In her new book, Chasing Light: Michelle Obama Through the Lens of a White House Photographer, former official White House photographer Amanda Lucidon shares 150 candid images of Mrs. Obama from her time as first lady. This selection of photos from the book highlights Lucidon's ability to capture intimate moments, as well as the first lady's impact on those around her. "Mrs. Obama enjoyed adding some fun to the mix," Lucidon writes of covering official events and meetings. "She loved to drop by and surprise people, in and out of the White House, which always made for great photos. I really admired the way the First Lady maintained such a serious role, yet she loved to laugh."

I don’t know anyone who knows her, but that characterization fits with my own observations.
The story that everyone has been told is that Michelle came from a very modest background and grew up on the south side of Chicago. What often isn’t talked about is that her father was a precinct captain and was tied to the black power structure in Chicago.
Who helped Michelle and her brother get Ivy League scholarships?
How did Michelle become acquainted with Jesse Jackson’s daughter, who was a bridesmaid in her wedding?
How did Michelle get the job with the City of Chicago? She apparently wasn’t cutting it at the law firm she was working for.
What strings were pulled to get her the fluff job at U of C Hospital?
And who engineered the relationship between Barack Obama and her? I have my doubts that it was a love match.
Curiously enough, both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump are the same height, 5'11".
“....Curiously enough, both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump are the same height, 5’11”.....”
That’s where the similarities depart. Moochie is a guy....named Michael. Melania is a 100% woman.
Curiously enough, I am taller than both of them and am quite familiar with the rudeness and worse that sometimes comes along with that.
Luckily for me, I had a very large and protective father who always told me to stand up straight. Good posture is quite an asset. So is being able to intimidate people when the circumstances call for it.
She apparently "married down," splicing with a man who was given every connection possible to more than make up for his background and actual abilities. Barack thus rather adroitly married into/befriended the existing black power structure (or the black component of the socialist side of Chicago's Democrat machine, if you will).
I know a (liberal but not violently so) family that was pleased - privately, of course - to have the Obamas move from Chicago to DC, though they would have been just as pleased if Michelle and Barack had moved to Peoria or Waxahatchie.
Michelle’s own personal farm on White House grounds! Now she is entitled to file for a Pigford settlement!
(I hope she included her Schedule F on that years taxes!)
I believe Michelle is a woman and that she birthed the two daughters. Otoh, the photo that looks anatomically questionable is not Photoshopped. I did some research on it. You can find—as indeed you did—images of MO in that same dress with nothing showing. But you cannot find an unphotoshopped pic of that exact pose that shows nothing. For whatever reason, when Michelle struck that particular pose, we got a look at more than we bargained for.
There is an image of Hillary in a pink outfit that appears to show incontinence. It took me ~1 minute to find the original, which shows zero sign of a stain. I.e.: *that* image is shopped.
Yesterday I found some Leftist sites that derided the idea that Michelle is sexually ambiguous. Not one of them—not a single one—claimed that the turquoise dress image is photoshopped. Trust me, if it were, that would have been their #1 talking point.
I don’t pretend to know what caused the strange shape in Michelle’s dress in that particular photo. I have seen a different image—a video—that raises even bigger questions. Again, I wouldn’t presume to know the answers. But something’s up; I can say that much with a fair degree of certitude.
Are you aware that there is a video of Obama referring to his wife multiple times as, “Michael,”? It’s not an urban legend; this video, like the other one I alluded to, is real.
Who knows the truth? Certainly not me. But to dismiss everything as a conspiracy theory/hoax doesn’t cover the facts either. There are more than two questionable images of Michelle. That’s way more than you can find of the average woman. Michelle and Obama—and probably Valerie Jarrett—know what’s going on. I’d imagine no one else does. But I offer these comments for what they’re worth. Fyi.
PS: You may have noticed that I asked the poster who proclaimed the turquoise dress image to be photoshopped to post an image of the un-shopped original. The reason it wasn’t posted is bc it doesn’t exist. That image, however odd and disconcerting, is real.
Again, for the record I believe Michelle is a lifelong female. But that doesn’t explain certain anomalies. As with so much related to the Obamas, there are legitimate questions. It’s not unreasonable to acknowledge this, as it happens to be the truth.
It does exist. Follow the link I posted.
I followed your link. It showed Michelle in the same dress. It did NOT show the same pose sans anomaly.
I’ve never seen that photo before. It’s singularly unflattering. But it’s not related to the disturbing video I alluded to. I’d prefer not to link to it. It’s one of those things you can’t unsee.
Yes. I realized that after I wrote it.
At least you don’t think that Michelle was born male.
If you are implying that she might be a pseudohermaphrodite, i think the odds of that being the case are slim.
I have to say, though, that I am not convinced that the Obamas have a traditional marriage. For all of their posted photos, I do not perceive any sense of sexual chemistry between the two of them. And I have looked at a lot of pictures.
Good lord,what a dreadful pic-——when was that taken?
.
There is no doubt in my mind that Michelle was born female and that she gave birth to the two daughters. Malia and Sasha strikingly resemble both parents; that kind of thing doesn’t happen genetically by chance. Adopted kids just don’t have that same family resemblance.
As to the marriage, it’s no doubt complex. Obama is a Malignant Narcissist. It’s impossible to have a normal or traditional marriage with such a person. An early biography by an extremely Obama-friendly author revealed that they came very close to divorce. Obama’s political rise appears to be the dynamic that held the marriage together.
Re the Michelle-related physical anomalies. If it were just that one photo it could be dismissed. But there are others. There must be an explanation. We just don’t know what it is.
She was speaking at an event.
No doubt you believe all those pics of Obunga that have been exposed as fake are all legitimate? Or someone photoshopped them to get at him?
