Obama should invite this guy Matt Harding on his trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, and Europe.

In just under a month, over six million viewers have seen the YouTube video, Dancing, a low-tech, yet colorful video of Matt Harding.
Any one of us could have been Matt, that is, if you're able to grin and flap your elbows and knees in front of a camera, but the difference is that Matt took the initiative to make it happen and created it in such a way so that people would enjoy it and tell their friends.

Recent attempts to portray her(Michelle Obama)as a re-booted version of Angela Davis is too silly for words. There a whole hell of a lot of people out there dumb enough to fall for it. That is what the Republicans are counting on. If you thought their swift-boating campaign of 2004 was reprehensible, as Al Jolson used to say, "You ain't seen nothin' yet". The racist tactics that they are already starting to use - the repeated use of Senator Obama's middle name, "Hussein"; the often stated lie that he is a madrassa-educated, fundamentalist Muslim; the veiled references to his race in order to frighten the less enlightened among us - are a mere prologue to what promises to be one of the dirtiest campaigns.

Maybe I am crazy,but I have this feeling that instead of focusing on the candidate's wives, we might focus on the candidates themselves. In the long run, Michelle's stand on global warming is irrelevant. Cindy's view on affirmative action won't mean a damned thing in the final analysis. They are not running for president. The tactic of focusing on Michelle Obama's so-called "un-Americanism" is meant only to distract you from the issues that matter - as was stories about Cindy McCain's former drug dependence. What matters is whether or not this country goes in a desperately needed new direction - not exaggerations and out-right lies about the women Barack Obama and John McCain chose to fall in love with and marry. Spreading false and malicious rumors about a candidate's wife is only the mark of political desperation and nothing more. Anyone who attempts to do so should be viewed with utter contempt.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.

The president's wife is a major concern - remember Bill and Hill?
Eleanore Roosevelt ran the nation for a time.
