Finding clues in Obama’s Senate record on justices <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/may/17/finding-clues-in-obamas-senate-record-on-justices/" target=_top>http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/may/17/findin g-clues-in-obamas-senate-record-on-justices/</a> <BR> <BR>Sounds like he wants a nominee like his wife, as I heard one previously discribe what he was looking for. Michelle is a Harvard graduate, any law against putting her in as a nominee???? <BR> <BR>Remember this about Michelle: <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Reactions to “Obama, Osama, O Mama!” <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama’s Militant Racism <BR> <BR>Background check- Mrs. Michelle Obama <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama, wife of Democrat front runner Barack Obama, shocked a lot of <BR>people over the weekend when she said this: 'For the first time in my adult <BR>lifetime I am proud of my country.' <BR> <BR>Wow! That takes my breath away. <BR> <BR>Mrs. Obama is 44 years old, so for over roughly 24 years of 'adulthood,' taking <BR>her at her word, she has never been proud of our nation. <BR> <BR>Is there a theme here? You may remember that last year Senator Obama said he <BR>refused to wear a flag lapel pin because it represented a 'substitute for true <BR>patriotism.' And what precisely is true patriotism? According to Senator Barack <BR>Hussein Obama, it is opposing the war in Iraq. <BR> <BR>Apparently nothing America did from 1982 to 2008 caused her heart to swell with <BR>pride. Not our successful effort to defeat Soviet communism and liberate <BR>millions of people in Eastern Europe? Not our relief efforts <BR>around the world, through which we spent billions to help the downtrodden? <BR> <BR>Not anything? When she learned with all the rest of us how her fellow citizens <BR>on United Flight 93 bravely fought back against jihadist <BR>hijackers and prevented another disaster on September 11th, did she not fill up <BR>with pride? As Americans of all races and classes rallied together in defense of <BR>our nation in the aftermath of September 11th, did <BR>her spirit not jump with love for her homeland? Apparently not. <BR> <BR>The Obamas are living examples of the American Dream. Both Michelle Obama and <BR>her husband have Ivy League degrees. They make a joint income of over One <BR>Million Dollars a year. They live lives that most ordinary Americans can only <BR>dream of. Yet, Mrs. Obama, who wants to be First Lady, has been unable to find <BR>the pride in America that millions of ordinary Americans feel every day. <BR> <BR>Sadly, her attitude is not rare among leftwing American elites. We are <BR>'educating' millions of Americans to be Globalists first and foremost, and we <BR>are doing precious little about educating our children to be proud and Unashamed <BR>Americans. <BR> <BR>The Obamas are flying high politically right now, but I don't believe many <BR>Americans will want to cast their votes this November for a couple so out of <BR>touch with traditional <BR>American values. <BR> <BR>'For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,' Michelle <BR>Obama.....'What she meant was, this is the first time that she's been proud of <BR>the politics of America,' Barack Obama <BR> <BR>HOWEVER, nowhere in there does she leave space for, allude to, or specify a <BR>reference to American politics. She's a Princeton and Harvard educated lawyer, <BR>and she can't specify between her country and its politics??? <BR> <BR>ALSO, 'Why Is Michelle Obama's Princeton Thesis *Restricted* until November <BR>5th'? <BR> <BR>1985 Princeton senior Thesis entitled: 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black <BR>Community,' <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>Princeton University Senior Theses Full Record <BR> <BR>TITLE: Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community [Restricted until <BR>November 5, 2008] (96 pages). <BR>AUTHOR: Michelle LaVaughn Robinson (1985), Sociology Department <BR>ADVISOR: Not available <BR>LOCATED AT: Mudd Library. <BR> <BR>Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama lamented that white professors and classmates <BR>always saw her as 'Black first and a student second.' She had surveyed alumni <BR>to see whether they sacrificed their commitment to other blacks on the altar of <BR>success, and foresaw for herself an uneasy future: 'further integration and/or <BR>assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant'... <BR> <BR>As Michelle Obama wrote in her thesis introduction, 'My experiences at Princeton <BR>has made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before. I have found that <BR>at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors <BR>and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong'... <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama was guided in her choice of thesis topic by a consuming concern <BR>that her success might compromise her black identity. As she wrote in her <BR>conclusion: 'I wondered whether or not my education at Princeton would affect my <BR>identification with the Black community. I hoped that these findings would help <BR>me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with Whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that Black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.'... <BR> <BR>Michelle Obama's fears of losing touch with her roots without ever being <BR>embraced into the mainstream led her to promise, in her thesis <BR>introduction, 'to actively utilize my resources to benefit the Black community.' <BR> <BR>Her thesis is the ONLY one on the 449-result long list *restricted until a <BR>specific date: November 5th*. What's the significance of November 5th? Well, <BR>it's a Wednesday. Oh, and it's the day after the General Election!!!!!! <BR><!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>Ok you say, they have been put in the White House, do you believe that under that First Lady exterior, hoeing in the garden, that she has changed, I DON"T THINK SO. <BR> <BR>Want some starter name, Judges who are JUST, and EMPATHIC to the Social surroundings as Obama wants: <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>United States courts of appeals judges <BR> <BR>Courts of AppealsUnited States courts of appeals judges whose names have been mentioned as possible nominees include: <BR> <BR>Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit <BR>Sonia Sotomayor (born 1954)[2][3][4][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] <BR>Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit <BR>Ann Claire Williams (born 1949)[14][30] <BR>Diane Pamela Wood (born 1950)[3][12][13][15][18][19][20][21][22][24][25][2 6][27][28][29][30] <BR>Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit <BR>M.

TTTHTFAL. Citizenship don't make you smart, do it Neal? One of our counties here in Missouri is the Meth capital of the US. Can't cure stupid, even with citizenship, even being born into it. <BR> <BR>You let your wife speak her mind or supress her too.

So her thoughts and comments have to be on a forum, before you discuss her ideas with her???

Bob, I will repeat my suggestion to you: <BR> <BR>Take a remedial Reading Comprehension course.

When did you get so hurt, that you have to mock people incessantly?? I feel pity for you as you use this technique. Was it your son's skiing accident, or some other event that has caused your bitterness.

Make a case for why I should not be taking the approach I do in your case.
