Michelle Obama: Families struggling? 'My husband gets it'

Cindy McCain used her medical relief organization to obtain barrels of narcotics from doctors that she ingested herself. There are numerous criminal violations that she committed while doing this. The only reason she came clean was because someone blew the whistle on her and how she was not prosecuted is a mystery. Cindy McCain is a junkie, just like Rush Limbaugh. Sorry, but that's the truth and her hypocrisy is astonishing, kind of like the rabid, anti-Obama posters here. You don't fool anyone. Not this time!

Back your statements up with some legitimate facts or links that people can refer to. Anyone can print garbage.

Do we really need more greed in the white house?Maybe he is going to open them up to a few of the now homeless people that his buddy Bush allowed to loose there homes on his watch.

What do you mean you have seen a few of these homes? Bus tour maybe? And how do you know they are all 500,000 and up? Are you a real estate agent? Dont worry, the Obamas themselves are very wealthy. Michelle Obama alone has made a 6-figure salary for the last 10 years. Wish I could make that kind of money.

So I am sure you pointed that out when Kerry married the widow of a successful businessman and they use that fortune to support liberal political causes. In that case she wasn't even related to the man who built the fortune she just managed to marry him before he died.

Oh yeah, and Heinz earned his fortune the old-fashioned, Republican way: He inherited it. What a bunch of fools.

What a nut.
Even if the drug abuse charge was accurate, all of the good done is still true.
Try to be somewhat rational. You are trying to claim that someone is going to spend millions of dollars of their own money (not someone else's as liberals would) just to be able to take some of the drugs for personal use?
And you accuse someone else of hypocrisy to try to avoid the facts.
Very good tactics if you have no rational response, which you obviously did not.

How do you know Cindy paid for those narcotics with her inherited money? Maybe they were donated? That's more likely. Regardless, the answer to whether she acquired the drugs for her own personal use is: YUP. How many poor African patients writhed in agony for days because Cindy gave them sugar pills instead of the drugs they thought they were getting?

Where did I say that she didn't do some good? Nowhere, Mr. Scamblebrain! So, because she did some good things with her inherited money, her criminal acts should be ignored? Using that logic, Tom Petters should be freed and given his passport back.

How can people even think the Republicans are better at economic growth than the Democrats?
Please give an example.
Under Clinton, we had the largest technology boom in history... Under Bush, we have a housing crisis that is about to bring us back to the depression.
Greed and un-regulated spending lead to waist and the stifling of innovation...
In the last 8 years, the republican administration have destroyed our economy with childish policies and greedy lobbyist.

Clinton (or any President was responsible for for a technology boom?

Sounds like Al Gore inventing the internet. Government does not drive business, all it can do is get in the way. And the only reason Clinton didn't do more damage is that as soon as we (the country) saw what he and Hillary were trying to do, we elected a Republican majority in the House and Senate to keep them in check.

Using your logic you probably have trouble feeding yourself.

Name calling and stupid responses seem to be your specialty.

I am also Proud that my husband supports partial birth abotrtions. THey pull everything out but the head and then crush the skull so they don't have to call it murder. Yeah, then I will let him take all your guns out of your homes, because they kill people. I'm so proud of that. I think I'll program myself to dream about it all night.

You do realize, don't you, that the Supreme Court already issued a judgment on the Second Amendment, affirming an individual right to bear arms, so, Obama could not take away your guns even if he wanted to, which he does not.
As for Obama's supposed support of late term abortions (actually, he opposes them)- please provide evidence.

He lived it?
Read up on his upringing and see if it is even close to the typical middle-class American that he is trying to identify with. Lived in an affluent part of Indonesia and went to a school for the mid to upper class (2nd through 4th grade). Went to Punahou Academy in Hawaii from 5th through 12th grade (current tuition is over $16,000 per year). Went to Occidental College (tuition of $50,000). Studied at Columbia and Harvard. Why can't she stop her comments at "we were fortunate"?

On scholarships and college loans, which the Obamas finished paying off just a few years ago.

ACORN: The Fraud Continues
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/1...
In Lake County, Indiana, ACORN turned in 5,000 new registrations. The authorities there started reviewing them, and quit after they found that the first 2,100 were all fraudulent. The mind boggles: ACORN turns in thousands of new registrations, and not a single one represents a legitimate voter.

ACORN is required BY LAW to turn in ALL voter registration forms it receives. Well aware that some of the forms are phony (filled in with names like "Mickey Mouse"), ACORN actually separates out the apparently phony forms, and tags them, so the authorities can more easily identify them. That hardly sounds like fraud. Moreover, it isn't voter fraud when a paid worker turns in a registration form filled in with "Mickey Mouse" - it would be voter fraud only if "Mickey Mouse" turned up at the polls on election day.
This is all right wing hype.

Sure they do. When 57,000+ fradulent applications were submitted in Pennsylvania, I'm sure ACORN had already flagged all of their fictitious submissions:


"A retired Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice says that she is "not confident we can get a fair election" in the state come November.

"Justice Sandra Newman, accompanied by Dauphin County District Attorney Edward Marsico and Pennsylvania Republican State Chairman Robert Gleason, expressed her concerns at a Harrisburg press conference this morning. A thick document replete with photo copies of phony registrations and aerial shots of vacant lots used as "addresses" for "voters" was handed out to journalists.

"Gleason was even more explicit.

"Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board" with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. "Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election."

Breaking the law is just right wing hype?

Oh, that's right, if you are the enlightened one anything you do to get elected is justified.

You are correct though that Mickey Mouse isn't the problem. The problem is how many other registrations are illegal aliens, dead people, and fraudulent names that in some states can now walk in, without ID, and cast a vote.

ACORN is an ongoing criminal enterprise using extortion to force loans that should never have been made (Obama's specialty) and to commit voter fraud i support of Democratic candidates.

And to make matters worse, people like Obama funnel tax money to them to make it possible.

As I said, ACORN is required BY LAW to turn in ALL the registration forms it receives, even the ones that are fraudulent. Because of this requirement, ACORN separates out and flags the registration forms that appear to be phony. What else should ACORN do? Try to suppress the votes of eligible citizens just because they are poor, members of minorities or likely to vote Democratic?

What you're overlooking here is that the leftist ACORN "registrars" are culpably complicit in *manufacturing* the legions of "voters." Witness the identical handwriting/signatures on many of their fraudulent submissions.

Michael Ramirez understands the quintessential Obamaphiliac ethos of ACORN: http://www.investors.com/editorial/cartoons/I...
