Michelle Obama lacks diginity due to giving her husband "dap" and an excited response? The fact is, Michelle Obama is an intelligent and accomplished woman who has apparently not lost touch with social practices of her youth. Dap is perfectly normal and acceptable in the Black community - if it was unknown to others until that moment - high time they learned a little something about different cultural practices within the U.S.
Sure, "dap" is perfectly normal and acceptable in the Black Community but there is a time and place for everything. I can't recall the last time in a high level Job Interview an African American went "Booyah!" when offered the position.
Yes, It appeared to be highly undignified for a potential First Lady to do to her husband: Booyah Barack! Michelle, being is so intelligent and accomplished...needs to become a little more refined.
Regarding, the 'booyah', so what, lets examine the "dignity" and comportment of the other candidate spouses, shall we? Cindy McCain had(s) a drug problem and steals, and Bill Clinton, well there are several issues, but lets stick with whips his dick out at the slightest opportunity - I'll take the booyah.
Michelle's own husband had a drug problem. Obama seemingly maintains he still has his dignity after "searching to find himself" and
hard drug use as a young adult. President Clinton's infidelities? I guess John F. Kennedy's infidelities meant he had no dignity...Obama better run from that comparison he loves so much! What, with his own hard drug use and being compared to an undignified philanderer AND married to a woman who wants to be First Lady and goes around going "BooYah"...it doesn't make Obama look too good. :wink:
People learn to "know" their candidates through image, familiarity, an undefined public persona created by professional political communicators, and "tell me what I want to hear" sound-byte responses in media. That isn't knowing.
I don't agree with that...some may learn about candidates that way...and some people learn part of what they know about candidates that way. And some actually find out about candidates for President and don't let talking heads tell them what to think or a candidate's image machine delude them with rockstar personas or empty rhetoric of hope and change...some people actually look at four decades of work and service and think for themselves.
Obama is not, by your definition, "unknown", voters can use his state and federal senatorial experience to draw conclusions from his record and the perception his constituents have about the betterment of their lives.
By my definition Obama is unknown because he has a weak record and slim resume. Obama has not put in the work to instill trust in knowing what Obama can be trusted with, given power.
Unfortunately, they won't, rather, many prefer talking points regarding "fist bumps" and misinformation about his religion, over, say, FISA, which is much more important and a reason why I won't vote for him.
Oh no, FISA and Obama's many other flip flops has his own people staging an uproar...
the issues aren't being ignored. People will choose to vote for or not to vote for Obama because of the issues
and whether they believe in and trust the candidate.
