Re: I don't get this...

Well, don't feel bad, Abigail, the pundits have moved away from the whole plagiarism thing and jumped onto the "does Michele Obama hate America" bandwagon. For the love of God.

Blaming Hillary for this will commence in 3-2-1....


But no, seriously...they took a fairly innocuous comment and have blown it up into ridiculousness...The main stream media seems more and more like the Enquirer to me. All scandal and no news. I feel sorry for Michele Obama. It's just stupid.

I saw her comments and, frankly, thought they were a little oddly worded and I knew that they would result in big headlines. I doubt she meant them quite the way they're being played.

On a different matter: she's been absolutely excoriated recently by certain feminists because of her decision to scale back her professional life (essentially no longer working) to help her husband. Oh, come on!! Her husband is running for President! I hardly think that setting aside her own professional aspirations--probably for the short-term--to support him makes her an antiquated throwback to pre-feminism. This is the man she married and quite clearly adores and cherishes. Their marriage, by all accounts, appears to be a loving, genuine partnership. This is what loving partners do for each other. Geez.

Re: I don't get this...

Count me as another person who is :huh: about a politician repeating the words of another politician (who is, reportedly, a friend of said politician).

Now, if these were professors or scientists or even literature geeks I would "get" this. But, it's politicians! Who the heck cares?!?

I mean next we're going to get them all pointing fingers at each other for "stealing the idea" that each of them is "change" incarnate.

Just silly.
