You'd never hear Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan saying they were smart enough to help their husbands shape policy. That's one of those unspoken rules of being the first lady. Even Hillary denied trying to coach Bill on policy.

us hoi-polloi, to have Michelle Obama around to guide us.  And she has struggled through such adversity (I heard that she once got an undeserved "C" grade in a college class), she surely has learned humility.

/sarc off

So, she is the Einstein of the world today? I wonder if the arrogance of Obama rubbed off on her, or if her arrogance rubbed off on Obama.

You know, I have read and listened to this woman a number of times, and I have yet to hear her say one smart thing.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

To quote The Princess Bride:

"Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?"

"Yes."

"Morons."

I guess she sat in the most racist anti-american church in the country for 20 years to reinforce her college learned racism and hate of America. She really accomplished something while 'working' at a hospital. Well at least she progressed up the pay scale when her husband ripped off a few million to give the hospital, which in turn ripped off a large part of it to give 'the mouth from Chicago' over a $100K  raise. Who did they give the remainder to? Sounds like the Messiah learned to work the kickback scheme early. Earmark a few million to a hospital who in turn will kickback 10% to your wife using the payroll.

Stevens (R) Alaska had nothing (but a larger pot of taxpayer money) on the Messiah.

Put them all in prison.

Old, Retired and glad of it.

"Barack Obama will require you to work," she says. "He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation...Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."  ..... words by Michelle Obama

Seems a little Hitlerish. 

Go away Obama's, both of you.  Your holier than thou attitude is making me sick!

This twit isn't smart enough to manage a Mcdonalds. Affrimative action & liberal self hate over old crimes has lowered the bar so far, that she actually belives this stuff.

I would love to see her have an IQ contest against a semi-bright highschool kid. What an arrogant, do-nothing, know-nothing idiot..

Her husband is also quite dumb...but no one can call him on all his tupidity for fears of being labeled racist...

Policy is really not that tough to come up with.  It's simple: if you're a Lib, raise taxes, increase regulations, promote anything socialistic, and always side with those who oppose America.  If you're a conservative, cut taxes, cut regulation, secure the borders, stand strong against the enemies of America.

This stuff is not difficult.  Most people could do it with about a 20% effort, so if she needs 70%, she must be pretty lame.

What like of mentality says what she says:

-putting in a 70% effort, just to be competent, is good enough.  Wow, what a waste of talent.  If Americans didn't bother to do their best, to put in 100%, we wouldn't be the nation we are.  So why would we want leadership that only wants to be competent, giving less than that are able to.

-I am so smart (ie you are so dumb) that I don't even have to try and already I am way ahead of you.

What is with the Obamas and their arrogant, self-pious, elitist attitude?

The end is near. The more these two America-hating, arrogant elitist egotists are allowed to speak without the words having been written by someone else, the more they expose their total emptyness to the electorate.

I am beginning to think we just might see a blowout election in November in which our party's aging, weak, uninspiring, unconfident, confused and disliked by his own party candidate is elected over God and his handlers in a landslide.

Michelle perfectly reflects the militant angry black woman so prevalent in todays democrat party.

Tax the rich.....i.e. penalize hard work and transfer those fruits to people who don't work for their own betterment.

I think this is what is called slavery .....working and not keeping the fruits of your labor.

I would like the black congressional caucus to apologize for 50 years of oppressing the white man with this form of slavery, which goes on even today!

I honestly believe that if we can get Michelle Obama to KEEP talking and to keep her in the media's viewfinder, the American people will turn away from Obama.

I am really confused...I thought Hillary Clinton was the "smartest" woman alive. I am so glad that Michelle cleared that up for me.
