to Michelle...and may i add husband stealing AND pill stealing..2 things she could have bought other than stole..and yes I am implying that she could have "bought" another man- a single one! As well as paid off a doctor to give her those pills rather than steal them but apparently she has an affinity for steal recipes, men, and drugs!
Against Race Politics
Show Mrs Mc.... I mean Pill Poppin Piece On The Side the same consideration she showed Michelle, which was nothing.
Throughout his life John McCain has held himself to the highest standards and he will continue to run a respectful campaign based on the issues. We expect that all supporters, surrogates and staff will hold themselves to similarly high standards when they are representing the campaign.
I think that's all that needs to be said. It's not like McCain's saying the stuff himself-and not like the hand's of Obama's supporters are completely clean themselves.
You want to take on the right wing with this, so be it....but it distracts from things that are more important, and it's a battle you may well not win.
For every "pill poppin piece on the side" from Rikyrah, I will try to post an article that casts Cindy McCain in a positive light (not that they'll actually get read or anything).
Let's start with the basics.
SMH at a supposedly black man going out of his way to defend a white woman while a black woman is publicly getting raked over the coals. Cindy McCain doesn't need you to defend her because she the cable news isn't running anything negative about her in a constant loop. Can you honestly say that if Michelle Obama had the past Cindy McCain had she would be treated in kind by the legal system and the country in general? You are a joke and an embarassment.
You're asking that if Michelle Obama had an addiction to painkillers and might have stole someone else's husband, would she get the same kind of treatment?
I think she'd be thrown under the bus.
What's been the talk about Cindy McCain here lately: stealing recipes, popping pills, and supposedly stealing husbands. I can't defend the first two; they happened. The third is open to interpretation, but even I can see how people come to that conclusion.
My problem with Michelle has never been what she said, but how she said it-and why someone didn't tell her not to say it that way. But what's the really point in bring up Cindy everytime Michelle slips up?
I'm going to present an alternative viewpoint, just like I normally do. I could refer to Michelle from some of the statements she's made-as has been done before-but that's a waste of time.

Bottom line - it's just politics, and it's something that she'll have to learn.
What's a waste of time is your going out of your way to defend a millionaire white woman who has had the world given to her while being complicit in tearing down a black woman who has worked hard to get everything she has. I'm trying to imagine my father, a black man with a black wife and three black daughters going out of his way to defend a white woman with a shady past before he would defend the person most similar to the women in his life....and I cannot. So your "alternative viewpoint" is that of a black man being more supportive of Cindy McCain than Michelle Obama on a black blog and to that I say... you lose in the eyes of this black woman.
Then I lose. I lose here often.
Bottom line - it's just politics, and it's something that she'll have to learn.
I'm confident that Mrs. Obama doesn't need to be condescendingly "schooled" by you or anyone else. She's well aware of the desire to attack her. She's well aware that she's not the typical blonde and blue-eyed first lady candidate. And she's well aware of the racist and bigoted lampooning that will come her way.
She's not complaining. It's those of us Black folk who were the intended "collateral" targets. And we aren't running for office, so not only do we have every right to speak out, we have the duty to do so.
So if anyone needs to be schooled, it's you ... cameron.
And please don't even start with the "but she deserved it" crap. Opposing sexism--or racism, or homophobia--is a full commitment, not a case-by-case basis kind of activism. And every time we remain silent and let it slide because of A,B, and C, we only strengthen the haters' hand for the next time around.
Guess the recent polls have made the idiots at the AP really scared.
Journalism is dead.
It's true! It's true! Dead eyes. Scares me every time I see a picture. I flinch.
{no offense to actual vampiare intended :)}
Bullshit.
I seem to recall a lot of Obamatons - and Obama himself - condemning Bill Clinton 24/7 during the Dem primary.
He wasn't off limits, but somehow Michelle is?
Me thinks Barry is a major hypocrite.
PZOUT
Please carry on with your "bad whitey" circle jerk...
Michelle invoked no "spousal immunity". What makes you think she hasn't taken responsibility? If your idea of responsibility is admitting to saying something she didn't say, then you would be disappointed.
There's a difference in honest criticism and partisan demonizing. Do you really believe that Michelle Obama wants the destruction of the USA?
without that belief, that world falls completely apart.
So when is he going to pull McCain to a corner of the Senate chambers like he did Lieberman and give him the "Lay off my wife before I get in that ass" talk?
He'd better learn how to take the gloves off and fight strategically because McCain is too old to be tactful or tactical and every time he brings up Michelle, Obama better start responding with:
"It's an accomplishment that Cindy overcame her addictions, but won't being First Lady be a risk in reactivating them?"
Straight talk for the Pill-Poppin'-Piece-On-The-Side, in gentlemanly fashion. And as dumb as Fox Noise is, it will take them two days of discussion and dissecting before they come back with a bigoted retort.
All that the pills and alchohol haven't that is.
At least I seem to recall a whole hell of a lot of people squawking "RACISM" when somebody dared to mention The Almighty Barack's past drug abuse (cocaine and pot), and his current addiction to nicotine. And that wasn't the spouse, that was the candidate.
More hypocrisy from The Cult of Obama.
BTW, Barry might want to shut his race-baiting mouth with his demands for McCain to denounce this or that "attack". I seem to recall Obama lying through his teeth repeatedly, attacking McCain for wanting "100 years of war in Iraq." How about apologizing for that giant fib, Barry, before you get all pious and shit about "poor me and my wife"?
Obama needs to walk the talk a bit before he starts bitching about his campaigner-in-chief wife's own words being used against her.
That was sarcasm in case you're to brain dead yourself to get it.
oh snap.
Does she mean the felonious drug addicted adulterer Cindy McCain? If that's traditional, please give me non traditional.
Someone please tell me how I can contact that coon.
Don't waste one nanosecond on her. She hates Barack. Period. Any chance to dog him or undermine him, she will.
Mary Berry is a fool if she thinks the solution is to make Michelle more like Cindy. If Cindy was worth a damn to the campaign, they would have her out there stumping her behind off instead of making snide remarks on talk shows. Surprise, surprise Joan Walsh from Salon said she didn't think it was classy of Cindy to go there again:

(dunno if anyone can access this redlasso clip)
Michelle is fit, vital, smart, she looks amazingly young and fresh, almost girlish. She can raise two daughters and do a mean stump speech without breaking a sweat. She and the girls make Barack look good. She's the ultimate superwoman. Of course they're going to attack her.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA
so wrong, and yet so right.
She is a straight embarassment to the Civil Rights Movement!!
But we shall overcome in November, if all goes well! Obama '08
Joy Behardt (sp) was on Larry King singing Michelle's praises. She said she liked her before the show and she likes her even more now; she said she likes both of them.
A viewer emailed and asked if the ladies hung out and chatted after the show and Joy said that Michelle was really fun and she hung out and took pictures with the staff and the really loved her. She said even the Repub staff wanted pictures with her. She said Cindy McCain was more conservative and said nothing more about her chatting after the show.
Joy reiterated that Michelle was beautiful, extremely intelligent and very easy to talk to at the same time.
Of course Michelle is an asset she is well-rounded; she's intelligent, beautiful, stylish, a great mother and she and Barack (who I am still very angry with) are clearly partners at ease and working in a natural unison.
I haven't seen a couple in the political arena who can touch them on the things that are so "important" to America.

Rikyrah,
You had me laughing out loud with the "Pill Poppin' Piece-On-The-Side"!
ahahahahahahahahaha
Stop!

Well, your opinion has been duly noted. I'm sorry you don't like my opinion, but rest assured that I won't lose sleep over it. In the meantime, the fact still remains that she will be open to criticism as becomes more vocal in the public area. And the same goes for Cindy. A while ago, she was all indignant about releasing her tax forms... saying that she will "never release them." Guess what showed up on Drudge a few days later?
There is ZERO room for misspeaking in the YouTube era. Hillary Clinton learned that lesson with her Bosnia comment. I'm hoping Michelle doesn't suffer that same fate.
Can't have it both ways, Barry.
I know now, that you don't like Michelle.
I'm a gonna tell you this. Cindy needs to get off whatever diet she's on, take calcium supplements, protein shakes, add some fat to her diet and lift some damn weights! Maybe if she does that for 6 months, I wouldn't get that sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see her walk...that she's going to snap an ankle any second! The thought of that bone jutting through her skin on the tarmac makes me want to curl into a fetal position, close my eyes and rock back and forth. In Cindy's case, less isn't more. The low muscle, low bone density look is creeping me out!
Michelle is 43!...she looks 30! She is an image of health and strength. Her mere presence sends a positive message, never mind what she has to say.
Contrast that with the picture of a disabled elderly man, cancer survivor and his wife who has suffered a stroke and was addicted to narcotics. No offense intended to the elderly or disabled, or addicted.
But if you agree that the image of strength and capability matters, Americans are receiving that subconscious message loud and clear!
Attack away...the more she's attacked, the more convinced I am she's Obama's "Goose that laid the Golden Egg".
