It\'s an anti-Obama site, but what\'s great about it is because the people there are only linked by their Obama hatred, the ideological alignment is all over the map.

They met at a PUMA conference in person, although they had corresponded for a long time, and she has run his blog for a while.  They work closely together.

I am a strong believer in when it is wrong- expose it and when it is right expose it.<br><br>If the first lady did say anything like that in the past, I think the context in which it was made must be included. Moreover they do say actions speak louder than words; has she acted it out?<br><br>Perhaps, it is time to make an audit of the reality of what the report was trying to imply. For the majority of people in the minority or of a different race or color the stories are endless and they are not pleasant stories. <br><br>I have often wondered if the opposition thrown at the President does not carry an underlining message but I try to dismiss it on the grounds that surely these people have put themselves forward on the grounds to serve and they should be more into an on-going education to do just that. I mean people in opposition.<br><br>I know their job is to oppose but please pick on policies, legislations that they feel will erode civil liberties and when they do they should try not to think about the monetary rewards (like the majority of people in the media do) think more in terms of the moral justification. <br><br>I feel it is time for us all as a society to start reaping dividends for credibility, innovation, excellent service (you know all those qualities that makes us truly great) rather than being taxed heavily for all that is negative and worthless underlining message but I often try to dismiss it on the grounds that surely these people have put themselves forward on the grounds to serve and they should be more into an on-going education to do just that.
