The best, by her own standards, of course.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Fail.

[MayflowerMadam]

Epic fail.

[joshua c]

nope

not gonna happen

nope nope

dont even think about it

stop sticking your toe in the water

[PghBaldy]

She was not poor! What a phony.

[Tax-chick]

Aw, bless her heart.

[unixfox]

The phoniness continues.

[redangus]

I won’t argue with her premise of believing in yourself and not looking for outside validation. I spent way too much of my life living like that. The blind squirrel syndrome.

[ifinnegan]

They “other” people all the time.

At some point about 3-6 months after Obama took power, the image consultants of DC and the controlled US media got together to completely revamped Michelle’s image.

Gone was the angry, frumpy, and distant homosexual’s beard, and in came the stylish, chic, active and engaged mother and Presidential wife.

It was a very heavy paint PR job, but a lot of the old surface still was visible.

I can’t imagine watching this and the other programs of this nature Letterman has done in the last while without feeling the need to either tune away or risk throwing up after about two minutes max.

Moochelle had a bad teacher who wasn’t organized. Who hasn’t had a bad teacher?

[House Atreides]

Poor Big Mike… such a hard life he’s had. 🙀🙀

[null and void]

Killjoy.

I suppose any comments about the title of her book are out of bounds too.

[OttawaFreeper]

They basically made her into the black Jackie Kennedy.

[windsorknot]

The world has made me practice liking myself.

Hard to do when there’s not much to like about.

[ealgeone]

And yet...when we see the unrehearsed or controlled pictures there's the image of the angry black woman.....or just angry.

She never seems happy.

I imagine she wakes us everyday looking for something to be agrieved about.

[TomGuy]

She is still whining and moaning and doing here ‘po me’ routine.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that she had to walk 10 miles uphill through the rain to get to school and had to walk 20 miles uphill through the snow to get home. Po Tang.

[Allegra]

Any time I see an article about Michelle talking about something, it’s always her *whining* about how bad she’s had it and how evil Americans are, blah, blah, blah…

Give it a rest, Chewbacca.
