Michelle Is Pretty?

Am I the only person (in general) or person of color (in particular) who doesn't think that Mrs. Obama is pretty? Accomplished? Yes. Mrs. Obama is a graduate of Princeton University (cum laude) and Harvard Law.

IMO- Mrs. Obama (like P Diddy) looks like she has too many teeth in her mouth. I might call her beautiful ... but not pretty.

I'm often consoled that calling myself "uglyblackjohn" doesn't suit me well.

I'm not ugly.

I'm not good looking either.

I just look like I'm good looking.

The name was given to me by a couple of friends of mine; "T.O.D." and "Gidget". T.O.D. liked a girlfriend that I had at the time and wondered why she would date such a mean and ugly black guy.

Gidget and I didn't get along at one time and she told our friend "Turtle" that she didn't care what a mean and ugly guy thought about her.

I also have a good friend named "Ugly" (a really hot girl whose real name is Cindy) and another called "Homely" (whose real name is Rene' and is also really hot). They're just names between friends.

Vanessa Williams is Pretty. Oh... too European (read: white) looking. Maybe not the best example of classic African beauty but damn...

How about Roshomba Williams? Is this Ms Williams ethnic enough for you? Oh she's too young and not a good example of an older and more

professional image of beauty?

How about the classic African beauty...Iman!

How about former beauty pageant runner-up and Republican Vice-Presidential nominee (Alaska Governor) Sarah Palin? Yeah... she's pretty.

With a degree from the University of Idaho and past stints as a city council member (1992-'96) and mayor (1992-'96) and as the current Governor of Alaska - what was John McCain thinking? She is prettier than Hillary but nowhere near as qualified. Her (short) record of political reform is no reason to give her the "affirmative action" (women are the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action programs) nod over several more qualified candidates.

Most Hillary supporters were voting for Hillary the candidate not Hillary the woman.

Is McCain so out of touch that he thinks that adding a prospect with "movie star" qualities is as important as adding a candidate with proven leadership qualities?

This move seems desperate.

This move seems naive.

In the end, this move will seem foolish.

Someone once said; "It is better to be than to seem". I guess the Republicans didn't get the memo.

For the next two months we'll hear all of the "valid" reasons for Mr. McCain's choice. Republican pundits will wax poetic about the need for change and progress. Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and all of the other lemmings will tell us how wise and forward thinking McCain is. Bill O'Reily will probably be the only national commentator to fill the role of the mythological "Cassandra" in this election cycle.

Isn't progress a Democrat Party philosophy?

If we want Democrat's ideologies - why not just vote Democrat?

I guess George W. Bush is a genius! He and his Illuminati , Skull and Bones, and New World Order brethren must have known that if Bush messed our county up bad(ly) enough, we would progress to the point of electing either the first African-American President or the first female Vice-President.

George W. Bush (like Wile E. Coyote) ... super-genius...
