“The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,” Obama said, according to the Denver Post. “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.”

Wasn’t it her skin color that made her “historic”?

I am so tired of this crap! You see her, one that has had every opportunity due to affirmative action, with an eternal chip on her shoulder. Meanwhile, I have a friend I love like my own brother, who is quite a bit darker than Michelle. We hunt together, ride motorcycles, he lives in flyover country with a white wife near a town of 200. Nobody gives a damn what color he is, because he doesn’t either.

Eating and vacationing her way across the world, while starving children at lunch...

She had 27 handmaidens, ate Kobe beef and lobster every night, wore free fashion duds,took long, long vacations to fascinating foreign lands protected by policemen 24/7 but is still unhappy. Typical angry black woman. Bore, bore, bore.

Had you been a nice, America loving lady, Michelle, your color would not have mattered a bit. You’re the one who brought it up!

She’s just upset because Melania is winning the WHO WORE IT BETTER contest.

NO.

1. She seemed to tolerate America more than love it.

2. She demonstrated the leftist authoritarian approach to school lunch. And FedGov should not even have been involved with it.

3. She spent taxpayer dollars lavishly.

4. Stupid responses to issues (#bringourgirls home w/pouty face), claiming victimhood, claiming we’re a bunch of racist rednecks, etc.

5. Failing to demonstrate class and grace that is the hallmark of a great FLOTUS.

That’s what comes quickly to mind.

Michelle knows what it is to be black in America as she went to Chicago public schools. Barry not so much.

SHE was the one who brought up skin color ... nearly everything she did had a “black slant” to it.

Two things...1) Did Mr Washington ever anticipate an entirely black person (as opposed to one who's only half black) ever calling the "family quarters" of the White House home?

And 2) Would Mr Washington be at all receptive to Moochell's current claim of victimhood?

Bingo! She bitterly wore it on here sleeve and carried a chip on her shoulder all the time reminding everyone at every turn how they discriminated against her even when she didn’t.

Unhappy black, hates whites and didn’t want to get close to neutral which would mean joining the mainstream of society and just forget color.

Just a big, angry, gorilla like black woman who didn’t fit in. Don’t be self-conscious moochie, just leave and don’t come back.

How was she “historic”?

First transsexual, and mostly got away with the charade?

Michelle wasn’t necessarily ugly on the outside, but she was definitely ugly on the inside and it manifested itself on her face far to often.

When you are convinced that everyone white is a racist and out to get you, anything that does not go your way is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

She’s worried about her skin color? I guess a poor excuse is better than no excuse. Typical ‘rat; can’t face truth or reality.
