So Cindy McCain is talking BIG SHIT about Michelle Obama

Cindy McCain Presses Obama Patriotism Case

June 18, 2008 4:46 PM

ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Laura Bush may be ready to give Michelle Obama the benefit of the doubt when it comes to her patriotism but Cindy McCain may not.

"I don't know why she said what she said," Mrs. McCain explains in an interview with ABC News' Kate Snow airing on "Good Morning America" Thursday. "Everyone has their own experience. I don't know why she said what she said, all I know is that I have always been proud of my country."

McCain's comments reference remarks Obama made a Wisconsin rally during her husband's fight for the Democratic presidential nomination against Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

"For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of country not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change," Mrs. Obama told the Madison crowd, sparking outrage from conservative critics and fodder for an online ad produced by the Republican party in Tennessee.

If they want want to have a prospective First Lady cage match, lets have it. I got Michelle.

6. John and Cindy need to do more appearances together...
So they can bicker and get pissed at one another.

The more air-time given these two, alone or together, is all the better for Obama. Talk about your basic contrast and compare!

31. They do! And also, she needs to wear more makeup.
And her hair needs to be blonder. And her clothes more....Park Avenue matronly. And her fingernails need to be both longer and redder.

81. I second your call for "uber-patriot" Cindy to get more air time!

A spoiled, rich adultress who steals meds from the poor is JUST the kind of person that makes me PROUD to be a citizen of the US of A!

No doubt ordinary folk with lap up her Neiman-Marcus brand of national honor. What says "I'm in touch with the down-home values that make America great" more than having a Botoxed-to-the-point-of-frozen Stepford wife who cribs cookie recipes and has her own jet?

10. Cindy is just pissed because she knows her husband is a sellout and is making her kiss the man who
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 05:28 PM by ErinBerin84
smeared their family. Didn't she say recently in a magazine "Ohhh, as soon as I said that (the "I've always been proud of my country, I don't know if you just saw those words" comment) , I thought 'I just should have kept my mouth shut!" You don't get to play coy AND own your response, Cindy. I wish a reporter would ask her if she was proud of her country when they elected a man who's campaign said her daughter (adopted, but that doesn't make the difference obviously) was actually a prostitute's love child. I was laughing at the comment in the article above that she "would feel safe with her husband as president". That's almost as funny as when the campaign sent her to the morning shows last month to assure people that "You will not see negative campaigning from my husband's campaign."

13. Ms. Rodeo Queen, Husband Stealing, Drug Stealing, Beer Heiress needs some perspective
Obviously she can't understand what Michelle was trying to say. Anyone with a little perspective can figure it out. Of course growing up privileged gives Cindy WcCain a pass on how some Americans have had to struggle to survive.

Keep showing your ignorance Rodeo Queen.

Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 05:27 PM by GloriaSmith
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally ok with their level of stupid, but it's just so shocking that they're screwing up THIS badly. Attempting to pit Cindy against Michelle? Really? Can they not see how horrible this will end for them?

pssst, McCain people: SHE STOLE DRUGS FROM HER OWN DAMN CHARITY! You might, you know, not want to do anything that might give people a reason to point this out.

:wtf:

Seriously. I've seen high school student council campaigns more political savvy than this...and with better posters too.

58. Here's an interesting story on this, by the way:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/MICHELLE_OBAMA_THE_VIEW?SITE=MITRA&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Michelle Obama said Wednesday she was "touched" that first lady Laura Bush came to her defense after she was harshly criticized by Republicans for her February comment that for the first time in her adult life she was proud of the United States.

***

In an interview last week with ABC, Bush said, "I think she probably meant 'I'm more proud,' you know, is what she really meant." She said comments in a campaign are closely watched and can be misconstrued.

Michelle Obama told the women of ABC's "The View" that she sent Bush a note for her remarks.

"It took me a while to write it. It's like, how do I address her?" she said. "I said dear madam first lady."

59. Of course she doesn't 'understand'
I don't know why she said what she said," Mrs. McCain explains in an interview with ABC News' Kate Snow airing on "Good Morning America" Thursday. "Everyone has their own experience. I don't know why she said what she said, all I know is that I have always been proud of my country."


This white privileged woman could never possibly understand what a minority person who has to work for a living feels about the way the government has treated them for centuries.

She is perfect for the GOP. White, rich, never worked a day in her life, and had someone to bail her out of any problems she got into. She is part of the Bushit base: the "haves and have mores".

She is really stupid to take on Michelle Obama in any forum or on any subject. The best she could do is show the world how insulated and out of touch with the real world she really is.

61. Obama just stated he would never make Cindy Mccain a target in his campaign
but wouldn't you just love to see a debate between Michelle and Cindy baby...?

63. I always find it funny when ppl in glass mansions throw stones.....

Cindy McCain needs to sit her druggie ass down somewhere. I liked her when she didn't speak.

67. Cindy, I would shut up now...you seem to forget that YOU were the other woman...
and also someone needs to tell you, honey: you're not 25. Quit dressing like it.

68. I'm beginning to see why McSame called her a c***.

70. Why would anyone be surprised?
Cindy looks like your basic Central Casting candidate for a racist, homophobic, silver-spooned Repug country club marriage wrecker... with a tendency to drop pills and be drunk on martinis by noon.

75. Last time I checked Cindy McCain isn't Black in America....
She is a silver spooned, drug addict, recipe stealing elitest snob. Her family didn't have to take out loans to go to college...and certainly didn't have to pay the loans off while trying to build a life.

Cindy McCain same ole Republican Stepford wife.

84. "I have always been proud of my country...."
Yeah, being rich and white in America is a wonderful experience, isn't it? Why would she waste her beautiful mind, even for a moment, contemplating any other way of life?

Just another glaring example of the way the McCains are out of touch. It's the money, stupid, and the paleness.
