First Lady Responds to Palin Pokes
Michelle Obama defended her husband against some of his most vocal critics, saying President Obama did a "phenomenal" job this year and that change is a long-term process.
"I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course," Michelle Obama told Robin Roberts in an exclusive morning television interview on "Good Morning America." "That's what leadership is. But people have the right to criticize the President of the United States."
Michelle Obama's comments came in response to recent criticism from Sarah Palin who told TEA Party conventioneers in Nashville, Tenn., this weekend she wants to ask Obama supporters, "How is that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for you?"
"Rightfully, some people are frustrated, right?" Michelle Obama said. "But one of the things that Barack Obama said and continues to say is change isn't easy and it doesn't happen overnight. And it certainly doesn't happen in a year.
"It's not, he's not done yet. He's got more time," she said.

the only thing michelle is a barbie doll unlike laura bush who had a voice on education and teaching children all you hear about michelle is what extravagent gowns she wearing or her expensives clutch purses she carrying and for her to come out and try to speak on behalf of her husband is a joke. she just needs to go back to the WH and play barbie and stay out of the affairs of the W.H

I don't need no president who thinks the world is like a billion years old. He can keep his books and all his fancy college talk. I want a President who knows God's word & the earth is 6000 years old. Palin is my gal in 2012!

Oh no. Now we have to hear from BOTH of them? They are two socialists. I thought her thing now was fat kids? She is embarassing. I cannot forgive her awful comments about this country. And I think drug use is much more important than fat kids. All of a suddent this woman is being trotted out....argh!

I think the notes on her hand just shows she is a regular gal (Sarah P that is). I saw her talk once in Atlanta and she's plenty smart!

Hey, so what was Charles Dyer, aka "July4Patriot" and Oathkeeper leader arrested for? Hmmm?
HAVE ANY CONSERVATIVES NOTICED HOW LIBERALS LOVE TO DISH IT OUT---BUT JUST CAN'T TAKE IT.....PROOF OF INFERIOR STABILITY
PeoriaGuy
He actually said he wrote 'Hope & Change' on his hand '...so he wouldn't forget it." He is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. In trying to make a joke and/or slur Palin, he exposed himself by doing a 'hand-job' on himself and the entire Obama Administration/Reign. What a jackass.
CONSERVATIVES ARE BIRTHER TEABAGGERS
If "inferior stability" actually meant anything you psychopath.

Palin is a threat to the Obama administration. For all of you calling her dumb - she's dumb like a fox. She relates to the people and the people relate to her. That's huge. She has far more experience than Obama ever had and it shows. We need people like her in Washington. The presidency is a very hard job...just learning the ropes. Unfortunately for Obama he was the wrong people advising him and with his inexprience he's lost.

She's not my favorite first lady; but I give her credit for staying cool. If you are a woman who has ever been married to a man who has any kind of power (like an executive, a high government offical, a high-ranking military officer, etc.), you will understand what I mean.
Sticktothefacts
Michelle needs to stay out of it. She is the first Lady, not part of the government. Her interference is not becoming to a first Lady.

Anyone who salutes the flag the way she and Obama did and her comments about this nation has no class. Palin is not "crass" she is down to earth. You keep Michelle becaue no one else is interested in her;.

It really burns my biscuits to be referred to as racist and that for the GOP to be called the party of "NO". How about this: I, as well as other Republicans (and many independents and even some Dems), simply don't agree with any of Obama's soon-to-be-failed policies. He is not qualified to lead America. I'm proud of the legislators who are not afraid to stand up to him and tell him HELL NO!

your name says it all!! Any of his policies?? Didn't see you crying when that stimulus helped your area!! AND IT DID YA BEATCH

There must be a reason why the Republicans are replacing Democrats in state elections. And why a lot of democrats in the House and Senate are not planning on running again in 2010.

Millions of Americans, doing their small but significant part in the governance of our nation, are in the process of ending years of “Minority Rule” by the most liberal, humanistic, five percent of our population. Great job….keep it up….give God the Glory.
We must accept the facts a deal with them:
Must-See Video by Former Muslim & Black Pastor - Added 2/3/10
(1) There is a battle taking place around the world and it amounts to the SLAVERY of Islam vs. the Freedom of Christianity. The USA being the base and stronghold of Christian Freedom.
(2) Islam will not coexist in Christian America. Islam cannot accept our Constitution, our Rights, our Freedoms, including Freedom of Religion. If America falls, the world falls. And they know it.
(3) Obama is not a friend to Christians nor American traditions. He does not see the USA as deserving of world leadership.
(4) Obama is a Narcissist, a racist, a Socialist. He respects Dictators.
(5) As seen in his “State of the Union” - he loathes our Constitution and the Supreme Court. He has stated that in his own words in audio and video viewable at www.ameritianity.com.
(6) We are witnessing a setback for Socialism because “THE PEOPLE” have awakened
(7) The Role of Religion - Now we need to remove the Tax Threat from the IRS against ministers speaking the truth from the pulpit in the same way that the Supreme Court has said the Right to Free Speech does not stop a the front door of Corporations.
(8) Obama wants to control where the power lies in America. The power lies where the wealth is. He wants the POWER to lie in the Unions (now own 2 car companies) and the Federal Govt.
(9) Haiti - look where the AID is coming from, the CAPITALIST NATIONS
(10) Healthcare - WILL REMAIN PRIVATE
(11) Waterboarding & Freedom
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

Is Sarah the GOP version of Dean?
PeoriaGuy
There are several outstanding differences between Dean & Palin. Similarly they are, of course, both homo-erectus, caucasion and bi-ped. Palin the female version and Dean the male version. Very similar with sex being the main differential. The main or most outstanding difference between the two are simply: She is sane. He is insane.
