The tricky path forward for Michelle Obama (CNN plays Race Card...)
CNN ^ | 8/16/10 | John Blake

Posted on 08/16/2010 1:35:05 PM PDT by jimbo123

To some she is a self-made woman and a global superstar.

To critics she's an "angry black woman" ashamed of her country.

Now she's been called a modern-day Marie Antoinette.

-snip-

"There are so many white people who are not used to seeing a black woman in this position," says Aminah Hanan, a Chicago blogger and managing editor of MichelleObamawatch.com. "She's the face of America, and they can't process it."

Or maybe she is a crooked lawyer who lost her license due to fraud??? That would make her the face of the Democrat Party...

“(CNN plays Race Card...)”

It’s all they’ve got. They’re on the ropes.

When the "face of America" says that America is a mean-spirited country, and that she has never been proud of her country until it finally got around to nominating a black man for president, it doesn't matter what color she is.

Someone should ask Aminah Hanan why Michele Obama lost her law license.

Do you have proof she lost her license due to fraud? That’s a serious charge and shouldn’t be lightly tossed about.

Didn't make an allegation, just asked a question? Now, go away.

Same bullchit, different day.

We don’t like Mrs. Obama because she is an elitist, self-serving, money grubbing broad who looks down her nose at us taxpayers who keep her in parties, clothes, vacation and all those other creature comforts she so much enjoys.

Maybe when she and her husband “sacrifice” like the rest of us, I might give them more respect. For now, the gangsta-in-chief and his woman can kiss my a$$.

“That’s a serious charge and shouldn’t be lightly tossed about.”

I agree and that is why I googled it. According to Snopes she is “inactive”, which obviously she is.

I didn’t read the whole thing and didn’t get up to the part about Barack.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with her law license.

The MSM is circling the wagons around Michelle. No doubt it is a coordinated campaign. Politico had a poor Michelle story today, too.

CNN is the race channel. They are competeing for the few Black cable viewers with MSNBC. Every time you see it there is some lame race spot on it.

She actually gave up her law licsense to avoid being investigated.

She voluntarily asked for it to be made inactive. She can reactivate it if she ever wants to.

Yes, a question like “When did you stop beating your wife?” which is an accusation contained within a question. We need to deal with facts, not innuendo. There is plenty of substance with which to criticize Queen Michelle without tossing around this matter. There is a difference between an inactive license and a suspended or revoked license. The latter implies wrongdoing, the former doesn’t.

I guess you have facts, also, about this? The law license matter is a red herring. It can come back to bite you, labeling you as a rumormonger without knowledge of the facts.

For your information, law licenses only have to be maintained if you are hanging out a shingle for attracting clients off the street, or will be appearing in court on behalf of your clients. Lots of attorneys do advisory work for a corporation or organization and never appear in court so they don’t need to maintain their licenses. Law licenses are expensive, costing several hundred dollars a year, require continuing education annually, malpractice insurance, client bank trust accounts, and often involve pro bono obligations, and/or other fees. If you are not required to maintain it, you have no reason to want to continue doing so. To my knowledge, Michelle never had a job where she had to appear in court. Then she had her children, saw her husband elected to public office, and worked for a hospital corporation, not as a lawyer but as a vice-president of community relations or something. She fits right into the category of people who commonly let their licenses to inactive.

As I have said earlier, there are plenty of things to criticize Michelle Obama about. Letting her license go inactive isn’t one of them. (Unless you have proof she was threatened with an investigation and so let it lapse. Then I’m listening.)

Not just a black woman, but a hateful, butt-ugly, black woman who dresses like a peacock to keep people from looking at her mug.

Yoo, hoo Michele. Ever wonder how Obama passed
the time when you and Sasha were having fun in Spain?

Too bad. Didn't win the mirrored ball. Even with the
star-power of his lovely, accomplished partner.
