What's wrong with Michelle Obama?

The Candlejack thing was funny after I looked it up on Urban Dictionary.

Michelle hates America.

[worker201]

She doesn't hate America, she's been largely indifferent to America.  As it has been largely indifferent to her.  I'm actually glad that Michelle is not one of those "I love America, and the reason I love America is because I love America" thugs - John McCain being a prime example.  Typical redneck nationalism is useless - it's like telling a girl you love her on the first date - if that's all it takes, it ain't worth all that much.  Michelle's POV is that the real and valuable nationalism is the kind that comes around when something special happens that makes you truly believe the words.  (It's kinda like tipping, really - rednecks are like people who tip 10% all the time, no matter how the service was, and Michelle is the kind that doesn't tip unless the waiter really goes the extra mile, and then she tips 25%.)  For her, a black man being taken seriously for president is one of those moments when true and valuable patriotism is called for, and it's hard to pretend that isn't a pretty significant thing.

I'd say if you only love a country when it's people give your husband a chance to rule over other people your love is not wanted.

Personally I'd much rather Obama over McCain but they're both just empty suits to me really.

Also, why does this concern me? Because this election will effect my life a lot even over here. I know no matter who things little will probably change though, which for me is a load of my shoulders. The benefits of America's decadent ways are to be felt over here. The fact is even if Obama is a marxist like a lot of people say (and he was involved in a couple of marxist organizations) I know if he does rape America for the businessmen, then either Europe, Singapore, Japan, etc will fill the gap.

Because Obama is surely not stupid enough to not realize that fucking things too far is futile because America would loose most its prosperity quickly without all that international trade being ran in its borders I don't see much to worry about. Same with McCain, actually, a republican is often worse and usually means: tarrifs, etc. Though with Biden's union friends I don't see tarrif cuts happening in any significant way no matter who wins.

Thanks to pigdog Capitalism and the fact America has to compete with many other countries and rising powers, everything should be just swell for me.

As it has been largely indifferent to her.

I just looked Michelle up thinking her life was a terrible struggle by your comment there. She went to fucking Princeton, graduated cum-laude, she got to become a lawyer. I'd hate to say it but not a large amount of middle class kids like her get to grow up like that. Sounds like America has done a lot for her actually, and she needs to stop BITCHING.

If for a little patriotism you need to have a dictator position handed to your husband by a mob, I'd say you really are asking too much.

I'd say if you only love a country when it's people give your husband a chance to rule over other people your love is not wanted.

She specifically stated that her "love" was not directly related to her husband's success.

Here's another metaphor for you: her patriotism is like a stereotypical Jewish mother's love for her children.  Of course she loves her children, that's so everyday that it ends up being taken for granted.  But when the daughter becomes a doctor, or the son marries a nice girl from a good family, there is a totally different kind of pride that the mother has.  From this perspective, even rednecks are strati-patriotic.  They love their country everyday, but the love is different on July 4th and when they visit Pearl Harbor.

FYI, you can be very successful and still be aware that other people are being systematically denied opportunities for success.  Being an intelligent ivy-league lawyer doesn't mean all your speeches should start with "The rest of you are kinda fucked, but I don't care, cuz I'm successful."

[Kintaro]

The only thing I see systematically denying people success are policies like those of her husband.

Expand Use of Drug Courts

Obama will give first-time, non-violent offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in the type of drug rehabilitation programs that have proven to work better than a prison term in changing bad behavior.

Oh man I have to love this. Instead of just ENDING DRUG LAWS, the mentally ill will now cop the punishment because junkies will get thrown into state hospitals and cause havoc. Something I've witnessed in Australia with my own damn eyes.
