I think the jury's still out as to whether she's a girl.

[famousdayandyear]

Michele Obama is full of ****

[raml]

She can live there then the middle east is so much fun to be a woman in then maybe she will appreciate what a great country before her husband became president the United States was. I think I hate her even more than her husband if that is possible.

[mountaineer]

She goes to the Middle East - where women routinely are stoned, raped and otherwise abused - to whine and complain about how unfairly girls are treated in the United States.

In Qatar Speech, Michelle Obama Complains About Growing Up as a Girl in America

Michelle Obama went to Qatar to give a speech on girls education. There, the first lady of the United States complained about growing up as a girl in America.

"ack when I was a girl, even though I was bright and curious and I had plenty of opinions of my own, people were often more interested in hearing what my brother had to say. And my parents didn’t have much money; neither of them had a university degree. So when I got to school, I sometimes encountered teachers who assumed that a girl like me wouldn’t be a good student. I was even told that I would never be admitted to a prestigious university, so I shouldn’t even bother to apply," Obama said at the Qatar National Convention Center in Doha.

"Like so many girls across the globe, I got the message that I shouldn’t take up too much space in this world. That I should speak softly and rarely. That I should have modest ambitions for my future. That I should do what I was told and not ask too many questions. But I was lucky, because I had parents who believed in me, who had big dreams for me. They told me, don’t ever listen to those who doubt you. They said, just work harder to prove them wrong.

"And that’s what I did. I went to school. I worked hard. I got good grades. I got accepted to top universities. I went on to become a lawyer, a city government employee, a hospital executive, and –- the most important job I’ve ever had –- a mother to two beautiful girls."

Obama did say that the U.S. has made progress. "And as I moved forward, so did my country. In each generation, brave women and men fought to end gender discrimination in the workplace, to pass tougher laws against rape and domestic abuse, to ensure equal access to education for women. And while we still have work to do to achieve full economic, political equality for women in the U.S., today, nearly 60 percent of American university students are women. And as for the law school at Harvard University –- which I actually got my law degree -- the Dean of the school is now a woman, as are half the students."

For me it's a toss up.  They're both angry, selfish, childish, petulant, nasty, derisive, and thin skinned.

But I totally agree.  Go live in the ME, Michelle.  Then we won't have to hear you whine any more about what an oppressive country that you became First Lady of......

Look at the bright side!

Since Obama took office Democrats have lost:
** 14 Senate seats
** 69 House seats
** 12 governorships
** 910 state legislature seats

Not bad if you ask me!

Unfreakinbelieveable.  I can't even say what I really think of the woman her speech.  (Trying not to attack the person, no matter how idiotic, vapid, stupid and wrong they sound).

Good point!  One of the bright points of the last horrific 7 years.

Ms. Michelle walks through this world with a chip on her shoulder that's even bigger than her o'ersized derrière...

ISIS was called "junior varsity" by him, before they took on the US, and Russia. The GOP should make sure Hillary "owns" that ridiculous and naïve characterization, from her time as Sec State, advising Obama.

Absolutely! At every opportunity!

The one single question for Michael, and that brayhard chick, and "Whoopi" (if any reasonable person could ever consider that to be the name of an actual human), the only question for all these guys and gals or whatever the hell they are?

WHERE IS YOUR BURKA!!? YOU STUPID INFIDEL COWS!

With the grace of Allah I will personally behead each and every one of you Infifel whores!

Oh, and by the way,  thanks for all the support.  I'll be seeing you soon as you kneel before me.

[Oceander]

This woman is so full of sh*t (and herself, which comes to the same thing).  My wife was at Princeton when this PoS was there and I can tell you she wasn't some stuck-in-the-corner mouse.

[PzLdr]

The First Wookie, like her hubby, Joffrey the Boy King, has NEVER grown up.

I just had to post this somewhere. This is from the Nov. 9 Cindy Adams column in the NY Post:

Being mumbled is that, post-DC, Obama’s missus won’t go into politics. Doesn’t want to work that hard. Wants to be anointed like Beyoncé. Also, Chicago will seem too dinky. She’ll look for NYC.

First Lady Michelle Obama brought a $5,000 videographer with her when she traveled to Qatar last week.

Mrs. Obama went to Doha, Qatar, and Amman, Jordan, for her education initiative “Let Girls Learn.” While in Qatar, Mrs. Obama stayed at the St. Regis Hotel in Doha to attend the country’s World Innovation Summit for Education.

A contract for “FLOTUS Videographer for PD and Press” totaling $4,945 was signed Nov. 3 ahead of the first lady’s visit.

Mrs. Obama gave remarks at the summit, which was sponsored by the Qatar Foundation, a radical group that recently hosted a cleric at its mosque who said, “Jews and their helpers must be destroyed.”

Other costs associated with the trip include $3,846 to rent a “passenger van without driver,” $4,120 to rent a mini van for the White House Military office, and $4,161 to rent sedans for the first lady’s staff.

Hotel rooms at the Radisson Blu for security team members cost $16,204. The government also spent $4,257 on a copy machine for Mrs. Obama’s visit.

Just so you know.
