As a friend of Michelle's family and fellow immigrant, I take offense to your bitter and resentful comments. Please stop and listen to your own words. Do you realize how hateful and prejudice you sound? Michelle is 100% American just like you, and regardless of where her family came from, they have worked long and hard (without excuses, without pity) to provide a better life for her and she was no fool, she seized the opportunity that was offered... I too watched my parents and grandparents worked, bled and cried, and I too seized my opportunity and graduated from Howard University with honors. So before you start telling immigrants to basically go back and work on their own country, you need to work on your negative attitude and realize that we are all in this struggle together, for better or for worse....regardless of race, creed and color.

Jon, I enjoyed reading your observations and I do hope that Democrats and liberals in general encourage effective and mutually beneficial changes within our society without seemingly destroying traditions and norms that have contributed to making us who we are as a nation. It's extremely difficult but I know we can do it. I challenge assumptions every single day and yes it's tiring but it's worth it. Once again, Jon thank you so much for your comment. Jon,

I'm addicted to MSNBC & feel you always make a thoughtful contribution to the discussion. I usually always agree with your points. Watching the Hardball show today (10/3), I couldn't help but notice your being run over by Mr. Matthews, as he had a dialogue with Mr. Cilliza. I know by your expression that you were aware of it too. I hope you have an opportunity to discuss this bad (on or off air) behavior, & hopefully reduce the liklihood of a reocurrance.
