Why so glum, Michelle?
The Washington Times ^ | August 28, 2011 | Joseph Curl

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......

I remember reading an article on Moochelle a couple years ago that interviewed a senior partner in the Chicago law firm she “worked” for after law school. He described her as always unhappy, always complaining about something. She was already playing the victim back then.

I realize you’re echoing Barry’s “typical white person” rhetoric, but I’m nouveau riche — maybe a little weak on the riche, maybe not.

My father was an 8th grade dropout anyway. In my experience, new money is less angry than old money.

Undoubtedly, the man is not well. Today's news conference was an exercise in delusional behavior I found to be very disturbing.

Disturbing yes, but only in the sense that I want to see 0dumb0 fall & fall hard, plus take down his cronies with him. That kind of disturbing? LOL!

For the first time in my life, I agree with Michelle Obama. It’s that commie lib marxist white blood of Hussein that is causing the problems.

Hey, hon....my grandfather was poor in his day. 8th grade education selling salve on the back of a MULE......only to become one of the only stage businesses in his day. He WORKED for it. Unlike these cretins.

These people used RACE to become who they are. Nothing more.....nothing less. YOU and my GF used the sweat of there brow!!!!! HUGE difference.

The NV I refer to are the ones who have NEVER worked their way to the top.

She thought that when Obozo the Bamster got elected, she would simply be the queen, able to do whatever she wanted to do while being waited on hand and foot by adoring minions.

But the First Lady has her own duties and responsibilities and such things actually mean she has to do things resembling work.

She hates it.

Maybe the current occupants of the White House will end up on an episode of “COPS”. Remember all the stories about Hillary throwing ashtrays and lamps at Bill? And all those mysterious bruises and black eyes he always seemed to have?
