26pgs and counting...

Anyone would think it was Michelle and not Barrack Obama that was running for office. This sort of thing's a sad indictment on US politics I reckon.

Zero pages on New Zealand politics. That's a sadder indictment.

This is political entertainment Ant. She's not a candidate. Feel free to start a thread on New Zealand politics. I'd love to read your opinions about that.

Shake it off.

Well I can tell you now Tex that this sort of thing doesn't happen in NZ politics. So there you go, one more thing that you now know about NZ that you didn't before.

A quick comparison. The choice is up to you?

Helen Clark, PM New Zealand



or

Michelle Obama, First Lady USA

I don't mind the gorilla pic being removed. It was just a bit of fun. But in fairness, shouldn't the numerous monkey photos of GWB also be removed?

Or is the gorilla-Michelle Obama comparison only offensive because she's black? Or a woman?

^I think we can all agree the entire thread has devolved into little more than a degrading or belittling picture contest. Except for a handful of the 500 plus posts, seems there is not anything of significance to discuss about Michelle.

I thought that was established within the first page.
And I'll repeat: I did not start this thread.

^ That's an OK dress and more befitting of a wife of a nominee. But, crikes, she looks so hard all the time.

Michele Obama doesn't bother me a bit. I usually don't pay attention for First Wives (or first husbands). I never think about nor focus on Mrs. W. Bush. What is her firs name?

The current First Lady doesn't come out with inane statements like this:

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more." -- Michelle Obama

One of the most intelligent comments I've heard from a First Lady actually. But that ain't saying much.

Innane!? no this is innane...

Celebrity Deathmatch.

Michelle Obama Vs Condoleeza Rice.

Who's your money on? Come on who is the hardest black bitch on the block?

I think Michelle looks a bit of a wimp in comparison.

Sounds like higher taxes to me. Misery loves company, eh Sabang?

Health care: The indigent and unemployed get shitty free health care now. They'll get shitty free health care under the new plan. The only thing that will change is the poor will no longer feel shamed that they can't pay for it, and 200,000 new bureaucratic administrators will have jobs.

Education: Tax the wealthy, who send their children to good private schools, so the poor can send their children to the same schools. Then the wealthy move their children because the standards drop, followed by a tax increase so the poor can follow them. Add 50,000 administrators. Education should a function of individual states. America is too big and diverse to treat it as a national issue. It might be feasible if it were 1/2 the size. DOE should be comprised of about 50 top educators who issue guidelines. Nothing more.

I'm against the whole notion that everything should be made exactly equal for everybody.

You factor out ambition, drive, intellect, rewards, motivation and end up with a vanilla, piss-weak alternative where everyone is equally miserable. Satisfaction at last!
