Picking up on the media's meme that a vast right-wing hate machine is going at full-tilt against Michelle Obama, ABCNews.com wants readers to know that the Illinois senator's wife is "more Jackie O Than Teresa [Heinz Kerry]."
The story made the "top headlines" lineup for the afternoon of June 13, along with a headline tease for recent video from Fox News Channel where an onscreen graphic labeled the mother of two as Sen. Obama's "baby mama." Online slang lexicon urbandictionary.com defines a baby mama as "The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved."
The "Michelle Obama 2.0" article begins by regaling readers with a look at life in the Obama household as given by Barack and Michelle on a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio. The Illinois senator joked about his wife speaking more endearingly of him on the campaign trail than she does behind closed doors:
"She never says such nice things about me at home!" he smiles. "I really enjoy listening to her praise me like that because when I get home she'll remind me that I didn't make the bed."
The article then continued by contrasting the domestic bliss of the young Obamas with those mean ol' conservatives dead-set on stopping the presumptive Democratic nominee by gunning for Mrs. O.:
This is the Michelle Obama that the Obama campaign wants Americans to get to know -- not the "Mrs. Grievance" depicted with an angry scowl on the cover of the conservative National Review, or "His Bitter Half," as conservative columnist Michelle Malkin called her.

Or Whiney Mandela.
Well let’s play a short game, change her words to reflect whiteness and let her be a white wife of a white candidate talking about blacks ... Roll tape.
Sound racist to you, and it would to every drive-by media person on the planet and they would be talking about it for months non-stop until the candidate left the race, and then they would talk about it for three more months non-stop, just to make sure the candidate was dead and buried.
Racism is racism, call them like I see them.
Yes, I will agree that Jackie did exude class.......however, from stories related to me by my mother many years ago her “class” was for public show. Outside the public eye she was a Class A witch (with a b).
My mother was a showroom model for the couture house of Hattie Carnegie while JFK was in the Senate and the early part of his Presidential campaign. The Bouvier family were regular customers and extremely abusive of all the help, including the models and seamstresses. My mother absolutely hated to be the one to model for her.
here we go with this Camelot crap again! Remember when the Clinton’s first took office and they were supposed to be the reincarnation.
HEY MSM, YOU SAID HILLARY WAS JACKIE-O.
Now that is impressive.
Does she likes necklaces?
It is what it is. My coming along ended her modeling career and she never let me forget it.
But my point was not about me or my mother, just that while Michele Obama is not a reincarnation of Jackie - she was no prize herself.
She was! Just one 'minor' difference...
No question. I was sure your point was not about you or your mother. However, so many people here on FR have had interesting experiences.
I think she’s more like Kerry’s wife. A real loudmouth.
I've heard this also. My dad was a Marine in the 60's and knew someone who either was or had been a White House guard. This guy said she was a monster witch.
Oh pleeeeezzzzzzz....
I know I keep saying this, but Michelle scares me. She looks like she could lay a serious beat down on someone.
At least Teresa Heinz-Kerry was mildly entertaining. I would not want to be around when Michelle gets mad.
Osama Obama and Omarosa Obama
Of course "Mama T" called herself an "African American" and asked homosexual activists to call her "Mother Theresa."
That's Obamalot!
