Jealous Michelle vs. Oprah: How two of America’s most powerful women grew to despise each other
NY Post ^ | 5/13/12 | EDWARD KLEIN

Posted on 05/13/2012 6:20:42 AM PDT by jimbo123

In his new book, “The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House,” journalist Edward Klein reveals how even former friends and political allies of the president have become frustrated with his remoteness and bungling of crises. Klein, former editor of The New York Times Magazine and frequent contributor to Vanity Fair, interviewed numerous members of Obama’s inner circle. In this excerpt, he explains how even celebrity backer Oprah Winfrey was shoved aside.

Shortly after the 2008 presidential election, Oprah Winfrey traveled to Washington, DC, to nail down an interview for O, The Oprah Magazine with Michelle Obama. Oprah expected the president-elect and his wife to give her a reception fit for visiting royalty, and for the occasion, she took along Gayle King, the magazine’s editor-at-large and her constant companion.

Holders people culture is very self-centered and very intolerant of anyone they perceive, rightly or wrongly, as trying to move in on em or their stash.

It is equally telling that lots of liberals have moved away from nobama, i.e. this book and how now “some” in the MSM are not quite so fast to hide the real from us. Looks like the kenyan and his gaggle’s ME, ME, ME have turned off some on the left or maybe they see the handwriting on the wall and want to do the “rats jumping the sinking ship” routine.

Unless nobama cooks up the Mother Of All October Surprises, the landslide is more and more likely to be in biblical proportions.

That IS a most telling photo. Moochele’s hatred is not just toward a beautiful and elegant woman, but toward Crackas in general. Do not think for a minute she would not pull a Zimbabwa on us.

If even half of what's in this article is true, Oprah and Michelle are two of the most spoiled, arrogant brats alive.

You prefer 8 years of Hitlary over 4 years of incompetence? I'll take an incompetent evil socialist vs. a ruthless competent one.

I realized after I posted what I did that it may be taken as favor for Hilary in an objective sense. Sorry for the confusion. I don't "prefer" either, given the choice between both and the Republican party.

Let me make this clear: I absolutely would have preferred neither get even close to the White House.

However, I also truly believe that Hillary wouldn't have been as damaging to this country as Obama has been. She carried (and still carries) the baggage of her "Hillary Care" defeat in the 90's, so she never would've been able to ram such socialism down our collective throats. Also, I believe she learned the lesson of her husband in '94, and wouldn't have tried to be nearly as hard core leftist (as much as I'm sure she'd like to be) as Obama has been; she at least would have re-learned it in 2010, unlike Obama.

Of course, we can't go back in time to prove or disprove that assertion, and had Hillary been the nominee (and won) then I would have been railing against her as much as I do Obama (without even knowing who Obama was at that point).

So it's pointless to debate which would be worse; both are ultimately disgusting leftists, with little (if any) regard for the well-being of this country. IMO, Hillary is at least self-centered enough to be willing to bend to the will of the people when political reality dictates (then and only then; not because she cares about the country, but only because she cares about her own political future).

Obama isn't even that. He's such an ideologue, that he absolutely refused to hold back, even after 2010!

If you disagree with that assertion above, fine, but then I could reverse your post around to you, to say: "You peter Obama over Hitlery?" The point is, such disagreement is based on a hypothetical, thus pointless to debate.

What what isn't hypothetical is that Obama got his start BECAUSE of Oprah. I absolutely blame her as much as anyone for his rise (and thus directly, other than of course Obama himself, for the blame of all that has befallen this country).

This is the point of my post(s) on this thread: Anyone who supports Oprah in any way, by watching her show, or her network, or buying her magazine, or any other way, is supporting the leftist infestation in this country. Period.

.....if you happen to want a bony, effeminate guy with a peanut-shaped head, pencil neck, and flapping ears.

LOL. Kind of the way I see him too.

"Michelle stumbled, then finally managed to say that the marital arguing had been a ‘growth point’ in their relationship."

Yeah, like a tumor.

"Oprah only wants to cash in, using the White House as a backdrop for her show to perk up her ratings,” Michelle was quoted as telling her staff."

Pausing briefly during an intense set of barbell curls, Michelle pondered, "Doesn't she know only we get to use the WH for personal gain?"

That's nothing new with Oprah. Back in 2005, she attempted to access the French boutique "Hermes" for after-hour shopping. They wouldn't let her in, and she had a hissy-fit because she wasn't given special treatment. The fact is that she was denied access because the store was already providing after-hour shopping for other people, and Oprah wasn't on the list.

It confirms to me who really runs the WH, Valarie Jarrett and David Axelrod.
Certainly not the SheBoyKing.

Thanks, I think you have given us a truly profound statement:
Leftists are consumed by envy. It is their defining characteristic, although usually well hidden. Their only happiness comes from fleeting moments of schadenfreude.

“...Hillary, whom Michelle calls ‘a snake.’ ”

Well, I’ve got to agree with her on this one.

If this scenario is true, I can just see Orca with her multiple interior designers, hustling and bustling furiously with samples, swatches and miniature Lincoln bedroom models, all decorated in different motifs only to sphinctor-tightengly and startlingly realize that Her Royal Overweightness is NOT WELCOMED and NOT PART OF THE INNER CIRCLE after she threw her own life and popularity under the bus - only to have the REAL Queens of Chicongo diss her sooooooo very humiliatingly and publicly.

I bet is was like watching Holy Water being thrown in the devil’s face.

Heh heh heh...

At the end of this article the truth comes out:

"Oprah had unparalleled access, input, influence, and power."

Two words, CAT FIGHT.

Lot of resentment!
I bet she bites!
Someone needs to advise her to never, never play poker.
