First lady Michelle Obama today spoke in very frank and personal terms to a Massachusetts audience as she described her conversion to a political wife, as well as the toll President Obamas job takes on him each day.
I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice. You wont believe what these folks are going through; he told me that last night. Michelle, it is not right. Weve got to fix this. We have to do more, she said during a visit to Boston for a fund-raiser on behalf of the Democratic National Committee.
Barack always reminds me that we are playing a long game, she added, replicating her husbands call for patience amid the countrys slow emergence from a recession. He reminds me, as I said to you, too, that change is slow. He reminds me that change doesnt happen all at once, but that if we keep showing up, if we keep fighting the good fight, doing what we know is right, then eventually we will get there, because the truth is we always have in this country. We always have.
Like her husband did a day earlier during a White House news conference, the first lady evoked the image of their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, as she tried to stir Democratic supporters.
The truth is that no matter what happens, my girls will be OK. My girls will have plenty of advantages and opportunities in their lives. And thats probably true for many of your kids as well, she told a largely female audience of about 125 people gathered at the Chestnut Hill home of philanthropists and Democratic activists Elaine and Gerald Schuster....

She did this little speech to a small group and used a telepromter! No kidding!!!
Egad! That's the last thing we need.
Oh the drama of it all! All those cigarettes are what’s creasing his face.
Dessert was a selection of tartlets.
The first lady wore her hair up, with what appeared to be a white or cream-colored dressed with a black-fleck pattern. She wore high heels. Asked to help a reporter better describe her dress, Rafanelli said simply, Fabulous.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! lIKE THEY GIVE A CRAP WHAT THE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE GOING THRU!!!! “Give me ARULA or give me death”!!
How she and her husband can say these things with a straight face is what amazes me.
It doesn’t amaze me. Evil has no soul.
these puff pieces on his fictional work ethic always come out when he’s embarking on another vacation
The Glob is just a pitiful poor paper.
“Keep reading the article and see the menu!!”
NICE ,Yeah just what that Wide Load small brain needs! Teleprompter?????? What a moron!
Of course, he was talking about union bureaucrats, GM employees, people who can’t marry their goat, women with less than three abortions and Democrat congressmen who lost their seats.
Gee I do not recall any former First Lady talking publicly about the severe toll the presidency took on their husbands. Do you suppose there is something in the wind that Obama may not run? He may have been told to step aside for a more exsperienced Socilist?
All the golfing, Martini Wednesdays and serial vacations are exhausting. Its hard to concentrate on destroying the country when you are partied out.
What the heck does this mean?
It’s tough when you miss so many 2 ft putts.
Pray for America
Yep, he knows he is but the first step in a progressive movement to overthrow the USA as we know it. He is merely setting the agenda for the next Marxist to continue down the road to the socialist utopian.
I think about the sacrifices that my husband, and the thousands of other husband’s serving in the military, have sacrificed for their country - then I read this pap and grind my teeth.
These people don’t know suffering. They have no idea what it means to sacrifice for their country.
Next year, I was hoping to give my husband his first real vacation since 1991. Now it looks like it won’t happen.
I hope Zero enjoys Camp David. /s
“I see the worry creasing his face.”
He’s probably most worried that she’s going to demand sex from him.

Could be that in less than 16 months when they lose the election they will have to give up the taxpayer-provided perks of the presidency --

Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16: Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
“Weve got to fix this. We have to do more,”
Translation: the people who work for a living need to pay more taxes so the moochers won’t have to stop buying lobster and steak.
