No one president is perfect in all regards and the one we have is the worst we have seen to date.
Did Bill Clinton take part in protests FOR the draft, all the while knowing full well that while other young men were dying in the jungles of S.E. Asia, he would be riding his bike around France and living in a mansion while trying to convert the unsuspecting citizens of France to his religion?

Pathetic comparison.

LOL, do you mean like calling a felon, or are we referring to the killer of a women? Do you mean calling people racist or insinuating that people who have a business are bad people. You can dish it out but can't deal with it when it comes back at you.

So every working woman who is struggling to make ends meet, in your opinion, is a loser?
Everyone struggles . But the way you are all acting like your the only one who has problems and acting like a bunch of jealous idiots.

Why can't you liberals admit you hate her because she's a conservative woman. At least be a little intellectually honest with yourselves. Quit pretending that you hate her because she hasn't had it hard enough, based on your imaginary scale.
What? Raising five boys somehow makes one special?

I raised five boys (still have one at home) and I did that as a single parent working two, sometimes three, jobs.

And while I haven't battled cancer or MS, I did get seriously injured working at my last job (in a SAWMILL), leaving me permanently disabled.

I didn't realize I was special.

Michelle Obama is an impressive woman - one who is able to balance poise, strength, and Ivy League level intelligence. I didn't know what to think of her in 2008, but I've come to admire her.

Her husband, the President, came from a non-traditional family and was raised by a single mom, one who succumbed to cancer and didn't have the best resources/care to deal with it.

Jealousy is altogether negative, regressive state of mind. The jealous thought says “I want what you have, and thus until I have it, you shouldn’t have it either.” This is very different from simple envy, because now the emphasis is not on you moving forward, but rather on keeping the other person back. That’s why jealousy can be so destructive and all-consuming; the jealous individual gets into a state of mind that presumes the right to control other people’s pleasure.

women, mothers especially, ARE special, regardless of where they come from, or what class they are in.

people look at ann romney today, and judge her story based on what she is today, rather than perhaps take her story at face value and realize that just because mitts father was rich, doesnt mean that mitt started out rich. dad may have told mitt that he is going to have to make it on his own while dad is alive. has anyone ever thought about that? remember that mitt made his OWN money, and when his father died, he donated ALL of his fathers money to charity.

i dont denigrate michelle obama, i think she is a fine lady in her own right and has raised two fine daughters. by the same token i dont dengrate ann romney or sarah palin either, as they, along with every other mother on the planet, have raised their children. rich or poor, unless they abused or killed their children, ALL mothers deserve our respect. they go through a lot for their children(including their husbands!!).

And she and Mitt made their money? LOL. Most people who are rich today are rich because their families were rich. When you start off on third base, it's not that difficult to hit a home run.
You probably ought to do some research about how they became wealthy before you spout off. They give more in charity (including Mitt's entire inheritance) in one week than you will earn in a lifetime.

Deal with it.

Your post about Michelle Obama, and all her vacations, dripped of jealousy.
Trust me.......not a single Republican woman is jealous of Moochelle the Wookie! Not a single one wants to be one single bit like her.

Trust me.

So, Dale, you're white and Mormon then, or some very right-of-center Christian? Seriously, because this "colors" people's views. Harvard grads who look the look and talk the talk get absorbed into the mucky-muck "good ole boy" system and then print money, and the situation mushrooms. His education, squeaky clean looks, political ties, patrician ties, and yes, SLC ties, created a synergistic effect for him, and don't deny it. There are Harvard MBAs, who sort of ended up there, who competently teach in community colleges or run not-for-profits. They are certainly not rich and they are invisible. More often that not, they are not wh***s, but they are contributors to society. I'm sure that, in sifting through Mitt's corporate career, there is plenty of evidence that he has been a wh**e. And the wh**ing most likely made landfall at this breakfast table.

In short, Dale, knowing the demographics of the posters helps assess the polarized views people have, such as yours.

Democrats: Give me what you have. I can't take care of myself. Jealousy, anger

Republican: I can take care of myself just leave me alone.
