The cult of Michelle Obama is a puzzler. Thousands of strong, smart, independent women flock to every public appearance of, and hang on every platitude of, a woman whose sole notable accomplishment is her marriage. Lucking into marrying a celebrity is not usually posited to be the aim of feminism. No one can name a single other exceptional, or even unusual, achievement.
The adulation is real, though. Hillary Clinton’s book tour meant sad, clenched-jaw appearances at Barnes & Noble. Mrs. Obama’s took her to the Barclays Center and other arenas big enough for pro basketball games. There’s now a documentary about the book tour on Netflix. Guess who made it?

Several of the women I work with all but worship her. I just keep my mouth shut. I can't figure out why - I mean what has she actually done? She's no Condi Rice, that's for sure.

I dont get it. Shes not particularly bright. She dresses like she's homeless much of the time. She looks like a Wookie and has all the poise of Janet Reno. There is absolutely nothing about her to admire. And all that assumes she really is a woman, which is debatable. I'm not buying any of it.

As I have observed things through the years, I think I do have an understanding of these type of women. I took on a Sunday school position at a church and was thoroughly disappointed. The office was slovenly and attention to detail was not evident. This position was held by two women before I came in. I ended up leaving in frustration mainly due to the female pastor. This is how I have come to my understanding with that situation and a couple more. Females want positions of power and status but a lot of short cuts have to be taken so they can attain them. Most that I have encountered really don't want to get their hands dirty but don't mind when that position of power has arrived at their door. This is who Michelle Obama reminds me of and she is a very jealous woman.

Grades and scores not good but told that she wasn't Princeton material was a racist act. That's all you need to know of a perpetual victim and an inner psychological issue that defines her soul.

The Obamas are a media creation. The curtain has been drawn back and we find the great powerful Obama’s are a fraud and are not what they claim to be. They are the sole creation of the progressive cabal desperately attempting to destroy this country. They know a very effective weapon is division and the Obama’s are the ultimate purveyors of racial division. As the article explains, Michelle Obama creates situations that have no basis in reality but they do advance the theory that she has been done wrong by white folks.
#3, women who follow her blindly are nothing more than lemmings who would rather be in the “in crowd” than have the personal integrity to actually find out who this woman is and what she advocates. If you even just scratch the surface, she is nothing more than any angry black woman who will never be satisfied with her life. No amount of wealth or adulation will changed the deep seated belief that she is the subject of discrimination. Nothing is ever enough for these women. They walk through life with a chip on their shoulder and any slight or disappointment is a direct result of endemic racial bias. It is a poison to the soul and will likely never change. While railing on her situation she is at the same time wallowing in it. Frauds are easy to spot for most of us but those individuals who long to be accepted at the cost of their own integrity are an easy mark and this is where the Obama’s base exists.

Why believe anything liberal blacks say? I don’t believe anything liberal whites say either. I don’t bother getting all bothered about being labeled a default racist strictly on the basic of my color and genealogy. All these black lib finger-pointers can go where it’s real hot!

I can explain the adulation, and it has nothing to do with character or credentials. She's rich and powerful, and she can tell the world to eff-off because she'll never need a job.

“Thousands of strong, smart, independent women flock to every public appearance of, and hang on every platitude of, a woman whose sole notable accomplishment is her marriage.“
The same could be said of Illary Clinton up until 4 years ago. Getting carpetbagger into a senate seat in a state she never lived in is not an accomplishment. Getting named Secretary of State by a fraud whose sole intention was to keep his enemy closer is not an accomplishment. Everything that Illary has attempted has been a failure. (Except the money grifting) But now people are sick of her and her endless whining.
The same fate awaits Mooch - we just haven’t arrived there yet. Her melanin content is still protecting her.

Re #14; About Michelle’s melanin protection: that reminded me of that gay clown, Jussie Smollett, who set up that phony race incident in the snowy Chicago early morning. One columnist referred to him as having a “politically correct force-field” around him; gay, black, and liberal. The obamas also enjoy the same politically correct force field.

Wait- she does have accomplishments-
We need to put her thesis out again and again
Let us find out how she managed to get disbarred
Let’s find her birth certificate and discover If she really was born Michael LaVon Brown
Let’s find pictures of her pregnant-
She accomplished much with her food program-
She is an accomplished vacation taker- let us count the money,time, and places
She hates America and the flag- and is NOT proud of America..
The media created this monstrosity- in a size 13 (14?15?)shoe.. floral couch cover too tight fitting clothes. The shhtruggle is real

She doesn't impress me either. Never has. Neither does Barack. I know she was ashamed of her country prior to her going into the WH. Does she still feel the same way? My guess, probably. Barack and her have profited wildly from the race issue. They took advantage of the racial virtue signaling by white leftists, especially by the dishonest left media, which continues, wildly, to this day..They both rode the wave.

FTA: "Michelle obviously preferred to socialize with the black students. A white kid can’t exactly approach a group of black students and say, “Can I join your clique?” This was my observation in college also--nothing wrong with it, that is the way of nature. Birds of a feather flock together. I think a lot (certainly not all) of what is described as racism is just a feeling of more comfort while being within a group of people you share common culture and behaviour. Fleeing a neighborhood because of increasing crime is not racism, it is self protection. Since Michelle carried her key as a form of self protection she understood the threat and should also understand the result--white people fleeing the neighborhood followed by blacks who could afford to.

Based on what she has written and said over the years, most would not have paid much attention to Michelle—except to whom she married.
Yes, her acceptance to Princeton was probably a combination of affirmative action and the influences of her father’s Chicago political contacts. During and after her time at Princeton, Michelle comes across as ungrateful and even spiteful, even with given the rare opportunity to attend an Ivy League school.
She carried this chip on her shoulder into the White House to the point that her handlers had minimize her official public appearances. Instead, Michelle went on multiple taxpayer-funded African safaris with the girls. Even when she had to travel for official reasons, Michelle almost always travelled separately from Barry, creating additional logistical, security and financial headaches.
Yep, Michelle is the black Hillary.

I'll throw this out there for you Mitch in case you missed it last time. My father-in-law moved his family out of the West side not because of the color black but the color red as he grew tired of seeing his children bloodied by their new neighbors. That was pragmatic, survival, not racist. And the last time I tried to clarify things for you I left out a small detail. He came from Italy in 1920 where he experienced life competing for the bottom rung of society and grew up with a kindred association with those who had to scratch and claw their way to sustenance. They were among the last to leave the "hood."
For those of you unaccustomed to the murder hot spots in Chicago you hear a great deal about the "South Side" however, the West side is worse.

An angry woman who failed the bar exam? Surely the dims could do better than her. She held a sinecure at the U of Chicago because the university wanted to curry favor with her husband. That doesn't sound like much of a c.v. to me. Plus she hates America and somebody dresses her funny. Her only accomplishment to date is her work on behalf of the Spanish tourist industry. Egad, dims, what is the attraction?

She’s oprah. She’s the view. She’s the first black first lady. Her fans have no knowledge of what competence is, or that it even exists; they think they coukd do great things if they tried, but they wanted to do other things- like dress up and go to parties and chase boys/girls and watch TV and gossip. But that’s ok, because “you are great!” All you need is self esteem.
Joe bi.den got one thing right. In a sort of village idiot way saying “but the king don’t have no clothes on!”

Hit submit too soon.
I’d say her overarching problem has always been her wish that she’d been born white. She is envious of white women. As for her Princeton gig, daddy was a ward heeler. Not a terribly high position, defined: "a person who assists in a political campaign by canvassing votes for a party and performing menial tasks for its leaders”. She got into Princeton because she was black. She always knew that. It had to sting.

Michelle was First but she is not a Lady. Barry was First but he was not a President. Between the pair I don't believe they liked each other very much but they certainly took advantage of the American people. Blacks loved them because of the skin color and Whites wanted so badly to be acceptable to Black people because they thought it would enhance their coolness. There is no logical reason why. That Princeton thesis is absolute proof what twelve years of public school and four years of Affirmative Action acceptance to the Ivy League can get you. The time earned her a couple of fancy pieces of paper but does nothing for her knowledge or ability to think. I don't blame them for accepting millions of dollars from book publishers or Netflix. I do blame the idiots who fawn all over them by buying and believing their garbage. I only hope that the GOP has done a proper investigation of her life for the day that Biden selects her as VP and she accepts - unlike how they ignored the lies, accomplishments and smoke and mirrors that propelled Barry into office.

Find a copy of her "thesis" if you want a good example of her air-headed, lazy, pointless, affirmative action worthlessness. It is very few pages to begin with, with HUGE 1" page side margins, and greater top and bottom margins and wider than normal double spacing to try to make the pathetically thin "work" seem to have a bit more substance, making a paragraph into "a page".
When you try to read it, it is pure gibberish, a pointless, logic-free, seemingly random dump of a word salad of racial and affirmative action buzz phrases of the day. It is impossible to actually read. It is an embarrassingly bad piece of worthless nothing. It's nothing but a place holder that was necessary exist before they handed out her "award for showing up while black". Content, thought and size were entirely unimportant, and it shows clearly.
I'd call her vapid, but that implies way too much substance.

It's not true that she doesn't have one accomplishment. She upped the amount of wasted food at schools across America considerably and thus fed the homeless. She turned elementary school kids into Republicans as they shared photos of their sad, flavorless meals and said, "Thanks, Michelle Obama!" She shamed kids who tried to trade lunches, too.
What do you expect from a woman who got a high-priced patronage job at a hospital as soon as her husband became a state senator (one that disappeared as soon as she left it) and then had the gall to complain about how much health care costs?

The Obamas have been the major force in setting progress in black-white backward 20 years in this country. They have claimed racism and bigotry has increased in this country at the time it was decreasing. They have inflamed blacks with their lies about race relations. If their stories were true, there would have a large kill off of blacks by whites. This has not happened. Most black deaths have been due to black-on-black crime.
