Giggle. All part of the PR package they are paying(or rather Oprah is)for.

“I'm not supposed to be standing here.” She says this at almost every campaign stop.

Translation: The United States is such an awful, racist country but I am defying the odds.

This is exemplary of what is totally wrong with the Obamas. Why couldn't she have instead said, "America is a great country, proof of that is me standing here today"? Oh yeah, because that isn't what she believes.

I didn't think a potential First Lady could be worse than Teresa Heinz Ketchup, but I think Michelle has grabbed that brass ring. At least I can say for Teresa that she wasn't brimming and bubbling over with raw anger and bitterness around the clock.

“You oppose Obama because if he gets elected, the black folk will get uppity? Uh... “

Not my relatives. They are all conservatives.

hey, she DID do research ... she surveyed African American Princeton alums and found they didn’t share her feelings. How cool is that ?

[Clock King]

This is going to be a very interesting time for all of us.

Then yall better Man Up and stop taking it.

“As the tall, poised black woman takes the stage in the vast indoor sports stadium”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shouldn’t that read, as the tall PISSED OFF black woman takes the stage?

Ebonics for Typical White Folks.

she says exactly what she thinks, when she thinks it

I read that as - "She has no tact or class."

I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her in Michelle Obama. She is the loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal fascism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to hide. Barack Obama is more practiced at keeping the mask up. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princeton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didn’t belong and she probably didn’t, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldn’t stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.
Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.
