You can't be serious lady! Obama was put under a microscope during and after the campaign. Clinton and McCain threw all the nasty crap possible at him. You really need to watch the news once in awhile.
Where have you been for the last 18+ months? Sen. Obama and family have been slandered on an ongoing basis.
Accused from everything from being "secret" radical Muslims to anti-Amercan. Oh yes, and how often do we need to be reminded that he is bi-racial, raised in modest means, worked very hard to get where he is and has given back to and served any communities where and how he was able. Sen. Obama and his wife each worked very hard for what they have and can relate to average people and struggles of those less fortunate...they lived it and set a fine example and give hope to other people facing those same challenges.
They weren't born to upper income or wealth, didn't have opportunities just waiting to be handed to them or marry into (read "trading up") spouses who were presented the perfect Barbie/wife public image and came with the means to help bankroll their husbands need for more power and a lifestyle few of us can ever even imagine.
An opportunity to have a leader that knows the realities of daily life for the majority is golden. Someone, who while no one questions his heroism, uses his horrific was experience as his only means of relating is sad. To add insult to injury, he then grabs every chance to defame his opponent and question his motives....all the while displaying his fear of losing by pulling someone never mentioned and questionable on every level, based on gender. The DNC Convention really put fear into him and his first reaction was a clear and bad one. This is not a good sign of things to come should he win.— alexa n.
Actually, they are doing this to Obama's family. I have received dozens of e-mails concerning Michelle Obama and her politics, and educational background. One particularly nasty e-mail takes Michelle Obama's sr. dissertation, selects individual sentences and phrases completely out of context of course, and makes her into a racist, white-hating, threatening Black woman who is only concerned with American Blacks. The e-mail even goes on to point out "AND WE PAID FOR HER SCHOLARSHIP". It even cites Snopes.com to "prove" that it's true.
So yes, this is across the board, not just targeted at the Republican candidate.

Your comment makes me absolutely furious. Are you kidding? Are you blind or deaf? Were you not watching the painful process of Obama's vetting? Hello, Rev. Wright, is he a muslim or not etc. etc. He says he's a Christian man, so this this was fair game as far as I'm concerned. He opened the door as they say. Palin is little miss family values, so you better believe her family life is an open book from now on - and all 5 or 10 or however many frickin' kids she has. If she doesn't like it, then she better get out of politics, and fast! We have a short time to vet her so let the skeletons spill...all's fair in love and politics, right?
Have we not learned anything over the course of eight years. The GOP takes pictures of GWB, passing him as a cowboy who lives in Crawford, but no, the GOP doesn't tell you he was a millionaire playing little league ball.
We have a right to know everything that family does, because as a leader in that office they lead from the front, not the rear.
Being Governor of the biggest state, and the lowest per ca pita in the country doesn't work. Next thing you'll know my daughter and her friends will be pregnant because it's now acceptable. Life does happen, but the office is an institution which should be guarded against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Obama's kids aren't pregnant. Michelle gave up a high powered job to do what they love. Let's get real, and look beyond the fact that she's an under qualified woman, who the GOP will over on the public twice in my lifetime. The facts are she spent 10 months out of 24 being pregnant.
It is what it is.
Apparently you are a die hard republican that do not follow democrats' news. When the media fly all the way to Africa to investigate Obama's half brother and questions the town about Obama; Hawaii to investigate his half sister, when accused sharing the values of someone because you hung out when you where kids. Palin has it easy. Let her work it out as Obama did. And if Obama jumped from a bridge would you want Palin to do the same? Don't use Obama to sidetrack what you know to be right and should be answered. The questions are about her not him, he had his chance and survived can she?
