Amazingly enough, as I read this article Jodi Kantor wrote about her newly published book on the Obama's the thought that came to mind was how much she seems to substantiate what the Ulsterman columns were saying! Sorry if that is verboten on this web site!

Amazingly enough, as I read this article Jodi Kantor wrote, I note that you have listed yourself as the author.

I’m SORRY! Didn’t mean to do that!

Can the moderator fix that?

Probably, if you ask nicely.

If it was just an accident I don't imagine it's too big a deal.

Michelle Obama was privately fuming, not only at the president’s team, but also at her husband.

She always looks like she's privately fuming .....

Maybe you can also get them to take the apostrophe out of the word Obama’s since there shouldn’t be one when a word is made plural.

FLOTUS imagines herself Queen of the World and can’t understand why it doesn’t seem like Heaven.

A dozen mind readers wouldn’t be sufficient, as she needs to flare her attitude just to show she’s in charge.

"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 don't care for the Obama's, especially Michelle who appears to be a cold hearted and vindictive person to me. But, I side with her on this one. If she had wished to maintain her career (which would mean she actually did something in her $300K a year hospital job) and keep her children in school where they had ties and friendships, so be it.

The "first family" aspect of the President job is almost becoming similar to the royals. If he wanted to just go to work like other elected officials do, I'd be good with it.

More whining from Michelle about the tribulations of being in the White House!! This is beyond annoying.

This wretched woman is an abomination of physical and spiritual ugliness and atrocious fashion sense. She’s crass, ungracious , foul-mouthed and ignorant. Never has so awful a woman ever been an American First Lady.

Good luck with that. The apostrophe showing possession is a lost cause. It is, however, a very telling indication of a person's age group.
