Question

Is Michelle Obama a fair target for criticism from the press orthe Right?

Answer 1

Her statements are open to review the same as any public figure. I do not agree with personal attacks but negative reviews of her racist feelings is a responsibility of the people. This country has changed more in the last 70 years than could have ever been expected. Our morality has dropped and our willingness to stretch the truth has mushroomed out of control.

Answer 2

If she kept her opinions to herself ....like Laura Bush for example....she would be off-limits to the press.

On the other hand....since she is speaking at rallies and doing interviews, and opining on politics and how she was ashamed to be an American most of her life....

She's fair game for any journalist, talking head, or John McCain!

Answer 3

I think the attacks have become highly personal. If all they did was criticize her views, then I would be able to accept that. But when they start calling her "Obama's Baby Mama", then that is highly personal and it is racist. It reminds me of the time when Chelsea Clinton, who was 12 at the time and hardly a public figure herself, was called the White House Dog. Let's lay off the personal comments.
