One of my better qualities is ruthless self-awareness ... well, honesty, too ... hell, toss in modesty while we're at it ... and generosity ... and love of my fellow human beings and concern for 'Holy Mutha the Urth' and all her chirrens ... I am a wonderful human being and an example to be followed by all people everywhere ...

Where does the line start?

hummm, ya sound a little sacrcastic..and bitter there.

I really don't get what is so special about that particular conversation. Maybe her complete misrepresentation of her husbands hand being held out in the hopes of "civility".

"here is my plan, you must accept my plan or my shills will go on PMSNBC and call you racists, bigots and sheep lovers"..

what a joke..

Don't be jealous ... with a little bit of work, you, too can be every bit as excellent and marveious as the miracle which is 'me' ...

You may worship me from afar until you, too, attain perfection ...

Thank you for your permission...if for some silly reason I choose to worship you I would just do it since I'm a big girl and I do what I want... I worship nothing and am quite happy with my optimistic, peaceful, loving self..I have no reason to be jealous of anyone. Because I'm so compassionate..I do feel sorry for those who are so angry, judgmental and depressed. I think it's sad. I always remember those like that during my loving-kindness meditation each night. Peace brother

I agree. Judge not less you be judged. I think it is good that he has a positive view of himself and thinks he is wonderful. Everyone should have someone who thinks they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is usually nice if it is someone other than yourself but in this case I think he is going to have to settle for his own admiration

Is that kinda like how she said "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country"

So you were never proud of anyother first ladies?

lol,, let the assumptions fly. Well the thread is called CURRENT news and events and I thought the current first family would be appropriate fodder for conversation(they are certainly appropriate when people wish to start insult threads towards them,, but oh, inconsistent standards shouldnt surprise me anymore,,,)


for those haters, for those tiny minds with big egos, for those who feel any compliment of the current first family should include compliment of former first families, but who dont believe insults towards the OBamas need such mention of past presidents,,,,


here ya go

The Clintons,, I was very proud of. I was proud to see an intelligent couple who carried themself with such self respect publicly and who did such a wonderful job with their own child, who was also quite articulate and classy.

The Carters, I was very proud of. I was proud to see the intelligent couple who were also such philanthropists and who were so involved with charity and giving back to others.

thats as far back as I take it since I only started voting in 1987. I am sure this will suffice for the FAIR AND BALANCED opinion so many OBAMA haters are seeking when I share a positive thought about Barack or Michele.

I have no problem with anyone giving compliments. You portray the Obama's as being some of the most intelligent people around. I'm not saying they aren't. But I would think of someone who has such intelligence would be more down the middle with there beliefs and not try to do things there way or no way.

And if my memory serves me correctly I believe it was you who posted a topic of saying only nice things about people and I posted a pic of the Obama family and complimented on how they are a nice looking family, and I believe it was you who then posted something derogetory about former first lady Bush. Pot calling the kettle balck?

your memory serves you INCORRECTLY, insults is not how I roll(as my teen would say),,,perhaps this is why I can only take so much of the type of insulting posts that serve no real purpose towards the topic,,,

I dont believe the OBamas the most intelligent, although I do believe them more intelligent than many who try their best to belittle their intelligence. Intelligence, in general, is just a trait that still impresses me however pc that may or may not be. Clinton was a Rhodes scholar and Carter was extremely intelligent as I posted earlier.

Someone with intelligence knows what it is they know and knows what it is they still need to learn. Whether this is middle of the road or compromising.. I feel this president meets that very criteria.

No my memory serves me correctly!

I wish I could be a bitter man....

Hi msharmony...

I think you knew this would be red meat...

Your best quality is an unbelievable tolerance for the insufferable...

That's what I love about ya!

The first lady is just that a classy lady.

She is not phoney or pretentious.

I am proud to have her represent this country.

You can see both strength and intelligence in her with lots of class.

OOPs

I love it when others are left speechless by the mere presence of my magnificentness ... You may worship me now ...

Personally, I love Michelle Obama, and I love all these haters.

They don't hate nobodies...

Back on topic

The first lady is by example an excellent inspiration for young girls in this country.

Class, strength and intelligence.

I'm unlocking this topic. Please get back on topic.

I think all the first family pictures published in my time have been lovely actually,, with the exception of those including barbara bush

ummm,, she really scared me,,,,lol. mama bush looked out of place with the rest of the family I guess.

my apologies....Barbara has beautiful white hair and her sons have lovely wives.


ok. I wont split hairs here but it really was more a comment on the picture and not her (I have taken bad pictures, everyone has) and I did follow up with the compliment about her hair,,,
