Michelle Obama: No tension with husband's aides (People paint me as "some angry black woman")
CBS News ^ | January 12, 2012

(CBS News)

Michelle Obama said depictions of friction in a new book, "The Obamas," between her and former top aides to her husband, President Obama, aren't true.

In a wide-ranging interview with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King, the first lady also said that some have tried to portray her as an "angry black woman" since Mr. Obama first announced he was seeking the presidency.

" ... I guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here and a strong woman and-- you know? But that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I'm some angry black woman."

"The Obamas," written by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, reports that there was tension with former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual and with former presidential Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

But Mrs. Obama told King that simply wasn't so.

"Rahm is -- and Amy, his wife, are some of our dearest friends," Mrs. Obama says. "Rahm and I have never had a cross word. He's a funny guy."

"some angry black woman"

No, I disagree, that's not quite what they're saying at all. In the words of (attorney) Eddie Murphy on SNL:

"I can sum this up in three words your honor...'She ugly bich'."

Maybe she has tension because of her husband “having aids”?

She clips her sentences just like he does...

As far as the girls....Do you really think that daddy and his "If you want to kill your baby, it's okay with me"...is something every daughter wants to hear?? How do they live with themselves? When is he going to have a gay party for his girls??

These people have NO values...none..."0". It's all about money and power.....black power.

Barack: “When I rule the world, I will eat lobster and golf every day. I am the one. I will be god of America.”

Moochelle: “When I rule the world, White people will have to kiss my ass and serve me lobster every day. They will work and sweat, and bust their white asses to pay for Airforce one to cart my ass all over the world on vacations. “

Speaking of “angry black woman”, “HE GOT WEED, HE GOT WEED!”

Maybe it was when the Princeton-and-Harvard-educated MO told us she'd never been proud of her country before that we got that impression.

strange, why would she bring her colour into it?
Is there a stereotype she knows about?

These people have done more to destroy relations between the races than anyone I have seen in my lifetime. They came along at a time where we had pretty much forgot the stupidity of human demarcation by skin color and made it an issue. They made it an issue so they could use skin color as a wedge to gain political power and by that make money. Make no mistake about this. It is not about black or brown or yellow or white. It is about green. Green money.

The thievery of these people knows no bounds. This is followed closely by their lack of class and a glaring blindness to American Christian values.

Kings, queens, dictators, masters.... We are not supposed to have them in America. Our presidents are our servants. Not our taskmasters and certainly not our rulers. The Obamas are not angry, they are hateful and looking for payback for injustices they imagine. The country gave them an opportunity to take the racial healing that had come so far and bring all colors together. Instead the worse possible thing they could have done they did. Instead of using love to unite America as one race they used their hate to poison the country. For money.

God may have mercy on their souls for their despicable actions. The American voters will not. Obama will never be re-elected. Americans see the hate in the current administration. The poison. A poison that we cannot live with much longer.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.
Michelle Obama

Until now ...
