Michelle & Barack Obama

[Caribeing]

Michelle Obama's speech endorsing her husband as the next US President was powerful and emotional! Are they the next JFK and Jackie! If he becomes President will they rename The White House The Black House!!

God help us if they bring that sort of politicking over here! I find the whole political scene in the US distasteful and shallow.

After listening to parts of her speech I felt she would make a better president than him. Straight to the point and gutsy...what people want to hear!

[funnygirl]

I liked her too!!

Way better than Hillary!!!

I don't know what it is but I just can't take to him.

I can't see any substance in him and just feel he's is far too much of an unknown to be running such a powerful country.

Nice to see that Chelsea Clinton has turned into a very attractive and confident young woman...especially seeing as how the US media used to take the mickey out of her.

Off topic, but wanted to add that.

I Personally think it was a load of american trollop. When his daughter said to the video image " I love you daddy"
Ugh pass the sick bag! It wont be long though until the UK adopts the asame format.

I agree frodsham, using kids to get votes is terrible, but that's the USA for you, plastic Barbie Dolls!!!!!

May I recommend a couple of books to read which gives an insight into how US politics works? One is Dude Where's My Country? by Michael Moore and another which I have just picked up again which is called The Passion of Molly T by Lawrence Sanders and while they may be works of fiction they are works by American authors and if they are not "true" in the aesthetic sense they do give a little glimpse into the cynicism employed by politicians in order to get a vote. I fear that I have now glimpsed some of those methods being employed by our own politicians so it's only a matter of time.....and as for using children in this equation isn't that abuse? Don't tell me that Obama's children have never said "I hate you daddy"!
