Supreme Court Nominees of Barack Obama

Finding clues in Obama’s Senate record on justices <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/may/17/finding-clues-in-obamas-senate-record-on-justices/" target=_top>http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/may/17/findin g-clues-in-obamas-senate-record-on-justices/</a> <BR> <BR>Sounds like he wants a nominee like his wife, as I heard one previously discribe what he was looking for. Michelle is a Harvard graduate, any law against putting her in as a nominee???? <BR> <BR>Remember this about Michelle:  <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Reactions to “Obama, Osama, O Mama!” <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama’s Militant Racism <BR> <BR>Background check- Mrs. Michelle Obama <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama, wife of Democrat front runner Barack Obama, shocked a lot of <BR>people over the weekend when she said this: &#39;For the first time in my adult <BR>lifetime I am proud of my country.&#39; <BR> <BR>Wow! That takes my breath away. <BR> <BR>Mrs. Obama is 44 years old, so for over roughly 24 years of &#39;adulthood,&#39; taking <BR>her at her word, she has never been proud of our nation. <BR> <BR>Is there a theme here? You may remember that last year Senator Obama said he <BR>refused to wear a flag lapel pin because it represented a &#39;substitute for true <BR>patriotism.&#39; And what precisely is true patriotism? According to Senator Barack <BR>Hussein Obama, it is opposing the war in Iraq. <BR> <BR>Apparently nothing America did from 1982 to 2008 caused her heart to swell with <BR>pride. Not our successful effort to defeat Soviet communism and liberate <BR>millions of people in Eastern Europe? Not our relief efforts <BR>around the world, through which we spent billions to help the downtrodden? <BR> <BR>Not anything? When she learned with all the rest of us how her fellow citizens <BR>on United Flight 93 bravely fought back against jihadist <BR>hijackers and prevented another disaster on September 11th, did she not fill up <BR>with pride? As Americans of all races and classes rallied together in defense of <BR>our nation in the aftermath of September 11th, did <BR>her spirit not jump with love for her homeland? Apparently not. <BR> <BR>The Obamas are living examples of the American Dream. Both Michelle Obama and <BR>her husband have Ivy League degrees. They make a joint income of over One <BR>Million Dollars a year. They live lives that most ordinary Americans can only <BR>dream of. Yet, Mrs. Obama, who wants to be First Lady, has been unable to find <BR>the pride in America that millions of ordinary Americans feel every day. <BR> <BR>Sadly, her attitude is not rare among leftwing American elites. We are <BR>&#39;educating&#39; millions of Americans to be Globalists first and foremost, and we <BR>are doing precious little about educating our children to be proud and Unashamed <BR>Americans. <BR> <BR>The Obamas are flying high politically right now, but I don&#39;t believe many <BR>Americans will want to cast their votes this November for a couple so out of <BR>touch with traditional <BR>American values. <BR> <BR>&#39;For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,&#39; Michelle <BR>Obama.....&#39;What she meant was, this is the first time that she&#39;s been proud of <BR>the politics of America,&#39; Barack Obama <BR> <BR>HOWEVER, nowhere in there does she leave space for, allude to, or specify a <BR>reference to American politics. She&#39;s a Princeton and Harvard educated lawyer, <BR>and she can&#39;t specify between her country and its politics??? <BR> <BR>ALSO, &#39;Why Is Michelle Obama&#39;s Princeton Thesis &#42;Restricted&#42; until November <BR>5th&#39;? <BR> <BR>1985 Princeton senior Thesis entitled: &#39;Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black <BR>Community,&#39; <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Princeton University Senior Theses Full Record <BR> <BR>TITLE: Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community [Restricted until <BR>November 5, 2008] &#40;96 pages&#41;. <BR>AUTHOR: Michelle LaVaughn Robinson &#40;1985&#41;, Sociology Department <BR>ADVISOR: Not available <BR>LOCATED AT: Mudd Library. <BR> <BR>Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama lamented that white professors and classmates <BR>always saw her as &#39;Black first and a student second.&#39; She had surveyed alumni <BR>to see whether they sacrificed their commitment to other blacks on the altar of <BR>success, and foresaw for herself an uneasy future: &#39;further integration and/or <BR>assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant&#39;... <BR> <BR>As Michelle Obama wrote in her thesis introduction, &#39;My experiences at Princeton <BR>has made me far more aware of my &#39;Blackness&#39; than ever before. I have found that <BR>at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors <BR>and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don&#39;t belong&#39;... <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama was guided in her choice of thesis topic by a consuming concern <BR>that her success might compromise her black identity. As she wrote in her <BR>conclusion: &#39;I wondered whether or not my education at Princeton would affect my <BR>identification with the Black community. I hoped that these findings would help <BR>me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with Whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that Black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.&#39;... <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama&#39;s fears of losing touch with her roots without ever being <BR>embraced into the mainstream led her to promise, in her thesis <BR>introduction, &#39;to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community.&#39; <BR> <BR>Her thesis is the ONLY one on the 449-result long list &#42;restricted until a <BR>specific date: November 5th&#42;. What&#39;s the significance of November 5th? Well, <BR>it&#39;s a Wednesday.

TTTHTFAL. Citizenship don&#39;t make you smart, do it Neal? One of our counties here in Missouri is the Meth capital of the US. Can&#39;t cure stupid, even with citizenship, even being born into it.  <BR> <BR>You let your wife speak her mind or supress her too.

Re: Supreme Court Nominees of Barack Obama

So her thoughts and comments have to be on a forum, before you discuss her ideas with her???

Re: Supreme Court Nominees of Barack Obama

When did you get so hurt, that you have to mock people incessantly?? I feel pity for you as you use this technique. Was it your son&#39;s skiing accident, or some other event that has caused your bitterness.
