Oh man. Marxism is alive and well with the First Lady of the Obamanation… Most Americans, she said, don’t want much. “They don’t want the whole pie,” she told the women. “There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach.”… “If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said. “The truth is, in order to get things like universal health...

"Bill Ayers isn't out bombing anymore, but he has never stopped being a radical. His ties to hostile Marxist regimes remain, raising more questions about Barack Obama's refusal to fully repudiate him," states Investor's Business Daily. . . . "Obama says he barely knows [Ayers], but in the years when he was meeting and serving together on the Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund, as well as launching his career with a fundraiser in Ayers' Che Guevara-festooned house, Ayers made at least four Marxist pilgrimages to Caracas to praise Chavez's dictatorial regime," continues IBD. . . .

Barack Obama is the target of a shadowy smear campaign designed to derail his bid for the US Presidency by falsely claiming he had a close friendship with an attractive African-American female employee. The whispers focus on a young woman who in 2004 was hired to work on his team for his bid to become a senator. The woman was purportedly sidelined from her duties after Senator Obama’s wife, Michelle, became convinced that he had developed a personal friendship with her. The allegations were initially circulated in August, just two weeks before the convention at which Obama finally beat his...

MRS. OBAMA, WHITEY, AND THE N-WORD With the stock market in an unprecedented freefall, with disturbing tales of banks and bailouts filling our newspapers and TV screens, and with Obama breaking out with a commanding lead over McCain, a little levity is in order and you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ooBhnjl5v4&NR=1. That link is to a parody of the whole, “Did Michelle Obama use the derogatory term, Whitey, at some point in time brouhaha” and, being a parody, that YouTube tape sheds no light on the question but is nevertheless amusing at the same time it raises some questions. (Mrs....

A.M. Mora y Leon Barack Obama's original political sponsor Wiliam Ayers has ties to the Hugo Chavez regime that apparently continue today. Here's how Hugo Chavez advertises Ayers as a member of the directorate of the Miranda International Center, a think tank funded by the Venezuelan government. There is zero doubt he approved of this description of who he is below on the Venezuelan government Web site. I translated it into English for you: Bill Ayers USA bayers@uic.edu 212-576-8274 William Ayers was the leader of the revolutionary and anti-imperialist group The Weather Underground which initiated armed struggle against the government...

An idea of what Ayers has in mind for America's schools was provided in his own words not 40 years ago when Obama was eight years old, but less than two years ago in November 2006 at the World Education Forum in Caracas hosted by dictator Hugo Chavez.With [anti-American Venezuelan despot Hugo] Chavez at his side, Ayers voiced his support for "the political educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how . . . all...

The Obama defenders are whining that William Ayers radical bombings in the 60’s are dismissible “old news”? They declare Obama’s associations to be “irrelevant”! (Somehow I’m prompted to wonder what they’d say if McCain was a friend of a former 1940’s Nazi Prison Camp Guard!) Obama’s associations ARE relevant. They speak to his judgment and to his character. And they form a PATTERN! Rev Wright, Fr Pflaeger, Minister Farrakhan: These are radical, anti-American, anti-semetic and hardly traditional Church leaders! And Obama called them mentors and spiritual advisors. What did he learn from them? Does he share their views? Much of...

I am a child of the ‘60s. I grew up with the radical twaddle of people like Tom Hayden (the Ted Baxter of the radical Left), and Romper Room Revolutionaries William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, the Mao and Jiang Qing of adolescent radicalism. It was an overheated time made worse by nursery school traitors. It was a time during which the most pampered generation in the history of mankind went into an extended tantrum, punctuated only by the indulgent sighs of their misguided and clueless parents who still apparently thought the destructive impulses of their little darlings were somehow cute....

Barack Obama's supporters have trivialized his connections to former Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood," Obama told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on April 16. Campaign strategist David Axelrod told CNN Monday that Obama "certainly didn't know the history" of these two barbarians when they hosted a reception for him when he launched his political career. Obama might not have heard of Ayers and Dohrn's brutality from the '60s through the '80s had they merely tossed a rock or two in anger. But these two went much, much farther. In 1970,...

Michelle would make the WORST FL imaginable, but currently the poll reads: Who would make a better first lady? Cindy McCain 32% 27091 Michelle Obama 68% 57251

Barack Obama's campaign on Thursday tried to fend off a withering attack from his opponents surrounding the Democratic candidate's relationship with former domestic terrorist William Ayers, co-founder of the radical Weather Underground group in the turbulent Sixties. But there are still questions over when Obama truly learned about Ayers' radical background. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor told FOXNews.com that the Democratic presidential candidate was unaware of Ayers' past when Ayers hosted a political event for Obama in 1995, when he was an Illinois state senator. Vietor said it was a small, meet-the-candidate event -- an assertion Obama and his advisers have...

Barack Obama spent twenty years at the feet of a preacher who thinks that the United States is responsible for the Second World War, and that we invented the AIDS virus to kill African Americans. Obama worked closely with "education expert" Bill Ayers. Ayers is frequently described, even by his critics, as a "former terrorist." This is not accurate. A "former terrorist" is someone who once advocated or committed terrorist acts, but now renounces them. In the late 60's and early 70's, Bill Ayers conspired with other "Weathermen" to plant bombs in the Pentagon and elsewhere, and apparently took part...

A Yonkers, N.Y., councilman whose home was bombed nearly four decades ago by the Weather Underground says Barack Obama should know better than to associate with the domestic terror group's co-founder, Bill Ayers. "Barack Obama constantly says, 'I was only 8 years old when this happened.' That's kind of his throwaway line," John Murtagh told FOX News Thursday morning. "I'm not questioning what Barack Obama was doing when he was 8 years old. I'm questioning his behavior as an adult to choose his friends, mentor and longtime personal and professional colleague." Murtagh discussed the 1970 bombing as John McCain's campaign...

The McCain campaign, in a continuing effort to link Barack Obama to domestic terrorism, released a statement Wednesday from a New York supporter, recounting how his family home was firebombed by the radical 1960s group founded by Obama supporter William Ayers. But the McCain supporter, John M. Murtagh, has his own ties to radical protesters: He served as a lawyer for a Catholic priest who led protests at an abortion clinic that turned violent. Mr. Murtagh embarked on a media campaign in the spring to publicize the 1970 firebombing of his family home by the Weather Underground, the group that...

Barack Obama does not want to talk about Columbia. Not even to his good friends at the New York Times, who’ve so reliably helped him bleach away his past — a past neck-deep in the hard Left radicalism he has gussied up but never abandoned. Why? I suspect it is because Columbia would shred his thin post-partisan camouflage. You might think the Times would be more curious. After all, the Democrats’ presidential nominee has already lied to the Gray Lady about the origins of his relationship with Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Back in May, in a...

A quick follow-up to Andy McCarthy’s intriguing and provocative essay exploring when and how Barack Obama and Bill Ayers really first met: Michelle Obama joined Sidley & Austin as an associate in the fall of 1988. She had previously been a summer associate at Sidley & Austin—evidently in the summer of 1987. According to Wikipedia, Bernardine Dohrn worked for Sidley & Austin from 1984 to 1988, while she unsuccessfully sought admission to the New York and Illinois bars. (According to Sidley’s managing partner, Dohrn didn’t get admitted to the bar because “She wouldn’t say she’s sorry” for her acts of...

Michelle (New Proud Member of America) Obama is going to voice her opinions on Sarah Palin AND William Ayers controversy live on Larry King Dead (I mean Live!) 9 PM EST. Grab your mouth guard...the grinding of your teeth will cause you a great dental bill.

I had an experience wearing a headscarf last week that was culturally and politically interesting. More on that in a minute. It made me think of Michelle Obama. Last year, Mrs. Obama introduced her husband at a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Like so many of Mrs. Obama's speeches, this one reflected a jaundiced view of her country. She began by telling the crowd that her husband was "special." Nothing very unusual there. But then she offered a glimpse (she said) into their private discussions prior to his run for the White House: We talked about it and asked...

Michelle Obama hit two fundraisers in Chicago Monday night. The first was at the Douglas Dawson Gallery of art on the Near West Side. *snip* She told the crowd her husband understands the problems of average Americans -- "He gets it. We've got one candidate who gets it and one candidate who's trying to get it." With only 29 days left in the campaign, she asked people not just to contribute but to convert their friends and cross state lines to help bring neighboring battleground states into her husband's column. - Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan "even Pennsylvania." "Tell people your...

Michelle Obama Put Terrorist Ayers on Speakers Panel When Michelle Obama was Associate Dean of Students, she put together a "distinguished" panel to speak about Juvenile Justice. One of the speakers was State Senator Barack Obama fresh off being elected with help from the Marxist New Party and Chicago Democratic Socialist Party (see here and here) affiliations. One of the other speakers on the panel was terrorist Bill Ayers. Now the note in the student newspaper (see below) written at the time, called Ayers a "former offender." Now IF THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER KNEW AYERS WAS A TERRORIST, HOW THE HECK...

Allies in War By David Horowitz FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 17, 2001 ON THE MORNING OF THE ATTACKS on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, along with a million other readers of the New York Times including many who would never be able to read the paper again, I opened its pages to be confronted by a color photo showing a middle-aged couple holding hands and affecting a defiant look at the camera. The article was headlined in an irony that could not have been more poignant, "No Regrets For A Love Of Explosives." The couple pictured were Bill...

No kidding? The Disgruntled One was also a whiny pain in the ass at her first law job? Being Barney The Purple Dinosaur's lawyer might do it to you. The group went out of its way to give Michelle work suited to her interests. When an opportunity came in to handle the budding public television career of Barney, the purple dinosaur poised to become a phenomenon among American children, Goldstein says he and others felt it had Michelle's name written all over it. "Michelle had some smattering of public interest" experience, says Goldstein, who is now at the firm of...

According to Snopes.com, Princeton was requested to put a 'restriction' on distribution of any copies of the thesis of Michelle Obama (a/k/a/ Michelle laVaughn Robinson) saying it could not be made available until November 5, 2008 but when it was published on a political website they decided they would lift the restriction. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/thesis.asp Subj: Thesis - Michele Obama aka Michelle LaVaughn Robinson OBAMA'S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED In her senior thesis at Princeton , Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama stated that America was a nation founded on 'crime and hatred'. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were 'ineradicably...

From various clips dating back to 2004 Michelle and Barrack Obama insult the United States in various ways. VIDEO

WASHINGTON--The title of a new biography of Michelle Obama is simply "Michelle" by Washington Post Magazine writer Liza Mundy, and an excerpt running in the Sunday edition tells of her discontent as an associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley, Austin, a "challenge to manage." Barack Obama met Michelle at the firm Michelle joined after Harvard Law School. She was part of the marketing group one of the "fun" practices at the firm--dealing with entertainment, after all, but there still was routine second year associate work Michelle Obama was not crazy about. excerpt...... "But Michelle could also frustrate her...

Even then, there was a lot of buzz about this 27-year-old prodigy from Harvard Law School. The fact that she [Michelle My Belle"] was Obama's mentor made her feel self-conscious. "My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before," Michelle wrote in her thesis, " "Dave Jones also was struck by Michelle's compassion," "Barack's idealism and his desire to help poor African Americans swept Michelle off her feet"

Anyone know where they're hiding Michelle Obama? Has anyone seen her lately?

From: "Michelle Obama" To: "Whitey DrownMyanmar" Whitey -- This Friday, we'll reach another milestone in this campaign -- the first debate of the general election, on September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time. Millions of Americans will tune in to watch Barack debate John McCain about America's foreign policy and our role in the world. Barack will share his plan to bring the change we need -- to restore our place in the world, ensure security at home and abroad, and reestablish the United States as the world's economic leader. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more...

Michelle Obama issued an urgent call to action to supporters today, imploring them to get friends, family and neighbors off the fence and into the camp of her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. "With less than 50 days, every day, every minute, counts," she told about 1,800 supporters at the park outside Camp Randall. "He's up against a tough opponent with a lot of resources." Recent polls show Obama running neck-and-neck with Republican presidential nominee John McCain and holding onto a slight lead in Wisconsin. While Democrats have won Wisconsin in recent presidential elections, they have done so with...

One of my favorite commenters, Madison Man, just happens to have an office window overlooking the scene: The time is 10:30 a.m. Notices for the event said that the "doors" would open at 9:00 and the event would begin at 10. Not quite a hotbed of Michelle-love, is it?

Both Presidential Candidates Targeting Green Bay Independent Voters MADISON, Wis. -- Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama will be back for more campaigning in Wisconsin on Monday. Obama will appear at a rally at the Resch Center in Green Bay, the same venue where Republican rival Sen. John McCain rallied last week. Political experts said the visit proves how important the Green Bay area is in this election, since the area is filled with independent, working-class voters. Michelle Obama will be in Madison on Monday at the Women's Week of Action rally. Michelle Obama will appear at Camp Randall where...

CHICAGO - Democratic campaign officials say the wife of presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama will be coming to Pennsylvania this week. Officials say Michelle Obama will host a roundtable discussion with military spouses on Wednesday in Allentown. Later that afternoon, she is to attend a rally in Philadelphia. The Obama-Biden campaign says Jill Biden, wife of vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden, will also attend both events.

As Michelle Obama courted working women in battleground states last week by talking about the tough balancing acts in their lives, she was engaging in a balancing act of her own: Acting as a pointed critic of the Republican ticket while projecting an affable, ladylike (as in first lady) persona. This is no easy task. Working women with children — often called Wal-Mart moms and hockey moms these days — could become the decisive swing vote in November, Mrs. Obama noted. Yet the Obama campaign does not have a working woman in its political camp who enjoys the high profile...

Michelle Obama is now giving advice on how to vote in the presidential election. If the advice was based on the issues, that would be one thing. But her opinion is as hypocritical as they come (in the usual Obama style). Michelle Obama has asked voters to make their choice for president based on the issues, not because "I like that guy" or "She's cute." The "She's cute" comment is about Governor Sarah Palin. Michelle will tell you she made the comment about herself, but I don't believe her. It's obvious from the context of her comments that she was...

The “laaahd” will flow as Michelle Obama joins genteel food maven Paula Deen on an episode of “Paula’s Party,” Sept. 20 on the Food Network. On the show, “Grease is the Word,” the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate meets up with Deen “on the campaign trail” to make the TV chef’s famous fried shrimp and Creole french fries. According to the network’s press release: “Michelle gives Paula a taste of her family life on the road to the White House and shares fun facts, including the first meal she made for Barack, what kinds of local foods the family...

Just FYI for anyone who feels like watching. I'm DVRing it in case she says/does something vile. :) It's a show called "Paula's Party" with Paula Dean on Food Network. (Channel 110 on DishNetwork) Maury Povich and Connie Chung seem to be on now, I guess Michelle Obama will be on later.

Snopes referring to the Michelle Obama thesis.

It's a little early to play the race card, but the Obama partisans, if not Barack Obama himself, are scared. They don't know what else to do to get their expectations, so carefully nurtured over spring and summer, in line with reality. The mainstream media's ganging up on a pregnant 17-year-old girl didn't work. Neither did the candidate's calling her mother a pig. After Mr. Obama became the inevitable president, dispatching Hillary Clinton, the inevitable nominee, his cult thought it was going to be a downhill coast to a left turn into Pennsylvania Avenue. Alas, the slam dunk - the...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Michelle Obama asked voters Thursday to make their choice on the issues, not because, "I like that guy" or, "she's cute." Might she be talking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin? "I'm talking about me," she said with a smile. Barack Obama's wife, however, is not on the ticket in the presidential election. Palin is. Michelle Obama is part of a concerted effort involving her husband, his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to neutralize the appeal that Palin has brought to John McCain's ticket for some female voters. They are doing...

Michelle Obama says voters need to decide this election by examining the issues, not because they like a candidate or think ``she's cute.'' Obama spoke in Charlotte on Thursday morning at a women's round-table on economic issues. The crowd roared at her remark disparaging voters who might cast a ballot because of a woman's looks, a clear jab at Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin. Obama tried to clarify her remark with a smile, saying she was talking about herself.

** EXCERPT ** The powerful clay work shows Mrs Obama in the style of an African Queen, wearing large hooped earrings and an "afro pick" comb in her Egyptian-influenced hairstyle. An American flag is tattooed across her naked chest and the comb is decorated with pearls, the traditional garb of a First Lady, and an American Eagle. The work, by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards, is clearly a nod to both Mrs Obama's ethnic roots and her position at the heart of American culture and politics. As her husband, Barack Obama, battles to win the next US presidential elections, she has...

Jill Biden, wife of Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, will join Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, for a voter registration rally at the University of Virginia today. Obama and Biden will be the headliners of a Virginia Women for Obama voter registration rally. Obama’s campaign has emphasized new voter registrations of young people and black residents across Virg-inia. Joining Obama and Biden will be Lilly Led-better, an Alab-ama woman whose fight for equal pay was stymied by the U.S. Supreme Court. Ledbetter’s efforts inspired the introduction of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would...

She wasn't the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention, but millions of supporters noted her with keen interest on the first night in Denver. Michelle Obama delivered a remarkable speech that made the audience shed tears of joy, and gave a smile of hope with her firm support for her husband, Barack Obama. The leading lady of the first day of the convention, Obama tried to connect with the common American through her personal story. She shared her moments of pains and gains to let everyone know she was not different, but one of them. Throughout her speech, Michelle...

Rounding out the top 10 -- and making a campaign statement for fashion -- was Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, who was given high marks for a look that was "classic and confident." "She has a look. She works it with confidence, and she knows what looks good on her," said People's Style Editor Clarissa Cruz. But Obama played down the notion that her sense of style might be anything close to couture, telling People: "Some of my favorite summer dresses are from Gap and H&M."

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) _ Michelle Obama took a break recently from the campaign trail to get her hands messy breading shrimp as she helped prepare a deep-fried dinner with the Food Network's first lady of Southern cooking, Paula Deen. The wife of Democrat Barack Obama got cozy with Deen in the kitchen during a recent taping of the Savannah celebrity cook's TV show "Paula's Party," scheduled to air on the cable network Sept. 20. Michelle Obama and Deen swapped stories about their families' favorite meals as they cooked fried shrimp and french fries at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va.,...

Barack Obama’s surrogate for religious matters told a small Lynchburg gathering Tuesday that an Obama presidency would decrease the country’s “level of fear and division and loathing” that exists across religious, ethnic and cultural lines. Shaun Casey, the Democratic candidate’s evangelical outreach coordinator, also told about 15 people in a forum at the Starlight Café on Fifth Street that Obama’s policies would reduce the number of abortions in America. In addition, Casey said, Obama would give all religious groups, including Christians and Muslims, more access to policy making than any White House in history. “His administration will model the kind...
