It went through all 57 states. She can probably still take it on her next vacation

‘Riding’ the underground railroad...really?

High speed rail?

[molson209]

[throwback]

Sounds like a campaign leaving the rails. Must be getting material from the V.P.

If Obama had the election won he wouldn’t be resorting to this, this tells me they are scared to death that they are going to lose. They must have those internal polls which show many blacks will stay home

’Back when our great-grandparents were riding that Underground Railroad’

Obama’s great-grandparents were the slave owners chasing Michele’s great-grandparents.

[Dogbert41]

Funny, underground railroad taking slaves to freedom, while Obama’s great gran pappy was selling slaves!

[proudpapa]

FORWARD!?!????

[Terry Mross]

obama’s great grandparents weren’t “riding” an under ground railroad. There wasn’t one in Kenya.

And neither were most of the people she’s talking to. At 25 years per generation their great-great-great grandparents may have been riding it. Her great grandparents were probably born in the early 1900s.

Stanley Ann and Senior rode the Underground Railroad from Hawaii, Asia to some march in Selma, Alabama (one of the 57 states in the USA) where little Barry was conceived.

Chooooo....Chooooooooo...

... when John Lewis was marching across that bridge in Selma, and Jim Clyburn was sitting in an Orangeburg jail, ...We knew that to end slavery, we needed a proclamation from our President, an amendment to our Constitution. To end segregation, we needed the Supreme Court to overturn the lie of “separate but equal.” To reach the ballot box, ...

Dogs and firehoses at the bridge in Selma - provided by Democrats.

Orangeburg jail - probably operated by Democrats.

Presidential proclamation ending slavery - provided by a Republican.

"separate but equal" - implemented by Democrats.

Restricted access to ballot box - implemented by Democrats.

Revisionist history - propagated by the Ministry of Truth.

Lots of white folks took great risks to make that Underground Railroad a possibility.

[ZULU]

And our grandparents were playing conductor!

[workerbee]

Girl, lemme just tell you how I struggled!

Michelle’s oldest grandparent was born in 1909. The civil war ended in 1865.

Unlikely that any of her great-grandparents were ever slaves. Great-great-grandparents, probably. Great-grandparents, probably not.

Her great-great-grandparents and great-grandparents were probably Republicans and huge fans of Abraham Lincoln.

[chuckee]

What does Michelle know about the underground railroad. The only train she knows is the gravy train with that $300,000 patronage job in Chicago before she left for the White House.
