...Michelle, La Belle The "truths" Michelle Obama speaks are evolutionary and applicable to deep-rooted Americans [June 2]. My American family goes back to Captain John Steele in the Revolutionary War. Our immigrant ancestors came from Ireland, Germany, England, Scotland, Eastern Europe, Russia, Mexico and the Philippines. I happen to be a 76-year-old white male, and "for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country." When Michelle speaks, we hear her wakening the American Dream. John S.

This in turn can make room for some opponents of the treaty to put forward mischievous or erroneous issues which can only at best distract and at worst confuse. This has already materialised in that...
...Lisbon Treaty is ratified so that the European institutions become more streamlined and effective in the running of Europe. The changes which are being advocated in this treaty will lead in my opinion to the further democratization of Europe. I do not share the belief, however, that if Ireland should by way of referendum decide not to vote in favour of the treaty, thereby being the only country in the Union not to accept the treaty, that this is the end of the European experiment.
