Man, how miserable is Michelle Obama?
About 2½ years into her ceremonial stint as first lady, Mrs. Obama seems to have had quite enough of the gig. More to the point, she doesn’t seem to have ever warmed to the second-fiddle slot as other first ladies before her did. And even more than that, she doesn’t seem all that happy with the man she married 19 years ago.
A look at just this past month is illuminating. On Aug. 9, the first lady sneaked out of Washington and flew aboard a government plane to Corvallis, Ore. On board, dozens of staffers, Secret Service agents, Mrs. Obama’s mother and one of the Obamas’ daughters (we never did find out who). No husband. Her office never announced the trip; the news was broken by Oregon’s Register-Guard newspaper.
“She’s on a private, family trip to meet with her brother and his family,” aide Semonti Stephens said.
But security for the first lady locked down a ritzy country club neighborhood. “We couldn’t go out and get our mail without first telling them our names,” a neighbor told the Register-Guard.
Of course, the optics were terrible. Just as the markets were melting down — and millions of Americans settled in to enjoy a “staycation” — the first lady was off on vacation, again. Why wouldn’t her brother — even his whole family — just slip into Washington for a couple nights at the White House during the summer break?
But things got really weird this month when the first family went on yet another vacation, this time a 10-day break on Martha’s Vineyard......

Had the partners investigated Michelle's background, they would have foreseen the disaster to come. Sympathetic biographer Liza Mundy writes, "Michelle frequently deplores the modern reliance on test scores, describing herself as a person who did not test well."
She did not write well, either. Mundy charitably describes her senior thesis at Princeton as "dense and turgid." The less charitable Christopher Hitchens observes, "To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be 'read' at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn't written in any known language."
Cashill has a couple of other paragraphs about her as well, but this is the crux of it.
I think this explains her unhappiness.

In full view of rolling cameras. I hope.
I was talking about the kids - maybe they’ll have a tale to tell. Not clear that they are the liars that their parents are.
I haven’t noticed any change. He has always looked like that.
ADD & ADHD are due to magnesium deficiency
Can anyone blame her? After becoming first lady, instead of getting her mule and 40 acres, she gets a Portuguese water dog and a garden...............
OMG(oodness), that was funny!
That's a perfect example of the effects these drugs have on some people.
I'll give you an example of a guy who, IMO never took them...Bill Clinton.
You must not have been paying attention to the way these two specimens interact with each other.
What you describe would require Moochelle to have a conscience, and, well, intelligence.
She’s never had either, and never will.
Ha! The guy had charisma no doubt. People may have hated his poltics but the guy new how to use his personality to his advantage.
The public is so accustomed now to a politician who gives them "shivers up their legs" and "feel good drauma"...that critical thinking has little if no place in their daily decisions.
Spot on.
Neither of them have a soul, either. Like Bill & Hill. And even Chelsea, it’s appearing.
