"It was strange, that excitement over this first-year student," then-32-year-old Michelle Obama recalls when describing the buzz about a new summer associate at the law firm Sidley and Austin. "So smart, so good-looking, so intelligent, everyone was talking about Barack. I’m more of the skeptical kind, I was thinking, 'Yeah, he’s probably an idiot, whatever.'"

Michelle had it right the first time. Obama is an “idiot,” to use her language. His campaign had to spend so much money because he had to travel to “all 57 states.”

She, the affirmative action Queen, is so sweet isn’t she? How could Obama resist her?

Interesting that Le Monde would chose interview a nobody idiot rabble rouser and his wife. "Rabble rouser", that is what Michelle ment by "whatever" isn't it?

"I think that in a certain way, I’ve tried all my life to fabricate a family through stories, memories, friends or ideas. ..."

Obama: “I don’t speak a foreign language. It’s embarrassing!”

Why would Obama be in the news in 1996? He was just a lowly community organizer still right?

She got half of that right. Both of them are idiots.

He says, "perhaps that’s where the private and public spheres meet, when it comes to couples, relationships, families or tribes. What’s important is empathy, an understanding of shared responsibilities, the ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes.

This has the feel of one of Obama's core beliefs...

As I’ve said in the past, if you take the meaning of his names Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., it can be translated to Lucifer, Jr.

Barry Zero’s ‘set up’ started before Bill Ayers wrote his books for him. I imagine Soros is the silent partner. Or perhaps the guy who funded his education . . . Saudi guy? Can’t recall the name. Or maybe there are many silent partners besides Lucifer, Sr.

Michelle might be married to him but Hillary has him by the balls.

[They'reGone2000]

Yes, but he appreciates fine dining and stepping out for "smokes"

Pure Pablum. All generalities, just like today.
