I should like Michelle Obama, but I don't

I know I should like Michelle Obama. But . . . I just don’t.

I can’t! Because, every time I try, I’m snake-charmed back by the pearlised nail varnish and Mars Attacks! hair of the one, the only, the ultimate power cheerleader: Cindy McCain.

It all came to a head the other week when the putative First Fembot bowled through London on her way back to America from Vietnam. (Clearly, heiresses don’t worry about their carbon footprint — just as long as it’s a diamond-studded, snake-skin-heeled stiletto mega-stomp.)

With an Air Force One blow-dry and coral-pink lipstick, the former junior rodeo queen was clearly on a charm offensive. “Oh garsh,” she fluttered when asked about the 71-year-old pepaw — far from being over the hill, he actually “wore her out”, and if campaigning ever got too arduous, she sweetly contented herself with the fact that that she had “a ringside seat on American history”. The general impression was that Mrs McCain, in the style of Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan, doesn’t really want to be First Lady at all, and is, instead, rather looking forward to getting back to her diamonds and the delights of the Dallas Crystal Charity Ball once her husband has got this highfalutin political jiggery-pokery out of his system.

John McCain embarrassed by aide's terror gaffe The more John McCain is right on Iraq, the more he loses How much more reassuring than Michelle Obama, who comes from the “I’ve got a leather skirt, I’ve got a leather Birkin bag, I’ve got a PhD in whupass” school of political wifery. We’ve only just got rid of Chony and Billary, for pity’s sake, and here we are again with yet another twinkly-eyed charisma merchant whose gobby wife can barely stop herself from grabbing the microphone.

My wife screams at the TV everytime "The View" or some other idiot woman compares Michelle Obama to Jacqueline Kennedy. She is not attractive by any measure.

....first lady in the Whitehouse

Please note that it is the "White House", i.e. 2 words, not Whitehouse (i.e. 1 word). "Whitehouse", the way you used it, is someone's last name. Please remember to use the correct format.

It’s a shame that YouTube video has only had a little over 8,000 viewings.

Look,its true that Michele is an angry,in your face, confrontational black woman.
But lets be honest.Do you know any who are NOT?
And don’t mention Condi because I can guarantee you that anyone getting on her wrong side is going to get the Evil Sister treatment to the fullest.
Not defending Michele but just keeping it real.

Try as I might, I could not divine this author’s point. I think she was just filling space to meet a contractual obligation, because I could not make sense of the thing.

Oh thank goodness. I couldn't figure out most of this gibberish and thought I was experiencing Sundowners disease!

Did McCain really call his wife a c**t in front of reporters? Because she teased him about being bald?

Holy Moly.

He says “At least I don’t plaster on the make-up like a trollop, you c***.”?

I’m starting to worry about his temper and “the button”.

Man, I was just starting to ease up on McCain.

Nor could you make up this report in the New York Review of Books: “In 1992, after Cindy McCain teased her husband about his thinning hair, McCain snapped at her, in front of the reporters and two staffers: ‘At least I don’t plaster on the make-up like a trollop, you c***.’ ” Now that’s what I call showbusiness. For ugly people.

Why do I doubt that happened? Because McCaine is still married and able to walk

"Oh no you di in't!"

I'm sorry, that's just what comes into my mind whenever I see that pic. it's involuntary, so I guess that makes me a racist.

I don’t think that’s very fair. NObama Girl seems pretty sweet.

This is the part that confuses me....It isn't in the original article nor in any of the sidebar headlines that I could see.

"I shouldn’t despise Michelle Obama, but I do."

Thats a lot closer to my sentiment than the poor excuse of a writers.

Except I don't know about the word 'despise'. Got anything stronger?

There are a lot of women who just cannot stand Michelle Obama. One can understand it.

Not only that, but not voting for Brawk Hussein Obama makes you a racist too.
