Michelle Obama's Law Firm Boss: She Was An Insufferable Complainer
http://www.patriotroom.com ^ | October 6, 2008 | Bill Dupray

No kidding? The Disgruntled One was also a whiny pain in the ass at her first law job?

Being Barney The Purple Dinosaur's lawyer might do it to you.

The group went out of its way to give Michelle work suited to her interests. When an opportunity came in to handle the budding public television career of Barney, the purple dinosaur poised to become a phenomenon among American children, Goldstein says he and others felt it had Michelle's name written all over it.

"Michelle had some smattering of public interest" experience, says Goldstein, who is now at the firm of Freeborn & Peters in Chicago, "and so we said, 'That's it: Public television, you're in on it.' "

The firm's task was to manage the trademark protection and distribution of Barney plush toys and other merchandise, Goldstein says, and to negotiate with public television stations that wanted to broadcast the show.

You will be shocked to know that the same endearing personality traits we have grown to love were also on full display at Sidley & Austin.

Quincy White, the partner who helped recruit Michelle and who headed the marketing group, remembers finding her a challenge to manage. White, who is now retired from the firm, says he gave her the most interesting work he could find, in part because he wanted to see her advance, but also because she seemed perennially dissatisfied.

She was, White recalls, "quite possibly the most ambitious associate that I've ever seen." She wanted significant responsibility right away and was not afraid to object if she wasn't getting what she felt she deserved, he says. . . .

[The work was] too monotonous for Michelle, who, White says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory.

It would be interesting to see in our White House TWO entitlement-minded perpetual “victim class” narcissists who think they need to save us from our eeevil selves

Maybe they can tell Achmadinejad if he nukes Israel he’s racist

I can just see our future. He wins, becomes Beloved Leader, declares that elections will no longer be necessary, and she starts collecting shoes.

Michelle, like her husband, has a sense of entitlement based on her educational resume. All of this nonsense that Obama turned down lucrative jobs to go into community organizing is a myth. Both Michelle and Obama are angry at the system and felt betrayed that they couldn't start out at the top. More than likely, they have a hard time competing against people who really earned their degrees and didn't received affirmative action preferences.

Michelle My Belle would have been an instant success on TV had someone made a remake of “Sanford & Son.” She was made to play Aunt Ester.

Michelle’s version of the Barney theme song

I love me,
You love me,
We’re a Marxist family,
with a great big tax,
and a glare from me to you,
you better say you love me TOO!

Actually, Barney is the terrorist at our house. This is what we used to sing:

I hate you, you hate me,

We're a dysfunctional family

With a shot gun Bang! Bang!, Barney's on the floor

No more purple dinosaur!

I am still looking for my real family, I know they are out there somewhere ; )

People like Michelle are everywhere. When they don’t measure up they blame racism.

Was overseeing a job applicant some years ago. She was a black women with a great resume. She began by filling out the application incorrectly. It was filled with spelling and grammatical errors. After a short interview it was clear she was not suited for the position.

When I gave her the news she said the company was racist and that was why she wasn’t hired.

I took great pleasure in telling her the owner of the company was African American and she could take it up with him.

End of conversation.

The endless excuses and blaming others for their own failures are getting boring! To say the least.

“It would be interesting to see in our White House TWO entitlement-minded perpetual “victim class” narcissists”
