In revealing new memoir, Michelle Obama candidly shares her story (WaPo book review mega-barf alert)
Washington Post ^ | November 8, 2018 | Krissah Thompson

Posted on 11/08/2018 10:49:03 PM PST by Zakeet

Her book ... is revealing, right down to the glossy cover photo in a casual white top - one shoulder exposed, eyes bright.

[Snip]

She does lay bare her deep, quaking disdain for Trump, who she believes put her family's safety at risk with his vehement promotion of the false birther conspiracy theory.

"The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks," she writes. "What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family's safety at risk. And for this I'd never forgive him."

[Snip]

She divides the memoir into three parts: Becoming Me, Becoming Us, Becoming More.

[Snip]

The second section, Becoming Us, is a romp through her romance with Barack Obama, starting a family with him and her search for work that she loved. It begins with words that have never before been written by a first lady about her man: "As soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack, the feelings came rushing - a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, wonder."

I'm sure that you fellow right wing wingnuts and kooks will also have a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, wonder as you gaze upon the young lovers ... and then try to make it through her ghost written puff book without gagging.

Oh, relax Mike. You two AA, feel good, white guilt lottery winners are set for a hundred lifetimes. Go to Haiti and buy some more kids, you’ll feel better. Take two, they’re small

Don’t ruin it for me, but how did they kill Joan Rivers for revealing that Michelle is a tranny and Barry is a flamer?

“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washimgton?”

2008: Politico: Obama brings a gun to a knife fight
By BEN SMITH
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”…
“Why is Barack Obama so negative? In the last 24 hours, he’s completely abandoned his campaign’s call for ‘new politics,’ equating the election to a ‘brawl’ and promising to ‘bring a gun,’ ” said the RNC’s Alex Conant…
Obama never paid much of a price for his willingness to go negative. He also, to be fair, never promised that he wouldn’t attack, and indeed often promised to be tougher than past Democrats, and bragged of his Chicago training…

I suppose someone wrote the book for this dunce. Her college thesis from Princeton was riddled with spelling errors & grammatical deficiencies.

The poor guy is always flipping the bird.

Makes you wonder what an insecure little boy he really is inside.

Grown men don’t do that.

p.s. That book cover looks like a photo shop. Her face on somebody else's body. That's not bigfoot's shoulder.

“...photo in a casual white top - one shoulder exposed, eyes bright.”

We should all be impressed with such a major accomplishment.

"She writes lovingly of her family and gives a detailed account of her courtship with her future husband, whom she met when both were at the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin LLP; she was initially his adviser."

To this day, completely unaware that she was assigned to be Bobo's beard.

"Secretaries claimed he was both brilliant and “cute,” although Michelle Obama was skeptical, writing that white people went “bonkers” any time you “put a suit” on a “half-intelligent black man.”

["Dat's racist!".gif]

"She also reflects on early struggles in her marriage to Barack Obama as he began his political career and was often away. She writes that they met with a counselor “a handful of times,” and she came to realize that she was more “in charge” of her happiness than she had realized."

Oops, she did figure out she was Bobo's beard!

The First Wookie and Obama are sure sensitive about birthers. They never let that issue die. What drives the left’s hysteria is the Donald’s access to their darkest secrets. I hope the Donald exposes Obama’s fraud.

I am a birther. The evidence is compelling.

“Becoming” huh? I already read about that in Harris’ “Red Dragon”. Of course, he didn’t already have the teeth for it. He had to have them made.
