Sure he does! In Joe Scarborough's eyes,when you're a successful black man who showed them how to raise money, how to conduct a campaign, & how to act with class then you're uppidity! F**k Joe, with his jealous ass!
Joe needs to explain the dead girl found in his office!

Should Michelle do it, though? Is it overstepping?

Val,
How could she? How can a grown ass woman be mean to little innocent kids and refused them candy on Halloween? You know, I could whip some ass when it comes to someone mistreating kids. We all have our differences but leave the little ones alone. I can't take that sh%t!! I hope she doesn't have an hour of peace until she begs for forgiveness. I hope her neighbors run her out of the neighborhood. I hope whenever she eats candy, she'll break out in a rash with intense itching! lol

WOW I knew nothing about Lori Klausutis — now how does he end up with a TV show with this unexplained stuff in his past? also did not realize he quit congress amid rumors of cheating and ultimately a divorce. Something smells fishy here….

To be honest with you, I got weeping watching those pics. The one you highlighted got me, but also the 3 of the man in Times Square moved me as well. When I look at those pictures I know I am not crazy when I am moved by his words and the promise his campaign means to me.

I love seeing Obama with his family. There is so much love and affection there. Sasha is truly daddly's little girl. Both her and Malia light up when they see they're daddy. IT's adorable.

Suprk,
Whatcha go and do that for? It brought tears seeing the old man with his face in his hands crying! I can hardly type for the tears again…
Thank you, Suprk!

GreenLady, those medical records might tell that she didn't deliver a baby in March of this year…that baby Trig is really Bristol's child and not hers.
There's no other reason to keep the medical records sealed.
And John McCain has not put full disclosure of his medical records – the media only had 30 seconds to see them before they got snatched up and locked away.

Trig is really her GRANDSON.

I'm not saying Michelle should do it but if it were to be done it should
come from Michelle vs. Barrack.

CPL: Something is, OBVIOUSLY< goin' on! Hmmm!
It's DISCONCERTING that:
1. She “bounced” from the delivery room in 3 days to go “back to work!?” WHAT'S that about??? Annnnd, at 44 – that's still an “age” for concern.
I've neva heard of a doctor releasing someone from their care in 3 days!!
VERY SUSPICIOUS!!
2. WHO's “breastfeeding” the child in order to do some “bonding” [for a "special needs" child??] I'm sure that -with some exceptions- this would be a serious recommendation from a pediatrician!
3. WAS a DNA/paternity test done?? Normally, it's NOT – BUT – there were “allegations” [per the NE] of infidelity. Hmmm?
NOW, I really question IFFF Trig IS Down's Syndrome. His “karyotype would be PART of HER records! That would be the 1st thing that I would look for.
MR. OBAMA IS “PREACHING” ON CNN!!

Perhaps this is why such a large number of them haven't voted in Georgia.
But let me also say this:
There's a certain set of “brothers' that, no matter what Barack says or doesn't say, will not see Barack as one of them and will pretty much ignore him as “uppity.”
Yeah. I said that.
“Uppity” isn't just a smear used by white politicians.
Black male masculinity is a subject for its own blog.
