These days, publications will do just about anything to be controversial and get more eyeballs and press coverage. And this time, a magazine called Fuera de Serie went a little politically incorrect. On the August cover of its publication, the first lady's face is superimposed on a famous painting that depicts a slave in a simple white headdress and gown, with a breast exposed. Did the magazine go too far?

NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports:
A Spanish magazine this month depicts Michelle Obama as a 19th Century French slave — a controversial move that has left critics wondering if the image choice was more provocative than political.

Really makes me a bit sad that so much has been put in print that is distasteful regarding this family. I have seen quite a few Presidents and their families come and go but can truthfully say since the dawn of the computer age there was not the hate and anger spewed that we have seen against President Bush and Obama. These gentlemen have been slammed. I agree neither has been a great leader but they both have tried and did their best. For that they have received more garbage on the net than we have heard or seen before. Tells us all the direction we are headed.

First of all, no one ever said she posed. Secondly, it's clearly a "drawing" (not a photo). What the hell is wrong with you anyway?

Christians hate? and I thought what Jesus taught was out love.

reply
y so se... to BlackSouth 2012/09/03 00:57:46

Didn't say I didn't love her, I just emphatically and with astute conviction dislike nearly everything about her and her husband.

And on said subject, I hate Rapists, I hate the murderer in Aurora Colorado, I hate David Letterman who somehow still thinks he's funny and I hate the show The Bachalor.

If Hate's to strong a word, I apologize I guess and refer to....Dislike at it's highest magnitude to the point of frowning at their mention.

I think you meant hate. Otherwise you would have used dislike. Just be honest. Think about it and be repentant. That is if you really are a Christian. Remember part of the whole of the Law is to love others as you love yourself. God Bless you.

Okay man, okay. Know what? I AM sorry, I am so sorry for not using the word dislike and using the word most of the population of our society use to describe the utmost aversion too. Lord knows, people don't say they "hate" broccoli unless they mean that they wish the most murderous terms of it.

I as a Christian apologize to you man. God bless you too.

I don't eat foods that I don't like. Have no reason to hate artichokes. Just don't like the taste of them in my mouth. However artichokes aren't people. Funny how it is Christians use this word frivolously. Especially against other people. You don't need to apologize to me. Who am I? I just gave my opinion. I am not here to judge you. That is for another to do.

Thank you I guess for reminding me then? God Bless you too....

So you hate him too right? I guess that's ok if you are not a Christian and share none of their beliefs. I am a Christian though and even though I don't agree with Romney that still doesn't call for me to hate him or even call him out of his name. and you still didn't answer my question.

OMG! Hello again!!!

No no no, I am indeed too a christian pal. Have been for a long long time. And again, I don't mean hate in the biblical sense of murderous and with every fiber of my being; no that hate's reserved for just the things Obama does and is doing but once again, lol, You caught me, I used the term hate in the vague and passing sense.

What was your question again sorry

That's correct. But you don't have to believe crooksandliars. That's basically a blog. Why don't you take a look for yourself.
These are the Senate Archives. I have only added from the beginning of his term of office until now.
110th Congress 139 cloture motions filed, Jan 04 2007 through Jan 02 2009
http://www.senate.gov/pagelay...

111th Congress 137 cloture motions filed, Jan 03 2009 through Dec 22 2010
http://www.senate.gov/pagelay...

112th Congress 104 cloture motions filed, Jan 05 2011 through Aug 03 2012 (still in progress)
http://www.senate.gov/pagelay...

Note, for example, that 2009-2010 filibusters are archived at http://www.senate.gov/pagelay... , where "111" stands for the 111th Congress.

That is going to be a lot of ammo for the debates that are going to be coming up.

Maybe this was a little too much to swallow like a raw artichoke. I may be wrong but since you didn't send one of your little funny pics I became concerned. Did you read all of that. I am sorry that none of that has none of the Fox News spin on it. HAHA Please excuse my feeble attempt at humor.

Sorry I had to sleep.

Anywho, so Climate Security Act, the Health care Bill, Don't ask don't tell repeal, Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors, Small Business Jobs and Credit Acts,
I can see why these weren't supported.

However the problems I see here are not the problems or issues I have with Obama in terms of blaming him for things

reply
BlackSouth to y so se... 2012/09/03 21:22:03

See you have a problem with him. There are four years of obstruction. Some obstruction I could live with I admit, but a lot of it I can't. Because when it comes down to it it's about American people and these people are playing with American lives and livelihood because they don't want this man in office. They have said as much.You know this as well as I, and my guess would be that all this will be brought to the table at the debates. I mean some media outlets are already talking about it. Congress and Senate ratings are low. I wonder why? it is all going to come out in the next couple of weeks. lets see how it will all play out.
