While Michelle Obama fruitlessly pimped (oh ok, shilled, promoted) her corrupt, broke and now nationally known violent, native town, as a site for the 2016 Olympics, for the first time in her life she was seemingly proud of it.
Her neighborhood
"of working families -- families with modest homes and strong values.Sports were what brought our community together. They strengthen our ties to one another."
It was also, and still is, a relatively high crime neighborhood. It is a testimony to Michelle and her parents that she emerged relatively unscathed except with a huge, but somewhat understandable, chip on her shoulder. Many of the proposed venues for the games would be in or near her old neighborhood she noted, which is also not far from her former employer, the University of Chicago, an institution, which for some reason never reached out to her as a "promising student" as she once whined.
She continued her plea.

Michelle Obama is a PR disaster every time the Obama camp lets her out of her guilded cage with 27 paid synchophants and servants.
To brag, in Copenhagen and before the world, that your father taught you how to fight dirty in the streets of Chicago, land left hooks, and other rhetoric withing days of two students in Chicago being savagely beaten (one to death with planks and boards) is the height of being morally and politically tone deaf.
Someone lock her back up in the West Wing, get her a few alcoholic drinks, let her go shopping for hideous outfits, and get ready for another taxpayer financed "date night" somewhere.
You’re so right and what I wonder is who wrote that speech for her? Surely someone had to check the speech at the very least! Talking about fighting only served to remind the IOC members of what they’ve seen on TV recently about Chicago, I’m sure.
I have been looking for the transcript. The only person I heard talking about it was Michael Medved on his radio show. Medved is a very thoughtful man, and he usually does not go off half cocked. He was incredulous at her choice of words in the wake of the beatings and the one murder in Chicago.
A typical Obama speech. It’s all about ME!
“I don’t understand her huge chip.”
It’s not her fault she has huge hips? Oops you said chip, sorry.
Sullen.
After years of bombardment from race hustlers, poverty pimps, and libtard politicians, the chip-on-the-shoulder syndrome is probably the rule and not the exception.
The woman is a hateful narcissistic wretch without a gracious or greatful bone in her body.
Enuff said.
The article was about what Omama didn’t tell the Olympics committee but after reading it I can’t tell what that was.
Man, that pic says it all!!!!
Perhaps Michelle should consider wearing a Burqa!
I know many people of color who have the happiest and most pleasant disposition...nothing like Michelle.
She brings to mind that old adage "you see in others what you see in yourself." By that notion, she must be a "downright mean" and hateful person.
Its all about the race card, 24/7/365.
Just curious...what was it about comment #5 that got it pulled?
