Due to the taxpayers having to pay for it.

But it was ok for Bush to go in 2008.

when he should be running the country. And if neither of them had gone, it would have been tacky because obviously they're so petty they didn't want to be there if Ann Romney's horse wins a medal.....

There's no winning this one.

They can't stop denigrating strong women.

Remember what they did to Hillary Clinton.

talking about classless. They are the 2 worst example of female politicans that put ALL female politicans back 20 yrs. Mrs Obama isn't the most beautiful woman in the world but she is one of the classy ladies in the world. She always looks beautiful. She always looks like she wants to be where she is at any time. Not many first ladies look like that. I even likes Laura Bush and many times she didn't look happy being there. Our first lady is one heck of a respresentive for our country.

with your MotherInLaw but, then, I no longer speak to my Texas-bound Yahoo Inlaws either.

with no filter,

but, she loves my husband (recovering repub),
and we get along just fine.

peace, kp

My mother-in-law is a bit like yours, and my husband is a recovering Republican too. (He's pretty much a Democrat now; it's all over but the paperwork.)

is now an "Independent"

but, he often sounds like a "bleeding heart liberal"

peace, kp

He only hung on for as long as he did so he could vote for the less horrible person in the primaries.

This time, he didn't even bother.

My husband insists he's an Independent. But in fact, he's only voted Republican in a few local elections. He's voted D. in every national election since 1972.

He comes from a really conservative family, but he prides himself on being "independent-minded." And he is. He's one of the few people I know who doesn't judge a situation until he's studied it. But even when he was a Republican, his favorite president was Jimmy Carter. So he's an odd duck.

mother-in-law is only 65.)

Just (proudly) sayin'.

where you declare you haven't eaten watermelon in months and your wife tells you that you ate some 5 minutes ago and she should know because she had to cut it up for you. Argument ensues. LOL. (My grandfather when he was age 97)

but that is some funny shit right there. oh lordy. one of my co-workers told me that her son picked her up at work and that she was so busy fussing at him for being late and using up the gas. that she didn't realize he wasn't in the car after driving half a mile from work. lol, over the top funny. she said he was just sitting on the curb when she got back to work. man I could not stop laughing for nothing.

DUzy

"women should shut up and let "smarter" men run everything" sort of woman?

peace, kp

network FAUX News or listen to drug limpbaugh daily?

the San Diego Union Tribune, every day cover to cover

pretty much same stuff as Fox, a day later,


peace, kp

I mean, obv she's getting some sort of biased/bigoted info from somewhere...

Ms. Obama is a very classy, intelligent woman

good luck with this

thinks Michelle is the classiest First Lady of all times
and so do most of her friends

peace again,
(i keep thinking if i say it often enough, it WILL happen)

My mother in law was like that. If you go back to their youth, there was a lot of racism. Not necessarily blatant, but subtle. I bet his mother sees "classy" as a white thing by definition.

My own mother-in-law makes similar comments. She knows I'll take her to task if she says what she really means, so she couches her racism in obvious euphemisms like "no class."

They believe things to be established fact that are complete fabrications

They can't bear to listen to the (black) president, or anyone remotely liberal or even middle of the road, so therefore, they have no exposure to the Obamas themselves whatsoever. Their opinions are derived from the RW talking points. Thus the teleprompter claim, the Chicago thug claims, all kinds of characterizations which have nothing to do with Obama and they sound delusional saying it. One wonders if they know how stupid they sound.

She seriously believes that the ACLU is a consciously evil conspiracy to destroy America. She seriously talks about Nancy Pelosi the way we would talk about Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann. She seriously believes the President is either a communist or almost a communist but certainly part of some kind of Marxist-Islamic conspiracy. In ordinary life she is a kindly, tolerant and reasonable person. But her information sources are something from a different planet.

Michelle Obama has been nothing but full of grace. Especially so, when you considers the lack of grace that is shown her by a certain community of white women in this country.

Michelle Obama hasn't done anything to be deserving of their scorn except the audacity to have been born a black person.

But watch, this isn't racism they'll say......

Even accomplished black people are still seen to them Ni***rs.....

And even more sad, it isn't always limited to Republicans.

What did she do ?

Does she think Anntoinette Romney is classy? Why?

sarcasm

Does she realize that Michelle is not the president or running for office? Makes one wonder.

And I was NOT a Michelle fan. But she continues to impress the hell out of me.

But, she won me over. I love how she interacts with children. She doesn't stick her foot in her mouth. She doesn't seem to look down on people. I can't say anything like that about Ann. I haven't seen Ann with children, but I can imagine the look of pain on her face. I would say she sticks her foot in her mouth way too much, but it seems like a permanent fixture there. She does look down on people or rather "you people". I sincerely hope Ann never gets to pick out drapes for the White House.

Michelle knows how to dress an imperfect body so well that I actually get excited to see what she's wearing. Fills me with hope whenever I see her.

as an excuse and to get in an extra dig at you. Pay no attention, if that's possible.

Or nay be it was just "That woman".

it isn't something that should be said in polite company.

What a stupid thing to base your support on. I think she's not being honest with herself or you.


Michelle is not only classy she's also one of us. She's a real person who doesn't spend $990 on a t-shirt, and never referred to the American public "you people".

but my mother leaned democrat or else she was just agreeing with me but if she had lived to See PBO win she would have been horrified.

She was scared to death when Jesse Jackson ran, no matter what I said she wouldn't budge.

I learned to become more Democratic because of my in-laws and husband. So grateful for that.

My father was a farmer so therefor republican.

if it flew up her ass and tickled her tonsils.

Mrs. Obama has shown nothing but class. BTW, has she ever seen the photos of Dumbya and the female beach volleyball players at the Beijing Olympics? Now, that was "classy".

You have my sympathies. My idiot brother has gone that route, too. He hasn't insulted Michelle Obama yet, he has been spewing a lot of the other bullshit.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.

That is a particularly stupid one, though

Good luck with that.

I don't agree with her at all and think that it's extremely selfish, but at least it has logic to it, unlike those who live in trailer parks voting for the GOP.

We haven't had this much class in the WH since JFK went to Europe and defered to his wonderful FLOTUSJaqueline. I am so in love with the whole first family. I live abroad and it is so fantastic to be proud of the President & his amazing family.

for the same amount of work and same job title.

I asked this to a teaparty patsie and received back a blank stare with no answer.
