Does anyone else find Michelle rather Hillary-like in personality?
No, while they are both lefties, Michelle Obama strikes me as more 'genuine'.. in other words, she is sincere in her beliefs, albeit, sincerely wrong. Hilldog strikes me a just the opposite, completely insincere and just saying what keeps the donations rolling.
Interesting lady. She has been holding ‘women’s round tables’ in Wisconsin this last week, and thus has been on the 10 pm news almost every night. I watched her relate to the poor working mothers who were concerned about health care, schools, day care, etc. She told them she could feel their pain, that she and Barack had faced the same thing. In fact, she told them, her and Barack had just recently paid off their own student loans.
Now I know that she went to Princeton and Harvard, and that Barack went to Harvard law as well, and they are quite expensive. I was not sure if these two children of ‘working class’ parents got scholarships of any kind, but even if they did not, how could it take so long to pay off those loans?
Being the inquistive sort, I looked up their tax records and was astonished to see these ‘couple of the people’ who turned down lucrative Wall St jobs earned
Barack and Michelle Obama earned $991,296 in 2006

NOw with that kind of coin, how many damn student loans did they have? As like every thing else Obama, when you get into the details, all their fancy rhetoric kind of rings hollow. I think they are sort of like the minority “Bill and Hillary”, they use the same technics to make people believe they are ‘one of them’ in order to acheive their goal.
Absolutely.
I’ve been saying that for a while now. I see no difference whatsoever between her and Hillary, except for one thing - Hillary did not have the influence over her husband that Michelle does. When Bill was President, he basically kept Hillary in check. If Obama becomes President, Michelle will be calling ALL the shots.
By all accounts she is another ultra-lib 'B' on wheels, with a well developed streak of race resentment to boot.
But she is smart enough to keep it mostly under wraps now that Barack has been elevated to Sainthood.
She definately wears the drawers in the family but lets Barack pretend to be the man while on the campaign trail.
“Does anyone else find Michelle rather Hillary-like in personality?”
Yes, I do. I think that I have only seen one picture of her smiling. She always looks angry. One of those angry black women that think the world is gunning for them. Between that impression and the website of the church she goes to, I suspect that she is racist as well. I DO NOT want her as our First Lady.
No, I don’t. I like her. She’s smart, well spoken and pretty good looking. I can’t and won’t vote for her husband, but I kind of like him too, in a naive, friendly sort of way. :)
