I think you are making only superficial comparisons. Barack Obama's
church was not anti-American, it just had a leftist pastor who was
prone to criticism of the state. Criticism of the stat is legal in
America and not anti-American. John F. Kennedy didn't have the same
op****tunity, since he was Catholic (not evangelist). Barack Obama
never sold drugs on the street - that's a ridiculous claim.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis didn't hardly say a word when JFK was
campaigning; Michelle Obama is an outspoken woman, campaigning for her
husband more or less full time, who made a quote some Conservatives
are uncomforatable with, which you have distorted and taken out of
context, "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my
country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." She
only meant to share her elation at finally having a great president
again - in her husband.

25 of 42 presidents were lawyers. http://ask.yahoo.com/20010215.html
I don't mind if some people get rich. I'm good at getting over things,
I guess.
Have fun with this. I don't think there is anything more to say.
