Set aside all the nasty stereotypes of overbearing, angry black women. Michelle Obama has been praised on her elegance and charm, blah, blah. However, observers across the pond who didn’t receive the media batch of Obama-flavored Kool-Aid are looking at the First Lady with a more cautious eye.
On US radio’s Garrison show today, I was asked for my reaction as a true born Englishman to President Obama’s double insult - first the sending back of the Winston Churchill bust, then his snub to Gordon Brown. “Tough one.
What was the guy thinking? In researching my new book Welcome to Obamaland, I discovered that Obama’s judgment is pretty dreadful - but this? My favourite theory so far - suggested by presenter Greg Garrison - was that it was a move calculated to please his Lady Macbeth. At the moment in Britain, we’re still in the “Doesn’t she look fabulous in a designer frock” stage of understanding of Michelle Obama. Gradually, though, we’ll begin to realise that she is every bit the terrifying executive’s wife that Hillary Clinton was. Or, shudder, Cherie Blair.
I don’t know as much about the Cherie Blair legacy as I do Hillary, and if we’re to start those comparisons, get ready for some tax audits of high-profile conservative whose FBI files are already in the private residence.

“Set aside all the nasty stereotypes of overbearing, angry black women”
Absolutely. We don’t need that kind of thing.

Lady MacBeth? How about Queen Jezebel?
Mrs Obama showed her prejudices during her campaign speeches. It is no secret that she has a huge chip on her shoulder, even though she is a successful, Ivy League-educated rich American.
Mr Obama’s sympathies lie with Kenya rather than the United Kingdom. It is not surprising that he has no feeling of close relationship with our “closest ally.” He just never addressed this facet of his own background during his campaign speeches, and no one in our ‘media’ asked him how he ‘felt’ about his relationship to his roots in Kenya.
Now the world has seen a bit of the veil lifted.
Not having a joint Press Conference with Prime Minister Gordon is even more illustrative of Obama’s inadequacy as our Chief Executive.
It is no secret that she has a huge chip on her shoulder
Or a wad of Skoal under her lower lip.
If you mean Michelle Malkin, why yes she is.
Was 'Lady Macbeth' behind Barack Obama's snub of Gordon Brown?
I never hear anyone asking to set aside sterotypes of white women.
What the heck is up with that? Have they started already? Clinton v 2.0.
Ignorance . It’s the only answer.
But let’s not blame it all on Obama, his White House staff is equally ignorant. They should have advised him.
Maybe they did and his arrogance wouldnt allow him to take good advice.
Anyway it’s done he made an ass of himself and showed his ignorance. Hope brown enjoys the old videos, Maybe Bracko should have gotten him a subscription to Turner Classic Movies instead.
100% CORRECT!
Can you imagine the kind of treatment a Conservative PM would have received from these two?
She was probably the vicitm of the revisionist book on Churchill that recently was awarded the Coogler
Or Eva Peron.
I Like The Way You Think !
Ten miles of bad road.
