"I Never Really Loved America Until I Was Deprived of Her Company"...   

I think if they can't think of anything better to do with their time they can make a spectacle of themselves if they want to.. the whole world is watching and laughing at the US... just SOSDD.

No, it's not wise for the two potential first ladies to be engaging in a war of words directed at each other. This election is supposed to be about the issues so, if they want to campaign for their husbands, they need to stick to that otherwise they devalue their contributions.

I think it is very interesting to say the least. I personally would not want to go against Michelle since she looks like she can handle herself. I believe that this is the first time I can remember the potential first ladies have joined in the mud slinging and bashing. I really hope that it doesn't continue because I live in one of the swing states and that would mean that television would become unbearable. I honestly feel that when Michelle has had enough she will end up shutting Cindy up.

I think that they need to quit fighting and nit picking each other that is not politics.They see how much dirt they can dig up to tell the press,I am already tired of it and we have until Nov. to put up with it.My Own Opinion is neither one is going to be a good president and I am thinking strongly on just not voting,and why are the wives getting so involved that they need to slander each other.Ok I am quitting because I could go on and on.You have a great night.

I don't think it's wise. Everyone is going to use language they'll be picked on for unless they stick to issues. Someone will provoke someone and end up saying something much worse, because that's how it goes when people are attacked and defensive. I'm getting an ulcer just from seeing tripe at myLot.

The latest is Obama beats his wife. Because some yay-hoo is posting quotes out of context from Obama's books. One is talking about his father and disillusionment and fear of becoming like him. Another was about protecting Muslims following 9/11 from unprovoked attacks and their fear of internment. But they edited out everything but something about being on the Muslim's side. I keep trying to tell myself these are only a few people, but you can not let these things go unaddressed.

The problem I have with people using Michelle Obama's quote as target practice is the same problem I have with all the misrepresentation of the Obama's.

If people bothered to do a little research they would know that the clip of her quote is totally out of context. She said is twice, slightly different both times, but hardly in the context that people have made it sound. Here are the entire quotes:

"For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." -M. Obama in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." -M. Obama in Madison, Wisconsin

It is sad Annie, but it is pretty typical of women is it not? We see it on the lot here all of the time. Women attacking other woman for minor infractions to raise themselves up above. To feel superior in nature by shedding light on the flaws of another mother, woman, wife and country woman? I hate that it happens but it does. I expect this race to get quite nasty once again.

It's not in her husbands best interest to pick. A first lady should be classy and above that. She just isn't. It's just another strike against Mccain. They seem to be adding up pretty quick.Good for the Obama camp if theyrise above it which I'm sure they will.

Let's look at both statements in context here. Michelle Obama woman who said "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Why is she finally proud of her country? Because her husband gets to run for president.

As you pointed out, McCain was a prisoner of war who realized he had been taking his country for granted his whole life.

True, McCain is admitting that he was a spoiled brat, but then again, so is Michelle Obama (although she doesn't seem so quick to admit it). I'll tell you, I took a lot of things for granted about the US before I watched the coast of Delaware disappear in the horizon (not knowing when, or if I'd get to see the scene in reverse). I'm glad to say that I didn't take the USA for granted to the point that I wasn't proud of her, but I see that kind of immaturity among Americans all the time.

There's my answer, but keep in mind that I'm not defending McCain at all. I think he's a wimp who retired his spine with his Navy ditty bag. He plays to the press every chance he gets.

Like Hillary, he must be aching from the whiplash suffered by the press turning on him so quickly. It must be horrifying to go from media darling to villain like that.

I think the only person to suffer a quicker yanking of the kid glove carpet was Cindy Whatsitsname... but well, she was the invention of the press so I guess the patent owner has the right to decide what to do with their own creation.

I'm not an American but basically you don't ever say you don't love the country you're campaigning for no matter what the context. He is obviously not saying he doesn't love his country but in a national publicity campaign that is a big faux pas.
