H/T Sadly No's take down of Richard Cohen

“At the whitehouse those forces will be BigOil and the GOP.” I know they are happy to have you on the payroll.

Something tells me that Michelle Obama could have risen someone from the dead and you still would find fault with it.”

Actually, if she had stuck with her original personality, I'd have been fine with that. The thing is, she didn't. And that is alarming since one of the biggest worries even the far left will talk about with the Obama campaign is his/their seeming chameleon-like adapting to whichever way the wind blows.

I grew up around black women. They made up about half the population of schools I attended. One thing that I almost never saw in them was cowed or submissive behavior. In fact, one the things that really endeared them to me and vice versa is that they matter-of-factly called things as they saw them. A fresh and bracing approach to human interaction. I loved it. I love New Yorkers for the same reason. I'll meet a New Yorker and instantly I prefer their company to uptight people I usually encounter.

Seeing “Michelle O” acting…yes…ACTING..submissive and weepy was enough to raise up the chum from my stomach. Her hairstyle mimicing Jackie O's is ridiculous. As if. Michelle O is no Jackie O. And why should she even try to fool people with that? Obama is no Kennedy. He is no King Jr. He is an empty and waffling suit, and so is, apparently, his wife at this point.

Between the two I'd hoped at least she would've stayed with something tangible. It just shows how easily these two can be manipulated by outside forces. At the whitehouse those forces will be BigOil and the GOP.

And I can fight back, even if at times I prefer defusing things with humor instead.

DLS,

Why you seem to have a need to come across as a jerk is beyond me.

When you lighten up on the nasty you points come across better, even to those of us who seldom agree with you.

I look forward to Hillary kicking butt tonight. Regardless of what the PUMAs expect, I'm sure she'll be taking to McCain (after all, New York is watching). The theme of “Renewing America's Promise” offers many opportunities to explain the way in which this administration has failed and how McCain is a continuation of those policies. We shall see.

Those on the extreme left, well — they are distorted. This was similar to the dud show I heard earlier this afternoon (imagining an evil corporate right-wing conspiracy by television, especially FOX, to intentionally depict the audience as bored or disinterested during Michelle Obama's speech, which is complete nonsense; angry that what little criticism of the speech was about the need for some treatment of the issues rather than what the lefties on the show wanted, complete emphasis on touchy-feely personality heartwarming stuff). It is evenmore like what I've read before on proportional representation, by a “progressive” who puts the Democratic Party leadership slightly right of center and Reagan and Thatcher, predictably and ridiculously “far right” [sic].

Something tells me that Michelle Obama could have risen someone from the dead and you still would find fault with it. Is there anything, I mean anything, that you don't find fault with in the Obamas? I mean, I appreciate your energy and your willingness to defend your comments, but you just seem to come off as so negative all the time.

“This was only the first day of the convention!”

Well said DLS. If she saved the convention on the first night, then it's all downhill from here.
