San Francisco Supervisor Sophie Maxwell and other African American leaders in the Bayview are not at all happy about how this week's visit by first lady Michelle Obama was handled.
"One look at the picture on the front of The Chronicle says it all," Maxwell said. "The people in the neighborhood had to climb fences to even get a look at what was going on.
"The people I have talked with felt very disengaged and somewhat offended," Maxwell said.
At issue was the planning - or lack thereof - for the first lady's visit to Bret Harte Elementary School, where she, California first lady Maria Shriver and about 500 volunteers in orange T-shirts began building a playground Monday.

She won....deal with it, peons.
Oh no she di’unt!
The neo-Chewbacca look?
damn you!!! LOL
I saw them on the local news. They had been clutching at the chain link fence for hours just hoping to get a glimpse of their beloved Mrs. Millstone.
Are they waking up yet?
She’s one butt ass ugly Bioootch!!! Is she capable of a normal facial expression??? I have never seen a first lady (excuse the pun) with more butt ass ugly facial expressions & a permanent scowl. No wonder 0boooooooombashiite spends so much time jet setting around the country. He must have close to a coronary when he wakes up in the morning next to Michelle, the man-beast.
LOL Fenced out or in?
The responses to this article on the blog forum are highly amusing. Virtually all the ones I read told this Sophie woman that if she wants something done in her neighborhood to do it herself, and quit waiting for government to come in and fix it. Obviously most of Obama’s supporters thought money would rain from the sky after The Great Spreader’s election. Now that they’ve found out they might actually have to do some work to improve themselves, they’re highly disappointed.
