I don't see why anyone is making such a big deal about the bitter comment. According to latest polls President Bush's approval rating is mid 20's. The government isn't doing much to help us out, gas prices and food prices are rising, and most of us are struggling to keep up. If that doesn't make someone bitter then you really need to go see a psychiatrist and learn that its ok to have feelings and emotions. That doesn't mean that people can't hope for a better future, it just means they are frustrated and fed up with the government today. Nothing in those statements are lies..they are the truth. The Clintons' make 109 MILLION in 7 yrs..and they are saying that they are in touch with the common man? Last time I checked, the common household is doing well if they can bring in 75 - 80 k per year. Most are substantially below that.

Ms. Michele Obama - YOU ARE ARROGANT!  
And your husband is also - and will never win.  He will need more than just the all black vote and rich white folks - he will need ALL AMERICANS!!!!
This will NOT Happen!

She was knocking down 350k a year and living in a million dollar house but she still sees herself thru a 'lens' that does not apply. She is not a victim of cirmstance or birth she is and has been for many years one of the economic and social power elites. Remeber, the average stiff makes $46,000 per year and that is the average not the norm.

She talks a lot more sense than the other candidate's spouse.

I saw her.  Nose up in the air and all that I am superior jazz.  Can't stand the woman. Elite is something one is born into.  Elitism is an adopted attitude and Michelle & Barack have adopted an elitist attitude.  

This is entirely fair and the right approach for her and Barack...they do know our struggles for the simple reason that they've been there.  Not in the exact same way as us but in enough of the same way.  Their families struggles ARE our families struggles and they show us that our families can also hope to achieve.  My children are the same age as theirs.  I hope they are as successful as Barack and Michelle after their public school education years.  And I hope they are community-minded in their career choices too.  YES WE CAN!

Give 'em hell Michelle!!

The type of money Barack turned down after graudating from Harvard was major.  We know the story and the country is ready for change.  We get it

Yes We Do....Dem United

Hell YEAH!  Looks like Michelle found her voice.  The polling is showing this issue has no traction.  The Republicans won't get traction on this either.  Poor people only vote Republican when it's time to protect God and Guns (gay marriage issues, abortion, and gun rights).  The people who may be offended by this issue weren't going to vote for him anyway.  They probably think he's a Mexican Muslim.

I am so proud of Michelle Obama.  She was also on the Colbert Report last night, and, well, she charmed him... she really charmed him...

As a not-so-young voter, I have to say, I've never been in the place where I have an opinion one way or another about a candidate's spouse.  Until now.  Contrast this woman and the life experience and level head she will bring to the White House with the red-faced snake-in-the-grass that could be the Presidential spouse.  Trust me, the Clintons are a two-fer I could do without.  But Michelle Obama has real intelligence, charm, and presence.  I think she would be such an asset as First Lady.

Yeah Obama is trying to lie out of why he stayed with Rev. Wrights church for 20 years,  and why his Pastor, Wright went to Lybia with Louis Farrakkhan met with Libian Terrorist. And why Obama's friewnd and support Pres. Carter is meeting with  Terrorist leader of Hamas who hates Jews. met with Palistinan Terrorist.
heard today that Obama wenton the louis Farrakhan's million man march.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the next first lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama. There is nothing elitist about speaking the truth. There is nothing elitist about speaking up against lobbyist and the special interest groups that have dominated our politics and pushed the ordinary people in the corner. And there is nothing elitist about inspiring a whole nation and bringing people together.
Thank you Senator Obama. May be Hillary can learn a thing or two and stop all her smear campaign.

See I can relate!  I'm still paying off student loans!

Yeah Obama is trying to lie out of why he stayed with Rev. Wrights church for 20 years,  and why his Pastor, Wright went to Lybia with Louis Farrakkhan met with Libian Terrorist. And why Obama's friend and support Pres. Carter is meeting with  Terrorist leader of Hamas who hates Jews. met with Palistinan Terrorist.
heard today that Obama went on the louis Farrakhan's million man march.

Michelle, if Barack was an elitist he would have disowned Reverend Wright. That's what elitists do. They stab people in the back, including friends and co-workers, to get ahead in the world.

Your husband did not do that despite pressure from the elitists to do just that.

It's called Profiles in Courage.

Isn't it significant that the No-Clue Elite Queen favors 'Crown Royal' whiskey?

It was named after the first Royal tour of Canada by reigning monarch King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth.  It is packaged in a crown-shaped bottle and dressed in a distinctive royal purple bag.

And this $100 Million family has the audacity to label Barack as elitist!  Bill-Hillary family truly believe that voters are ignorant fools.

Also, these are the last few days before PA - a favorite time of the Queen machine to unleash yet another fabricated mud slinging attack.

Barack media people should speed-up & air ads with Bruce the Boss songs + message.  Bruce truly connects with the ordinary older people.  He is smart, talented and really feels the common folk.  

He had it made since day one.

The sixties was a period when a white woman romantically involved with an African had the world at her feet.  Look at all the traveling she did!  A white woman raising black child - was even better.

These spouses should shut the hell up.

Bill, Michelle, etc...

Amen!  Now can we talk about the economy...or something else that actually matters to me

Michelle, We LOVE you and are looking forward to you as OUR first lady! A great example for our children and grandchildren of what can be accomplished thru hard work and perseverance! (And unlike Hillary, you don't look down on cookie bakers like me)!  Cheers to a brilliant, patriotic American, Ms. Michelle Obama! Bless Everyone!

Spoken like a true American who is very "in touch" with what many Americans are facing and feeling. Hard working Americans continue to struggle as we debate elitism.

This is crazy...from one drama to the next.

denounce vs. reject (same thing)

bitter vs. angry (same thing)

It's amazing to me that Clinton and McCain have been in Washington for many moons and millions are voting against them.  They still don't get it! We are not voting against them because we are happy, we are voting against them, because most are bitter (angry) at how our economy has went down the tubes.

We are FOR Change and they don't = Change!  Point blank!

     

Molly, Sorry Sweetie! Barack is going to be the next president, so you better start look for an alternate country to live in.

Obama 08 & 12

Not sure this helps, but don't think it hurts. But at least Michelle Obama doesn't have scary eyes, like another candidate's wife.

I applaud you, Michelle! Sen. Barack Obama is on case and point with the bitterness statement. Our country is one of much bitterness and denial of it at the same time. If Americans are not bitter, then they should see a psychiatrist for help. When I go to the grocery store, buy gasoline for my vehicle, or watch the news I become filled with despair. Everywhere I go, I'm seeing/hearing people who are depressed and disgruntled about our economy. People are not happy with the Iraq War, period, and our President and Dick Cheney's ideas and decisions. So many americans are on stationed in front of their televisions awaiting a daily report on the war afraid their loved ones are either FOUND DEAD or INJURED--bad news either way. We have citizens in america struggling everyday with joblessness, homeless and eating out of trash fills/trash cans, crime at an all time high (reported or unreported)in every neighborhood countrywise, children raising themselves because they don't know where their parents are, elderly grandparents saddled with raising young children and can't afford to care for themselves, senior citizens who are neglected and cheated financially by our Social Security System and can't afford to buy their medication/medical supplies or food,senior citizens having to work after age 62 just to buy food and to make ends meet, many impoverished families are working daily on minimum wage and medium/average salary jobs and cannot afford any medical insurance for their families. Our president is spending unnecessary monies on a war in a third world country at America's expense. America is losing family members in a nonsense war. Many families are stripped of husbands, wives, sons & daughters or their lives are being affected by family members returning from the war physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged. Our veterans have served our country diligently and being redeployed. Many of them have given their lives only to come home either in a casket or neglected financially & medically and not given the consideration they deserve. Many of them are sent home with a "Honorable Discharge" but they will always be at war internally. Their family members are left to do the best they can to manage them in a psychologically (mentally & emotionally) challenged state without the much required medical and financial backing from the Veteran Adm. & Wahington, only to be denied services. What about the victims of Katrina who have been bamboozled, used up, lied to and about, placed in deadly poisonous trailers and forgotten, given up on and called lazy,  and treated less than human. They have watched the inner city infrastructure being rebuilt around them in their faces & their joblessness and homelessness overlooked. So much for the neglected but critical socio-economic crisis in America that's continuously neglected. America is very frustrated, yes, even bitter about our economic situations especially when we have to work two jobs and still can't afford medical insurance, groceries, or to pay for decent housing for our families. While we are spending big billions in Iraq blowing up a country who will continue to war indefinitely with/without the US, we should be spending that much needed funding in our own country where it is needed. This is what I am sure Sen. Barack Obama and Our First Lady Michelle Obama does relate to and will move positively to change. The media and Bill-Hillary are attempting every opportunity they get to discredit and confuse the American Citizens with negativity in the Presidential Race. Sen. Obama knows he has to stay focused on his  goals even though they try to keep his attention on circulated lies and evil white-wash trickery from Bill-Hillary and the Media. Sen. Obama and Michelle like myself, know that the criticisms they are receiving are from citizens who will not vote for him anyway. The Truth Shall Set You Free People!! Sen. Obama and our First Lady Michelle have the support of my whole family and our many friends!!!!! Whether americans want to admit it or not, we are bitter and will continue to be until our struggles are acknowledged and dealt with in America!
