Justin Paulette is an attorney practicing international law in bella Italia. He hails from the great Buckeye State, "The Heart of it All," the only state with a bridge which you can cross and still be on the same side of the river, home of the hot dog, pop top soda can and the largest basket in the world! Though he's spent the past decade jet-setting across the Atlantic with one foot in London and the other on Capitol Hill, he still fancies himself a Mid-western, God-fearing, role-playing geek at heart.

Michelle Obama (L) awaits her husband Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Il) speech on race and politics. Loved ones often know us better than we know ourselves - and, unfortunately, often say things about us that we wouldn't say ourselves. I've devoted a couple posts (here and here) to Michelle Obama's speeches on behalf of her husband - and the growing evidence of Mrs. Obama's "spoiled, privileged, yet unsatisfied and ever-resentful temperament," which has produced views which are "not-so-subtly anti-American."

Mrs. Obama's most recent foray into the political wilderness is in response to the unexpected excitement caused by her husband's unfortunate condescension of bitter, gun-totting, Bible-thumpin' country bigots in Pennsylvania. Michelle, by way of defending her husband, imparted such gems of wisdom and revelation as:

We live in isolation, and because of that isolation we fear one another.

Because Barack Obama is the only person in this race who understands that. That before we can work on the problems we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.

Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual; uninvolved, uninformed.

Clinging to their guns and gods, their antipathy to people who aren't like them and free-trade, the uninvolved, uninformed, broken-souled xenophobes of the United States unknowingly yearn for a great awakening by their pastor-president, Barack Obama. Or so the Obamas seem to see it. I wonder how many Americans share their sentiment.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
