Well said! I think Michele Obama has been nothing but graceful and elegant throughout the campaign process. Even when presented with opportunities to criticize the McCain camp, she has taken the high road.

Then, the station jumped to the McCain campaign and Sarah Palin giving a speech. Almost the first words out of her mouth were of negative overtones avout the Obama/Biden camp. Thus began the slippery slope of Palin trying to bring down the democrats while doing nothing to lift the republican side on important issues facing America. I changed the channel after about 5 minutes. Sarah Palin, imo, said nothing that might sway me to voting republican. She zero'd in on one attack after another against Obama/Biden.

Michelle is a magnificent woman. She's of a different class than McCain and Palin this is obvious. McCain and Palin are pure trash.

Please--not the "Jackie" comparison again. She is a smart, intelligent lady, but Jackie Kennedy. she is NOT.

I totally agree. She is a lovely lady. She and her husband have done nothing but take the high road. What a fantastic couple.


(I am happy to be suprised that this thread is so positive. I was sure that someone would be on here trying to put her down. )

Before M. Obama was re-trained, her speeches were awful to say the least, very downcast very compaining all about her supression....all of which she learned in Rev. Wright's church for two decades and the black liberation theology in their hearts, this is the real M. Obama and barack.

Didn't take long after your post .....

It's still a positive thread about a person who has shown that there are better ways of gaining support without negative overtones and personal attacks. Michele Obama isn't at all on the doorsteps of passing along skewed stories and mistruths. That, to my thinking, is the proper means of not only winning an election... but of being good people in everyday life.

Michelle obama is not running for vpotus. Palin is. To continue to compare the two - one a wife of a candidate and the other an actual candidate, is dismissive and unfair. I mean, had the primaries gone differently, would you have compared hillary to cindy mccain?

Michelle Obama would be a far better Vice President than Palin could ever hope to be.
