Ann Romney: "I Don't Consider Myself Wealthy" (she could be your next first lady) /


Ann Romney says that being worth $200 million isn't considered wealthy-- okay, okay, okay, that's not really what she said, however it is the way it's being reported. I have to say that liberals have taken Ms. Romney's comments completely out of context. I believe it was a failed attempt to sound normal and un-rich--again, failed attempt. Do I feel sorry for the Romney campaign, for the beating that they're taking as a result of Ann's comment? Nope. Republicans did the same thing to Michelle Obama in 2008. Remember this comment?

Rapper Common Brings First Lady Under Fire! /

Conservative media outlets (Fox News) were in overdrive today as news broke that first lady Michelle Obama would be hosting rapper Common, along with several other poets, at the White House for a celebration of American poetry. Fox News called Common “vile” as headlines like “First Lady to host rapper who talks of killing cops, burning Bush” splashed across their website. A republican-run blog even posted an excerpt from the rapper’s popular poem, Letter to the Law:


It’s nice to see that the White House is reaching out to all facets of American society. What most people don’t acknowledge is—rap music is a major part of our pop culture. Whether we like it or not, rappers tell a story— the problem is, it may not always be the story that we want to hear. What do you all think?  Is First Lady “O” out of line? Leave us a comment.
