This first lady has been the weakest and most trivial in a half-century, no substance, and not even any flash — a Shelly O, maybe, but no Jackie O. One reason: She’s not all that likeable. She polls OK, but c’mon, who’d want to hang out with her? She just doesn’t seem fun, often has on that “I’m-Not-Amused” face. Something about her makes you think: Boy, she’s angry about something.
Remember that glare she gave the French first lady? How about that body language when hubby Barack was taking that selfie at the Nelson Mandela funeral (well, maybe she had a point).
And then there’s the 2008 campaign, when she said: “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country.” And her Princeton dissertation, when she lamented her future in a “white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society, never becoming a full participant.”
Really? A black man is president — and he’s your husband! No, racism isn’t dead, and will never be in those backwood pockets of the South, but please, we’re well past the Jim Crow days, and someone — maybe even you, Shelly O — ought to be celebrating where America has finally arrived.
But Mrs. Obama has never been fully satisfied with America’s treatment of her. For some reason, she continues to harbor bitterness, and that comes through in nearly everything shes does. You gotta wonder when the president decides to head to Oso, Wash., as he is next week. Just need to get away? Cuz, what’s in Oso, Wash., that draws the president? Oh, an overnight. Gotcha.

"America's treatment of her?" She's lived a pampered upper middle class lifestyle her entire life and, nevertheless, has climbed life's social and economic ladder based almost exclusively on affirmative action.
The great thing about Michelle’s focus on nutrition is that everyone thinks she is talking about someone else.
NOT a happy person.
Maybe being squeezed out of the Illinois bar, under murky, concealed circumstances, like the malignant contents of a putrescent pustule, only four years after she was admitted soured her attitude a bit.
Careful Michelle, your face might freeze that way!
Honestly I’ve never seen a picture of the woman smiling. When has it occurred?
Is that photoshopped?
That seems like too much lobster for one woman.
I had a friend who happened to be black who grew up on a farm in Tennessee. He had told me how some of the neighboring farmers were up front with how they felt about blacks, but they would still do business with you, trade favors, and help you out when you needed it. He learned that people up North were much worse because they kept their feelings hidden, yet would shut you out when it came to interactions and opportunity.
The old phrase used to be that the Southerner would say “You may come closer but you may not rise higher”, and the Northerner would say “You may rise higher but you may not come closer”. Ugly, but with some truth to it.
The author’s snide comment in passing though reminds me of why I am happier living next to Southern blacks than smug Yankees.
LOL! I was thinking the same thing.
If the writer is trying to give an honest assessment, a more accurate statement would have been-
No, racism isn’t dead, and will never be as long as you and your ilk insist on resurrecting it for political points.
....but I guess that would have been raaaacist.
good start on a possible collage
Also need one for the Defender of Benghazi and the Keeper of the FBI Files
did she not find any racism in China while waving their flags??
racism isn’t only demonstrated by whites - blacks with an attitude as does Mrs.Obama are the worst racists of modern times, IMO
No, racism isn’t dead, and will never be in those backwood pockets of the South
I just read an article regarding a survey which showed New York State to have the most segregated schools in the nation. The other states in the top ten were almost all in the northeast.
Top ten most segregated school systems in the nation-
The UCLA Civil Rights Project conducted the study, but the link in the article which leads to the Project’s site is giving a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable page.
From reading her sophomoric racist thesis, she didn’t belong at Princeton based on merit, she knew it, was bitter, and as usual projected it onto “racist” whites.
Not true. She is the world’s most admired lady. It has been proven by the annual Ladies Home Journal poll. And, it she is not first, then she is second - behind her majesty, Hillary Clinton.
