Im not racist.. | 5:49 a.m. July 4, 2009
.. But our European Nato relationships are getting a bad rap .. and most Russians i know have nothing politically correct and non-racist to say about the obama's.
i don't know why but they use the "N" word every time when talking about our president, his wife and his children.

btw We need to do something to let Obama know we don't approve of all this spending.

Please give us news, not opinion. Michelle Obama glamor is not news, it is opinion. An opinion that many of us do not share. She loves herself and has hated our country. Not opinion, because she has stated such in the past.

Michelle Obama's not my favorite person, but I learned some interesting information about the role of women in Russia from this article. Russian women still have a long way to go, don't they? And though some may wish to discuss Michelle's clothing as trendy or classic, what rose to the top of this article was how women married to politicans are viewed in Russia. That is a bit of historical and social news that reflects what is going on in that part of the world. Readers, dig a little deeper when you peruse an article and you might actually learn something.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh Please, Michelle Obama brings her MJ white glove superstar glamor to Moscow by showing off some skin?, give me a break, she's nothing more then her Husband's doormat, not his Red Carpit. Will she tell them the Berlin Wall came down and the cold war is over with to?. Thought this was Hillary Clinton's job?.

Silly media. Where was this type of sycophantism during Bush. When the Bushies went on foriegn tours, did the media describe the first lady like this? No, Why not? Bias, Bias...

Hey KM, Laura Bush was a boring, from her dyed brown hair to her boring little pantsuits, she was indeed Marion the Librarian. LB stayed tucked away so she could be sure and get her cigarette smokes in each day. Yes, the woman smoke but like many other things the WH covered that up also.
Not racist? | 11:35 a.m. July 4, 2009
Our fellow reader wonders why Russians are recist. I'm not so sure they are, I haven't talked to enough Russians to consider it a legitimate survey but the racial cleansings that have gone on in many of the Soviet Union's former holdings would seem to show that racism is alive and entrenched in their culture. Can we claim we are not racist and support that with actions? Since the election the Obamas have preserved a "date night" for themselves, Michelle has planted a garden and invited school children in to learn about it, restored the White House Easter Egg Roll, both have attended their daughters school activities and teacher conferences. Looks like they are living the family values many of us claim to hold dear, yet Michelle has been a lightening rod for criticism. Our actions and virulent public comments show our values more than self-righteous claims of impartiallity.

The whiners are out. "She hates American." Fox told me so! Of course Fox lied about Bush and is the propaganda arm of the GOP. Remember you mantra. On the count of three....Fox is fair and balanced!"

It's conservative who hate America. Look at Utah. Conservatives are using this holiday to divide their community along political lines. They lacked the class or the manners to extent an invite to a democrat who represents people in Utah County.
It's conservatives whose greed caused our economy to collapse. It's Rush Limbaugh who wants America to fail.

The Russian public accepted Paul Robeson when he couldn't get a hotel room in his home country. We had a black American who was a great singer, spoke nine languages, was a football star and in America he was merely a uppity (n-word). In Russia Paul filled venues and he could sing in fluent Russian.

Michelle, you and your daughters are jewels. I thank your husband Obama for working to save our nation as it hangs by a thread as a result of conservatives worship of greed over their love of our country.

Sorry, but I can't have much faith in a comment which begins "I'm not a racist, but...."
RE: Anonymous | 12:14 p.m. | 12:03 a.m. July 5, 2009

So what you are saying is the WHITE liberal progressive democrats didn't accept Robeson either.

What did the democrat controlled congress do all those years for blacks?

what did all those great liberal progressive democrat presidents like Wilson and FDR do for blacks?


What the great demcrat presidend JFK do for blacks and civil rights?


And you have the gall to TRY and blame conservatives?


It is conservatives that are fighting for true freedom, true indepeedences, true liberty,

and against Federal Government oppression.

Perhaps you study true history and instead of breathing the toxic waste you are getting from warped internet sites and from radicals.

RE: Anonymous | 12:14 p.m. Gall?

Some progressive picked Paul Robeson to be to the 1932 version of Showboat. A Hollywood liberal? Then, it was Robeson who sung in support of the labor movement. Unions are conservative? It was a liberal East Coast school that give Paul Robeson a chance to attend college were southern universities refused to play football with a back player.

Conservative for liberty? That's a joke! lol.

Utah is the biggest nanny state in America. Last week was the first time adults could just walking into a bar. Conservatives favor the government stopping and searching people without probable cause?

Conservatives love the government monitoring private e-mails. They like police making questionable stops. That didn't argue the Supreme Court ruling you must show you ID when asked even if you have not committed a crime. This ruling, in effect, makes carrying an ID mandatory in the "land of the free."

Did conservatives say a thing, in Utah, when your UHP took money from a driver because he couldn't account for where each bill came from? Do Utah conservatives have a problem with police taking property before citizens are convicted?
RE: I do study history.. | 3:58 p.m. July 5, 2009
Again twist everything,

those bills mentioned werr passed in bipartisan effort BY DEMOCRATS as well,

but you do not blame them.

and you do NOT mention that any DEMOCRAT or Obama has tried overturning them.

Funny how you pick choose yout facts in the blame game.


NEVER even heard about the UHP story and since you didn't give all the details and facts needed for understanding, I can assume it is a made up story, and urban myth, or you avoid giving ALL the facts again to make some fraudulent point.
