And the SPAM posts continue. Does AOL get a cut, or why else do these not get deleted?

this is horrible and disgusting to me. it's been apparent to me that aol doesn't really have any respect for the president or his first lady since he started running for office. but thes horrible ideas show even more blatent disrespect. not impressed at all

Wow.....you mean to say that your editors just happened to pick out a "little something" for the First Lady for her birthday? I could only hope to wonder if the same graceious courtsey was ever extended to Laura Bush when she was the First Lady? "Oh well of course not!" ......that would be racist wouldn't it? I do hope the First Lady's birthday is a happy one......and I do hope that your "editors" will stop getting teary-eyed with all the anticipation of a lost, liberal sheep who just discovered their chosen "messiah" sheppard whenever the Obama's, (or for that matter, any other politician,) happens to enter the room. These people are not god's so can we at least try not to worship them as much as we do?

Her style leaves something to be desired. Her birthday wish? Lots of clothes and personal things.
My birthday wish? Peace in the world, jobs, good health, and happiness.

I admire the fashion of M. Obama. I equally admire her concern for academic progress for all children. I would be grateful if the public and M. Obama could use the Math Teaching Series whcih is written step-by-step for all students, parents and teachers to understand, to rescue a large number of students nationally, who contunue to struggle with their math homework or actually fail their own state's math test year after year. The Math Teaching Series is designed and written by an ex-senior engineer to be a complete self tutoring math texrbooks, supplemental math textbooks and private tutors 24/7 in every home in America. I respectfully and humbly invite the public and M. Obama to visit http:// www.mathteachingseries.com to copy the free Daily Report Card from the Math Teaching Series, which is designed to monitor both parental and student responsibilities daily for significant students progress. The USA is the 25th in the world and many innocent students are failing their math tests and this is the new significant national problem.

You gentlemen appear to be very, very, very AWM. I can only hope and pray your anger and bitterness towards someone who has done nothing to you does not fester into a debilitating disease because dis-ease comes from internal bitterness, hatred and anger.

John K, I was unemployed last year after being laid off my $80K job beginning in March 2009 all the way through December. My house was in foreclosure and I was depressed most of the time because I'm used to working and have been since I was 16 years of age. However, my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ helped me get through those painful days, weeks and months and I was able to collect unemployment insurance during this time as well. However, as you know, this little bit of money can hardly pay your bills, food, gas, mortgage, etc., etc., etc.

I also began doing a lot of volunteering at my local church just to help out and stop focusing so much on me and my problems and it got me out of the house.

I searched online everyday (sometimes 5 and 6 times a day) for a job in the IT field but then I just began to look for anything for any amount. But again, I kept my faith in the Lord and eventually He allowed my resume to be seen (although...later I found out that over 200 resumes had been sent in for this one job) and then allowed me to interview amongst a candidate pool of 12 other people.

So I'm not trying to preach to you but as long as I sat and blamed other people, I got nowhere. To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven and the longer I sat and blamed others, the longer I became bitter and angry.

Now to the other comments made about the "fruit" suggestion. I'm sorry to say but you are lashing out in the wrong direction. By suggesting this particular fruit "although" sublte, it's implications are primarily what is wrong with this country. Hatred and bigtotry only begat hatred and bigotry. How about using this very strong energy for something positive? I did with the help of the Lord Jesus Christ, I'm taking responsibilty for my own, prejuidices, hatred and instead of going the negative route, I now say, people are people, regardless of their skin color, religion, ethnicity, education backgroung (or lack thereof), income, etc., etc., etc.

Now I wake up with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. Why? Because I CHOOSE to do so. I choose to smile (even though things aren't great) they could be worse, I could have NO FOOD, NO HOME TO LIVE IN, NO CLEAN WATER to drink bath in, wash clothes, I could have NO CLOTHES, NO SHOES. I COULD BE AROUND SICKNESS AND DEATH AND DESPAIR, I COULD BE LIVING OUTSIDE WONDERING WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH NOTHING, I COULD LOOK AT MY CHILDREN (IF THEY'RE ALIVE) OR THEY COULD BE LYING IN MY ARMS DEAD, SICK, ILL WITH NO DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS IN SIGHT. BASICALLY, I COULD HAVE NOTHING!!!

But I do, and for that I'm grateful!!!

I will pray for you Patrick, John and Chuck that as God grants you another day on this earth, you will begin to know of His grace and Mercy...Because tomorrow (or today for that matter) is not promised to any of us...so let's spend it wisely and thankfully!!!

God Bless you all,

Sincerely,

Winnie

Can we do a count of articles AOL did on Laura Bush during the 8 yrs. Bush was in office vs. the articles they've done on Michelle (much less Obama) in the less than one year Obama has held the office? It's disgraceful. Plus I'm on overload.

Her color is torquoise, her designer is Michael Kors. Those are the only times Michelle gets it right, everything else is a gross lack of judgement on her part.

how about another "date night" which will cost the tax payers another million dollars. i wonder why the "presidnet" can use funds for his personal use but when the president of a company does so he pays out of his pocket. talk about waste fo tax payer money. this "president" is an outrageous in your face chicago politician. JOIN GRASSFIRE.ORG

how about send them to the country he was born in, maybe he would salute their flag. can't believe he is in charge of a military he doesnt respect.

I find it funny how out spoken people have become. When Bush decided to put our country at risk for his own gain no one had much too say. Oh, so you have guts now that Bush is out of office. Great timing people. Its always smart to attack the person trying to clean up someone else's mess (NOT). The mess that this country is in can not be solved overnight. Reality check everyone; it will take years. There was no proof that we ever reached the worst point of this economic crisis. We all just hoped we had and that things would start to turn around. Attacking people is not going to fix anything. For many of you out there, you are just exposing your true racist and ignorant views. No matter your cultural background, please keep your racist opions to yourself, if you cannot speak in a respectful and intelligent manner. People can do not control what the media decides to focus on. So, if it bothers you so much ignore it and focus on how you can help the problem not add drama to it.

u sound anti- american talking about the 1st lady of our country like that

Good post Winnie.

As far as what to give Michelle, StyleList, why not take the costs of that slinky dress and all those gift ideas and donate it to Haiti. God knows, they need anything they can get.

Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, I guess the inbred have been left to roam around their trailers and have made their way to a computer. I wonder what a Black woman with a law degree... umm from .... one of the world's most prestigious universities... ummm who happens to be married to the President of the United States... is thinking about this. Oh wait, she isn't. She has already proven... really.. just by being born .. that she is superior to any of you. Funny, isn't it. You people have used everything: colonialism, slavery, diseases, laws, segregations, imperialism, discrimination, poverty, drugs, hatred, technology, etc to secure an advantageous and domineering place in the world and STILL we stand! It is because Blacks have superior genetic make up. We are the original people. In EVERY facet of life where we were able to compete without barrier.. thrive without being brutalized.. existed without being tortured and lynched... denied access to... we out perform you! And listen to this, even with the barriers, WE STILL compete we still thrive. And mostly, we still have a spiritual connection and complete understanding that it benefits us nothing to allow our mere souls to be so tarnished with the fecal matter of hatred that so consumes some of you, many of whom probably did not even vote nor understand the US Presidential Election process. Now lil boys and girls, go get a dictionary so that you can understand what I just wrote and hope or even pray that one day you will possess an intellectual capacity that will actually one day help free heart from your ignorance. And even if you do not, Mrs. First Lady is STILL Mrs. First Lady! And I am sure she will have her breakfast without a thought of stooping down to think about you.
