Michelle Obama interview: I'm nothing special

She is known as a stickler for the truth, a disciplinarian and a fiercely hard worker. But, Michelle Obama insists, she is nothing special - she just grasped every opportunity that came her way. Rebecca Johnson meets the would-be First Lady

More than a year before her husband was declared Democratic candidate, Michelle Obama was already hard at work on his behalf. The setting: the Chit-n-Chat coffee shop in Waukee, Iowa, population 9,213. Percentage of population that is white: 97.7. The subject: values. Hers and his. 'I married my husband,' she told the crowd, composed equally of reporters and supporters, 'because we shared the same Mid-Western values: keep your word, work hard, treat others with respect.'

We finally agree!

Michelle Obama interview: I'm nothing special

For the first time in my life, I agree with her.

[TommyDale]

Yep, even a broken clock is correct twice a day!

[Jeff Head]

Keep your word? She has to be kidding. Which one? Last year's? Last month's? Last week's?...or yesterday's?

They're all different Michelle.

Yep...holding fast to those Mid-west values aren't you?

Back to the subject, She finally hit on something I, and apparently the majority of us on this site, REALLY AGREE WITH.

[doug from upland]

She is a racist.

[freekitty]

She’s got that right.

[tbpiper]

She is known as a stickler for the truth

I suppose that's a true statment as long as she gets to make up her own truth.......now if you'll excuse me, I have a gun and a religion that needs some angry clinging.

[exile]

“Michelle Obama interview: I’m nothing special”

Got that right

[OCC]

Michelle Obama arrived for our photo shoot at the Chicago Cultural Centre wearing black leggings, a flowy tunic top and flat shoes, and looking a little tired. Apparently the senator had surprised her by arriving home for a rare visit the night before.

Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more!

[doc1019]

I thought only whites could be racists? ;-)

[HKMk23]

IMO, that Obama caption at bottom right should read “SHORT CHANGE”.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I thought whitey wasn’t supposed to make inuendos about black sexuality...that would be ‘racist”.

[RasterMaster]

"I'm nothing special"

Dittos for your spouse!

Just your regular, everyday, Harvard educated, black, multi-millionaires living in the United States of KKK-A.

But, Michelle Obama insists, she is nothing special

She's nothing period.

[indylindy]

Where is Captain Obvious when you need him?

[apocalypto]

Now if she had said she was special, how many here would have attacked her? I find this a petty thing to hold against her.

[Recovering_Democrat]

She’s humble and she’ll make sure everyone knows it.

[Jet Jaguar]

Reminds me of an old joke...

How do you know if you have a fighter pilot at your party?

Oh, he will tell you.

:0)

[Amelia]

But, Michelle Obama insists, she is nothing special

No, she isn't. But Cindy McCain IS.

[the invisib1e hand]

nice work in that post.

[PghBaldy]

'The days I stay home with my kids without going out, I start to get ill,' she said. 'My head starts to ache.'

[potlatch]

Lol, Michelle finally told the truth; "I'm nothing special"!

Just Michelle and her $600.00 earrings from Bush's incentive refund.

[Squat]

I am soooo surprised that the Obamination did not ride into Isreal with a donkey and a wreath on his head?

[cricket]

Michele waxing with a borrowed humility.

[BunnySlippers]

This is the outcome of the “softening” of Michelle Obama.

[Salvation]

“would be First Lady”

Not yet, thank goodness!

[bamagirl1944]

Interviewed by just another dingbat reporter whose lost her way.

[PhilDragoo]

Doesn't every mother have a personal trainer, full-time maid service, and $10,000 to squander on her daughter's dance lessons!

[potlatch]

Only the ones who have been DEPRIVED!

Christians?

Who never give presents to their 2 daughters on Christmas

Or on their birthdays?

[potlatch]

Shoot, that article is HUGE. I skimmed through, did it have that about not giving gifts on Christmas in it? Amazing.

I note it called Laura Bush ‘icy’!!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks

My cousin emailed that to me

[potlatch]

Long article, looks interesting but naturally biased.

Michelle Obama: I’m nothing special
Translated for her target audience
Michelle Obama: AMERICA is nothing special

If the democrats could only perfect a means by which the European voted could be counted, they’de be in.

/just returned from Germany. Europe’s feeling cocky because they are pre-positioned well for an election year energy attack by our enemies in OPEC. You want electricity in your hotel room? Plug the room card key in a reader. The lights go on. You leave the room in a hotel on Germany, you take your card key. Everything is automatically disconnnected when the key is removed and taken with you.

There isn’t an 18 wheeler on the road in Germany that has solid metal sides. Every last one of them is paneled in nylon sheet. There’s a lot more but you get the idea.

Oh and it costs a year’s worth of lessons at 3,000 Euro to get your DRIVERS PERMIT. They deny driving privileges to all but the wealthy.

Michelle Oblama: “ I’m nothing special”

Well, that’s for damn sure.

[the invisib1e hand]

she’s got psycho written all over her. And I still say she beats him.

[devolve]

I doubt the Obama's honesty percentage matches his basketball shots in Afghanistan:

16.6%

[wildwood]

why is there not a BARF alert on this??????????????i wasn’t totally prepared.

[potlatch]

I’m finally here, working on stuff as usual. Don’t recall his basketball shots, one out of three? Lol, his honesty isn’t that good so I must be wrong!

[GraceCoolidge]

Yes, I'd say this excerpt spells out the bias pretty clearly:

Normal. Certainly not a word that applies to Hillary's spouse, Bill Clinton. Nor, frankly, is it a word that would have applied to Teresa Heinz, John Kerry's oddly flinty wife, or Cindy McCain, who once stole painkillers from the charity for which she worked. Or even the icy Laura Bush, who can barely contain her contempt for the media in her rare public appearances. But, again and again, it is a word that resurfaces with regard to the Obamas.

Talk about cheap shots at Mrs. Bush. Disgusting.
