She said: '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,'
'Barack always reminds me that we are playing a long game,

It’s another Alinsky tactic for when he loses in 2012.
He is, after all is said and done, a victim.
Poor guy, a victim of the Presidency for which he is considered ineligible in the hearts and minds of many of us.
Just be aware that NOTHING coming out of Michelle’s or Barry’s mouths is honest truth ... it’s pure Alinsky tactics.
THAT is THE UGLIEST KISS photo I have ever seen.
They look as if they haven’t had much practice.
A lipless kiss? Noses smushed? WHO above the age of 10 kisses like that?
No, it isn’t the job or the smoking, it’s his inability to improve his golf handicap.
Oh good grief...it’s about having to face daily what a complete failure me, me, me, I, I, I, is....it’s all about him....facing reality isn’t part of his make up.
Cry me a river!!
You are looking at Obama's version of Dorian Grey. Your hubby is out golfing.
Gray with an ‘a’..
Better than a “candle face”.
Something tells me Moochelle is NOT cool with that. But I sure as hell am!
looks like oj simpson to me..... either way a killer of the united states......
What an amazing couple. Books will be written. Songs will be sung. Movies will be made. People will die.
Michelle, I call BS.
You and your evil husband are endless joyful as you systematically destroy my country.
I don’t wish Pres. Trainwreck ill, just to begone ASAP.
It the look everyone makes when you walk into the room or finish gnawing on your 5th tax-payer paid lobster, MEEEchelle.
Stupid witch, that’s sun damage from too much golf.
Well, yeah. When you get past 40 you start developing the yips and suddenly those 3 footers you used to just walk up to and nonchalantly knock into the hole start looking like 20 footers and the cup starts looking like a thimble.
