Michelle Obama is a lot of things, and one thing she is NOT is warm and charming.
Her demeanor and stance reminds me of the black girls in high school who were looking to start a fight with someone, anyone, if they looked at them the wrong way.
She exudes attitude and hostility.
Her ability to 'melt' and 'wow the U.K.' is, in my opinion, a total media creation.
She is a great galumphing middle-aged woman who dresses too young, can’t even button a sweater correctly, but who can, with professional assistance, look acceptable about one time out of five. She can look attractive for a few moments at a time, but not for the extended periods demanded of someone in her position. I cannot fathom why she wasn’t given a crash course in deportment. Perhaps she rejected any advice. She may have advisers who are telling her that authenticity trumps polish.
I can almost believe some of this, depending on whom they are polling. I have traveled to resorts filled with Europeans and, for the most part, I have found them without graces and their vaunted fashion sense seems non-existent. They are usually quite frugal to the point of being cheap and I can see where they could relate to Michelle. Certainly, she is not threatening in the looks and fashion departments, so perhaps they are giving her a pass out of compassion or condescension.
I have been in countries with a native educated class that was black. Those women were charming, dressed very well and their public deportment was exquisite. Certainly, the European elites have experienced such women. I wonder what they think, privately. The contrasts would be so apparent.
If one didn’t have experience with aggressive American blacks, perhaps that wouldn’t be their reaction. Back in the day when I went to school, the black students were fairly normal. I don’t recall anyone who was looking for a fight. I think that changed in the 70s.
“Her ability to ‘melt’ and ‘wow the U.K.’ is, in my opinion, a total media creation.”
EVERYTHING about the Zeros’ alleged charm, wit, brilliance and sophistication is a figment of the imagination of the MSM. (With a lot of help from the Communists...)
Oh yea, I know very well the type. She’s a snot nosed arrogant little white hater and we all know it too.
Oh my, my best friend (who encountered that group quite a bit) remarked on the same thing. There were girls who were our friends, and there were girls with chips on their shoulders. Michelle was one of the girls you would encounter in the bathroom. No matter how much she wants to paint herself as the sweet little girl who got good grades and ‘talked white’. She is no Condi Rice, now THAT woman was grace, elegance, charm and strength all rolled into one. But because she worked under the Bush Administration, she wasn’t given the credit she was due. They are trying to make Michelle out to be what Condi was and she just isn’t.
Sadly, the older we got, the less friends we had and more moved over to the chipped shoulder side.
Where IS this garbage coming from?
