After Attacks, Michelle Obama Looks for a New Introduction

I thought “Obama’s baby mama” was a Michelle Obama quote from her speech noting his Senate victory. If this is so, this article is lacking in fairness.

[Rummyfan]

Her problems seemed hard to imagine last fall and winter. Mrs. Obama, a Harvard-trained lawyer, appeared so at ease with the tactile business of campaigning and drew praise for humanizing, often with humor, a husband who could seem elusive.

But then she started talking....

[Principled]

Christopher Hitchens, a Slate columnist, claimed — with scant evidence — that her college thesis proved she was once influenced by black separatism.

No bias there.

Evidence? We'll just denigrate and minimize it - that way we can ignore it!

much of his candidacy has seemed almost post-racial

That's all his candidacy is about.

“All she has to do is be likable,” Mrs. McCaskill said.

BZZZZZZTTT! Thanks for playing, Michelle.

You might want to google Stephanie Cutter.

She is Michelle’s new minder and controller
Stephanie goes way back with John Kerry and Ted Kennedy...worked for them both

[Blue Turtle]

Attacks?? HA HA HA...paging Mr. Beckel?

[dennisw]

Barack Obama often blurs identity lines; much of his candidacy has seemed almost post-racial. Mrs. Obama’s identity is less mutable. She is a descendant of slaves and a product of Chicago’s historically black South Side. She burns hot where he banks cool, and that too can make her an inviting proxy for attack.

TRANSLATION:
She is freaking idiot who will drive away white votes
Plus Obama has no slave ancestors but she does and has lots of racial resentment baggage

It took two people to write this tripe, and still the newspapers can't figure out why they have to lay off so many employees.

The VIEW.....YUk....

[McGruff]

Fox News called her “Obama’s baby mama,”...

Not the truth but that's irrelevant nowadays.

[bboop]

hardihar, perfect comment.

[Pistolshot]

You only get one chance at a first impression.

That's ok, Michelle, we know who and what you are.

[Mr. K]

This is the EXACT SAME ARTICLE under a different headline printed in International Herald Tribune here

[TexasCajun]

If she requires a “Maker-over”, that must mean her Authenic self is not desireable!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Guess the “Jackie Kennedy” look didn’t exactly take.

[DManA]

If she is changing for the better then they weren’t “attacks”. They were constructive criticisms.

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

When was she attacked?

Get a thicker skin, Obamarosa. You wanted to play.
