Oh, and I'm not really concerned with what one thinks of myself or Obama. And I'll defend to my death the right to say so.

And you needn't refer to him as my President (ref above - your President). He may be President of the U.S. but he was not my choice, I did not vote for him, and do not want him. Yes, we all pay the price, dearly. So, if you're offended by my reference to your President, then just don't read my work.
I'm pointing out that when we disrespect others, we are really disrespecting ourselves.

When you use insults and demeaning language to try to make your point, the only point you are making is that you choose to be the kind of person that uses insults and tries to demean people, instead of someone that actually makes an argument.

I'll defend your right to free speech. And I presume you would defend my right to comment on the things you say. Even if my comments aren't flattering.

Who cares if she presented at the Oscars. If any of you whiners were offered this same opportunity, you'd jump on it like white on rice. Basically we have a bunch of hypocrites in here.

I love how people feel that THEIR PERSONAL views on what a POTUS / FLOTUS should do or shouldn't do are some kind of natural law that the Obama's are breaking. The only thing going on is people don't like them so anything they do is horrible. And people don't like anything they aren't used to so something new and different will be met with criticism.

That's all folks.

Nope if you are an American, he's still your president. Sorry.

Mrs Obama looks just like the dude that cut our grass when I was a kid.

Crazy seldom recognizes crazy. But mental help is out there for those who, in a moment of clarity, recognize their judgments are our of whack with reality and clouded by strange fixations about knowing everything about someone they clearly do not know.

To me it doesn't look right for the POTUS to be on TV so much smiling when we have so many serious issues going on in the country right now
