This woman makes more than $300,000 a year?! Huh?!

[Califreak]

In my neck of the woods it’s called a learning experience or a regrettable past incident.

But to the Democratic hopeful's wife, Michelle, it was an important "opportunity," long ignored by others, to lead the nation towards a critical dialogue on race, and bridging the entrenched gaps that divide the American people.

Killer's wife claims husband's acts gave the nation a valuable insight into life.

to lead the nation towards a critical dialogue on race

How can you call what would quickly become a one-sided rant every time it happened a "dialogue"???

[Argus]

She is a Diversity Outreach Coordinator. We all know how vital that job is.

I desperately need for these two overprivileged pains in the neck to go away and leave me alone.

[roaddog727]

Wow.

She’s delusional.

[ronnie raygun]

We have a far more serious problem with her and her attitude than with the community organizer who hopes to be President. She has issues and plans along with her husbands catastrophic plans to kill America. This will put the last nail in the coffin to a once great nation with the help of coarse of our lovely Democratic officials who have long awaited the begining of thier socialist Utopia.

"DUH!!! I could've done that at any time during the past 20 years in that racist church and I could've had a V-8!"

[geo40xyz]

Don't you dare question my call for a race dialog!!!

[kalee]

She is frightening and she makes Teresa Heinz Kerry look sane.

[pogo101]

No, Michelle. At best, it was an opportunity to respond to entirely justifiable outrage by voters across the land — AND Obama EVEN BLEW THAT opportunity.

To LEAD would have meant Obama either (a) never would have joined Wright’s church in the first place, or, at least, (b) would have left Wright’s flock long before 20 years had passed, and with them, countless thousands of dollars in Obama donations, Obama’s wedding pronounced by Wright himself, Obama’s daughters’ baptisms, etc., etc.

I guess Hitler should have called Mein Kampf an "opportunity to lead".

[mtbopfuyn]

Michelle, you go, girl!!!

Every time she opens her mouth, Hillary gains points.

[paudio]

And we thought Bill-Hillary two-in-one was the worse thing that could happen... If Obama win, be prepared for 2024 election... (after 8 years of Jeb Bush in between of the two Obamas).

[wtc911]

She’s right, it was an opportunity to lead. Problem is her hubby blew it.

[Spok]

“opportunity,” long ignored by others, to lead the nation towards a critical dialogue on race, and bridging the entrenched gaps that divide the American people.”

Lead the nation, perhaps, to declare that whites are the personification of evil and should be subjugated and stripped of all property, like they were in Zimbabwe.

[chiefqc]

Dumber than a lump of shi*

[Neoliberalnot]

This woman is a sickeningly hateful racist who obviously feeds on the race baiting hateful speech of an A#1 bigot masquerading as a man of the cloth.

Are you referring to Most Rev. Wright?
