^ it seems the concept of context continues to elude you.

and even when you take her quote out of context, how can you tie it to 'administrations'?

what are you on about?

anyway for those interested, here's what she was referring to....

Michelle Obama explains pride remark :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Barack Obama

Nothing Ray. Please put me on ignore to spare yourself of my ignorance.

Tell us more. We're all in awe of your singularly accomplished grasp of the political dynamics at work.

raycarey · 21-02-2008, 01:26 PM

so does that mean you don't want to explain how you've connected her comments to previous administrations?

Texpat · 21-02-2008, 01:51 PM

I don't have to explain to the other posters -- who all understand why she'd like to distance herself from those administrations listed. Why she would never admit being a proud American under those administrations -- I think it's quite obvious. Why do you require an explanation? Did you get to school today in a short yellow bus?

Could it be the parenthetical bits?

It might have something to do with the "cum laude honors", don't you think?

Erm, looks to me like her distractors are "racist", the offensive comments in this thread are just a small sample, me thinks...

Because he didn't read it in a paper, altho he wouldn't understand it then, but he would believe it. and another thing, you didn't supply a link..

Texpat · 21-02-2008, 03:43 PM

So terribly sorry. Forgive my original thought.

stroller · 21-02-2008, 04:12 PM

Original drivel is still drivel - sorry.

You took the quote out of context, and refuse to explain how you arrived at the peculiar statement you posted.

Easiest classes in uni; anyone who needed an extra credit took a soc class -- they could sleep thru and still ace it. Stupid enough to get a soc degree, and you never get a job (well, bus driver or Walmart greeter, maybe) unless you take a master's in something else. Psych and logic are better choices, IMO.

I took those as non-credit classes coz I already had a full course load in Asian studies.

He does bring hope, but I envision blacks taunting whites and a big gloating divide between the races if he wins. I think educated America is ready for Obama, but not ready for the racism it will bring overall -- a brother in the White House -- look at you now, Honky!
Hillary is too shrill, as someone pointed out.

In the end, Obama is to American politics what the Bee Gee's were to '70's pop music...

Boon Mee · 06-03-2008, 04:05 AM

This chick is crazier than a shit-house rat. Now she's saying America is just downright mean!

Like where do you want to live then your Highness?

^ Thanks for the link, Boonie. Alot of words, but not much content. The New Yorker is losing its touch.

she doesn't look so bad

Boon Mee · 06-03-2008, 06:56 PM

She actually makes the Hildebeast look good.

Like what's she got a beef with anyway?
Makes big bucks - sends her kids to private school.
Living the American Dream but it ain't good enough for her...

'Political analysis' like that is exactly why Americans suffered two terms of Dubbya. Truly some of the people got exactly what they deserved.

Can you imagine what people who admit they are racist sound like?

Barack, Michelle, hang on to your hats.
