I'm really disappointed in Michelle Obama right now.
Look at the Fund Drive graphic. Obama has had to extend his arm to unrealistic lengths on that board, and Michelle hasn't moved an inch. How can we rely on her as First Lady, if she won't make the least attempt towards a fist-bump? I'm not saying she had to meet him halfway, but a bit of effort on her part would have been nice. I weep for this country.

The terrorists have won. I'm moving to Canada.

1. Hey, the man has to make all the moves. No 50/50 crap.
Even in the 21st century where we pretend it is. :P

we might get a glimpse of what she is wearing and rip into her

7. It's insltingly sexist.
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 12:32 PM by Rabrrrrrr
I thought we just ushered in an era of change. I didn't realize that we'd just re-elected a 1950s "man does the work and takes care of physical defense; woman sits back and takes care of home" patriarchal anti-feminist Iron John ayn randian dystopian hegemony.

36. You'll never find intellectual wordplay and creative verbage like that on a conservative site.
Not in a million fucking years.

8. We can't see it yet,
but she's actually holding Little Georgie by the scruff of the neck. It will all become apparent in the end.

10. I sympathize with your opinion
But I was taught that ladies don't fight. I have no doubt Michelle could take out most of those guys it would be unladylike to do so.

18. I for one shall never again fear terrorists
due to Obama's "Giant Robot" type detachable, nuclear-powered flying arm, ready to provide a true terrorist fist jab to any and all enemies of peace, love, and whatever the US wants at the moment.

at this rate he will have the same approval numbers as Bush in no time.

34. Donating to DU is just going to perpetuate my disappointment
as Obama's arm goes further, while Michelle smugly sits there...unmoved.
