The first Lady was invited to give the Commencement Address at a college. During this speech, she made comments about Donald Trump. My question is having made these comments is she now fair game for Mr. Trump to comment on in return and even if she is, should he?

    Hello mminnick,
    Yes. If she doesn't like the heat, she should stay out of the kitchen.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    roger that, and we are just watching the noise until
    that happens -- more likely after HRC fails the Comey
    primary. -- j

    My opinion is that family members make themselves fair game if they comment first. They should be given the opportunity to stay out of a campaign if that is their choice. Trump has to respond to let her know he will comment when attacked by anyone, including her.

    I agree about his family. I think the Apple doesnt fall far from the tree. I decided right then during that cnn town hall that I wanted him as president. The crony establishment has geared up to defeat him, but I have one vote that I will cast for him based on what I think, not on what they tell me I should think

    He doesn't need to mention or acknowledge they exist they aren't going to vote for him anyway. when you marginalize them you put the skeer to them but don't quote me

    I am impressed with his whole family. . somehow,
    he has arrived in 2016 with some very fine people
    in his family -- and I tend to think that it's to his credit. -- j

    the Ds are bringing out all of their counter-Trump
    players, but DT should tread lightly on Mrs. Obama,
    since she has millions of ardent defenders. -- j

    If classiness is elegance of style, taste, and manner, many moochers are quite classy. That and creating some kind of alarm is how they mooch from the creators.

    Hello, Irshultis,
    As you point out, class is too thin to cover the essence of reality. If faked, it is obviously counterfeit.
    EDIT: added address.

    Good grief! I think that you know exactly what I was implying. You just want to be too clever by half. I'll say it again, Michelle Obama is a moocher, and MOOCHERS HAVE NO CLASS. Now being the sensitive snowflake that I am, I'm going to have to go to my safe space for awhile.

    Just like O=0, Mrs. O also = 0.
    But I wish she really was nonexistent, just like her hubby.
    That what should not be should bother anyone but a socialist moocher (like Moochelle).

    That means in 8 months 24 1/2 days she can take her nose and go make millions at book signings or getting investment advice from some chicken company? with inflation and all she might catch up to Hillary's one day record.

    My, my, do I detect a bit of an attempted lack of elegance of style, taste, and manner in your classlessness here!
    Classy people don't talk that way but want to be classy anyway. If she is truly a nothing, why does her nonexistence bother you?
    Sorry for the rant, but there seems to be a lot of such moniker building rather than specifying why someone is wrong or purely evil. Earning a fairly high salary being a negative for a person's classiness does not seem right.
    I do not like Michelle Obama mainly because she is a busybody in the personal lives of others. The rest of her life is hers to live.

    If you get involved in the political campaign, you're fair game. Making campaign political comments during a non-political event makes you fair game, regardless of the relationship to the political party or candidate.

    I am not sure I could define class, but I tend to know it when I see it ! Its not that common these days however.

    I would sayone element is a combination of being comfortable with yourself, and allowing others to be comfortable with themselves, even though you might disagree. it helps to be articulate and educated also, so you can express yourself easily and accurately

    Ivanka Trump has class. She was on a town hall thing with Anderson Cooper (who doesnt have class !!), and she was absolutely articulate and amazing. Three of us watched it, and all three people were just totally impressed with her.

    I'm not sure what "class" is. I always thought that if you obeyed the rules of etiquette and didn't spit on the floor or scratch in public you were classy. I realize that it is now more complicated than that.
    Now, the words that come out of a persons mouth seem to determine their class. By that definition, Mrs. Obama is totally classless.

    Absolutely agree! Moochelle Obama has no class except that she is a first class moocher. Her job as vice president with the University of Chicago Medical Center earned her well over $100,000 a year for doing almost nothing. But then, why not, she is a nothing.

    of course she is.
    if she decides to make political comments than she is fair game for anyone who wants to show how stupid she is. with respect to the current f/l she can't be bright, just look at her partner for life.
