I'm scared to death about our country and where its going to be headed! I figure anyone with the middle name of "Hussein" is related somehow and someone who wants to control and take away guns from the people of the US has "a plan" for an inside job! And now, there is nothing you can do about it. I new bumper sticker out which is perfect reads: Don't blame me, I voted for McCain/Palin!! I hope all who voted for Obama are happy! I'm scared to death about our country and where its going to be headed!

She is a woman of class and she does not forget her role as a mother and as a wife! Not everyone might like her and this is because no one has ever seen a Black First Lady before in the white house.

Gail needs to take a look in the mirror and face her own demons that have NOTHING to do with the Obamas.

What must be going through their minds the next day. I was so excited I could not sleep. I know alot of people couldn't ....to include the Obama family. This is an awesome time in American history. I feel like crying everytime I think about the miracle of this. Michelle must be so proud of her husband and the kids so proud of their dad. I wish nothing but blessings for this family. I know that Barack is going to be a wonderful president because I honestly believe he will have ALL peoples interest at heart regardless of race, political affiliations or sexual preferences. I feel so blessed to have lived to witness this moment in America. I believe that this gives everyone HOPE for a better tomorrow. I was wondering the same thing.

Your problem is you (hate) you might as well admit it, no matter what anyone say good about Michelle you will not like it. Please don't say that you are a Christian, because from your words you are hellbound I don't even think you know what class is. The silly comment that Cindy McCain has more class in her little finger then Michell will have the rest of her life sounds like a 2 year old. What do you say behind closed doors! This is for Gail again.

On the other hand, Cindy is quite the opposite, hardly ever interacts with the crowd, stand off, and hardly ever does the MaCains show any love or affection between them, somtimes just looking at Cindy she appears to be there only its a duty, but not because she wants to, I was really turned off by Cindy McCain who appears to look like the Stafford wife.

My daughter just called an said at her 18% black campus there has been radial aggression. As she walked to class the morning of the election she noticed a rope over a tree , but in denial and her mind occupied with voting for Mr. Obama she blew it off. Well today that was in the college newspaper "The Lariat, today a picture of the noose. Also there have been multiple incidences of white students yelling out racial epitates, Black male students being taunted into verbal battles outside of Penland hall. Yes , at Baylor university, Waco , Texas, a religious university based on christian principles and an enormous tuition. How I wonder can this be happening in 2008 after the election of such a great man. It is late so I have to wait until tomorrow to contact the school officials. I had to say to my daughter , what ever you do do not go out by yourself at night , like when we were younger and had to watch out for the clan. I just wonder if Texas a red state if all these large predominetly white institution are experiencing this same unruley behavior. She said to meMommy i cannot beleive some of the things I have read in facebook, and that this historic event is causing people to act this way.Mommy , I just wonder if they are trying to make the 18% of us to transfer out. All I could say was please make sure you walk wih others and don't go out at night.I am tonight a very frightened mother waiting until morning to make that call.

Obama's ability to inspire, not just many of us here in the US, but so many more around the world is simply remarkable. Michelle also symbolizes hope for so many women around the world that don't even have a tenth of the opportunity that women in the US have. This is just an amazing time.
