Picking up on the media's meme that a vast right-wing hate machine is going at full-tilt against Michelle Obama, ABCNews.com wants readers to know that the Illinois senator's wife is "more Jackie O Than Teresa [Heinz Kerry]."
The story made the "top headlines" lineup for the afternoon of June 13, along with a headline tease for recent video from Fox News Channel where an onscreen graphic labeled the mother of two as Sen. Obama's "baby mama." Online slang lexicon urbandictionary.com defines a baby mama as "The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved."
The "Michelle Obama 2.0" article begins by regaling readers with a look at life in the Obama household as given by Barack and Michelle on a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio. The Illinois senator joked about his wife speaking more endearingly of him on the campaign trail than she does behind closed doors:
"She never says such nice things about me at home!" he smiles. "I really enjoy listening to her praise me like that because when I get home she'll remind me that I didn't make the bed."
The article then continued by contrasting the domestic bliss of the young Obamas with those mean ol' conservatives dead-set on stopping the presumptive Democratic nominee by gunning for Mrs. O.:
This is the Michelle Obama that the Obama campaign wants Americans to get to know -- not the "Mrs. Grievance" depicted with an angry scowl on the cover of the conservative National Review, or "His Bitter Half," as conservative columnist Michelle Malkin called her.

Lol. According to Rasmussen, “Michelle Obama, whose husband cinched the Democratic presidential nomination last week, is rated favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 42% of voters. That latter figure includes a startling 25% who have Very Unfavorable opinion of the potential First Lady. A statistically comparable 24% view her Very Favorably. Ten percent (10%) are undecided.”
That doesn’t sound anything like Jackie O.
Ugh. I remember when Obama was elected Senator and she refered to him then as her “baby’s daddy” before his victory speech.
I couldn’t believe it. No first lady of this country should talk or use slang like some ghetto trash.
This woman is MUCH worse than Teresa Henize.

I say Choc-o-lot.
Commielot?
Aunt Esther compared to Jackie O?...what an insult to Jackie!!
I agree that Obama must be stopped. I’d just rather we point out his Marxism than his classless wife.
Barf alert needed!!!
Calling the Messiah’s Gestapo!
You left off antisemitic, racist, hate filled, vile, and an overall embarrassment for the American people.
Oops, and all that too! LOL Thanks for finishing her list of qualities.
A minute apart lol!
I just saw a shot of her yesterday with the same hairdo that Jackie wore.
Good grief, they’ve got to be kidding! Which reminds me, I’ve been looking all over for a youtube video I saw several weeks ago. It’s the one of Barack and Babymama eating in a diner on the campaign trail. While Barack is talking to the media, MO continually reaches across his arms at the dinner table to grab things from the other side of the table. It was obvious that he was so used to this behavior that he didn’t even notice it. I kept thinking, “oh man, I can just see this uncouth woman hosting foreign dignitaries at formal White House dinners!”
Anyone have a link to that video?
