Michelle Obama gave a candid view Saturday of the challenges and emotional toll of being the country’s first black first lady.

Obama, speaking to graduates at Tuskegee University in Alabama, described insensitive media questions and derogatory remarks from political pundits that she said have kept her up at night.

“You might remember the on-stage celebratory fist bump between me and my husband after a primary win that was referred to as a ‘terrorist fist jab,’ ” she said.

They won’t have to look hard. They are the first “Black” everything in history. Just ask their fawning fanclub. Money will flow like mana from liberals. People that claim WE put Reagan at demigod status ain’t seen nothing like what’s coming. Assuming we don’t collapse/get nuked by his buddies first.

Not sure which one in that pic whizzes standing up. He looks far more feminine and I’m serious.

When she becomes a lady, then we can listen. Otherwise she is just the first spouse. As for her spending all that white money, she is making her people proud.

I remember when they asked her how fat her ass was.That’s hard to take .Which wig she was going to wear for the day.If she was going to wear clown clothes or not.The most insulting was if she was going to scratch her crotch in front of the camera.How dare they.

So glad to see Michelle and Barack finally acknowledge that affirmative action is very important to the upward mobility of the Black people.

So often it gets ignored and not credited for the success of some Blacks such as Michelle and Barack. Their nod of credit to affirmative action in their case will ensure that it will be around for quite some time.

She is a chutzpadik parasite. Next time she opens her hideously ugly mouth to complain about the silver spoon she’s appropriated for herself on OUR dime, someone please slap the ____ out of her.

She’s been a victim since the day she was born, evidently. Everything in her life is related to race and she seems to fail to see what she got because of her race.

Would she have qualified for an Ivy League school without that preference? Would she be first lady if her husband wasn’t 1/2 black? NO to both questions, IMO.

The thing that took an emotional on me and Mrs TaMoDee was the picture of her wearing an orange skirt, blue shoes and
and a green purse ———— pure class act!

She was paid $315,000 per year by a Chicago hospital to ditch low income folks from the hood.

Where to begin? No-show job? Paid to keep her out of their way, much like Shrillary and the Rose Law Firm?

If she did do any ditching, it was probably the first actual work she did that she got paid to do.
