Michelle Obama: The Actress

While her husband is Politician Celebrity, we finally got a glimpse last night of Michelle Obama, The Actress, and exactly how far she will go to pretend to be something she’s not in order to get into the White House.


I mused yesterday that Obama’s speech could in no way eclipse the rank absurdity of Teresa Heinz-Kerry’s Ode to Herself four years ago. But I was wrong. In her widely panned speech, at least Mrs. Kerry respected everyone enough to be honest with us about herself.

Michelle Obama, on the other hand, simply was not. Her comments last night in no way, in any small part, reflected her repeated speeches over the past 18 months. It in no way gave us even a tiny glimpse into the world we know she and her husband live in–one of grievance, anger, entitlement, and general whiny unhappiness. Whether it be through her own now consistently famous complaints, or the people they have chosen to surround themselves with– America-haters, in one instance, a domestic terrorist with a commitment to kill Americans and topple the government. The Obamas’ own words and their associations belie the “Donna Reed” image MIchelle Obama tried so hard to convey last night.

Americans are very open-minded people. We like the underdog, those who come up–we like to hold up the unexpected. But what we dislike with as much passion is being lied to. Differences of opinion are one thing, being lied to is quite another. Michelle Obama’s contempt for the “mean” American people is apparently so complete she now has no problem smiling as she spins her pretend story of patriotism and gentle, optimistic love for family and country.

She did make one mistake–she must have left the pillbox hat back in her suite.

Tammy is dead on in her assessment of Michelle Obama. History is prologue, as they say. You can’t ignore a long and documented anti-American, Saul Alinsky-inspired leftist socialism in her past (and her husband’s).

She can’t tell the truth about what she (and Barach) believe, because Americans won’t buy it. Americans know in their hearts that socialism/communism just doesn’t work. History has proved it. She just doesn’t have the courage of conviction to explicitly and truthfully state what she really believes. If she did, I’d I’disagree but at least have a little respect for courage of conviction.

Americans are not stupid. It may take a little while to them to see behind the image curtain that the network media and David Axelrod (Obama’s media advisor) have erected, but Americans will pay attention and detect the political fraud that is in progress. When that happens, expect Obama and Michele to be brutally dismissed in November, maybe even on the order of the McGovern defeat in 1972.

That’s my humble opinion. I could be wrong (it happens time to time).

PLEASE PLEASE read James Cone’s book “A Black Theology of Liberation” the founder of Black Liberation Theology.

According to the Trinity United Church of Christ and Rev Wright’s talking points on the church’s website this provides the vision and the basis upon which the Obama’s church of 20 yrs is based.

The anti-white(y) and anti-America teachings in this book completely explain Wright’s rants and Michelle Obama’s anti-America statements and her thesis. It will also explains why Barack doesn’t want to discuss his church.

To stay in this church for 20 yrs the Obama’s have to be just as angry as Cone and Wright.

 
Comment by E M

“There will be no peace in America until whites begin to hate their whiteness asking from the depths of their being: How can we become black?” From James Cone’s book; “A Black Liberation Theology”, and according to Rev Wright, the basis and vision upon which the Obama’s church of 20 yrs is based.

Michelle and Barack have done a masterful job of hiding their anti-white and anti-America feelings.

I just hope SOMEONE in the media will read this Cone book and let America know what the Obama’s and their church are really about.

GOP and FOX are FEAR mongers and HATE mongers. You guys should be banned if not prosecuted.
FAIR AND BALANCE, wow, such Hypocrites.

You have got to be kidding me?! LOL

You have CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and assorted newspapers across the country, who have done nothing but put Obama on a pedestal. I’ve seen Fox tell both sides, and you call them biased? Want them shut down? Silenced?

Wow! The Obama techniques of having arrested, silenced, or threatened the press for daring to tell or report anything that Obama deems unfavorable, is working on his followers. True Obama fashion. Socialism is alive and well. How soon before we say Communism? Are Irish bookies running bets on that too?

 
Comment by Roberta Warren

I hope the American people can see through the “acting” and facade that is portrayed by the Obamas. Their real beliefs are hidden behind the facade. Beware, they are extremely leftists who will take our country down if given the power to it. I heard Michelle’s first speech in which she revealed a “poor me” attitude and had nothing good to say about our country. If she listened to hate spewed out of her pastor’s mouth for 20 years, she absorbed his attitude This current speech is given to get votes…..the real Michelle is someone different than what she portrayed. Be aware and alert to all the clues that exist……..don’t shrink into denial and be a puppet when you vote!

 
Comment by Trisha Stephens

I watched to see if Michelle Obama could change my opinion about her. She did not. I did not buy it at all. I still see no matter how much you change the hair, clothes, and makeup an angry woman who can not relate to me or my family. We work hard and I do not want my taxes to go up to pay for more programs that fail, the same old “take from those that have and give to those that do not want to work for it.” We are not rich, we are middle class, we work hard for what we have. My dad was a true democrat. He believed that you work for what you have, don’t expect a hand out, pick yourself up by your boots straps and do it. Take responsibility for your actions. I am a proud American. I love my country and don’t give a hoot how America looks to world. I am NOT A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD, I AM AN AMERICAN! The Obamas “Change ” sounds like socialism to me. Bottom line drill for oil here now, get out of Iraq in a timely and safe way, cut funding to countries that hate us, cut pork spending, cut programs that don’t work. Finally, cut the wages of our Senators and Congressman for a while and have them live on middle class wages, and let me have my Social Security to invest the way I want to.
Thank You,
Trisha Stephens

Matthew 7:15, states, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Those of you who plan to vote for Obama…make sure you know what you’re doing. Our world is full of people who deceive us, and sometimes we don’t see it until it’s too late.

 
Comment by Bill

I’m blown away by the number of people who refuse to see and hear the truth…the TRUTH about the Obamas!! They also (for some inexplicable reason) hate Fox News and consider them the enemy!
This is a direct result of what the radical left has done to America. The people who refuse the truth about Obama are under the spell of the “education”….or perhaps I should call it the indoctrination they received from their Liberal teachers, Professors, and Mainstream Media. They’ve come to believe THEY are the normal ones, and WE are the wackos. They believe it!

So, at this point, I feel compelled to quote Michael Savage.
(I used to laugh when I heard him say this, but apparently it’s true)
Liberalism is a mental disorder!

 
Comment by Virginia Norman

Oops! Tammy Bruce..How could I have ever made the misatake and said that this article was objective?It was purely SUBJECTIVE! However, it’s ok for your small minded readers and Fox contributors..reporting with subjectivity is your style with mistakes. Evaluate, observe, state facts, and put in perspective.
I know your professors maybe dissatisfied with your work..don’t fret, listen to the names I sent earlier, and even Brit Humes. It may help with your writing. OBJECTIVITY always! The public may criticize but you must… Rise above the norm!

 
Comment by Anonymous

How great would her speech really have been WITHOUT a speech writer and teleprompter?? She’s nothing but a phoney, and her sole motive is to go down in the history books as the wife of America’s first black president. Thank God she’ll ONLY be in the history books as the wife of America’s first black presidential CANDIDATE!! John McCain/Mitt Romney will be in the White House and I couldn’t be happier!

 
Comment by MJ

Queen, You are so, so bitter.

How tragic you have let your hatred for the white community consume you.

Life is way to short to let such bitterness control your life.

One day you will realize you have wasted your life hating and all too soon your life will be over.

There is a big wonderful world out there, enjoy !!!

Spot on, Tammy! Michelle’s speech was a whole lot of empty talk.

 
Comment by Beverly

You need to stop!

Your opinions are biased and I don’t think that any of the Obama’s would do anything that satisfied you. Stop the personal attacks! You can’t be Michelle Obama so stop hating. I have come to one conclusion, after watching countless hours of FOX that Obama can explain his experience and plans to move this country forward until the cows come home and it wouldn’t be enough for you. I’m a relatively educated person and I listen well so I think you need to read and attend forums where people specifically lay out Obama’s plans. You need to learn how to process information and stop running your mouth and printing bit od doctored up information that are just your OPINION, too. You say that Michelle is phony and whiny. She didn’t sound whiny to me. She sounded like a sincere person. You know, I really didn’t plan to support Obama, but when I begin watching your station, it made me start searching. I found out he is a very intelligent and thougthful person who relly does have some plans for America, contrally to you opinion. According to the McCain ad that says it okay to vote for him. It’s okay for you to vote for McCain, but stop using ignorant and stupid comments to diss Obama. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN, okay. If you claim to be a good journalist, you should read and research. By the way, I was told in college that journalism is part truth and part what evreyone else thinks, with a little clipping. sound biting and splicing, in the mix. You know what, I would be happy if you would just report the truth. Stop feeding the public with your poison.

Your commentary contradicts itself. You say that the American people are open-minded. Does that mean that you are not an average American?

 
Comment by jason

Have any of you that are attacking really stopped to see who is on the other side of this coin? First off I see Michell Obama as a loving, caring mother, wife, daughter and patriot of this great country. Who in the blue hell are you all to judge anyone who has elevated themselves to prominence in this great country.? Secondly, do you all think that the chief bushbot(mccain) has the best interest of this country at heart? Someone needs to tell mccain that being a pow of the vietnam war doesn’t make him qualified to be president. It is a known fact that America’s deficit is currently at 390billion$ in the red and projected to deepen even more in 2009 thanks to bush mccain and the rest of the bushbots. That is the only crutch that seems to keep surfacing from mccain is his military service as a qualifier for him to be president of the United States. Your attacks on the Obamas show the mentality of people who want this country to retro back to the 60’s. The Obama’s are going to catapult this country to the next level of economic growth, better health care and fairness in foreign policy all across the world. Lastly who in the hell do you think wants to put up with more bush influenced ideas as to what direction this country should go. Before you attack a person take along hard look at yourself and ask yourself “am I any different from the person I am attacking?” Thank you all and have a good day if you know how.

To Wow..YOU are a pot calling a kettle black. YOU and the rest of the liberals would love to shut us up, but we will be around here just as long as you are, maybe one day more. Give up if you think we are going to run away, squealing with our tail between our legs. We have just as much right to an opinion as you do, although you and your cohorts would like to do away with us altogether, and you would like to do away with freedom of speech except for you and your own kind. Get over it. We are here to stay til they take us away by force, which the dems would love to do.

I would like to reply to the comment by Greg August 27th, 2008 at 5:02 pm “The Obama’s are simply anti-American and evil. I don’t care what color they are or what party they belong to, they are not for this Country.”

You sir, are in need of some kind of counseling as is the author of this article. And Fox should not be allowing this kind of posting. You are inciting hate. Michelle and Barack and their family are certainly here to stay and welcome as true patriot Americans. If you can not accept the values of your own country, you and your likes are best advised to leave.

 
Comment by Marilyn

I don’t care what color the candidates happen to be but unless Obama is elected those whining followers of his who think this country “owes” them will always claim racism & I’m sick of hearing that old song!

 
Comment by wow

I am a Dem and I watch Fox news sometimes…for the shear comedy of it. It’s hilarious the way the interviewers quickly cut off any opinion they do not agree with (this is not done on CNN, MSNBC or any of the others labeled the “mainstream media.” But you would have to watch them to know that). It’s also funny how posters talk about the same quotes over and over again made by Michelle & Barack. I don’t think there is anything that Michelle could have said in her speech that would have gotten positive reviews from Tammy or any of the other yahoos on Fox. They are like little attack dogs…waiting in the wings to jump on anything they can and put it on braindead rotation on the network until all of their cool-aid drinking viewers absorb it and begin repeating it. You believe so much in freedom? Free your minds.

 
Comment by Joyce

Is it just me, or does Michelle Obama remind anyone of Hillary Clinton - pre Clinton years?
Probably the same goals.

 
Comment by Sallie Daggy

I don’t know about you, but I was watching Michelle Obama’s facial expressions as Hillary Clinton gave her speech on the evening of 8/25/08 at the Democratic Convention in Denver, CO. It did not display admiration, kindness or fondness or any sort. Matter-of-fact Mrs. Obama’s expression showed contempt and deep rooted hatred, and she didn’t even crack a smile until Mr. Obama’s name was mentioned. I think her body language explained volumes about the “real” Michelle Obama, “It’s not what one says but what they do”. I saw no gratefulness nor grace just anger.

 
Comment by Denise

I don’t understand all the people out there teary eyed and applauding Michelle’s speech. So she had a hardworking family and some cute memories and stories. So do all the rest of us, but who cares. What we really need to know is what the heck her husband plans on doing to this country. And who’s going to pay for it? Don’t the Dems pay attention to any issues at all, or are they only swayed by emotions and pie in the sky talk? The Obama fanatics just boggle my mind!

 
Comment by John Carter

You know, when I read all the hateful things all you “Patriots” have said here about this woman, I’m really not proud of my country. Since the mid 90’s, right wing paranoia and propaganda have done way more damage to this country than Michelle’s clear headed statements ever will. Have her and here husband made some unfortunate contacts in the past? Sure, but who hasn’t. I’m sure that many people feel the same way about actually knowing many of you bigots that post here. …And, I’ve heard some very famous white preachers same some pretty horrible things about their fellow US Citizens as well. Go beat up on some more liberals now…..

 
Comment by Grace Tomasicchio

Comment by Dave Griffin

Bunk!!!!! Well crafted speech designed to mask the reality she has already shown. Would rather have seen Hillary taking the nod and listened to Slick Willy……The Obama’s will cost this country a price we cannot afford. The liberals are setting the stage for this countries hardest times……

 
Comment by Margie

Have you noticed that everytime a democrat blames a news network for criticizing Obama, that it’s the Fox news network they blame? Doesn’t that tell you that the dems are admitting that the Fox news network is the only news network that says anything negative about Obama, although they are fair and balanced, and have conservative AND liberal talk hosts on their network? The dems are in essence admitting that abc, nbc, cbs, msnbc, cnn and others are in Osamabama’s pockets. As for Michelle Obama, she has stated as early as this past spring that she hasn’t been proud of ‘her’ country until her hubby won some of the primaries. She also talked about America being a mean country. I haven’t read her college thesis, so I really can’t comment on that, although I plan on reading it if someone will post a link to it. It would also be a good thing if everyone else would read it, whether you are for or against the Obamas, if you aren’t afraid of what you’ll learn. Anyone can get up in front of people and read a speech about how wonderfull their family life is, but that doesn’t mean it is the truth. I think the real Michelle Obama was the one who wasn’t so proud of her country til this year. If you can believe that a man and his wife went to a church for 20 years, and didn’t hear hate speeches from their pastor and friend, although the rest of us have heard them over and over, and we don’t even go to that church, and Obama’s pastor has guest speakers come to his church who also hate America. The list of Obama’s faults, is too long to even to touch on here. I suggest that you people do some more research into the Obama’s past, before you cast your vote for them in November. If you have an open mind, then I’m sure you will think twice before you cast your vote for the Obamas. Their past speaks for itself, if you would just listen. Our future depends on it.

Comment by Laurinda

I agree. Michelle Obama hates America-but not all America. She hates white America. This woman has nothing but contempt for Hillary Clinton. Last night Hillary was respectful and did as much as expected of her in encouraging democrats to vote for Obama. I noticed in her speech that she clearly did not go over board in her praise of him, she did not address the question of whether or not Obama was ready to lead our country. But she did make a good case for herself. In other words, she will be back. If I were Hillary I would do everything humanly possible to rip that nomination right from under Barak Obama. he doesn’t deserve it. he hasn’t earned it. He can’t hold a candle to John Mcain or Hillary Clinton. The guy is a snot nosed brat.

Comment by Wake Up America

Wake Up America,

First, Fox News lives up to its stereotype as the most ridiculous and biased newscast ever!!! -Thanks a lot Tammy

Secondly, how dare you guys call her Michelle- the Actress, when all this woman did was express and explain her and Barack’s lifestory. The real actors in this country is the current president and his administration, who flat out LIED the weapons of mass destruction, and who staged an all out war over What???? I thought so…. Nothing, but greed, power, lies, oil, and money….

Now, who’s the real terrorist when thousands upon thousands have lost their lives due to a senseless war???

Billions of dollars is spent over in Iraq, when this country is in a financial crisis, as we watch jobs get shipped across seas, millions of people lose their homes and people are struggling now, more than ever to make ends meet. And then we wonder why NO ONE around the world respects this country.

But what consequences has the current administration faced??? All they’ve done is laughed in the face of Americans, as they turn the other shoulder… as they stack their bank accounts…

But we’re more worried about Obama and have the nerve to call him un-American, terrorist, and the list goes on and on…

We really have gotten our priorities out of line, we would rather impeach a president for committing adultery, in which his personal life has nothing to do with us, than to impeach a president who has lied and as a result created a war that has ending the lives of thousands…

Now, we want to elect the twin of the WORSE president in history and hope that things in this country turn around for the better????

ITS TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

It’s good to see that liberals visit Fox News regularly, which is good for the ratings. At least they’re getting a dissenting point of view beyond the normal spoonfeeding. I read MSNBC and CNN.

The Obamas are VERY scary people. The people want change…yeah, they will get their change all right, all the WRONG changes. I cannot believe Michelle feels the way she does about America when this country is the ONLY country that has so much freedom!! And she got her education here????? Give me a break!! She can’t be trusted, either can Barack for president…ecomonic DOOM!

 
Comment by RonG

What I want to know…is how can Michele Obama be a loving, family value, American value, typical “folks next door”, just like ‘us’ kind of person, when that is NOT the typical American Black family?? In what, 70% of American Black family’s, the “man” had long split, and in most cases, no one knows where he is anymore. Also, if she is what she said she is last night, then how could she possibly stay in the church of Reverend Wright…and for 20 plus years??? Lets get real, folks!!!

 
Comment by pnutgallery

I love to see how democrats responded to this article. I also loved to see how the democrats responded to Fox News at the DNC shouting “F*** Fox News!!!” on live television. Real classy. I can see that election time really brings out the best in people. We used to see intelligent, strategized debates on television. Now all we see are stages for elitist, pontificating empty suits who do nothing more than question each others integrity while reminding the American public how we have screwed everything up by electing an ineffective legislation comprised of elitist, pontificating, empty suits. American citizens are well aware of the problems we face today in our economy (housing crisis, rising fuel costs, rising healthcare costs, declining education standards). We are constantly reminded of these issues but never enlightened on what we can do to solve them. All politicians have a “PLAN”. Their “PLAN” is to get elected and to do just enough to stay there as long as they can.

Comment by Queen

Michelle Obama is a Black woman in America. Is anyone surprised that she has issues with this country? If she is angry with America she has every right to be as does every other Black person here. How dare her for calling America out? As many times as Black people are unjustly scrutinized, jailed, and denied basic rights and privileges in the name of keeping America as great as it has always been (yeah right not for Black people), is she wrong for bringing her feelings to the surface? Absolutely not. Rev. Wright is not a racist. He is simply a Black man in America saying what Black people say all the time. He tells the truth but obviously some people like to be lied to. I definitely have to disagree with the generalization that Americans are open-minded people. When a major platform in your presidential campaign is not letting gay people get married, I don’t think that shows anyone’s open-mindedness. If America is so open-minded that should have been an insult to our intelligence and open mind. So America like underdogs but they don’t like being lied to? So I guess its ok that McCain was listening to the questions that would be asked of him during the program with Rick Warren. I guess it’s ok for him to have stolen that story from a book. Wow. Some of you white people are such oblivious and hypocritical idiots it disgusts me. Michelle and Obama represent a threat to the hypocritical American status quo and you guys are scared. But then again why wouldn’t you be?

 
Comment by KnuckleHead

I didn’t realize Michelle Obama was running for president. I guess what I’m saying is that her speach ain’t that huge of a deal.

 
Comment by My two cents

The idea of a Black couple with Black children in the White House no doubt drives millions of Americans crazy (some with joy, others with hate). My observation is that white women lead the crazy with hate brigade. When you combine racist tendencies with the insanely catty and competitive attributes of women, you have pure irrationality. How can white women who moan about the glass ceiling not get the hypocrisy of their “Hillary or McCain/ anyone but Obama” stance. Could it be that Mrs Obama, a strong, successful, brainy woman who seems to have it all gets their goat. Perhaps she should be barefoot in their kitchen scrubbing the pots? It’s no secret that the so-called “women’s movement” has always been about middle- and upper-class white women. Until they perceive their need for equality has been sated with more than enough to spare, black women had best step to the back of the bus. Such a shame. So far still to go.

 
Comment by Kim BUSH

Why is it that when a woman speaks harshly, has tough stances, or defends herself, she is berated, but when a man does it he is elected?

Michelle Obama is an attorney. How many cases are won in the court of law by speaking softly, blushing, and saying please?

I don’t believe for a moment, her speech was an act, or a flip. As a family woman, and as an educated activist I know when I speaking out, fighting for something I believe in I am tough, I am decisive, I am defensive. Speaking about my family, I am proud, I am sensitive, I am emotional. How many anti-choice supporters do you know that use the same tactics to defend their position as they do their children? If that’s the case, I’d really like to see how the guy with the abortion photos all over his van brags about his kids - that must be a sight to see!

The proof is in the pudding . . . if you care to fact check anything you spew. The Obama’s have been community activists, have created jobs for the working class, have support equal pay for equal work - all issues close to home to working families. Factcheck.org and politifact.com are great sources!

Comment by Paul

Now let us be reminded of a few things. : MO is just behaving the way her husband has been behaving, changing, drifting and moving in what ever way the political wind is blowing at the moment. Has anyone (Left Wingers, exempt of course) noted how BO’s accent and speech patterns change depending on where and to whom he is speaking. When he is in the Mid-West he sounds like he is from Chicago. When he is in the South he sounds like MLKjr in both cadence and tone. MO is just following suit. When the campaign was running in the early stages she needed to say what the radical left wanted to hear so that BO would be helped. Now she is saying what she thinks the mainstream wants to hear so that she can have a new address: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I am with you, Tammy. At least an Best Supporting Actress nod for her.

Oh, and BTW, all you Liberals out there screaming and yelling at Tammy. SHE’S A DEMOCRAT….

Acting? Seriously? Don’t they all act whether Democrat or Republican when onstage? You just figured this out? Your writing effort could not be more idiotic. Another Ann Coulter wannabe. The obvious slanted and pointless drivel you have written had no point. God I miss William F. Buckley.

 
Comment by kathy

People should look closely at Obama’s background, voting record and the people he associates with. Obama is extreme liberal and has surrounded himself and anti american and racial views, but yet it is the american way of life that gave him the ability to go to college and become a nominee for President. The Democrats treat him like the second coming of Christ. He has no voting record and not enough experience in politics plus he does not have good judgement looking at his past. He has flipped flopped more times than John Kerry did. Obama changes his mind like the polls do. I am a republican but i vote for who would best fit the job. Obama is not it. We need to keep our American values and way of life, families and traditions.

 
Comment by Mary in NJ

All I kept thinking during MO’s speech (what I watched of the drivel!) was “Fake, fake, fake!!” She does not fool me! I pray for our country’s sake that Obama is not voted in for president. I firmly believe that those who vote for him are signing a death warrant for some of our fellow citizens. Obama’s very weak stance on fighting terrorism is surely providing hope for the terrorists who are watching and waiting!! Be warned my fellow citizens! Obama’s weakness will be our undoing! I’m not some crazed NeoCon!! I am a concerned patriot who hopes and prays our country will be safe!!! This is not an issue of Democrat or Republican! It is an issue of survival!! In the aftermath of Sept 11, we were a nation united! Somehow, that has been forgotten! Let us unite again in the face of those who want to do us harm!! McCain will be stronger in the fight against terror! Don’t forget that!!

Comment by MTG

I also believe that the Obama’s are intelligent and genuine, and even self made successes. The problem I have is that I don’t believe in anything they stand for. They certainly do stand for change, but not the kind of change I want for our country. Forget the personalization, just look at the facts. No need to go further than his voting record, her past comments, and their history of associations. Facts are facts. Socialist is what the O’bama’s are. The Obama’s do not subscribe to the traditional values that have kept this country great for all these years!!

 
Comment by Joel Smith

Yes the Obamas are just like us

 
Comment by gary7

For Kathy Smith and others like her: There are no “falsified “facts” and distorted “views” in Tammy’s article. The fact is that Barry himself has said that he was embarrassed that we Americans don’t speak another language (remember his trip to Europe?). Mrs. Obama said only a couple of months ago that for the first time in her life she was proud of this country. And now in such a short time she has come to love this country?? Barry and Michelle want you to believe they are just like every other blue collar American, you know, all those blue collar Americans that make $350,000 a year (that was just her income!). Yet John McCain is out of touch? Barry’s grand mother is just another “typical white woman”. If anyone else said he was “just another typical black man”, that person would be crucified by the media, by the liberal democrats and others. If you support Obama for the office of President of the United States, you will deserve what ever happens to you as a result of him getting elected which will not happen. He is not only not ready or prepared ,he is not fit at all to hold that office.

EVERYONE, PLEASE GO AND READ MICHELLE OBAMA’S SENIOR THESIS! IN HER OWN WORDS SHE DESCRIBES WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE BELIEVES! HER HATRED OF AMERICA IS NOT THE HOPE AND CHANGE HER HUSBAND PROMISES!

AND I AM STILL HOPING FOR A COLIN POWELL OR CONDI RICE REPUBLICAN V.P.!

I see no point in hearing anything more from Michelle. Her unprompted early remarks were the honest ones and she clearly evidenced a hatred of America. Any remarks thereafter are theater and not worth hearing.

 
Comment by True Patriot

I’m surprised to see a majority of the people posting saw your article exactly for what it is. This is a pure hatchet job. It did not work. So sorry.

Sorry, I just couldn’t accept the ‘nice’ Michelle over the many tough, angry words coming from her in the past. It didn’t make sense to me - so phony and such pretense - kind of like watching a 60’s TV shop. Maybe I will be able to change my mind as I watch her now until election day. I will attempt to be honest in my judgement, I promise.

 
Comment by Fellow American With A "Funny Name"

You people are pathetic. What this women has done is highlight her humble upbringings, focusing on how family values and hard work are detrimental to achieving the American dream. I would like to politely ask you and the rest of the psychological terrorists at Fox News to stop insulting the intelligence of the American people. You guys are really doing this nation a disservice in order to line your pockets and further your NEO CON agenda.

 
Comment by Ron D'

I love how the most intelligent, well-written, thoughtful responses here are in agreement with the column, while the posts critical of the article are generally hastily written propaganda for Obama ‘08.

 
Comment by John in Louisiana

Right on Tammy!! Thanks for standing up and saying what is really true about MO and BO. i just hope and pray that American people will wake up and see them for what they really are. They hate America, they are muslim. they are dangerous people and dangerour to the American way of life.
20 years of jeriamia wright alone speaks volumes about their beliefs, not to mention their total disrespect of America and our way of life.
I value my freedom as an American and though I may not agree with all McCain says, there is no question he is the better choice for president. Obama just does not have the right stuff

McCAIN 08

 
Comment by Christine

Here’s a question. Has any one of you liberals who support the Obamas, realizing that at least Mr. Obama is “pro-choice”, that most probably Mrs. Obama is, too? What do you think she’d tell her daughters about what “pro-choice” means? Does she say, “Well, you’re lucky we wanted you, because if we didn’t, we’d have aborted you.” How do you people describe “pro-choice” to an innocent child? If you can’t describe abortion to a child without feeling squeamish or the least bit uncomfortable, what does that tell you about the (im)morality of abortion? Or the (im)morality of the people supporting it?

I truly cannot believe you dims. Of course it was an act. Have you not listened to Ms. Obama speak before? Her college dissertation is also available for you to read. Everything public she has ever said before is racist,eliteist, and bitter. Her associations with the reverend wright and assorted marxist radicals have molded the real Michelle. What you saw was an ACT, pure and simple.

You are a deranged nutbag who panders to the right wing to serve your own ego.

 
Comment by Joseph

If you want to see the REAL Michelle Obama, go to Youtube and LISTEN to her. She is a very vicious person. Makes Hillary seem angelic.

 
Comment by Emily

This article is aggressively hateful and slanderous and should not be dignified by comment. Is this as good an opinion as Fox can provide? Very sad for our country.

 
Comment by scott

All you lefties who are blaming Fox News for this article are so off base. Reason: Tammy Bruce is NOT a newsperson, she is a commentator who gives her opinions. I guess giving Fox News the blame is par for the course, though, since lefties blame everything on Fox News. I happen to agree with Ms. Bruce in this case. She is someone whom I always read or listen because I am a recovering lefty, just like her.

 
Comment by MJ

I saw parts of the speech but not the entire thing. Let me say up front, I’m not a fan of the Obama’s. I saw the part of the speech where Michelle was talking about her up bringing. What her father did for a living and what her mother contributed. She was obviously so proud of her family, they worked hard and she is proud of what they accomplished. Hooray for them !! They have every right to be proud !!!! That is the American dream…work hard and prosper !!!

Question….. The Democratic party is touting change, change is good. Can someone tell me - If elected will Obama be cutting back on the entitlement programs and encouraging the Americans benefiting from these programs, to work hard and prosper, and achieve the American dream ?

As a hard working American, who is also proud of what she has accomplished, I am tired of my taxes supporting entitlement programs that encourage laziness and sloth. Eliminating these programs and encouraging hard work for the beneficiaries would certainly be a change….which is what the Democrates are hoping to do. This is the kind of change I can and will support !!!
