"Most people live like us"?!

I don't think most have a close, criminally charged associate who is able to set us in a $1.6 million dollar home!

Or a 1.6 million dollar fund raiser to get us elected to the Senate.

Go McCain at least he is married to.

no, ugly people like barack and michelle are capable of leading people. you should never judge someones ability on looks. nor should you judge someones ability to lead on their ability to give a good, scripted, speech on change. yet, that is what the obama supporters have done. it must suck to loathe yourselves.

I'm particularly annoyed when it occurs with women, because lets face it, both McCain and Obama are not the traditionally attractive men (although my mom thinks Obama is sort of cute) and you don't see people clucking on about that in the way that people like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton have to suffer comments about their appearances.

Exclamation Michelle Obama stating "most people live like us"

Wow, so the Presidency has even exposed those who wish it to be a spousal Beauty Contest. Amazing.

These comments diminish the very essence of the work women and equal rights organizations have fought for, for years. This sinister line of bias is sickening to behold and I would hope that we can all come to the point where it is the heart of a person we see and not the outward appearance.

Absolutely amazing.

In response to the OP......maybe because she pumps gas like the rest of us...lol.

PS - ask Californians what a "million" dollar home looks like, you may be surprised. Chicago isn't the cheapest place to live, but neither is Jersey, New York, Cali, and a myriad of other places....

Michelle Obama wants us to move past the rev. something they didn't do for the last 20 years and now we have to do it within weeks...... What is wrong with this women. It is all about being selfish and what about what the rev. was saying about slavery... why aren't they getting over it as soon as we have to get over the rev. with his racist remarks!
I don't want any one to forget slavery or any bad thing that happened and is part of the World History. For a candidate for the presidency of the most powerful country in the world, to come out and keep treatening us as fools..... this is too much!

too funny. I would ask someone in california what a million dollar home looks like, but I don't think that they know. what was a million dollar home two years ago is probably selling for $350,000 now.

Okay people shouldn't judge on looks, I agree although she looked very mean in the interview and that has nothing to do with beauty but just being a angry mean looking wife of a candidate.
As far for the million dollar home....they are stating all the time that they are from unprivelaged come backs.... wow, how many can even afford the "small" million dollar homes as you are mentioning. Do we have to feel sorry for 2 people who had a change on getting an education at Harvard and Princeton? How many kids are everyday waiting for letters from the University's in the hope of getting admitted.....

it's just a little ironic that people say don't judge someones ability to lead on looks, but those same people are judging someones ability to lead on a tired old slogan. the last thing we need in washington is another guy begging for change.
