Oh cynic..you are getting worse every day…she was involved in an insurance scam with her friends who are now on Barack’s inner circle. When a lawyer gets bunked they seal official files as part of the deal. You will never read ‘officially’ on a website. Ask another attorney in Chicago to find out for you. That is what we had to do.
Just like Barack said on 4 separate occasions four different ways…I have no records of my eight years as an Illinois State Legislator..look it up and read his excuses for the ‘disappearing’ act…

I guess we will go one with the Patriarchal standards of beauty when it comes to women. I actually don’t appreciate any comments about Michelle Obama in regards to how she looks, dresses or walks. I find it no different than the hate filled patriarchal BS that Hillary Clinton endured or even Sarah Palin.
I also do not understand why the Media persists in some high school drama regarding women who are either powerful or married to powerful men. It always seems to me that people have never resolved their adolescent insecurities and need to replay them constantly. It is time to get a life demanding more from ourselves.

I didn’t condemn her, Elise. I said that her past was less than classy. I don’t think she’s fabulous and a role model, that’s all.

She’s good looking and I like her clothes. I wish her the best.

I agree with everything you say Anna. Men are held to a different standard and I also have a problem the way women are depicted in the media. I think what I have trouble with is condemning another woman for choices she made based on what she has learned society expected of her. This pic and others were taken before she married and hopefully, she has grown as a woman and understands that while she is blamed for the pics, the ones who used her to sell mags or clothes will not be or the ones who have purchased the mags to drool over her pics. I would hate for someone to bring up some of the choices I made as a young woman and judge me on that basis. There is a wonderful quote from Alice In Wonderland: ” But it’s no use going back to yesterday. I was a different person then.”

So, what were the circumstances that led her to agree to suspend her practice of law in Illinois? Misconduct had nothing to do with it.

She was not actually disbarred. Her Illinois Registration Status reads: “Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law–Last Registered Year: 1993.” A further comment exists, which has fueled much speculation: “No malpractice report required as attorney is on court ordered inactive status.” You can see that all on the official ARDC website page here:

http://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=974460005

The comment many have jumped on doesn’t actually imply any sort of wrongdoing. All it refers to is the fact that, prior to 2000, an Illinois attorney had to obtain formal consent of the Illinois Supreme Court to cease practice. Granting of that consent took the form of a court order. The entry simply means that Michelle Obama sought that consent, and it was granted.

As the linked reference below reveals, if any sort of disciplinary action had been involved, it would be so stated on the ARDC entry. The relevant entry space clearly indicates that this was not the case.

Cynic..there you go again..Mrs Obama is a disbarred attorney. She was faced with a tough decision..give up law in Illinois voluntarily or be exposed as the fraud she is.
It has to be an egregious event that would bar an attorney from practicing law in Illinois. You may want to see what happened to her law license before you speak. My suggestion for you would be …maybe you should stop commenting on what you feel or wish and take a look at reality.

Yeah, here we are again. We can all love Carla Bruni because she’s HOT. That’s all us womenfolk are good for anyway, right?

And yet there she is–with her “bad clothes” and “ape-like walk”–in the White House and on the world stage. Apparently your perceptions of Barack Obama, his intentions, and his family are not shared by a majority of Americans, so your contempt–verging sometimes on outright hatred–has grown to include not only the first family, but a majority of your fellow Americans as well.

I’m sorry you feel that way, but have no suggestions useful to anyone who is determined to draw all of their energy from anger, hostility, and resentment. I’ll only comment that it may eventually burn you out.

Oh God …how pathetic you are. Carla is plain ol’ beautiful to look at with all the glamour and pizzizz that makes up a damn starlet…and MOBO is NOT…end of story! End of story.

Who is more gracious? Carla…she doesn’t have ape like walk or demeanor, unlike MOBO…and that does alot for general appeal, no doubt. But of course then comes the ingracious statement of not being proud of her country…let alone building a career (like Oboobi to) in trying to destroy this country and all whites in it….that does nothing for her overall graciousness and likability for me and many others. She never accomplished anything–even with all the help of the poverty pimps in the world.

You are ridiculous. Plenty of people born in poverty rise up and conduct themselves with grace and dignity. And, yes, in the AA community. Stop excusing this garbage all the time. She is evil, hate filled, and she got a free ride to Harvard off us “whitey” folks she pisses on all day. Read her illiterate thesis? The same society she craps on gave her a chance and free ride. She repaid it with hate. Did you see how she treated Hillary? There is no excuse for this pig. None. And she sure as hell will never be First Lady material. What a joke.

Right. While Carla Bruni was born to great wealth and privilage, was blessed by nature with an uncommon beauty, attended exclusive boarding schools in Switzerland, and completed her higher education in Paris, Michelle Obama was the great-great grandaughter of a slave, grew up on the blighted south side of Chicago, and somehow managed to find her way to Princeton University, Harvard Law School, and eventually the White House.

So, we admire Ms. Bruni’s accomplishments–idolize her, almost, having been stunned by her person–but are unrelentingly harsh in our judgements of Ms. Obama, deeming everything about her from her appearance to her personal accomplishments comtemptible, inauthentic, and not up to our high standards.

There’s something about this that strikes me as a sort of shabby, patently false elitism. The falseness of it is revealed when we make the assumption that Ms. Bruni shares the sentiment.
