talk about misconstruing ones words

was burma not letting in more relief one of the MOST difficult things that has happened

i mean, i guess she did say one...

but.. oh well who cares she seems like a nice lady

I'd much rather hear from Laura Bush than her spouse.

I appreciate and give Laura Bush a lot of credit for being nonpartisan and giving praise to Hillary Clinton. I also think Laura Bush was very tactful and dimplomatic in the advice she offered to Michelle Obama. I think Laura has a good head on her shoulders and I think it is very revealing that it was laura Bush coming out to voice disapproval of how Burma was handling the aftermath of the cyclone. I believe Laura Bush is finally finding her voice, too. Women have so much good to contribute- if they would just find their voices.

Why not quote Michelle Obama correctly? Your link accurately quotes her as saying "For the first time in my adult life, I am REALLY proud of my country." That is a world of difference: your version implies she was never proud of her country before, the correct version is that she is very proud of her country now that its people were so acceptive of a black candidate. You help perpetuate a misleading impression of both the candidate and his wife.

Bho and his wife have demonstrated repeatedly that they do not share the main stream dems values. They can rally around the far left all right, but they have lost the middle class, what he called "less-educated bitter" voters who cling to guns and religion. His wife can become proud of America for the first time in her adult life; perhaps their Harvard education was a waste, to give them those feelings such that they can only cling to the hatreds preached by Wright for 20 years, of their adult lives.

It's very decent of Mrs. Bush to make those remarks, as it was of President Bush and Secretary Rice to congratulate Obama on his victory. Very decent indeed.

We all learn through the mistakes we make.

Michelle Obama has learnt something already. She is alert and cautious whenever she says something.

Samantha,

Who is the one spreading hate here?

Samantha...you'd better step back. Why would Obama want anything of Hillarys?She failed in her bid. And don't even start that part about stealing the nomination. She BLEW IT!!! He can admire someones military service without agreeing with his policy. HRC has also said she admires McCains service, so get your facts straight before you make a fool of yourself.

Thank you First Lady Laura!!!
I wish Glenda and Skinny had the sense and perception that you carried! I voted for your husband in 2000 but I'm on the OBAMA wagon now because YES WE CAN!!!

Samantha,
That's the beauty...it's still America and you can still say whatever you want to say....forget the people telling you to "step back" like it's West Side Story in here or something.
I don't agree with all you said, just your right to say it.
Primary season is over folks, chill with the attack dog mentality.

I like Laura Bush. She should have told Michelle to take the broom stick out of her behind.

Hillary did not fail. She was bull dozed first by the chauvinist media and then her own party rats. Obama won by default and is nothing but another Bush this time in blue clothing. Who wants another Bush. Rather be McCain if not Hillary.

boy...what a shame to see some of the comments below some full of hatred, meanness. If those who comment with such resentment would just look at the bigger picture, expand their perceptions, we might all live more peacefully. But alais...it's easier for people to hate than to love. Too bad for the foolish.

I admire Laura Bush. In her own way she is a very independent woman. I see it in her daughters. I think Hillary ought to admire her.

Mrs. Bush seems to be a classy lady, and if Senator Clinton helped her to find her voice, then that is just one more thing for the good. Senator Clinton has helped most of us women to be proud of ourselves, and to be believers that we can one day be respected as we deserve. As for Obama, the jury is still out. We don't know anything about him. He has carefully kept his background hidden. It is true we women will probably either vote for McCain or not vote at all. Some of us will vote for Obama if he puts Senator Clinton on his ticket. But all of us should be proud that at last we all found our voices as well. Now we know that we can put one of our own into the Presidency. One more thing, why is it that when 89 percent of African Americans voted for Obama, they were not racist (so we are told)and 65 percent of women who voted for Clinton are sexist? (so we are told) Just wondering.

BruhMan. Here my fellow blacks go again. "I know the thought of a black man becoming president is difficult to grasp"

Will you guys just STOP IT!!!! Statement like that actually weaken your cause.

Just because someone is not voting for Obama does not mean that they don't want a person of color in office. I am black. I did not vote for him. Most likely I won't in the general election either whether he chooses Hillary as VP or not. I don't think he is the right person for the job PERIOD. Her being on the ticket will not change that for me.

I know it is difficult for YOU to grasp but some people actually vote on the candidate's issues and factors outside of their race.

Actually, if FL and MI had been seated in FULL...there are less than 40 delegates between the two candidates.

Clinton still would have been behind, but it is a true reflection of the votes of the people!

I am proud of Senator Clinton, and I congratulate Obama.

Kathy, no one had an issue with Obama being the first black president - it's the hate and unpatriotism that he stands for that people have an issue with, along with the fact that he has no experience to lead this country. And, as skinnydog said: Obama is both black AND white - bi-racial.

Even before Iowa and a single vote had been cast, Drudge Report was running stories asking "Is Hillary finished?". After she bounced back in New Hampshire TV reporters were saying "Hillary just won't go away". The media wanted her out and sent up a daily barrage against her from the start until they got her farewell speech. Tom Brokaw is right - the media has to look at itself and ask exactly why Hillary was given this unprecedented treatment!! The media played a huge role in creating a wave for Obama and shutting down Hillary. Why?
