EXCERPTS

During a news break, we got but a glimpse of Obama, radiant and sophisticated, touring the Alhambra palace in Granada with youngest daughter, Sasha. Then it was back to our regularly scheduled programmed descent to the bottom of the cultural barrel.

(snip)

Meanwhile, the real first lady is out charming the world, an ambassador of goodwill wherever she goes. Nothing but love and respect for her during recent visits to Mexico, Russia, Haiti and Spain.

That has to be at least part of the reason perceptions of U.S. leadership worldwide have improved so much since the Obamas moved into the White House -- up from 34 percent in 2008, under the Bush administration, to 51 percent in 2009, according to the U.S. Global Leadership Project.

One of the two women in that picture is so, SO Not Guilty.

The other is the First Lady of the United States.

I’d say Courtland Milloy had the hots for Michelle but this column makes him sound more like a worshipful gay BFF.

Don’t know if “Courtland” is a boy or a girl but I’d bet a dollar that the author is black and if not a woman they gay.

So she WASN'T wearing her "church clothes"?

“Meanwhile, the real first lady is out charming the world, an ambassador of goodwill wherever she goes.”

Actually, the vast bulk of reports indicate that she’s appalling the world wherever she goes; this reporter should simply lick Obama’s butt and get it over with.

The Princess looked absolutely stunning in a simple yet exquisite sheath with knock down gorgeous shoes. She was the epitome style and grace. I was very impressed with this young woman’s sense of style and decorum.

These people give us new definitions to everything, including in this case “sofistication”. Which apparently is being pathetic without noticing it.

Terrifying, isn't it?

Just to help soothe your now-burning retinas, here's a picture of Condi meeting with the King of Spain. Now this is radiant and sophisticated.
