“The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,” Obama said, according to the Denver Post. “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.”

We love Diamond and Silk, so it must be something other than Michelle’s skin color.

I think it was more the bulge in her crotch and manly figure. But then I admit I am sexist and like women.

That would be because you made your skin color priority number one.

Well Michelle, then stop reminding everyone that you are black. Your incessant whining about the subject is BORING.

SHE never saw past her skin color.
And apparently still doesn’t.

The average number of full-time assistats for the first lady of the US averages around one or two.

Hillary Clinton was a statistical flyer with for full-time assistants.

Michelle Obama is the highest in history, blowing away all previous records with **26 full-time assistants**

no one white in DC wants to come up to the first black first lady of the United States and say, “You have too much hired help” because it sounds too much like, “hey quit acting uppity cuz historically You People work for us...”

The mere concept is terrifying.

I can theorize that if she had had 10,000 assistants, probably no one would say a word.

Your color has NOTHING to do with it. It is your ideology and that of your husband that is ABSOLUTELY intolerable. When you said you were proud of being an American for the first time, you cooked it.

"Michelle has never gotten past Michelle’s skin color."

Michelle came to the White House with a huge chip on her shoulder...after eight years most of that chip is still there. After half a year of boob belts, and other fashion disasters someone took her in tow and taught her how to dress and act like the lady of the house.

Wondering what was "historic" about her other than her skin color. And agreeing with those who say she's the one seeming to have trouble getting past it.

The only people who failed to see past your skin color, Michelle, were those that voted for your husband because of it.

Everyone else saw right past it to your Marxism — both economic and cultural.

Attention, Michelle...






Here is a picture of a beautiful family who would have made a lovely "First Family". It has nothing to do with skin color, but what is in the HEART.

“Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.”


And those people would be all the bleeding heart libs of any color who ONLY saw your skin color and worshipped you for it.

We here saw you exactly for who you are: angry, chip on shoulder, arrogant with nothing to show for it, and feeling deserving of luxuries paid in sweat by hard working Americans who will never see any luxuries as long as they live. Of all colors.

Moochie wrote her thesis where she talked racism. Wrote it at Princeton. A black woman in a white world, as the saying goes. Maybe she got an A on it.

She like most of her friends, their racist-walling is way past stale, they took their race-bating and made it policy.

Big difference.

Hmmmm. From all the responses calling her out for HER not getting over the skin thing simply proves we’re a bunch of racis’ pigs. ;-) Thanks.
