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.

You have got that SO right!!!!!!
vomit
While I have always taken my mother's word for it, I will take that man's word as Gospel!
SHE WILL NEED LOTS MORE THAN A HARI DO TO BE ANYTHING LIKE JACKIEO.THIS WHINER WOULD NEED TO LEARN HOW TO BE GRACIOUS AND KEEP HER LIP SHUT.SHE CAN’T DO THAT..SHE IS A RABID, ANGRY WOMAN WHO THINKS THE WORLD OWES HER.
YOUR OBSERVATIONS ARE INTERESTING ABOUT JACKIE’S BEHIND THE SCENE BEHAVIOUR. THERE WERE STORIES ABOUT HER SPENDING ETC. BUT WHEN IT CAME TO EMBARASSING THE COUNTRY OR THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT AT LEAST SHE WAS SOMEWHAT CAREFUL. HOW ELSE COULD SHE HAVE BEEN SO ADMIRED AROUND THE WORLD AND HAVE OTHER HEADS OF STATE FALLING ALL OVER THEMSELVES FOR HER.
Is there a reason for you shouting at me?
What you said about your mom’s experience completely matches what this man said, too. She was the public Jackie O with those she thought were “on her level” and a nasty nightmare to those who she perceived as “below” her.
As Dave Barry says, “A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.”
sorry no didn’t mean to shout..was using my laptop and the print is so darn small and the keyboard is such i keep hitting the cap key..no...not shouting just a big ol oops on my part..
Me too!
We can do both. They’re both absolute poison and hopefully the McCain camp won’t pull any punches with these two a**holes.
I agree with Dave Barry!
No problem, I do understand.
There is no denying she was a class act in public, thus a true political spouse.
PHOTO CONTEST! Somebody put the nominated contestants’ photos side by side by side with Michelle. Let’s vote on it! I vote for Aunt Esther!
No comparison to Jacqueline Kennedy at all.
I can’t believe people are getting nostaligic over THK. LOL!

Yes indeed, Aunt Esther should replace all of MO pics on FR.
