America’s Unhappiest Millionaire: Michelle Obama’s gospel of misery
National Review ^ | May 5, 2008 | Yuval Levin

Posted on 05/05/2008 8:28:51 PM PDT by Alouette

By her husband’s logic, Michelle Obama must be a heavily armed xenophobic religious zealot, because boy is she bitter. This C-SPAN video of a speech delivered by Mrs. Obama in North Carolina last Friday is characteristic of her peculiar recent performances on the stump. It is an hour-long talk to supporters who just want something to cheer about, and who get some opportunities at the outset, but then find themselves treated to a profoundly and relentlessly negative vision of American life.

But whether you are highly educated multi-millionaires or not, in Michelle Obama’s America, chances are you’re afraid, isolated, and hopeless.

Very funny---thanks for posting this.

THAT was funny!
Last month I had subbed in a very rowdy inner city class.About ten black girls clustered around each other,cussing,grinding on each other’s desks and basically acting like loud obnoxious jackasses.
The three young black men in the class were quietly chatting up the Asian hotties in the back of the room,totally oblivious to the “sisters”.
But watch.Ten years from now those same out of control black girls will be whining about”Where are the good black men at?Probably out chasing white and Asian hos”
Like Ice Cube said,my sisters-”Check yourself before you wreck yourself”

LOL. I got so fed up with her pissing and moaning that I told her we were two perfect examples of Liberal and Conservative:

Liberal —> world is awful, nobody has a chance, everybody is beaten down, America’s best days are behind it, woe is me, no family support
Conservative —> the future is bright, people have no limits on how high they can soar, world is your oyster, large and vibrant families.

The sick pathetic ravings of a lieberal marxist. Nothing is ever good enough, happiness i snever achieved. There is only anger fear angst bitterness and hatred in their world view. It is a life without God.

$360k?! I had no idea it was THAT much. I knew it was six figures but damn...

And here's a sweet little tidbit. Her salary went up by over 50% AFTER Barack got a 10 million dollar earmark for the Hospital she worked for........

"Michelle is actually making Hillary look good."

Scarey, isn't it? I thought for years Queen Evita was lowest of the low, but Michelle-you're-souls-are-broken Snobama bottoms Queen Evita for sheer mean cussedness. Hubby Snobama makes Queen Evita almost look pro-USA. The snobama's have accomplished something I never thought would happen, showing us there are folks even uglier in heart than Queen Evita Jezebel and King Ahab Billy Jeff.

Who actually wants this woman as a “first lady”?

These people do:

In Berzerkeley, of course.

"I wonder what would be Michelle’s pet project as first lady. All first ladies have one. What would Michelle’s be do you suppose?"

Put Obama's nads in a lockbox (if she hasn't already), and coronate herself as Queen Mean B!#&h the First (which would royall tick Hillary off, since Hillary claims that title and position for herself).

Maybe we could have a three-way death match for the Queen Mean Bitch title between Michelle, Hillary, and Pelosi.

That would be great! Shoot, add Rosie O'Donnell and have a four-way death match. With any luck, they'd all beat the daylights out of each other and we wouldn't have to listen to their gaseous mouths anymore.

I hope the whole wretched thing remains undecided until the convention ... where hildebeeste and the mohammedan throttle each other on live TV.

"I hope the whole wretched thing remains undecided until the convention ... where hildebeeste and the mohammedan throttle each other on live TV."

Me too! The only thing halfway enjoyable about this sorry election cycle is the hidebeast vs. snobama fight. I hope it goes all the way to Denver with the nastiest convention since 1968. And the two of them battle on national TV, with all their ugly tricks on display. The only thing I hope for at the GOP convention is a conservative revolt large enough for a brokered convention to put a real conservative as the nominee vice Juan McAmnesty (and I'm not holding my breath that will happen). I think come November I'll either vote Constitution Party, write in Duncan Hunter, or get my comedic side up and write in Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck.
