Cindy McCain would make a great First Lady

All the while Michelle Obama was shopping for a pair of $600 earrings.

2 much hagiology 4 me.

These are Michelle (my belle's) people aren't they. Where has she been? Oh right, sitting on her rear collecting big bucks as an advisor and hating this country.

[McGruff]

Fantastic story but whoever wrote the title makes it sound like a negative piece.

[originalbuckeye]

If this could just be reported on in the MSM. Alas, the only thing the MSM will tell you about Cindy is about her addiction to drugs, etc. They are completely invested in the Obama 2/4/1. Nothing good about the McCains and nothing bad about the Obamas.

[P-Marlowe]

All the while Michelle Obama was shopping for a pair of $600 earrings.

But Michelle and Obama were fearless "community organizers" in the dreaded South Side of Chicago.

[TexasCajun]

Big Media barely is covering Juan's campaign, they surely don't have time to tell America about the great work Cindy has done and continues to do.

...we might miss B.Hussein Obama hit a free-throw.

[manapua]

Yup. But this is one article to bump and forward.

Snark on: I'm pretty certain that the MSM will beat up Cindy McCain about the old prescription drug habit, meanwhile the fact that Obama was a pot and cocaine addict is not considered important.

[sauropod]

My assessment of her went up several dozen notches. I think she has more class than either Obama or her husband.

[ncfool]

The MSM made the title. I hope the GOP brings out at the convention some of the humanitarion things Cindy has done. She quietly is working to change the world.

Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama.

Class and crass.

[toddlintown]

Michelle Obama couldn't make it that week because the kids had ballet lessons and her Pilates instructor was running behind on his personal appointments.

[MARTIAL MONK]

In Phoenix, it was surprising how often we would run into these stories or hints of them. It wasn’t secret, it was just not spoken of. It was as if exposure would cheapen the the works and the reasons behind them.

"Cindy McCain would make a great First Lady"

I wish she was running for President instead of her husband.

[ladyjane]

The problem was not her prescription drug habit.

The problem was she stole pain killing medications out of charity boxes. Then she tried to destroy the person who reported her.

She would be a felon if her husband didn’t get it all covered up.

Even before reading this, Cindy has been the one thing I like best about John McCain. She is impressive and so classy. A true role model, the fact she overcame addiction only adds to her strength and grace.

When I went to a townhall meeting last week I was disappointed she wasn't present. I wanted to meet her more than her husband.

[apocalypto]

Nope, many women would not like to see the OTHER WOMAN in the White House. Also, there are the embezzlement, the drugs, the creepy look. This couple is too much like a gray version of Boris and Natasha.

"The problem was she stole pain killing medications out of charity boxes. Then she tried to destroy the person who reported her.

Have you ever lived with, or dealt with an addict? They do things that horrify even themselves. Actions taken while 'under the influence' do not make them a bad person, only a person who has lost control.

Cindy has overcome this addiction and should be applauded for doing so. Imagine if you were a recovering addict and everyday get your past actions thrown in your face on a national level. It takes a strong person to ignore that and not relapse. No wonder she stays out of the spot light as much as she does.
