More importantly, why are there so many republican OP's who can't wait to insult the Obama's with the spelling skills of a 3rd grader?

I.E. speACH - WTH is that?

MEchelle - Michelle.

Obama cRist - Christ

Dim bulbs bent on wasting time childishly insulting people should at least be able to spell.

If you are referring to my post, I had posted early on in this thread that I felt the children speaking during her speech was a bit contrived and I, personally, do not like having children used as props in any way.

The conversation morphed from there. The children and their looks have nothing to do with her speech.

At least Obama's kids recognize him. McCain has spent so little time with his children, only going home a couple of times a year, that they probably have no idea who he is.

Of course Obama's kids recognize him. They spent MANY Sundays sitting by him in church....listening to the spewing of hate and anti-American rants from Obama's 20 year mentor.

Nothing like quality bonding time with your children!

Learning from what I was taught, I took up with an older married man who left his crippled wife and children for me. Of course he has more or less left me stuck out in Arizona on my own since our marriage and only comes around a couple of times a year. And since he cheated WITH me I imagine he is probably cheating ON me. I founded a charity to help poor children get needed medicine but then I turned around and stole drugs that were donated for those poor children for my own use since I was an addict. I have lived my entire life in a luxury very, very few people can even imagine let alone experience. So here I am, ready to be a role model for young Americans. Just be sure to be born to a very wealthy mob boss, steal a crippled woman's husband, and buy him a senate seat. Then you too can live the American Dream.
Oh no'ssssssssss, ACQUITTED liquor rap, compared to the Kennedy's? LAUGHABLE!

Jim Hensley and Marley were charged by federal prosecutors with falsifying liquor records.[11] Defended by future Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist, they were acquitted.

Shame, if Papa Kennedy would have left the mob alone JFK MIGHT be alive today BUT he stole an election with Chicago politics and got bit by his own dog, oh well.

You'd better go back and read some more. He was acquitted the FIRST time. The second time he was convicted and went to prison.
Part of what Don Bolles was investigating, at the time that they blew him up, was why the state was allowing a CONVICTED FELON...Jim Hensley...have a racetrack license when to do so was against state and federal law. Go back and read Jim Hensley's history.

James Hensley profited handsomely from his association with liquor magnate Kemper Marley, a man police suspect ordered the 1976 murder of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, who had written about Marley's business and political dealings. The man convicted of placing a bomb beneath Bolles' car testified that Marley also wanted former Arizona governor and then-attorney general Bruce Babbitt murdered because Babbitt had filed an antitrust lawsuit against the liquor industry in 1975. (Marley, who died in 1990, was never charged in the Bolles case. Babbitt is now U.S. Secretary of the Interior.) A federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948 convicted James Hensley on seven counts of filing false liquor records in addition to the conspiracy charge. Eugene was convicted on 23 counts of filing false statements and the conspiracy count. Eugene was sentenced to one year in prison, and James to six months
