Maya Angelou will introduce Michelle Obama today.
The noted poet will appear at a 3 p.m. rally at the Carolina Theatre in Greensboro to introduce the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate's wife.
A resident of Winston-Salem, Angelou was a supporter of Obama's primary opponent, Hillary Clinton. She hosted a "conversation" with Clinton at Wake Forest University and appeared in a TV ad for Clinton that aired in North Carolina.
She now backs Obama.
She never said she was not proud to be an American. Get over your Republican talking points. Jerk.
Miclelle Obama isn't even a candidate!! I find it hard to believe a real strong american would be willing to introduce this person as someone who would be beneficial to have representing our country. But I guess it is appropriate any DemoRat woman married to a presidential candidate to have some sort of say, especially one who up until a few months ago indicated she was NOT PROUD to be an American. She would turn her back when it came time to salute the flag or sing the Star Spangled banner or other hymn honoring flag and country. Isn't that what we want for a "First Lady"?? That is what the Democrats are trying to sell us and that is what is being put before by the Democrats. AND that is the choice of a wife that Barry Obama knowingly made for a wife?? Barry O chose someone who doesn't like us or the USA!! Hmmm?!? Who is he gonna pick as secretary of this and that if he gets elected will he pick some one who likes us and the USA. Will Angelou be glad she introduced Michelle and backed her husband then???

You mustn't expect much from some of these guys. Yes, the comment by ebetz does indicate that ebetz is not a thoughtful person, but more to the point, it suggests he a frightened person, so we have to try to summon pity instead of mere contempt. There are some folks (more than will show themselves out in the open)who are gnashing their teeth at the thought of an African American President and of an African American First Lady.
I think it will be one of the most beautiful sights in more than two hundred years of our history to see Michelle Obama holding the Bible as Barak Obama is sworn in as President.
