this guy yet.

How obtuse do you have to be.. to ignorantly insult our First Lady Michelle Obama like this.. all for allegedly supporting his own candidate?

What's wrong with them?


Carolyn Kaster/Associated PressMichelle Obama, local celebrities and schoolchildren danced the “Interlude” at an event in Iowa to promote the first lady’s anti-obesity and healthy-eating campaign.

Toot, short for Hawaiian Tutu/Grandma, liked Michelle immediately because she was a common-sense, down to earth kind of girl. She knew.

All that and grace and elegance, too. We are all so lucky.

that this is a blog and not "they."
It's WE who must remember to be the better person.
It's a slight to a woman I adore. Shameful indeed and doubly so since the blogger writes such nice things about Mrs. O'Meara-Sanders.

Insulting John Lewis and Gabby Gifford was awfully damn stupid as well.

It was an absolutely ridiculous thing for that person to write and it should be condemned, but to say that's the viewpoint of a typical Sanders supporter is questionable at best.

I have more in common with (and much more respect for) Michelle Obama than I ever would with Jane Sanders (I have met both of them)

it will be near impossible to ever have a First Lady as wonderful as Michelle Obama
