She was several million in the hole when she backed out, but I really don't think she is out for the count.

I think she is biding her time until the convention.

Call me crazy, but why hasn't she given her delegates (or anything for that matter) to Obama yet?

Rather than pulling Michelle Obama behind a curtain, her husband’s campaign is pushing her farther out on stage.

In coming weeks, Michelle Obama will unveil a new speech, emphasizing her modest background and family ties.

She will visit the spouses of military personnel and talk of the country’s patriotic duty to provide these families with care and services.

Stephanie Cutter, who was Senator John Kerry’s communications director during his 2004 presidential bid, is being hired as her chief of staff, to oversee a rapid-response operation to deflect attacks on her.

“All she has to do is be likeable,” Sen. Claire McCaskill said.

I read earlier she was supposed to hold a joint apperance with Obama tomorrow and ask her supporters to support him...They all ought to tell her to Kiss it!

I just can’t imagine something that would be this (potentially) devastating to the Obama campaign not abounding on the Internet. Or, as some would suggest, it ain’t nothing … and not let it out there so it can be refuted. Are the Republicans in the inner circle the only ones to have a copy of this tape?

Notice how Obama never once says:

“My wife never said that.”

or in Michele Obama’s case:

“I never said that!”

Because they don’t HAVE to, and thus far, NEVER had to. He can do no wrong, say no wrong - invincible. The double standard is absolutely glaring!!!

“I would never doubt the devious plans of Hillary, though.”

For once in my life, I hope and pray that she has one that will succeed, regarding BHO.

you’re right, she’ll co-host, as Cindy McCain did awhile back. Cindy? very class act. Michelle - NOT so much.

‘Michelle Obama Watch has put up a Media Attack page that tracks media attacks on the Presidential candidate’s wife. Truly it is sickening that there even needs to be such a site, but you might as well bookmark it now, you’re going to be referencing it a whole lot between now and November.’ 6/18

As an avid student of American slang, I am curious to know the meaning, usage and etymology of the phrase “eat the football and take the sack”. Thanks.

In American football, the Quarterback (in this case, Obeymao) drops back to pass the football to whichever reciever he chooses. When questions of Obeymao's past associations with "undesirables" have come up, he's always "passed the football" off to someone else to take the blame, such as Wright, or his white granny, or Rezko...etc.

However...sometimes in football when the QB drops back to pass, he doesn't have enough time to find an open reciever to throw the ball to because the defenders are in his face, so he has to tuck the football and gets tackled for a loss of yardage rather than risking a throw that might be intercepted by the defense. In football parlance, this is known as a "sack."

The original slang meaning is that if the tape does exist, Obeymao isn't going to have anyone to throw the football to (or by another term, "throw under the bus"), so he will just have to deal with it (eat the football and take the sack), unless he decides to divorce his wife right before the election. lol.

As to angry Michelle saying no one knows anything about her, that's a total lie. We all know that she saw fit to raise her children in a blatantly racist, divisive, America hating psuedo-'christian' church, the same church that she and her prez candidate husband attended for 20 years before finding it necessary to leave behind, due to political expediency. We also know that her college "thesis" was poorly written and filled with all kinds of grievances against both black and whites. She was angry with her fellow blacks for not being as angry and "separatist" as she was, and was angry at whites because they're white. Yep, we know plenty enough about this angry witch, tape or no tape. Leave it to her marxist protectors in the MSM to not point out any of these things that we do know about her. No surprise there. MSM SOP when "interviewing" their marxist fellow travelers.

To me, the tape would be entertaining, especially to see how Obeymao and his worshippers would react, but irrelevant to the low opinion I already have of them. To those undecided voters, maybe it would finally open their eyes, since the info that's already out there is apparently too difficult for them to understand or seek out for themselves.

Yes, “trained” smile. They are trained to fool America, to assuage fears, and then take us where some of us don’t want to go.

well, isn’t THAT just a disgraceful, scary commentary on where we are as a country today. God help us, honestly - please.
