Why so glum, Michelle?
The Washington Times ^ | August 28, 2011 | Joseph Curl

Man, how miserable is Michelle Obama?

About 2½ years into her ceremonial stint as first lady, Mrs. Obama seems to have had quite enough of the gig. More to the point, she doesn’t seem to have ever warmed to the second-fiddle slot as other first ladies before her did. And even more than that, she doesn’t seem all that happy with the man she married 19 years ago.

A look at just this past month is illuminating. On Aug. 9, the first lady sneaked out of Washington and flew aboard a government plane to Corvallis, Ore. On board, dozens of staffers, Secret Service agents, Mrs. Obama’s mother and one of the Obamas’ daughters (we never did find out who). No husband. Her office never announced the trip; the news was broken by Oregon’s Register-Guard newspaper.

“She’s on a private, family trip to meet with her brother and his family,” aide Semonti Stephens said.

But security for the first lady locked down a ritzy country club neighborhood. “We couldn’t go out and get our mail without first telling them our names,” a neighbor told the Register-Guard.

Of course, the optics were terrible. Just as the markets were melting down — and millions of Americans settled in to enjoy a “staycation” — the first lady was off on vacation, again. Why wouldn’t her brother — even his whole family — just slip into Washington for a couple nights at the White House during the summer break?

But things got really weird this month when the first family went on yet another vacation, this time a 10-day break on Martha’s Vineyard......

I think it will be prescription meds. I believe he is loaded up on psychotropics.

Lady, if you think you've had enough...

Her whole marriage has been a sham from day 1, and while some knew it all along, many are just now figuring it out. She married a doper bozo who’s a bit too light on his toes and she knows the world looks down on them both.

"What were the words of his proud, loving, supportive spouse? “You better not blow it.” Now he has, in every possible way."

I don't know what she'd be upset about. She's as big a leftist as he is. I can't imagine that she'd complain about the damage he's done to this point.

How will they hush up a heroin overdose leading to his death?

No, there’s something going on there. How else to explain all those vacations away from President Obama — to Florida, California, South Africa, Latin America, Colorado, Spain? (That last trip was also a “mother-daughter” jaunt, although along for the ride were 40 “family” friends and a security squad of 75 agents.) How else to explain her decision not to accompany her husband to Chicago the day before his 50th birthday, when the first couple could have spent the night in their real home?

How, indeed.

She hates her husbands white half and blames it for all of their woes. She tried to remove that demoned side in the church of Jeramiah (chickens coming home to roost) Wright but that didn’t work, so she will milk this Jersey Cow for all its got and cackle all the way to the bank.

I bet 100 dollars that their marriage collapses shortly after his Presidency is over....Heck maybe even before....

The optics of everything Moochele does is bad, right down to the horse-blankets she calls clothes. But I have to think there is truth in this statement: “Nothing can match the insufferability of a President” — especially the insufferability of THIS President. As petulant, thin-skinned, and narcissistic as he is in public, it’s easy to see why someone would prefer an iPod to his company.

You do have to hope the girls turn out OK. Being in this kind of spotlight is tough for any kid, and no one picks their parents.

One almost senses they are nearing the psychological breaking point.

On record here as predicting either a nervous breakdown or an overdose for “The One”.

From your lips to God's actions. I vote for a twofer -- nervous breakdown AND an overdose. I imagine there is a ready supply of cocaine on hand in 0dumb0's WH, for when he needs a "blow" now & then.

Let it be written, let it be done! Again I vote for twofer -- both 0dumb0 & his psychotic perpetually angry phat ass man-wife michelle. Let 'em both eat grass in the fields with deranged minds, like God did to Nebuchadnezzer nearly 3,000 years ago.

Undoubtedly, the man is not well. Today's news conference was an exercise in delusional behavior I found to be very disturbing.

Never happen. He’s the center of the universe. IMHO he is already unraveling and doing every mean, disgracefule, hateful, distructive thing he can think of. He’s the enraged poofter beating everyone up with his purse.
It will take a REAL man would to put a smile on Michelle’s face, but I ain’t seeing any volunteers.
