"Oh my, it's a Freudian slip, Mrs. Obama secretly hates America!! Oh no!!"

The worst part is, this is picking appart statements made by the wife of the aspiring president. This does not necessarily mean anything at all about Barrack Obama.

For the other "scandal" that Hitlery's campaign has invented -- plagurism. Here's the interesting part of that:

1.) John F Kennedy did not originate the, "Ask not what your country can do for you ..." line. He lifted it from an annonymous author from the UK, which was made in reference to Prime Minister Chamberlain. It was requoted several times. Kennedy is only credited with the statement because he is the most famous person to have used it. He also gave no other person credit for the quote.

2.) "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure Roosevelt was not the originator of that line either. He also did not credit whomever he borrowed the line from.

3.) The "I have a dream" speech of Martin Luther King Jr was heavily borrowed from other sources as well.

There are countless examples of this. The Hitlery Clinton Campaign trying to make "plagurism" out of this is ridiculous.

So once again, Clinton and her supporters choose to make something out of nothing. They're that desperate.
Hitlery? Flame much? Please stop.

As much as I dislike El Jorge, I do think Laura Bush has made an admirable First Lady. She knows when to keep her mouth shut.
Why George wouldn't have it any other way!

She said this is the first time in her adult life that she is "really" proud. It's important to get the "word for word" right first of all!

Yes this country is a wonderful country to be proud of, when you take away the many years of slavery, jim crow, lynching, hanging, lack of womens rights, etc... You take all of those bad things out of the equation of what has helped to build this great nation and that makes it euphoria right? Sad thing is that we have had that nasty history in this country, so to sit and act like it never existed is being delusional or in some capsulated fantasy world of your own making!

We are at a point where there is evidence of something beautiful, real unifying change, this is what she is "really" proud of, and I agree with her.

Really?? Would she be more of a disgrace than ex-dope head mistress turned Botox trophy wife Cindy Mc Cain?

I am proud of my country has accomplished since our birth, but the last few years, I myself am not "really" proud of my country, but, I hope we can once again make this country great, by getting rid of the riff-raff.
