I’m not liking the constant comparisons of Palin to Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama I keep seeing. They’re not equivalent, and trying to make them seem so implies Palin is a token female intended to be stacked up against the other ladies.

Let’s not lose sight of the fact she is our CANDIDATE for veep, not the spouse of one, please.

True ---- but to ignore the unavoidable comparisons of the three woman and their route to public attention and their individual accomplishments as women is impossible.

On whichever level one wishes to make comparison --- Michelle Obama is clearly outclassed and playing in the wrong league...

The fawning media has gone overboard attempting to sell Michelle as the new Jackie "O"......while at the same time broadcasting all the filth the Leftists can dredge up or invent about Sarah or Cindy McCain....

In reality - Michelle wouldn't amount to more than a pimple on the ass of Jackie "O", Mrs. Palin or Mrs. McCain...

That is why we shall see less of Mrs. Obama..

I second that.

But, as for Mrs. Obama not being at a 9-11 memorial service, for any reason, is unsuitable. It is disrespectful. Especially for a person who attended a church for 20 years, that had a pastor that said that the attacks were justice for our terrorist actions.

It certainly looks as if Mrs. Obama agrees with Pastor Wright. Her husband is the one who publicly stated that he was done with the church. Michelle never did. She has never said that she disagrees with Rev. Wrights views on 9-11 or white people. She very obviously does agree with him. And she said as much by her absence on Thursday. There is no reason what so ever why she could not have flown out for the ceremony, and been home when the girls got home from school.
