WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain share a dislike of rough-edged U.S. politics. Each tried to talk her spouse out of running for the White House.
Honestly, I feel sorry for both ladies because every move they make is being over-scrutinized by the public eye, but I guess that's the price you pay when you marry an ambitious man.
Why is Michelle Obama being so vilified anyway? I don't get it. I do find her to be abrasive and she's not exactly camera-friendly, but what has she done that is so reprehensible? Of course there was the "I was never proud of my country until now" statement that was certainly a poor choice of words. But maybe she was trying to say that the direction that our country has been going in has been disheartening, but with the renewed interest in politics and people looking for something different this election, she feels a sense of pride and hope that she hadn't before. To a large extent i can relate to that. Anyway, I've read her thesis, I've tried to find out about the "Whitey" thing and even if I was trying to portray her as a racist, I can't. So what is she being condemned for?
It's kind of dumb to compare Cindy McCain to Michelle Obama so I won't except to say that some things that Cindy has done are CLEARLY reprehensible without any room for interpretation. If any of us did what Cindy McCain did, we would most likely still be in jail.
A rehash of Knots Landing or an episode of Desperate Wives?
We're stuck in a never-ending war in Iraq, the national debt went through the roof, the housing industry is in the toilet, financial institutions are in precarious situations, gas prices are fueling inflation, people are tapped out, we have no control over illegal immigration, and we are paying attention to the wives?
