From the moment Michelle Obama burst on to the national scene back in 2008, she inspired a level of right wing loathing only slightly less intense than that visited on her husband. Indeed, there have been times it has seemed as though they hated her even more. ...

Obama has been an exemplary first lady and is extremely popular with the public, having shown good humor and style throughout her tenure; so its been very difficult for the right to find anything to criticize.That hasnt stopped them, of course. There is nothing even remotely controversial about her work with military families, a constituency they feel belongs to them, so anything they might pounce on there is an unlikely target for GOP ire. But this mother of two daughters having the temerity to initiate a program to encourage kids to eat healthy foods and exercise has sent them into fits of hysteria.

Michelle Obama has endured an orgy of insults from the likes of Limbaugh and Palin. But her legacy will exceed anything those two have ever done. If, in spite of tremendous gridlock and partisan obstructionism, her efforts have helped to stall the epidemic of childhood obesity and educate the government and the public about the necessity of eating healthier and getting some exercise, then shes done more than 90 percent of the U.S. Congress to better the lives of the American people.

She has shown good humor and style throughout her tenure ... Rush Limbaugh was so wrong to call her fat ... and you right wing nuts should stop your hideous crusade right now!
P.S. There wasn't enough room in the headline box to add a barf alert.
What is this writer talking about?
What work with military families???
wow - I guess we hit a nerve there. Don’t remember anyone at Salon upset about the hideous attacks on Sarah Palin.
Baby go back!!!!!
is this the onion?
Difficult to find anything to criticize about the first “lady?” Are they kidding?
What about all the endless vacations for her, her mother, and her daughters at the tax payers expense? Imagine the media firestorm if a Republican first lady tried that crap.
And who died and made her the commissar of the school lunch program? What right does she have to dictate what school children eat for lunch, when Moochelle eats anything and everything she wants?
Michelle herself won’t hear anything about this discussion, she’ll be ‘real busy’ on her 2nd or 3rd pre-vacation vacation.
From the moment Sarah Palin burst on to the national scene back in 2008, she inspired a level of level wing loathing only slightly less intense than that visited on Adolph Hitler. Indeed, there have been times it has seemed as though they hated her even more.
ANYONE who says they aren’t proud of their own country UNTIL they land the cushiest gig in it is a slimeball.
There’s SO much more but just that example closes the case.
Well, I don’t remember ever hearing anything about “her work with military families,” but I know she’s always on vacation with a contingent of clingers-on.
Moochelle and Jill Biden did some commercials saying how much they care for military families.....but that was in 2012, an election year. After the election, no more commercials.
I loves me a good ‘Shellie thread!
Now to read some posts....
I know what you really wanted to say.
I love satire!
