    " You sure seem to be full of yourself. I, too, have lived all over America and New Iberia is not half as small-minded as some of the ultra-liberal areas of the U.S. They pretend, like fake Hollywood, to be accepting of all races and religions, but this is not the case. I have been a victim of their bigotry because of my ancestory. Your words are hypocritical about God and accepting others. You seem to have a problem accepting the "small-minded people of New Iberia." Do everyone here a favor and don't return. "

    Her speach made me sick wrote on Aug 28, 2008 5:12 PM:

    " To First Time, You are blinded by this person because she has persona. Her words give away her heart which is not that of a true American. I'm appalled that someone like them are allowed to run for a major power. They've disrespected our country with their words. Obama says that it's just words. Wars have been started by words. And there's much more I could say but the blinded people here wouldn't understand what I was talking about anyway. And those of you that are voting color, shame on you. It's not supposed to be about race. "

    " There is a first time for everything. I must say that I have been sick to my stomach over the last 8 years watching this great country fall apart. I can NOT believe someone voted and allowed Bush to stay and office another 4 years. He took innocent children away from their parents because he lied about weapons of mass destruction. How come we don't hear about the WMD anymore? What happenend to the reports? What did they find in Iraq? Nothing! I am sick of lies and I want change. Go Obama.. "

    " I don't expect anything positive out of New Iberia because the people of New Iberia is very small minded and they only see things in black and white. I was blessed to be able to travel and go places and meet good people. I moved away when I was 18 and now I am 27 and I have done well for myself. I earned everything I have and I respect all people from all backgrounds. People times are changing and we need to change as well. If you love God then you shall not judge others. "

    I love the OBAMAS wrote on Aug 28, 2008 12:53 PM:

    " People she is a mother, wife and daughter to someone so lets show her some respect. This women is very educated and she earned it! Let's not get mad and upset because she is the "hottest chick in the game" she knows her stuff bottom line...McCain wife is wealthy..Ok she owns her late father beer company that makes billions! The McCain's don't even know how many homes they have... Let's not forget at the very beginning McCain said he would NOT help home owners because its their fault they are losing their homes...People wake up "

    " I agree Michelle Obama is an intelligent woman. But, an intelligent woman would have made certain that her comment especially on the campaign trail, and especially about these United States of America- that her comment in that instant was delivered clearly, specifically and without any misunderstanding, twist or turn for that matter! Period! Her speech the other night was clear and matter of fact. That baloney about "she was taken wrong", is absurd. She is too intelligent not to mean what she says, and say what she means. She had no excuse there! "

    " I did watch the "Hillary Convention" last night. She was full of herself, and quite witty. Her strained smile said it all, each time she had to utter the words "elect Barack Obama as your next President". She did make all of those 'cracks' in the ceiling, but she also made a few cracks in the hearts of those Democrats who want only her as the next Pres. and not Obama. Some Democrats are stubborn which means votes for McCain. I also found it odd that Hillary didn't acknowledge Billy in her opening greeting! Strategy, perhaps? Hmmm. "

    " Michelle Obama spoke very well! The comment about her country was taken wrong so get over it. She is a very intelligent woman and it showed last night. "

    Now that you are exposed to what an education will enable a person to accomplish... don't be jealous, you could achieve the same if you'd spend half the time you seem to spend hating educating yourself. "

    " JoAnne, I hate to rain on your parade but you were introduced to the fake Michelle last night. The real one spoke on the trail. She's only proud now that she can taste the white house.

    I have a feeling tonight you will hear the real Hillary! "

    " I had the opportunity to hear the speech of Michelle Obama, she was outstanding. You can comment that she said what she had to say or you can accept her speech as words from her heart. We are so easy to judge others negatively. In my opinion some racist would rather go to destruction in a hand basket than see Barack Obama as the President of the United States of America. We are all Americans no matter our skin hue or social status. It is past time for us to see past our prejudices and unite for a better America "

    " I am a Republican, and last night I did get to watch a small amount of the Dem. convention which featured Michelle's brother's introduction and Michelle's speech. I found her to be real. She seem to speak from her heart, and again there seem to be nothing fake in her speech as she somewhat stayed in that familiar territory of their upbringing and what her father instilled in her, and wanting better for her children, for all children. Their daughters are adorable. I wish them well. Tonight we will be introduced to fake, Hillary Clinton. "

    " She said what she had to say! The comment "This is the first time I am truly proud of my country" is truly the real Michelle Obama. Everybody knows it. She can taste the white house and will say, dress, and do anything to get there. Get real. Do you the the American public is stupid. I'll bet you they are not. "
