(31,121 posts)as you say.
Michelle was and is one of the greatest women who ever lived, ever. One of the greatest Americans who ever lived, ever.
And that drives you know who, all 45 million of them, out of their minds.

(47,388 posts)I have refrained from going around saying that Obama told me he loves me.
Might not look right.
But I do love and admire him, he is a political genius, and a decent human being.
Michelle was a wonderful first lady.

(7,694 posts)convention. He'd said about two sentences when I fully/passionately/strongly thought: now why can't HE run for president? This is what we need. And then he did -- my heart was bursting with happiness. To see that beautiful, strong, intelligent, warm family in the White House made me feel that everything was right with the world, and especially my country.

I was really happy when he was elected, but not surprised.
I knew he would win.

(47,388 posts)I was overwhelmed and almost had to sit down.
The audience was all standing in an outdoor setting.
But it was so crowded sitting was not an option.
And the people around me were not too happy since I yelled really loud.
I was with a friend and her eyes were like sauciers looking at Obama and then at me.
I am a quiet person, follow rules, so this was out of character for me to shout out like that, and then I just about died when he answered me back. And I don't rattle so easily.

(58,785 posts)behavior deserves a lower audience, full of the kind who frequently refer to women that way.
It doesn't seem that there is any greatness, or even particular goodness, in her to rise to demand, but when I look at her I see an unhappy woman trapped where she never meant to be. And you're way out of line.

(17,327 posts)I believe Melania is exactly where she chooses to be. It was common knowledge he was a racist that cheated on his first two wives when she married him. She chose him and continued to choose him for years. She is absolutely not a victim. Others who are truly surprised to find out who their husbands really are despicable because there was no evidence before hand, they are victims.

(2,252 posts)if I offended any or all Democratic women, I didn't mean to. If I offended any republican hookers and Russian factory trolls GOOD! That scum deserves nothing less than scorn from real Democratic Americans.

(22,757 posts)tears of precious memories....
that is a day seared in my mind... it was raining outside, I was soaked (no umbrella), somewhere in the middle of the crowd going in...
I wasn't particularly enjoying the plaques and photos downstairs and brushed past a few of the tourists there... at the end of the room at the bottom of the stairs a woman (security) motioned to me to hurry and go up the stairs... at the top another gentleman hurried me and a couple others.... the door was closed behind us and there.... Michelle Obama and Bo were greeting people... Michelle Obama was beautiful and funny and Bo was the softest dog I have ever petted
I can't even remember what and where I went after that

I wonder if ivanka is blessed by small-hands daddy and the repuglicans to fill his huuuge seat; I wonder if she can appoint him as her VP and then abdicate? Is Jared rasputin? Are there poisons and political plots in the future? You bet - get your popcorn and head to your fall-out shelter.
Didn't this just happen in rUSSRia with pute and his 2nd in command?

(49,036 posts)Melania didn't want to go the WH in the first half of 2017 to avoid disrupting Barron's schooling. Obviously with the new school year in Sept 2017 that flimsy excuse vanished.
In any case, we can't forget that Melania was a soft-porn model before her current gig. Which is "okay" even though not laudable. And she lied on her resume. Plus it seems she is an illegal immigrant who fixed up her papers "after the fact".
But she is miles better than the Minority President.

(24,041 posts)Impossible to forget that photo of her in a thong, brandishing a pistol while standing on an airplane wing.
Michelle's bare arms were freak out worthy, but Melania's bare ass was just fine. I will NEVER understand.
I wonder how many male Trump voter jerked off while looking at some of Melania's "modeling" photos.

(1,474 posts)I can empathize with her. Sure, she is a gold digger. But having to be married to the pussygrabber, pornstar fucker idiot is a terrible thing for any woman to endure. She knows the world knows about his affair with Stormy while she was pregnant. And how he treats her and Baron.
Melania, do you love money so much? Or perhaps he is threatening to have you deported?
Any woman would be ashamed of having to be part of his Whitehouse shitshow.
