She’s “suspicious of conventional thinking.”
And suspicious, arrogant people with real power can act on it .. scary.
Easy to see why Rahm left ... (wonder if he sent her a dead fish .. LOL)

They are an amazing couple. Role models for the world. This country is not good enough for them. I wish nothing but the best for this family, the best of what we can all can only aspire to be.

Even as Mrs. Obama dazzled Americans with her warmth, glamour and hospitality early in the presidency..Hmm. I guess I missed that, especially the glamor part. And how many Americans were exposed the the 'warmth' and 'hospitality' other than big money donation packagers?

"I wish she would stay away from our rudder." Her "rudder" appears to be growing. Given a little encouragement it could morph into one of those "Serengeti shelfasses" that you can sit a pot of coffee on.
