Michelle was laughable, all right.  She was a fake last night.  What happened to the racist, U.S.-hating elitist that thinks we're all ignorant?

McCain has sunken to an all out LOW.  I really dont know why anyone would  vote for him.  Chuckie (Mcain is my Daddy) T/Morning Schmoe and MCMSNBC where is the reporting of this???

I urge everyone to boycott McMSNBC except for Countdown, they are clearly political hacks for McCain.  

Party like there is no hereafter!!

WE ARE GREAT she said in her own humble way. DONT VOTE IN ANYONE WHO MAKES MORE than you. Isnt it great to have to rich guys like obermann and mathews talk to us 400000 a year people and try and act like they are with you .HA Then point to the other guy and say hes too rich .

Obama 08 - one spouse, one house!

I want to know why the media has give mccain a pass on his statements " I didn't love America unitl I was deprived of her".  This is very similar to what Michelle said.  I see no difference, so if she is unpatriotic, then mccain is unpatriotic.  He does not get a pass from me.  
Michelle made all of her critics look like the scumbags they are for distorting and maligning her.  Good for her.  

Wonder how cindy mccain is going to justify being chased by and getting involved with an ol'married godger?  The mistress speech.  Wow!

WHO SHUSTER ,mica.MADCOW<ODONNEL>MATHEWS> BARNICAL >STEVENS >FORD ON AND ONb EVEN SCARBOROS trying to hold his job by agreeing with the democrats.Now name who it is you say is against him on msnbzzzz my bad the old guy BUCANHAN he even talks fairly about obamma so site who you are talking about .

Dude, chill. The "ad" is a satire done by a comedian!
Even McCrab wouldn't go this low.

HEY SHUSTER, were the OBAMMAS pimping out their kids like the CLINTONS awwe is that unfair.

Off Topic

David Shuster made my day when he shut down Joe Scarborough this morning… Joe the Idiot didn’t even see it coming. David Shuster is one of the very few who doesn’t allow Moring Jealousy to spout out his ignorant hateful reckless rants without challenging him on it… He broke him down and it turn into a very uncomfortable situation for Joe.

Shuster called him out on John McCain and I loved it. Joe try to resort to insults by Shuster wouldn’t back down and continued to challenge him.

I believe the panel was privately ecstatic

Oh boy. The next McCain Ad will try and paint Michelle Obama as a celebrity now. Followed by another Ad that will try and paint the youngest Obama daughter as a celebrity as well for taking the mike last night and saying hello to her Daddy. Then they'll make an Ad trying to paint Michelle Obama's Mother as a celebrity, then her Brother and then Obama's Grandparents. They might even try and paint Obama's half brother who lives in a poor Kenyan village as a world celebrity. Before you know it every single person connected with Obama, past and present, will be touted as celebrities by the McCain camp. Heck, Obama should then juist drop out of the race and have himself and his entire family hit the road where they are assured to make millions as celebrities.

McCain's response to running so many stupid Ads trying to make the entire Obama family out as celebrities. Well don't forget my friends. I was a celebrity once. I was a POW.

Representative Rahm Emanuel you are a class act. No other party in American or probably on earth is funnier than the GOP. They have inarticulate Dubya, demented McCain, murderer Cheney and, of course, criminal, subpoena dodging, Rove.

When she spoke of Hillary it just angered me all over again! I think she needs to clean her own house of rev wright and no pride in her country and the racism and sexism in her husbands campaign before she cleans up the white house. Obama delegate called Clinton delegate an "Uncle Tom" but you wont be reporting on that will you Obama network. Is David Shuster going to talk about the way Obama "PIMPED" his whole family tonite I guess not. If he does I wont see cause I don't bother to watch them anymore Used to watch from 5 till 10 every nite but it's a waste of time now I watch CNN and FOX and the rating show it too.
============================================
Vera Thompson,
That is as Rachel Madoww says “post-rational”.
First of all, David Shuster is a fine, objective host and journalist. Keith, Rachel, and Dan are just as well. I’m sorry you missed the point.  The persons you should appeal your bias to are Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarbough. I can almost guarantee you there you will gain satisfaction.
As I watched Michelle’s speech it was so difficult to hold my tears back. I saw women other women too with tears in their eyes too; women of every nationality. Michelle said…“So I know firsthand from their lives -- and mine -- that the American Dream endures”. And isn't that the great American story?"
Basically, what Michelle said to me(and probably the majority of Americans) I am apart of the American dream and you can be too!  Also, last night I saw love; love of family; love of neighbor; and love of country. Just listening to her family background and values her parents instilled in her to make a difference, certainly attests as to why Michelle was so attracted to Barack ; since his mom and grandparents instilled in him.
As a descendent of slaves, I could agree more with Michelle. I love my country just as Michelle does and I’m proud of the First African American Lady in Waiting”. She and Barack are true public servants; otherwise they advocate for our livelihoods e.g. mortgages, energy, unemployment, healthcare, education, failing infrastructure, and dumb wars (including possible invasions of Russian and Iran).  
America is diversified—economically, ethically, racially, politically; but we all got Michelle Obama’s message. We are one in that view when we engage the great American story!

Nobody but Obama
Obama/Biden 08/12

Dear sick,
There never has been a US hating elitist.  It is only a figment of the right wing imagination!

Cindy better not be going out to some bar without me.  You don't pull that on a Peee Oh DoubleU.  I will not be like my opponent and let women do whatever.  Just like them whining about coverage for prescription birth control.  Give me a break....Viagra?  Hey, that a whole different deal, especially for anyone who didn't have a table for 5 years.  Mrs. Obama influence is surely a dangerous thing for real men and their women.  Now let's all sing Bomb Bomb Iran.

Great speech last night,that is what most are saying about both Michelle and Ted.But the real fireworks this morning were between McScarbro and Shuster,After shoe called out Mcbro for his Repuk talking points that he is only to happy to repeat,along with McPat,B.Typical repuks trying to put down any one that dosn't agree with the Iraqie Goverment wanting time table on withdrawl,why because The Bomber would have really nothing to talk about.The repuks are the new War only party.No plans .even when they start wars they don't have a plan.After the dust settled on Morning Mcbros Mcbro said that Shuster must be on acid.after hearing this insult it only confirms that MSNBC would have a better show if Lassie was on there in stead of Mcbro.

McCain has sunken to an all out LOW.  I really dont know why anyone would  vote for him.  Chuckie (Mcain is my Daddy) T/Morning Schmoe and MCMSNBC where is the reporting of this???

Dude, it was a JOKE...the author of that post is a comedian!  

To "sick of Obama in MI":
   I am quite worried about you. You should calm down and relax. Why can't you enjoy life and appreciate good people and good things when they come by? Hope common sense will come to you soon.

I just had to comment : I have stopped watching msnbc in the morning because of that moron Joe S. This morning I came across a HUGE SMACKDOWN on Joe S. by David Shuster, he kicked Joes butt !!!!!!!!!!!
Dave should have that show !! WHY IS JOE.S STILL ON ?

To USAFVET, that link is meant to be funny not real. There is no ad attacking Obama's childrenn, so don't worry.

She was brilliant and only people blinded by lies and racial hate can't see that.

Hey, Andy is a comic writer. He was joking in that article. Even McLame isn't that crazy. lol

Here's an idea "Sick of Obama"...

Maybe she really is a smart, sophisticated, eloquent, caring wife, mother and woman.

I understand how that might confuse you though, Republicans hate strong women - Hillary, Michelle, Nancy, etc...

What happened to the racist, U.S.-hating elitist that thinks we're all ignorant?

Like all GOP magic tricks, this one disappeared into thin air.  The hateful Michelle that appeared in front of you Mr. Sick of Obama in MI, was never there!  She was invented by the GOP and you swallowed the illusion hook, line, and sinker.

She finally got a chance to define herself and did an excellent job.  And if you didn't see it, you weren't paying attention to the kids.  That can't be faked.

So start paying attention and you will see the McCain Campaign's slight of hand.

Or don't even bother, Sucker!

USAFVET, Tucson, Az


Hahaha, I guess you don't go to HuffPo much. Andy Borowitz is a comedian.  His posts are all satire.

It was a joke article.

Everyone should boycott Morning Joe after this morning's childish and disgraceful behaviour by Joe himself with his temper tamtrum reacting to a comment by David Schuster. I felt sorry for everyone else on the set who obviously were very uncomfortable with Joe's relentless tantrum. This morning's show made Fox network look good.  Get rid of Joe!

Scarborough has to go. Forget politics, he's just a hack

After reading these blogs for some time I have to say that I have seen more insulting posts with no facts by the Republicnas than I have seen from the Democrats. On the flip side the Democrats insults have been aimed at Hillary. Both are deplorable.

Republicans, if you can't elaborate on your issue positions than why are you a Republican? Your insults only show your lack of intelligence.

Democrats, if you continue insulting Hillary you only risk damaging the base and giving the election to McCain. Like Hillary or not she has a lot of supporters. She made mistakes and lost. It's over. Don't keep insulting the lady.

We have to repair a lot of damage that the Bush administration has done to this country over the last 7.5 years. We can't take the chance that McCain could win and continue the failed policies of the past.
Out of control debt, loss of rights (habeus corpus), rampant crime and corruption in the rebuilding of Iraq (Halliburton & Blackwater). Not to mention the future direction of the Supreme Court.

To all you McCainiacs with your foul mouths out there.  So how do you feel about the fact that your guy is a serial adulterer who cheated on his disabled wife several times, including with Cindy, before he finally dumped her to marry his wealthy beer heiress?  Is that cool with you?  Even Ross Perot still holds a grudge against McCain for the cad-like manner with which he treated his faithful first wife.  John McCain's honor means nothing.  He is a serial adulterer.

Let's just get it out. They are a black family. Can we trust a black family to lead the United States?

Can we put aside Republican fears that (as Fox News called her) Obama''s Baby Mama will:

-Decorate the White House in the Red Black & Green?

-Create the independent black nation of Detroit?

-Name P-Diddy the Secretary of Music?

-Make watermelon the national fruit?

There''s good news! This lovely mother Michelle Obama & her two darling daughters are just as American as me & you, with the same values & the same dreams for her girls as you have for your children. She is a devoted wife who is truly inspired by her husband''s leadership & still sincerely in love. She is someone who has pulled herself up from her bootstraps.

Don''t let misinformation fool you.
If some rich kid can''t spend a trillion dollars right, it''s time we give someone from a family with a monthly budget like the rest of us a chance.

Yes, They Are Black, we can say it. It''s not a bad word. There are black families everywhere who are good American people. The Obamas are a beacon of hope, an example of everything that is still right with America! They exemplify how education levels the playing field so that anyone can achieve their dreams if they work hard at it.

So let''s confront the elephant & be done with it. The Obamas are black & they are also just as American as you & me...maybe even better than me! That''s okay. I need a leader I can admire....Anice Ladi

I want to know why the media has give mccain a pass on his statements " I didn't love America unitl I was deprived of her".  This is very similar to what Michelle said.  I see no difference, so if she is unpatriotic, then mccain is unpatriotic.  He does not get a pass from me.   Kenn @ 1:31

Why don't you grow up and listen?  There's a WORLD of difference in what they said. By her own words, Michelle said she's had all the advantages of this country. Yet, she calls it a "mean place" and that she's just now "proud of my country for the first time in my adult life."  For somebody who claims to have been blessed by this country, why does she hate it and denigrate it?  

What John McCain said was not as you quoted. It was more to the effect that until he was deprived of his liberties he had not appreciated his country ENOUGH.  If for 5-1/2 years you were deprived of your freedoms, even the right to post crap like this, I would guess you'd have a different appreciation of your country. Michelle NEVER lost any rights; in fact, she had more opportunities than many.  So, WHY DO THE OBAMAS DENIGRATE OUR COUNTRY?  He even did it in Berlin!  Go back to Chicago....hang out with your anti-American preachers, slum lord felons, domestic terrorist Ayers and the rest of the radicals you love.

To the person in need of lithium at the top of these postings (sick of Obama)...if you thought that presentation was fake, I'm not sure you are human.  I've spoken to a lot of republicans today that were very impressed with Mrs. Obama, though they're not behind Barack.  Recognizing real emotion vs. acting isn't all that difficult for a normal feeling person.  Get a checkup pal.  

I can't wait to get home to see the YouTube of that smack down.   I guess Joe won't want to be on the same show as David anymore either.   Joe used to be on Race for the White House every night... until Rachel smacked him down so hard he stormed off set like a little child throwing a tantrum, and hasn't been on the panel since.

I have new found respect for David Shuster since his recent hosting of Hardball.  He really did a great job.

HEY SHUSTER, were the OBAMMAS pimping out their kids like the CLINTONS awwe is that unfair.
kenn (Sent Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:33 PM)

The fact that Shuster even has a job after what he said about Chelsea is disgusting. And, remember, Obama said he wouldn't be pimping his kids on tv anymore either. Just another Obama lie.

America will get what we ask for. If McCain is voted in...the midwest will continue to sink and the US will continue to lose credibility around the world. Americans are so stupid sometimes.  How else do you explain re-electing Bush?

It's very simple, it couldn't be anymore clearer.
A vote for McCain, is more of the same. If your rich, you will love McCain, he is YOUR MAN....He stands up for you, during that stressful time of having your tax cuts and breaks put on the line. He understands your trouble times of keeping up with your houses, finances, and major concerns, that only the VERY RICH would know. I am suprised that more Billionaires aren't making more commercials for McCain.....after all, he has No ideas of his OWN......

I love Morning Joe, and I like that he is one of the few people on MSNBC who has something positive to say about McCain.  Hearing all of the republican bashers gets a little old, and I think the MJ show brings a little balance.  If you don't like the channel, change it.

Ted Kennedy deserves his moment in the limelight.  It is unfortunate, however, that the role is one of resurrecting a Camelot that is now further in the past than John McCain’s POW experience.

Michelle Obama did a very good job staying within the box she was assigned, that of potential First Lady.  She could really be outstanding in that role.  She has great presence and the contrast between her last night and Hillary Clinton tonight (doesn’t matter how “good” Hillary is) will put the exclamation point on why Hillary just couldn’t get over the hump.  And tomorrow night, no matter how hard you try to make it otherwise, it will be all about Bill.

Tis striking and talented Ivy League educated African-American woman and her Ivy League educated African-American husband are standing at the pinnacle and telling millions of people that they are just like everyone else who has had to work at life (including millions and millions of Republicans). I found myself wondering why their party, and they, have insisted throughout the campaign that this country is broken?  Isn’t their story living proof that it’s not?

The difference in this country is the opportunity afforded to the 90% who aren’t elite.  The elite and rich are always with us. The United States has the most benevolent rich and elite class in the history of the world.  Our rich and elite is made up of a large number of people who started out like Barack and Michelle Obama and moved out of the 90% into the 10%.  Like Cindy McCain’s father.

Like John McCain’s father and grandfather, who did not choose a rich life though they rose to the elite within their profession.  They apparently didn’t get rich doing it, either. John McCain, like John Kerry, married money but unlike JFK, RFK and Teddy, he was not born into it.

The Obamas’ history is closer to Ronald Reagan’s than Ted Kennedy’s.  It’s fascinating that part of last night was devoted to the “dream” of one of the richest and most elite (for generations) families in American history, where its most current and recent principal figures were born into status, privilege and opportunity that the vast majority of us won’t touch in our lifetimes.  

John, Robert and Ted Kennedy’s upbringing and status were so far removed from Barack and Michelle Obamas’ it seems a bit incongruous for Democrats to invoke “Camelot” and a presidential legacy that lowered taxes on rich Americans on a scale never even approached by a Republican.  

I, too, feel good about this moment when an African-American husband and wife stand on the pinnacle of what this country has to offer.  We should bask in the strides we have made, not revel in some perceived misery that we are a second class nation on the brink of ruin.  

Michelle Obama was positive last night and successful in showing that she loves her country.  Many of the posters here seem to look forward to three nights of negativity and Republican bashing now that such trivia is out of the way.

RE:  Scorning Joe.

I could not agree more that Scarborough is a hack and an incredibly rude one, at that.  I saw that mocking bit of nastiness this morning and immediately changed the channel (I won't come back in the morning until he is gone.  I'll still watch at night for KO and Rachel Maddow's new show) and fired off an e-mail to the program.  That was truly a disgusting display and why Shuster didn't just get up and walk away, I don't know.  They should have all left, including the sycophantic Mika.

I admire Mrs Obama, wonderful speech last night. I cried ( it dont count as I have allways been for obama
since 2004).
Lets talk about the media, Thank you David Schuster
I often would love to punch Joe Scarbourgh in the nose, but thank you again for this morning. Mika please, dont let that blowhard talk to you like that,
and why doesnt your husband slug him. Have you no pride, hes a worn out republican. Mika, I for one would like to hear your opinion. I quit listening to Moron Joe a couple of months ago, but cant help it during the convention. MSNBC will lose that morning slot in rateings soon. Keith you are my guy and I am sure I will watch Rachel every night right after Keith.Pat B. s really full of it.  Why must we have these party crashers at our party. I never thought I would think so little of Ann Curry, she was really bad last night, somehow I think that wasnt her idea, I think she was told to tow the line and try to stink up our party. Let us democrats worry about Hillary and Bill they belong to us, they will be just fine.
Hillarys supporters will also be just fine, leave them alone, they are hurt and dissapointed and feel mistreated. As soon as they realize who has been mistreating them they will get it together. Its the media ladies, THE MEDIA. I love the conventions, both of them. I cant wait for the hate fest in Minn. they
have nothing else to say or do. If they go down the policy road, nothing but bush and cheney all over , or they might lie, they do that a lot too.  Then 3 weeks to the first debate, cant wait. I cant see the American public being fooled again. Love Love Love
Sen. Biden. Cant wait for his debate either, cant wait to see him campaign, I am really excited.

Obama/Biden

Staged. The whole thing. All staged. Why people even bother to think different is a mystery.

suggestion, replace Joe Scrapebarrel with Aaron Brown

I see Franken is hanging around comedy where he belongs.  Doing a little networking for his post campaign career?

Sick of Obama in MI: That Michelle was a phony construct of the RNC Propoganda/Lies Machine.  But the pampered rich princess, former dope addict and adulterous home-wrecking arm candy of a senile codger 19 years older than she is, Cindy Lou Who (who has more houses than 2!) is unfortunately all too real.

MSNBC.......Joe had to go.......

Somebody give KENN another beer to go with his hatred and racism. Hey KENN I usually do not drink until the afternoon, but have a another one and keep up the hatred. It is all the republicans have to run on.

Shuster blew Scarborough out of the water.

Scarborough is a bit out of control.

Dear "Ha ha" - - no, I didn't watch the convention.  Just the paper media of her speech was enough to make me sick.  And no, it's not a figment of my imagination.  I did the research into some of her past interviews and papers.  I know who the REAL Michelle is!!  

It's all Imus's fault. Scarborough made a lot more sense when he was on at night. I know from experience that doing the early morning shows dominate your life, and can also lead to terminal crankiness. I know Moanin' Joe was a FLA repugnant, be he had a more open mind when on at night. I think he's just raggin' cause of the hours. If Imus is nice to Rutgers, we're all still looking at the saggy cowboy in the AM.

Of course, it being a TV show and all, he might have just been given a role, ya know, "Pub Lover", so as to make for a more dynamic debate, and maybe garner and hold more viewers. I don't wish to shock anyone, but that stuff does go on.

Really, no kidding.

We love the Obama's. Michelle and the kids were excellent last night. You can't fake stuff like that. GOP hatters..McCain's wife is a gold digger and wouldnt have looked as his old ass if he wasn't in the political arena.  She can't hold a candle to Michelle.

I'm just curious, but when did it become unpatriotic to talk about problems the country has? Is it only patriotic if we view the country through rose colored glasses? Of course this country is great, but there are many bad things going on here too. There is always room for improvement in everything, even our own country. Saying America can be mean does not mean you don't love your country. Saying you are not proud of things going on in the country is not unpatriotic. The women rights movement, civil rights movement, and job labor laws all came from people seeing injustices and speaking out against them. The leaders of the movements were not "proud" at what they were seeing. Patriotic is loving your country enough to see its flaws and working with people to correct them. Michelle is a very classy and intelligent woman. Are the people posting smears about her "proud" of their remarks? To me they are being "mean".

Erin Flynn, Rockvegas, FL: Scarborough is no where near a hack. He is far more objective than any other MSNBC host (well, Dan Abrams and Tucker were). Olberman, Maddow, Matthews, and Mika might just as well change their name to I love Obama.
