So Now it's Michelle Obama They're Going After

Back in February, (almost exactly a month ago) Michelle Obama gave a speech, and made a statement about her pride in America. Personally, I don't understand what her speech writers were thinking when they wrote it, and what she was thinking when she read it; she might have meant it one way, but they should have known the the Republicans were going to make something totally different out of it, something that did not look good for Obama or the Democratic party. She chose to go ahead with it though, and sure enough, the Tennessee GOP now has her up on YouTube. I've seen the Republicans do some low things, but this has got to be right down there with the worst of the worst. (In my memory) Has this country gotten so bad, that this is considered acceptable behavior in the political arena now? Does this mean that family is fair game when it comes to attacking a candidate? What else is fair game? A candidate's children? Their senile old parents? We already know that his pastor and his wife are, so what else? And yet people still want to let a Republican into office!

I got an email forwarded to me form a so-called friend; it was a story listed verbatim from snopes.com. about immigrant refugees at retirement age being able to collect more money than Americans born and raised in this country! (The email story also had a Canadian version)

This is nothing but the game of politics at its lowest, and we need to recognize this. We need to stop jumping up in panic every time we hear something. Learn to check out these Internet stories that we find in our email everyday, and if you can't find it in there, just check it out in the news. You'll more than likely find it's not true, and who knows, while reading the news, you might actually learn something about current events!
