@surgeon girl — I thought you had all these better things to do (like “operations”) than to comment on gossip blogs and yet here you are again, commenting on gossip blogs. i agree, stfu — not because I don’t have anything more substantial, persuasive, intelligent or introspective to say but because you’re really annoying.

@Karly — the fact that Michelle Obama DOES have degrees does make her smarter than Palin, the ex-”beauty” contestant. based on the things that Sarah Palin publicly talked about during the campaign, I’d contend that a rock is automatically smarter than Palin.

gag me with a spoon
I’m so tired of people thinking that just because she is married to Obama, has degrees, gave birth to children, and can speak automatically makes her smarter than Palin.

the reason people like “seriously” resort to phrases like stfu is b/c he/she has nothing more substantial, persuasive, intelligent or introspective to say…fact is “seriously” when you resort to telling people to stfu they’ve clearly won the argument and you have clearly not! so HA!

Huh. I think it’s interesting that people are talking about Michelle Obama running for president (already? WTF?) when she has absolutely no executive or legislative experience. She has two degrees; well, so do a lot of women, myself included. Does that mean I’m qualified for the Presidency? She’s a mother. Well, so are lots of people. I didn’t realize a uterus meant you were capable of running a country. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not debating Michelle Obama’s intelligence, but I think it’s ridiculous to call her amazing when she has accomplished nothing so far as First Lady. Perhaps judgment should be reserved until after her husband has been in the White House for a reasonable length of time? Also, telling people to STFU because they expressed a difference of opinion from yours (or Trent’s) is grossly immature and frankly pathetic. Like Trent, I believe it’s wonderful to discuss these issues – so let’s discuss them, rather than whining like shrews because we don’t all agree.

@JJ — a wax statue at Madam Tussaud’s is a far cry from a marble statue in the Smithsonian … and how immortal can a wax statue be after all? Regarding Sarah Palin, I would put Michelle Obama up against her any day, and ask them both questions about government and law (like what the job of the Vice President is, for example) to show who is the more capable person. It has nothing to do with liberalism and more to do with actual intelligence.

I think it’s a little early for anyone to be immortalizing Michelle Obama. And I think it’s interesting that she’s being praised as this amazing women for having 2 kids and 2 degrees and we’re talking about her running for President eventually while Sarah Palin had 5 kids, more executive experience than our current President but everyone kept saying what an idiot she is. Oh, well, I guess it’s only liberal women who are amazing for being able to juggle a career and family. And I think it’s interesting that you use Hillary Clinton as an example because if anything, she’s the worst example for feminism being that her whole career has been based off of riding on Bill Clinton coattails.

I’ll make it short:

Trent, I TOTALLY get your point! It would be awesome if Michelle would run for office in 2016 (if she wishes to do so)! She’s so well rounded, intelligent and she inspires people the same way Pres.Obama does.

@H and (especially) Surgeon girl: You’re just TOTALLY off. There’s nothing more to say to you that Trent hasn’t already said.

@H — I shall clarify what I meant by my comment … that I would love to see a woman like Michelle Obama follow in a woman like Hillary Clinton’s footsteps and run for public office if she so desires based on what I know of her intelligence. Call it whatever you like, I’ll call it my opinion which you don’t have to agree with … but how cool is that wax statue?!

oh dear neptune! none of us ever said we are more qualified to argue than anyone else- fact is, we are the ones who are! if you have an opinion, then please voice it! sorry – but i’m too busy operating on people to bother with politics (which i have never claimed to have any expertise in)…sorry girlfriend that you are so offended! good night – off to do homework with the kids!

So, intelligence and degrees makes you more qualified to argue on an internet gossip site…?

If your just as qualified as /her/, then run for politics!

Its the internet, nobody here’s impressed by your anonymous passive-aggressive bitching.

Just one last thing to say, and then I promise I will leave this discussion :)

what your doing is confusing the issue by blowing it off. you’re saying now should she want to run for office she should. That’s a good thought, everyone that wants to be a leader of the nation (assuming they qualify, don’t worry I never will) should be allowed to give it a shot. But you came off as if you were endorsing her. Saying you hope she does run is saying you can see her as a leader of this country, because you wouldn’t want to see her run and then lose. How is there any other way of looking at that statement about her running for presidency. She may be a great leader, I have no idea because she hasn’t done anything and the only evidence you have given is that she is educated and has a family. That sounds like blind loyalty.

@surgeon girl — I’m not angry, far from it … I’m actually glad we’re talking about Michelle Obama’s qualifications rather than her outfits :)

By: surgeon girl

surgeon girl — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:46:37 +0000

Trent – why so angry?! Is it offensive to you that smart women have something to say? I’m all for women doing well – God knows – but it only holds merit when it’s based on our own history and not that of our Man…it’s hard to be a feminist-man until you have lived with a woman who continues to fight the sexist struggles…. whatever – this argument is going nowhere…God Bless – I am a true proud American so whatever good things come their collective ways then “YAY!”

By: surgeon girl

surgeon girl — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:42:08 +0000

oh trent – it’s so easy to be dismissive when you don’t like what intelligent people have to say in response..
@H – i’m with you – hopefully Trent can reflect before he responds so defensively – sorry Trent -

@surgeon girl — oh, I understand why the public is facsicnated with her and I agree that no one “cared about her” before Barack Obama ran for office … but, to be fair, she’s never chased a life of public service (yet). I recall that many people never thought Hillary Clinton could or should run for president and she did so almost successfully. My point is that much like Hillary ran after Bill’s terms were finished, I would love to see Michelle run too, if she so desires. I doubt Hillary will ever run for pres again.

surgeon girl — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:39:13 +0000

Trent – God Bless You – you seem like a nice enough guy but let’s get real – you are hardly the barometer for all things important or political – understand that there are an awful lot of accomplished women out there who will take offense when you suggest that Michelle Obama is in any position to run for president in the future…please – stick to the idiotic celebrity info that we are all so enamored with (myself included) and nothing else….
can’t wait for your response!

@H — clearly, you’ve missed my point. ah well.

By: H

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:32:35 +0000

Trent – “where did I say that she or anyone deserves to be President? ”

“I hope she runs for President after Barack’s eight years are completed and her daughters head off to college”

So you hope she runs for presidency, but she doesn’t deserve it? I would hope you think she’d deserve it if you want her to run (and i assume win).
