Michelle Obama Gets a Taste of Being Hillary-d

The UK Telegraph recently put forth a rather ridiculous article Was ‘Lady Macbeth’ behind Barack Obama’s snub of Gordon Brown? postulating that “gift gate,” wherein the President disrespected British PM Gordon Brown with his less than thoughtful present of 25 DVDs, was somehow Michelle’s fault. Nonsense.
For the record, let me state I will not forgive Michelle Obama for her comments about Hillary during the primary. When asked if she would support Hillary Clinton were she to be the nominee, Michelle said “she’d have to think about it – it would “depend on her tone.” Her tone?! Mrs. Obama’s notorious statement that for the first time in her adult life she was proud of her country was, at the very least, ill-conceived and at the worst, completely thoughtless and ungrateful. Finally, her diss to Hillary, the “if you can’t take care of your own house…” statement was likewise shortsighted.
However, it seems Mrs. Obama’s husband is having a little trouble taking care of his own house at the moment…Perhaps the first lady is learning these kinds of thoughts would be better kept to oneself. But this brings me to my point…
No matter how I may feel about Michelle Obama’s past statements or actions, she is not the President and cannot be used as a shield, a distraction or a whipping post for his faulty actions. By that very logic, if she is that all-powerful, she should have run for President, not he.
And if this woman is that strong, obviously, Hillary Clinton, with her experience and incredible smarts must be even stronger. Why is she not president today? Possibly because women are still subjected to this same idiotic double standard and a ‘blame game’ that defies all reason.
The UK article refers to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 Princeton thesis, “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community,” guarded from publication prior to the election, in which she stated:
“I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”
Mr. Delingpole’s theory is that this separate attitude is to blame for her wish for revenge over past British hegemony, and thus, she instructed her husband to deliver a slight to Prime Minister Gordon Brown, although he cites no evidence to that effect. Delingpole states:
At the moment in Britain, we’re still in the “Doesn’t she look fabulous in a designer frock” stage of understanding of Michelle Obama. Gradually, though, we’ll begin to realise that she is every bit the terrifying executive’s wife that Hillary Clinton was. Or, shudder, Cherie Blair.
We may just LURVE Michelle’s fashion sense. But Michelle doesn’t reciprocate our affection, one bit. Her broad-brush view of history associates Brits with the wicked white global hegemony responsible for the slave trade. Never mind that a white, Tory Englishman - William Wilberforce - brought the slave trade to an end. Judging by her record, Michelle does not make room for such subtle nuance.
The article refers to Michelle Obama as Lady Macbeth – the same disrespectful, evil name they coined to describe Hillary Clinton years before. By labeling Michelle Obama with the moniker of the overly-ambitious, evil wife, this article is intimating the Barack Obama is not capable of thinking for himself. So the beat goes on. Blame the wife. Blame the woman. It must be her fault. She is pulling the strings and telling her “weak husband” what to do.
But what does her 1985 thesis have to do with President Obama claiming he is overwhelmed and tired a mere seven weeks after taking office? Or that he cannot be bothered to find a more thoughtful gift than a boxed set of DVDs (in the wrong format) for a man who is going blind? For that matter, what would any of her actions have to do with the fact that Obama made a tax cheat Treasury Secretary, or any of his other missteps?
This is merely a milder version of the same sexist claptrap that Hillary has been subjected to for years. While I am not comparing these two ladies, it is a pattern that must be discussed. Frankly, I am sick and damned tired of this ‘blame the woman’ meme that is so popular here. The British obviously seem to suffer from a good dose of this nonsense as well.
This is not unlike our (awful) Chris Matthews and their (awful) Chris Hitchens, who, when the stink about Rev. Wright was discovered, tried to say that it was due to “Michelle’s influence” that President Obama sat in that church for 20 years.
I will repeat now what I wrote then – If the 47 year old (then) frontrunner for the Dem. nomination, millionaire, successful author, Senator, husband and father of two cannot figure out how to pick up his round behind out of a place he does not belong, regardless of what his wife is doing, then he had no business running to be President.
Whatever Michelle Obama’s thesis said in 1985, she is not the President of the United States. If President Obama cannot figure out the proper protocol or be classy or politically savvy enough to have a team help to figure it out for him, I am not going to blame her for that. He is to blame first and foremost. Surely there is a White House Social Secretary. There are people in charge of protocol instructing the President and First Lady as to the proper treatment of foreign dignitaries. They know better than to get last minute trinkets at the White House gift shop. Yes, Michelle should have known better, too – this was callous and thoughtless in my view. But the bigger responsibility must rest with the President. The buck stops with him – the man with his feet up behind the desk.
Barack Obama does not get a pass on any of his errors in judgment on account of his wife. And if this was a deliberate political slight to the PM, it is coming from Obama and his administration – he must take responsibility for it and bear the consequences, should there be any. And if it was mere carelessness or thoughtlessness, he may pay the price for that, too, down the line.
Again, I am not making a case for the first lady. I am simply pointing out that it is a very familiar pattern to say “oh, he seems nice, but that wife of his!!”
Speaking as a woman with a strong personality, I know all too well what it is like for a husband with an easygoing manner to be the guy doing all the glad handing, while refusing to be the disciplinarian, so guess what – that role falls to the wife by default. She winds up looking like the harridan by comparison. This is all, conscious or unconscious, image management on the part of the man and the woman gets stuck with the dirty work.
Clichéd as it is, how many times have you been at some function over the years and heard a husband describe his wife as “the old ball and chain” or some modern version of the same. It is another nail in the coffin of marital respect. Many men, even those who love their wives dearly, love to play this game. Oh “she’s got me whipped,” I just say “yes, dear.” More poppycock. Little boys trying to make their wives “mommy.” It is a bad habit and just as bad for the wife to engage in it by making their husbands the Peter Pans in the equation. And many do.
We all laugh it off but I wonder, if, at its heart, there is something more dangerous going on here – a need for the man to make less of his need for the woman by somehow dissing her.
Almost a year ago, when the writing was on the wall that the DNC was going to award the nomination to Obama no matter what, I predicted that if they did make it to the White House, the day would come when the press honeymoon would end, and Michelle, outspoken personality that she is, would finally see what it is like to be on the receiving end of some of the treatment Hillary knows all too well. Even if she receives one tenth of that foul treatment, Michelle Obama may yet rue the day she made her earlier statements. Mrs. Obama may yet understand what it means to take care of her own house – ‘cause right now it’s not looking so good.
Some I know who did not vote for Obama, Democrats all, by the way, find her even more hateful than him and miss no opportunity to tell me so. I find his egregious flip-flops, behavior and statements far worse, however. As much as I was avoiding the drooling media covering their every step, I made it my business to watch the Inauguration, their Sixty Minutes interview post-election, and also Mrs. Obama appearing before women in the military to coincide with Women’s History Month. On those occasions, I observed someone self-conscious, uncomfortable in her own person, awkward in the new role she has been given, working very hard to belong. This might be true of anyone in her position. In that Sixty Minutes interview, she was constantly casting sidewise glances at her husband, always checking him, seemingly worried he was going to make a mistake. I can see why. We will see what kind of First Lady she turns out to be – and no, I don’t much care whether or not she goes sleeveless.
But I do care that the President of the United States professed to be not only “ready on day one” but “right on day one” – apparently he is neither ready nor right.
While I may have reason to protest her behavior on certain fronts, I will always be aware to credit or blame her with what is hers, and not pretend that she wields all the power here.
If Michelle Obama winds up on the receiving end of sexist abuse, I wonder if she’ll speak our against the self-same behavior used against both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, being that she was so complicit in it, by virtue of her silence. How many other women out there were complicit in allowing Hillary, the stronger candidate, to be excoriated, yet said nothing in the face of this endless misogyinist assault?
Mr. Delingpole would not be the first person to try to project all the negative traits of the male onto the female. Perhaps the reason he and other sexists like him choose to blame Michelle Obama, and, to a greater degree, Hillary Clinton before her, is more out of fear of a powerful woman than anything else.
This irrational fear or envy, in part, explains why we do not have a woman president as we speak.

By Sarah Palin (Release date: November 17. 2009)
Don’t forget how Sarah Palin was crucified for being the one in power. I don’t mean to whine about the treatment of women, though. Personally, I find it amusing that MO is getting to know firsthand what Hillary endured then and still does. That “bitch” Karma. Right? Do we know for sure that Karma isn’t male?
Call me mean-spirited and petty, but I hope MO gets more of the same, until she gets so fed up that she throws a major fit and shows her true nature. Maybe she’ll even read BO the riot act for putting her in the line of fire. That would make my day. (I know, I know… very petty.)
Well, where Karma is concerned, many other Hillary backstabbers have already reaped a bunch of the same.
Interesting.
Stereotypes, sexism, hate against women. mmmh no this is not a good idea. She deserves to get “what she deserves” (nothing good obviously) but using sexism is not a good idea. Sexism NEVER must be used. That works against human rights
Out, damned spot! Out I say!
Now someone will have to explain to her who Lady McBeth was.
Love it!
And let’s hope they don’t name their new dog “Spot”.
Lady Macbeth’s remorse led to her suicide and his downfall.
Michelle Obama is NOT Hillary Clinton. There’s no way anyone can compare her to Hillary. Hillary has class. Michelle Obama is a zebra when you compare first ladies. She is a classless, thoughtless, clueless woman.
Well, certainly, you know I was not comparing her to Hillary.
I am merely stating that this habit of pundits projecting the bad onto the woman while the male politician skates away scott free is nonsense.
You stated:
But just before that you stated all the mean things she said about Hillary.
That’s silence?
If you read the entire article, I quoted her in the second paragraph — She opened her mouth real wide during the primary — later on, she was kept hidden and kept her mouth shut about this stuff and let it play out without objection — so she did both.
Please pardon my dust if I did not make that clear.
Not fair to zebras!
I blame B.O. for picking such a lousy spouse.
MEEEEEchelle is the biggest sell-out ever and has done NOTHING for women.
Keeping and kicking poor sick and injured women and children out of Chicago U Hospital and
lumbering in a slumlord’s mansion, while women and children freeze -
she disgusts me.

Your right. She’s the FLOTUS and Hillary is the Sec of State. But Mrs Obama has more class in her pinky toe than you numbnuts on this blog.
It is so surprising that I write a post complaining of sexism and misogyny and include the First Lady as someone on the receiving end in this instance and all you can do is insult people here.
She does? Where? When?
Bless Hillary for killing MO with kindness. I couldn’t do it.
I wouldn’t have allowed my husband to make a fool of himself, as his partner, I took a vow to love, honor and keep him from looking stupid.
hahaha
Ani-great article. I wonder what these guys are so afraid of and what does it say about them, that they need to attack the woman behind the politican, rather than the politician? Seems to me, they have a problem with strong women. I, like you, have a hard time forgiving Michelle for her ungracious comments concerning Hillary. Michelle and Barrack Obama had no idea what they were getting themselves into. They were so focused on the prize, that they failed to recognize the loneliness and hardship that comes with having the number 1 job in the world. I do wish these journalists would place the blame with the person who occupies the job, although why blame a man, when you can blame a woman–especially since he is such a nice man. (snark) Unfortunately for Barrack and Michelle, they are finding out that karma is a bitch, and the spotlight is now on them. However, I do agree with you, Obama should be held accountable for his actions and deeds, and Michelle should be held accountable for her actions and deeds.
Aww. Golly gee so sad. After all, its just a simple, typical human failing.
Who is John Galt.
Michelle Obama’s silence was deafening last year if she was a strong woman she would of stood up for what was right and spoke out about the sexist abuse shown in the primaries and GE…
However she will loose her confidence as time goes by and will be quiet and do as she is told.
Women bashing in public is a lot harder to deal with when the world is watching and listening in to every word and I guess she will feel uncomfortable and yes “karma” is a bitch.
No, Mechelle is not the type to be told to sit down and be quiet like Laura Bush was after she said in her first TV interview as First Lady that she was pro choice. She wasn’t allowed to speak her mind again. Mechelle will go off like the shrieking harpy she is judging from her past comments. She has no sense of propriety. Remember her comments about her husband’s bad smell? Imagine Martha Washington being quoted about George’s bad teeth, or FDR’s wife talking about his handicap in public. It just wasn’t done. This man was running for the office of the most powerful man in the world and she publicly belittles him. She’s a shrew.
She had to let the world know who’s in charge!
Michelle is petty, that is why she kept quiet.
Seriously? If normal people read this blog with all the snarky and inflammatory comments that you numbnuts use against your president and the First Lady it wouldn’t be hard to determine who the petty ones are.
michelle obama doesn’t care about ALL women. mo only cares about black women. sounds like a racist to me.
Yeap! agree
MO was an active participant in the sexist onslaughts against HRC. She remained silent as her husband made his lipstick and fish comments against SP and that was bad enough but she contributed to the sexist comments herself toward HRC which puts her right next to the journalists, the comedians and the pundits who bashed Hillary all throughout the campaign. What goes around comes around, every time.
Michelle Obama has been Lady Macbeth throughout her husband’s career. Her father was a precinct captain in Mayor Dailey’s Chicago. She introduced Obama to Bill Ayers, because she had interned with Bernardine Dohrn at a law school out of Princeton. She took Obama to Rev. Wright’s church. In return, her salary as a hospital administrator tripled when her husband became a senator. This is not a feminist achievement to me.
Michelle Obama seems like the typically submissive and manipulative power behind the powerful man that has become a cliche for the Democratic party and society at large. I find nothing admirable about her. This Lady Macbeth in the tabloids nonsense is part of a stigma she perpetuates and has been guilty of in the past, so I have ZERO SYMPATHY HERE.
Call her a waaaaahmbulance.
I agree with this post.
And please, no-one suggest she should run for president!! She is no Hillary, and she has no record of service to this nation.
well, neither does her husband…really.
She took Obama to Rev. Wright’s church. In return, her salary as a hospital administrator tripled when her husband became a senator. This is not a feminist achievement to me”
Of course she’s not a feminist!!!
MO did not have a clue about sexism before or during the 2008 campaign. Not sure she understands yet. Like Oprah, both Obamas are more interested in elevating AA’s than any of their other causes. That’s all they’ve done so far in the White House. While well-educated, mostly white women have made Oprah one of the wealthiest women in the world, Oprah’s big projects have to do with AA’s.
MO was not silent in her misogynistic comments about Hillary. She engaged in the smears, herself. The “…If she can’t take care of her own house…” comment was sniping and sexist. So was the comment about supporting Hillary “depending on her tone“. Do you say that about a man? I think not.
I learned a very long time ago that even more than men being fearful of a powerful woman, women are resentful and snipe at the powerful female figure.
Yes, I agree. I did not say she was silent — I opened with remarks that I would never forgive her for. She was also guilty, though, of the sin of silence later on, with the other behavior of Obama, and I said as much above.
Too many women were both abusive — both vocally and silently — of a very qualified woman, Hillary, last year. It was a disgrace.
I don’t know. I bet you Michelle Obama was way more into the hate whitey/hate America church more than Obama was. I thought the Obama/Kenya thing was more likely and personal than Michelle Obama’s general hatred toward British hegemony.
But then again look at Reverend Wright, still obsessing over the Roman empire and “garlic noses”.
Even if that were so, that does not excuse his sitting there for 20 years– if he is such a great leader, who did he not “lead” himself out of an inappropriate venue for the post-racial candidate?
oh, it’s not an excuse for Obama. I have no doubt Obama loved the street cred that came along with being one of the up and ups at Trinity. I was just saying that I think Michelle was more of a “true believer”. But Michelle hasn’t had to contend the constant right wing assault that Hillary dealt with.
Unlike Michelle, the right hated that Hillary was smart and ambitious like her husband, and considered a threat. Michelle is just a hate whitey/hate america type who is more socially ambitious than professionally or politically ambitious.
The Obama’s must be a psychoanalysists wet dream!
I seriously doubt the Obama’s will make it four years without some sort of a serious mental breakdown by one or both of them.
Narcissists just can’t keep it up (pun?) when it comes to fooling a nation and MicHELLe is just a plain nasty person.
Does the collective psyche really forgive her for hating America and whitey? Does the collective psyche really want to play dumb about BuWhack for four years?
With a Rasmussen number of 38% strongly approving of President Erkel, it would appear that that is not the case.
He is most certainly not a leader.He reminds me of the Robert Redford character in the Candidate.
I truly think both the Obamas are to be pitied. It is transparent to me how unprepared for all this they are. Sure they do constant photo shoots as the media pushes their insipid narrative.This country isn’t in the shape or the mood for their ineptitude and they don’t have years but months to right this ship.
I get what you’re saying about the easy going husband and strong wife deal. I’ve been living it for over 20 years.That said the most hateful commentary I heard about Hillary was from women with professional degrees.
This sounds like a bad re-run.
While Obama has publicly talked about being bi-racial, I believe it has been reported that in one or more of his books he writes about identifying more with his AA side than his white side. Like most AA’s, Michelle still struggles with the negative issues of being AA, aka, her masters program thesis on being black at Yale University. (It was Yale, wasn’t it?)
Actually, I was wondering why, if Obama was so stressed and tired, that Michelle had not taken up the responsibility of helping select the gifts for the Browns. I don’t know if that is sexist, but it does seem that the first lady is there to help out the first man in situations such as these. If he didn’t have time to buy presents, what was she doing? According to MO, she is first mom. Well, that certainly is not taking up all of her time as the first daughters are in school. Why did she not have time to purchase gifts? Maybe the role of first lady is sexist in some way, but she does have a responsibility to the nation (as does he) to represent the people of this country in an honorable way. If he is not capable, then she needs to step in and do the right thing. That’s my opinion.
Will Michelle relate to what Hillary’s been subject to all these years?
I think the abuse of Michelle may get worse than Hillary’s. But maybe not. Unless she’s kept in a closet somewhere and not allowed to speak. I have noticed she’s out and about, but we haven’t heard a word in the MSM of what she says. Maybe they’re protecting her from critics. Ya think?
You just never hear Hillary critizing other women and I respect her so much for that.
Right! The Obama campaign wanted to pit Hillary against Sarah Palin and Hillary refused that slimey assignment. Bill Clinton was also quite gracious about Palin. I loved that about them.
You just never hear Hillary critizing other women and I respect her so much for that.
So true and when you are comfortable with yourself as Hillary is there is no bitterness towards others…
MO has a long way to go.
I appreciate your comments defending Michelle, but my feeling is that they were given a responsibility when they accepted the position of President and First Lady. I get it that it would be hard, but she knew she was going to be greeting Mrs. Brown.
How many of us would have been appalled at the idea of giving a $15 gift for the Browns 2 children and a set of DVDs for the Browns. They should have done their homework. That is basically what they are being paid to do - and yes I know she does not actually get a salary - but this goes with the territory so to speak.
They are aware they are representing the American people. In my opinion they are more concerned with sitting for magazine covers, showing off how athletic they are and having big parties at the White House. They are having the time of their lives on our nickel and frankly, I resent it that they do not take the time to do it properly and exhibit a measure of class that we can be proud of.
I for one, cannot give her a pass. She should have been just as ready as he was for this visit - If they didn’t know what to do, they darn sure should have found out and done it properly.
I appreciate your comments — she should not be excused for anything — but likewise, pundits do not get to practice the sexist claptrap of blaming her only to absolve him.
Sexism is sexism and this pattern of finding the woman at fault for what the man is doing - i.e., Rev. Wright and so on, is unjust — and we perpetuate this cycle of keeping women down by compounding what is already their legitimate responsibility by making them responsible for their husband’s too.
I will be curious to see, over time, if these types of accusations continue, will Obama’s supporters, in the name of protecting him — likewise try to blame her. It would fit the pattern.
I went back and re-read the article. I do agree with you that she should not be the only one to be faulted for the extreme rudeness to the Brits just to get him off the hook - and I see where you get that from the article. However, it does make him look more the fool if one agreed that she was calling the shots on this.
Ani - Unfortunately, Michelle will get blamed by a lot of people and as a Narcissist, BO will eventually start picking on her in public to deflect the attention off of him.
Also, how do you know that Michelle didn’t say something to BO in passing and BO misinterpreted what she said? This happens with Narcissist also. They hear one thing and put a spin on it to mean whatever they want. This way they don’t get the blame but they do a “But you told me to”.
Anyway, on another blog, they mentioned that a staffer said that Britain is not any different from any of the other countries and they don’t understand why Britain expected any special type of treatment. I forgot to mark that website but it makes sense, the staffers are not experienced in international protocol.
I just had a vision of Michelle going into the kitchen and emptying the utensil drawer into a bag as a present to Prime Minister Francois Fillon or President Nicolas Sarkozy when either of them come to visit.
Imagine Meechelle standing next to Carla Bruni Sarkozy, the former supermodel. And I am looking forward to their visit to France soon. I wonder what the French fashion press are going to say about Meechelle’s “style”. It’s going to be very amusing. Either they will try to come up with something nice to say, and fail, or they are going to shred her. One thing is for sure, no way is her hubby going to introduce himself as the man who accompanied her to Paris, as JFK famously did with Jackie.
It does not appear that they think that they represent the American people. To them the American people are just dummies to be manipulated and robbed.
They have a title president and first lady, that is all that is important to them. What do you mean she is supposed to have duties? If she has to do something she wants a paycheck. They are and always will be users not doers.
WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS
PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
The have a protocol office in the White House, don’t they. That staff should have researched appropriate gifts for the Browns and presented them to Barack or Michelle for approval.
As to the woman blaming didn’t that start with Eve? Another good reason to outlaw any and all “religions” that treat women as less than equal or the blame for all that is wrong with humankind.
I think HRC has already forgiven her knowing what is in store for her. Hillary is a staunch supporter of the “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” philosophy if it serves her well politically. That is is not an insult but a credit to her judgment. It will be interesting to see the ceremony tomorrow at the State Department honoring International Women’s Day.

Here is another example of Hillary’s magnanimity huddling with Susan Rice today in the Oval Office.

“I think HRC has already forgiven her knowing what is in store for ‘
Might be that Hillary has just moved on with real important issues in high politics, Michelle and her comments are insignificant, petty, small. Michelle talk is a substitute for the Hollywood star chatter, nothing more, imo.
Interesting observation.
I can’t help hearing a little well deserved snickering in the champagne coming from the Clinton’s, McCain’s, and Palin’s.
Here, I’ll raise my glass of wine and snicker, too! Buwhack and MicHELLe deserve every nasty thing that comes their way. The Chicago/socialism plague they have brought on this country is rebounding already. Yes, Karma is indeed a relentless bitch.
MicHELLe’s first fifty days? Who gives a flying rip? It’s just 50 days less of having to put up with her and her worthless husband.
Michelle said she’d “have to think about it – it would “depend on her tone.”

The candidate’s wife voiced her reticence in an interview shown Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” while the Illinois senator barnstormed the Northeast on the last day before Super Tuesday.
Asked if she could see herself working to support Clinton should she be the nominee, Michelle Obama replied, “I’d have to think about that.”
Thanks so much, Mr. Mike. If you don’t mind, I’ll add the link you provided to the article so no one can practice revisionist history here — I watched her say this myself. I appreciate your saving me the time of looking this up again. You are a champ.
You’re welcome, Ani. I know I shouldn’t have responded in kind to Crip’s post but I plead lateness of the hour.
Please — I really do appreciate it — I added the link you provided above.
The only thing more infuriating than having lived through the abominable treatment Hillary and her supporters received is having people come here now and practice revisionist history and pretend nothing of the sort happened.
Shame on them for not having the courage to at least admit the truth.
I find that the video of Obama stroking his jaw with his middle finger as he mentions Hillary shuts them down for a while.
I’ll have to remember that!
Teresa Kerry got the same treatment. Mrs. McCain got bashed a lot, though more for her money than for any McBethian behavior, sfiak.
Are you saying you’re in a retarded kindergarten or that your pretending to be a grown-up?
Not sure your intent or request needs any sort of response given the form it was stated.
However, if you would like to speak as a concerned American rather than an Obot, your request may be taken seriously.

In anticipation of your clever riposte, which is here invariably “go find the quote your own self, do your own homework ,duhh huuh,”—
You already know that this is bullshit. It’s not anyone’s job to prove that it wasn’t said, it’s yours to prove that it was said, so put up or shut up.
And in anticipation of your clever riposte that I’m “trying to restrict free speech, boo hoo”, remember that you’re free to run your yap, but not protected from laughter at the outcome of that speech or protected from being revealed as a liar (probably an oversight on the part of the framers of the bill of rights).
It’s your argument, DEFEND IT!
How much per word does Obama pay no-a-days. I lost my OT due to the slow down and could use some extra income.
I understand the going troll rate is now $5 per completed “conversation.”
geesh, where the he** were you during the primaries.. that clip of the interview was shown repeatedly.
This isn’t my argument, but I’m going to jump right in since I have time to research a little. I posted a Politico article, but there are other references to her comments.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Michelle_will_think_about_backing_Hillary.html
Michelle will “think about” backing Hillary
On GMA this morning, Michelle Obama seemed not quite to commit to supporting Hillary if her husband loses the nomination — a mark of the real rancor between the camps.
ROBERTS: So what if Senator Clinton defeats her husband, becoming the first woman nominee.
ROBERTS: Could you see yourself working to support the first woman nomination?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I’d have to think about that. I’d have to think about that, her policies, her approach, her tone.
You seem to be claiming you are a widow. Prove it.
You are claiming to be from Burbank. Prove it.
You seem to be claiming you are crippled. Prove it.
Oh, yeah….your posts have already done that.
It’s your name, DEFEND IT!
Nicely done QueenofHearts, I laughed so hard I fell out of my wheelchair and knocked over the urn that held my wife’s ashes. At least I’m not in Burbank; life is good.
You’ve had the link posted twice. Once to the actual video with her saying it and to a news article on it. To sit here and argue below the actual video link makes you look like a fool. Especially since it’s a video of Michelle herself saying it.
When all is said and done, after much examination and deliberation, over a protracted length of time I have concluded that I simply do not like Michelle Obama.
I find her disingenuous bore. Nothing I have observed of this woman has given me a feeling of trust, a feeling of a shared sisterhood, a feeling of shared womanhood. Instead I see a cold, calculating, manipulative woman with a huge chip on her shoulder, a sense of entitlement and a gauche effeteness…She seems uncomfortable in her own skin and somehow, this must be a result of white society!
As a woman, I have always found Hillary’s treatment deplorable, but when this behavior comes from or is condoned by another woman it is unforgivable!
In my opinion, Michelle deserves everything, that comes her way, and it cannot come soon enough!
Well said, chris! Brava!
Read in the news this morning that Obama is appointing Jarrett to head a newly formed white House office on Women issues.
Valerie Jerrett? Oh, Christ.
It’s your mental fugue, Cripple.
Great post. Interesting read! Thanks!
Are you saying you’re in a retarded kindergarten or that your pretending to be a grown-up?
Thanks, Buzz, for that first contribution to what is going to be, if recent hstory is any guide, a never ending list of cowardly nonanswers to a simple question.
That’s one.
Answer the question.
I answered the question about the quotes, Crip, it’s appended to your first insult.
That puppy must be getting paid by the word.
Do not engage. Save your sanity.
>>> “I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”
Heaven Forbid that the woman might consider that those about her at Princeton may have simply considered her rude, uncultured, unqualified, loud or, simply, an a**hole…it must ALWAYS be about race, mustn’t it?
I find MicHELLe tedious and unaware of her own sociopathic and paranoid tendencies.
Thank you! A nice, succint summary which civilizes my own conclusions, without my own blunt argot.
Comprehend it as you wish, Bot.
I refer you to MrMike’s response up thread?
By they way, are you getting any help for those anger issues?
How much per word does Obama pay no-a-days. I lost my OT due to the slow down and could use some extra income.

As soon as I saw Crip’s post the first thing came to mind was why are they back?
Could it be that Tony or Roddy has let slip a juicy tidbit to Pat Fitzgerald?
Are they flexing their typing fingers to troll that news into oblivion?
It’s full moon. The more unstable bots have pulled annoyance duty.
I would like to think that Fitzgerald has been given some sort of green light to rip Obama a new one, but rather think the bots are out because Obama is doing no better than other presidents at this time after their respective inaugurations.
The controversies have begun and are taking a toll on the anointed one’s facade.
Asked if she could see herself working to support Clinton should she be the nominee, Michelle Obama replied, “I’d have to think about that.”
“I’d have to think about that, her policies, her approach, her tone,” she said.
Thanks, Mr Mike. As I suggested, the sense of what she said is better reflected by an accurate transcript of what she said.
Which leaves us to wonder: what sense is meant to be suggested by those who provide an inaccurate transcript of what she said? What are you afraid of?
Don’t bother to answer, we already know: you are afraid of the truth.

This business of the gifts and her statements made on Good Morning America reflects on their upbringing.
I come from working class Italian roots.
Good manners and a civil tounge were instilled with a bar of Fels Naptha brown laundry soap liberally (in my case) to the mouth. It got to where I would just thake the bar and bite a chunk out of it.
Anyway, if they had dicipline at home they’ve forgotten it.
Good manners, what a lost art. It remains to be seen if one of the problems plaguing the Obama regime is the inability to ask for help or take direction.
This is just as insulting in full context — so don’t try to practice revisionist history here. Hillary Clinton has not only carried the water for the Democratic Party very effectively for 35 years, but she has worked tirelessly on behalf of children, women’s rights, women’s health and reproductive rights, the rights of first responders, veteran’s benefits and education and more.
The Obama’s have done nothing that approached that level of accomplishment or walking the walk — Hillary’s good “tone” has been well established over the years by all the positive actions she has taken to help people and Michelle Obama well knew it when making her comments.
Hear, Hear, Ani!
The Obama’s are not even close to the same league as the Clinton’s when it comes to public service, accomplishment, or love of this country.
When you play with fire you eventually get burned. And both Obamas just keep adding more fuel to the flames.
We actually have no ideal what sort of “accomplishments” the Obamas have made because their lives are secret. We know that his associations, both politically and socially, include more shady characters than Ken Starr could dig up in his 8 year investigation of that little real estate deal in Arkansas but for some reason it’s perfectly all right with Democrats and Republicans for the Obamas to maintain friendships with real criminals (Rezko) and bigots (Wright); while his Arab associations (Auchi) would have earned most a stay in Gitmo to sort them out.
One other important point, both graduated from law school and yet one never practiced (Obama, feet up on his desk writing his book), and one was kept from practicing by the Court. Only in this alternate universe we’re now living in would that be considered a plus for a pseudo-leader and his wife.
Actually, Obummer did practice law. He was the one who sued the banks on ACORN’s behalf in 1995 to force them to lend money to people unqualified for loans under the bank guidelines. So he was instrumental in bringing about the current mortgage crisis, at least the part where people bought more house than they could afford.
FLDemFem. I concur. Please copy and save this link so that you will have irrefuteable proof to substantiate your comments. Obama’s is listed as an attorney I believe on page 3.

Crip, without expressing insight into the substance of MO’s comments, which is the point of the passage that aroused your ire, you appear to be rigidly preoccupied with the narrow constraints of style. Sort of like, noticing the trains are running on time but ignoring they are full of Jews on their way to the ovens.
Brilliant. That about sums it up. Amazing how the bot element comes out when they feel threatened — this piece sort of gave Michelle a bit of a break — but it’s eerie how they can’t even admit anything less than total perfection about the One and his spouse.
More like the wagons are over weight and tearing up the rails.
Crippled Burbank Widow -
How about a simple “Yes” or “I’d gladly support her”?
Oh, that wouldn’t occur to someone as thick as you, who clearly was in rehab the past year and missed the whole series of hate filled comments ala MEEEEchelle.

That’s enough for me: eight ignorant sidesteps of the fact that the quote wasn’t accurate and a single ignorant huffing and puffing cite which revealed the quote to be something entirely different than what what it had been represented to be.
Nice work, No Quarter.
What a worthless piece of ignorant sh*t you are! So you can count all the way to eight and no farther? The only side-stepping done in this thread was done by you. You have been proven wrong more than eight times, yet do not have the sense to realize it. Apparently it’s time for you to stop side-stepping and get back to your goose-stepping.
You are completely delusional. I am more and more in favor of an intelligence test to earn the right to vote.
There is a huge difference between michelle and Hillary. Michelle actually deserves the name they gave her. michelle’s behavior was completely ungracious. All this woman has wanted to do is push her husband to the top, consideration, tact, like her fashion sense is not her forte.
I thought her designer was that Clarence Rack guy at Wal-Mart.
LOL!!! That’s definitely funny!
No, she has a designer who started out designing for Rupaul dolls and transexuals. Seriously.

Here are some of his doll clothes designs..Rupaul dolls and someone called Monsieur Z dolls. All designed by Jason Wu.

You know how Michelle likes to wear a sweater/cardigan over a blouse, with a belt around the waist (and her sleeves pushed up like she’s about to wash the dishes)? Not a new style. On a rerun of the Golden Girls that I watched tonight, Rose’s blind sister was wearing that very outfit.
What was the thought behind returning the bust of Winston Churchill by Obama?
What was the thinking behind sending the bust of Winston Churchill back to Great Britain by Obama?
And what went in it’s place, a bust of Marx?
I believe I agree with you in principle, ani and specifically re the Browngate, I’m still pretty confused. There are two choices, right? This was a deliberate snub by the POTUS to not only the British Prime Minister, but also the people or the Obamas and the people around them are too ignorant of International Protocol to hold the positions. Ultimately is is Obama’s responsibility and what ever damage is done to the relationship between our countries he will own it and have to deal with it. I doubt MO will ever have to face what Hillary went through because Hillary holds a unique position in our history. Eleanor Roosevelt is the only other first lady to have any where near the activist record Hillary has always had. Michele may have written a Princeton paper on the Black experience, but she was never active in the Civil Rights movement or even involved personally in any real cause. She was too busy nursing her grievance against society to care about women’s rights. I wonder who will write the speech she gives for Women’s History Month?
The galloping groper?
You might be able to blame MEchelle for this. I saw Barack Obama on letterman in the early days of the primary and Letterman said he’s heard that Barack quit smoking. Barack answered, yes, I did and everyone is keeping me honest because my wife has told the entire world that if they catch me smoking to tell her and he didn’t want to see that happen. Barack added, “I’m somewhat terrified of her.” At the time, I thought it was funny and it made Barack a little endearing to me (thank goodness I saw through him later), but I have often thought of him saying that and believe he probably is afraid of MEchelle. I know I am afraid of MEchelle and yes, she scares me slightly more than Obama does! There isn’t much difference though. they both scare the crap out of me. I wish I could find the letterman clip, but so far, no luck. It would be so appropriate for this post!
Oh, well, here’s an article where it’s quoted. He is terriefied of MEchelle. I believe he truly is. Who wouldn’t be????
I didn’t see the Letterman show, but I believe if you want the truth from Obama, you need to turn anything he says backward and upside down. It’s difficult to be sure about what happens in a marriage even if it’s very public. I’m certainly not defending her and there is enough information to reach some conclusion of her character that is unfavorable. But the article by Delingpole is letting Obama off the hook too easily and he is too ready to blame her and that isn’t uncommon.
Oh, well, here’s an article where it’s quoted. He is terrified of MEchelle. I believe he truly is. Who wouldn’t be????

The trolls are back tonight. I wonder if it’s the full moon or part of the overall campaign to silence criticism? This one sounds really familiar.
I agree with the thrust of this post. But I must say I can muster almost no sympathy for Michelle Obama. She was nasty to Clinton. Overtly. One her own with no help from Barry. If she is going to dish it out then guess what - she gets the blow back.
THe fact is that Hilary got the “shrew” moniker unfairly. But Hillary is a strong force on her own.She injected herself into policy - and I supported every bit of it.
She was attacked for her forceful policy stances as much as anything. Michelle is just background noise. Unpleasant background noise.
I can certainly understand your lack of sympathy. I admit I cannot muster any either, but as I am working on a book on sexism in re the election, it would be disingenuous not to comment on this.
It is irritating that the man here, Obama, has protectors at every turn trying to make excuses for him by making Michelle to be the more evil of the two. While one does not have to have sympathy for her, this pattern is disturbing and didn’t begin here and won’t end here.
How refreshing to just let an adult be responsible for their own actions. The double standard women put up with in this regard is ridiculous.
First, the Churchill statue and now the Brown snub. It does begin to look like deliberate malfeasance on the Obama regime’s part.
Whether MicHELLe is a player is beside the point. It is just poor form and ignorance.
Let’s face it, husband or wife, the Obama’s have no class. Just like in leadership, it is the person and not the party who makes or breaks a great leader, in how gracious or classy a person is is all about the person. Sex is not the factor here.
Barry and MEchelle are the least Presidential couple to ever sit in the White House.
I have a feeling the Obama regime can only go down from here.
They are the Affirmative Action duo. President Urkel and Ugly Wanda Urkel.
Heavy sigh…
Well it looks like the Obamas are finally getting what they deserve. Tit For Tat.
Valerie Jarret is a snake in the grass,…plain and simple.
I live in Chicago…I know…!
So now Bam Bam is establishing a White House office on women’s issues headed by Valerie Jarrett?
He flipped Hillary off..
and now it’s time to give the rest of us the royal mind fuck!
I dislike Obama and I dislike his officious dim-witted lilliputian-like staff…
Great post Ani!
I totally agree that regardless of who she is, HE is the responsible one, he is the Pres. You made really great points.
but, I agree with the other points that she was the one who introduced him to Wright, Ayers, etc. She is the radical one, with a wimpy husband, IMO…. She led him around by his nose. He is always telling us how critical she is of him.
That doesn’t excuse him at all, for his behaviors in the WH, and role as POTUS, and you are right that the paper trying to excuse him, by blaming her, is wrong.
We know there is PLENTY to blame her for. hahaha Anyone who threatens to scratch out Bill Clinton’s eyes, and says she is not proud of her country, or who says *if you can’t take care of your own house.* (I wanted to scratch her eyes out for that one! haha) warrants her own criticism.
As he warrants his own.
“While I may have reason to protest her behavior on certain fronts, I will always be aware to credit or blame her with what is hers, and not pretend that she wields all the power here.” Right on!
She may in the private residence, but NOT in the oval office. She is not the fall gal, for his failures. He can do that all on his own.
All of you fail to remember that Michelle was the band director along with Jessie Jackson Jr and Clyburn in turning blacks against Hillary and Bill by playing the lying race card in SC. She went all around SC telling black people to “wake up”. She said that white people in Iowa had shown they were willing to vote for an AA now it was “their turn”. As Hillary was leading 65% in SC before the primary Michelle said on TV that she knew that blacks would finally wake up. When the polls still showed a big lead for Hillary, they played the race card real hard and spoke in codes that only blacks would understand. I know because I am an AA. BTW I personally can’t stand Michelle.
Yes!!! and look what that code got us and them next time let’s hope they listen to real talk….
Hope there all satisfied and hows those house payments going for them?? and car payments wonder how many are still looking in the mail box!
their not there…. Typo Queen ~~
I’m not certain I agree with the thesis of this article. I think MO has been cut a lot of slack and actually has been allowed a free ride on many of the issues you raised. I don’t think it is sexist to say that, as First Lady, she is not doing her job.
There are separate roles for the President and the First Lady to play. They are traditionally the roles that men and women have played in our society. It is the First Lady’s (and her staff’s) responsibility to get protocol and decorum right. That is not the role of the President. It also is the First Lady’s responsibility to hire people to fill her staff positions who know something about manners, decorum and international protocol. It seems to me that she has failed in that role and for that she should be criticized and held accountable. She, not the President, made us look bad.
On another note, I was surprised to hear anyone say she dresses well. As far as I can tell, she does her fashion shopping in the upholstery section of some interior designer’s loft. The woman is an embarrassment all around. That outfit she wore to the Inauguration looked like she had it made from the 1970’s curtains at a Holiday Inn. While I don’t think women should be evaluated on their appearance, MO is representing this country and everything she does and how she looks is a reflection on all of us. The First Lady is much more than the person in that role; it is the social, state face of our nation. How she treats people and how she looks is a reflection on us. So, far she is doing a very bad job and that isn’t sexist; that is a job performance evaluation….
Ani, I enjoy your writing style, but on this one I have an opposing view.
The passage from the thesis indicates an attitude, on the part of the aggrieved, that no white person could remedy.
Secondly, for years in the corporate world, the wives of potential employees were interviewed as well, to evaluate their civic-mindedness and their ability to present a positive face on behalf of the company.
We do not vote for the wives, but they should be capable of a positive roll in advancing good causes for the populace.
We got duds in both these people!
Thanks so much for your comment. Actually nothing that you are saying conflicts with what I am saying.
Obviously, Michelle Obama must bear responsibility for her behavior. My point is that the press does not get to make HER responsible for HIS behavior — he is a grown man and the President of the United States.
Can you imagine: their article accused HER of being behind the slight of Gordon Brown — just like Chris Matthews and Chris Hitchens accused HER or keeping HIM in Wright’s church for 20 years.
It is outrageous — bias is stil bias whether we like Michelle Obama or not — Barack Obama is responsible for his own actions, he is suppsoed to be the POTUS, not some goofy “henpecked husband.” I
I am not going to give him a pass on anything he does so he can stay nobly above the fray — he blamed everyone else for everything else during the campaign — NOW the press wants to blame his WIFE for his bad behavior. Sorry. Whatever she is guilty of — I’m not buying that he gets off scott free here. These are HIS decisions. He is the elected official here.
This is a man / woman thing. The pundit class is constantly looking for the “Lady Macbeth” story — this is old behavior and she will get more of it.
As the new POTUS and first lady–first state visit by our most trusted ally no less–they both should have made sure the gifts were appropriate. Remember, she met with Mrs. Brown, so she’s not completely out of this. The SF Chronicle featured an article yesterday about BO embarrassing America. Does anyone recalled how Sarah Palin’s husband was demonized by the press–accused of fathering his grandchild. MO–welcome to the real world of politics!
The brits are getting a bit ridiculous blaming Michelle for it. “Lady MacBeth”? Oh, pullleeze.
Good call, Ani.
I can’t believe they could be so inept and incompetent during Brown’s visit. It’s really disconcerting, considering that his staff aren’t rubes from a country town–they’re all experienced politicians. They didn’t know about the gift-exchange, or a press conference with the two? What? They’ve never watched television, and noticed that whenever a dignitary visits, Bush would be on tv doing his little song and dance?
ferchrisesakes.
Michelle Obama is not at fault for the pathetic faux pas during Gordon Brown’s visit. That crude fumble is an arrogance eminating from this President, and his staff. It was a stunning stumble, but it is just another in a growing list of stumbles. NOT READY ON DAY ONE. But the really stunning thing is that his staff blamed it on a president who’s “exhausted” from dealing with….wait for it…..being President!
Personally, I don’t buy any of it. I think it was an intentional slight, borne out of arrogance. They’re lying. I don’t trust a word from these Chicago mafia boys. They know exactly what they were doing. I’m not really sure of the reasons, except that the back story on the financial implosion probably has something to do with it.
I AM DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF MO. BUT maybe she should have been the one to run instead of Obama. At least we know that her parents were American, and she was born in this country. I suspect there is even a real birth certificate for her, and I think we probably have actually seen her college records (did she finish paying back that student loan that she complained about?)…and we do know she passed the bar exam after the second try (like Hillary). As for Obama…there are some serious doubts about all these things. Some have actually taken to calling him….THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE.
The Al-Mansourian Candidate.
There.. fixed it for you
As an aside I couldn’t help cracking in a BTR chat the other night that I wonder if the Brits will send Michelle a DVD of Lady Macbeth? In the wrong format of course.
Mrs. Obama may yet understand what it means to take care of her own house – ‘cause right now it’s not looking so good.
- Exactly.
She is going to regret that comment for the rest of her life because we can see now how hypocritical it is.
I get what you are saying Ani, well written, but MO gets no sympathy from me.
You reap what you sow.
The choice of gifts the Obamas’ gave to Brown and his children were pretty “trailer trashy”. Brown’s gift to Obama and his children were very well thought out.
Am I missing something or is Michelle one homely ass woman?
Go Ani go! Little did the Obamatons believe that the very MSM that lofted and ran protection for them all the way through the election would so quickly turn on them. CNBC, a channel full of idiots who’ve never read anything more than Ayn Rand, has declared war on him. And drawing silly attention to yourself by wearing sleeveless dresses in February only lets everyone know you’re an attention whore, not a fashion leader.
I’m amazed that MO and BO and the obamatrons didn’t think their precious MSM would turn on them as soon as it was convenient. In their eyes, it’s always 1994.
from just that bit that was shown from her thesis, sounds to me like michelle is suffering from low self-esteem and blaming others for it.
I hope Michele Obama will keep getting all the bad criticism she deserves. I don’t have any sympathy for her either. There are women and ‘women’ and some deserve what they get, even a black eye. I am sick and tired of reading this ‘poor us women… we always get all the blame… etc. etc.”
By the way, I am a woman and I don’t feel the men’s world is against me. Never had that problem.
Today, the president signed an executive order to create the Inter-Departmental Agency for Women and Girls. Later that day, Sec Clinton invited Mrs Obama to the State Dept to honor women from around the world who fight for and support women’s rights. They are putting aside past issues for the common good, while you numbnuts continue to hate on the First Lady simply because her husband beat Hillary. If Hillary were aware for the tripe you post on this blog, she’d either condemn or dismiss you. Like it or not, America is moving forward. Either get over your hate and get on the train or continue to pout and hate like the petulant children you’ve become.

AOK. We have always known that Hillary was a gracious and forgiving woman that is why we love and respect her. Sorry we can’t say the same for your lying, race-baiting MEEchelle. I am AA and I assure you I don’t “hate” her or anyone. However, I marched with MLK during my college days and I do despise her race baiting tactics, her arrogance, her lying, her secretiveness, and other negative traits. In fact there is absolutely nothing I admire or like about her or her husband.
Personally, I could care less if you were AA or not. It has no bearing on this discussion. Answer this questions: When and where did all the lies, race baiting, deceit, arrogance, secretiveness and other negative traits occur? And please be specific.
Go look for yourself were tired of doing the work for you : some work hard to keep our house in order it’s about time you did the same.
It’s out there go find it it will keep you busy for a while.
I looked at just about every internet news article, real and imagined, that you PUMAs have been bleating about. There’s nothing that seemed out of the ordinary. Yet you PUMAs seem to favor the anti-Obama articles that were posted by people with no real credibility and no insight to the Obamas. These people hate them just like you do but have not gathered the requisite evidence to prove their allegations. It’s very simple, prove your case. That’s all. If you want to shut me up, prove me wrong.
“Answer this questions: When and where did all the lies, race baiting, deceit, arrogance, secretiveness and other negative traits occur? And please be specific …”
Are you describing Michelle? Perhaps the picture of her happily seated on a panel with close friends Mrs. Louis Farrakhan and the like? What has Michelle done for anyone or any organization outside of her racist groups and congregations (before she was forced to be someone else as First Lady, that is).
You’re kidding right?
A up to OK:
Swallow your own writing AOK! Don’t you see your own hypocrisy! Oh, right, you’re to righteous to even see it. Follow MO’s advice and get your own house in order.
Stop the lovefest!
It’s not about righteousness. It’s about reality. Something which you PUMAs refuse to face. Much like the hapless Republicans.
well as long as you’re ok with the reality out there clear off and stop littering the isles
So tell us AOK - What do you think of the way the Obamas treated the Browns on their visit to our country and the White HOuse? Do you approve of how they handled it?
Isn’t the UK Telegraph owned by Rupert Murdoch? If so, I can hardly take anything they say with a grain of salt. Also, as with any mistakes, they can always be corrected. But with any issues concerning the President and First Lady, you PUMAs seem to make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. And that’s to your detriment.
This ^^^ coming from the first mate of the USS Kool-aid! LOL!!!
Where do they get these bots?
Reality? Seriously AOK you should look up the meaning of reality!!
Not so much.
Hey A up you OK:
Got a few earmarks for ya where would you like me to send them:-)
