FLOTUS wanted to stay in Chicago
Politico44 ^ | 1/6/12 | BYRON TAU

As Michelle Obama realized over the summer and fall of 2008 that she was likely to become first lady, she asked a question that probably would have surprised outsiders: could she and her children delay moving to the White House? Perhaps it was better, she told aides and friends, to remain in Chicago until the end of the school year, giving her children more time to adjust, rather than coming right at the inauguration. Her notion, though short-lived, was telling: she didn’t understand or care what sort of message it would send to a public enthralled by the new first family, and she had trepidations about life in the spotlight, let alone the prospect of residing in a monument-museum-office-military compound-terrorist target-home.

I call BS

The purpose of this article is to make her appear more ‘like one of us’.

We’ll have to pull her kicking and screaming from the white house.

If we get a chance to vote again.

To paraphrase Dennis Miller: The only way the Obama’s marriage could be more obvious as a marriage of convenience is if a Slim Jim rack and Icee machine were installed at the foot of their bed.

It was MANDATORY that she remain in close proximity to Barack Hussein Obama, as she is his handler, and the direct feed to him of all the approved positions passed down by the Shadow Party (i.e., the international Soros conspiracy).

There had been an ENORMOUS amount of string-pulling to get this puppet regime in place, and they weren’t about to let Michelle mess it up.

Glad to see she made the right decision and adjusted well and quickly. She must think she hit the lottery of all time. She can now vacation at will and enjoy the fruits of our labor for the rest of her life.

“”To paraphrase Dennis Miller: The only way the Obama’s marriage could be more obvious as a marriage of convenience is if a Slim Jim rack and Icee machine were installed at the foot of their bed””

I’m glad you said it was paraphrasing because I don’t think anyone but Dennis ever understands just what it was he just said. I love the perplexed looks on O’Reilly’s face at most of his ramblings. The guy is priceless - one of a kind. What a mind he has.
