I call bogus, and inciting hate, just by the title of the article alone.
Let this young and attractive person screw up on her own accord, Thats my take.. Everyone should get a fresh start. AKA hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

She accepted a post, she may regret it, but till we hear how she carries heself, I’ll not pass judgement on her.
Note: she probably will do badly, but we must allow an administration the full right to make fools of themselves. Gives us ammo to attack the admin..

Lighten up, Francis. It's an actual title that's awarded in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Sheesh.

Looks like the Namby Pamby’s want to apologize for things they know little about.

New Orleans is a different world and most Yankees do not understand but you can axe me if ja want.

Well, I don't agree. I think that she is actually quite attractive and likely has very high organizing skills. Anyone would be challenged by having to work for the wife of "The One" and already she has my sympathy.

I do not even like Obama or Michelle, but it has to do with their ideology. They are accidents waiting to happen.

I actually appreciate the culture of America's people of color and the beauty of some of the community's ladies. This poor lady will be caught in the middle between Michell and The One, and likely will be wrongly blamed on some issue.

You’re lucky you caught the coconuts. Back in the day you could get rendered unconscious if you weren’t looking the right way when they threw those things.

It has been years since they threw the coconuts. Most are handed to people from the side of the float. It helps if you know someone.

Once in a while one gets tossed bet never thrown. I can’t Imagine how I would feel if were on a four day bender only to be nailed in the head with a coconut at 8:00 Mardi Gras morning.
