We all know that Barack Obama, if he isn't actually divine, at least qualifies as a Superman. So I guess it's fitting that he's married to a Superwoman. Or at least that's the impression we get in today's Chicago Sun-Times article "Michelle: Her first month as first lady THE EAST WING | In just a month, Michelle Obama has put her mark on her new domain, as she embraces an activist agenda." Authored by Washington Bureau chief Lynn Sweet, the gushing appraisal begins:
It's Friday in the East Wing of the Obama White House, the realm of first lady Michelle Obama.Many of the cream-colored walls are still bare. The Obama administration, after all, is just one month old.
But there is a growing photo collection in the hallways that charts the increasing activity of the first lady in the last two weeks as she settles in to her new role and starts expanding her portfolio of issues.
The newest item on her non-controversial agenda is healthy living. That's in addition to assisting military families, pushing work-family balance, national service, women's concerns and opening up the White House to the community.
Wow! Can you imagine one woman accomplishing so very much so quickly? But the fawning has just begun as Sweet moves on:
In this first month in the White House, Mrs. Obama has:
†Visited five federal agencies on her meet-and-greet tour. Besides Transportation, she has stopped at the Departments of Education, Interior, Housing and Urban Development and Agriculture, where she plugged fruits and vegetables.
†Become more familiar with her new city. She has lunched with Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and Jill Biden, taken in a ballet with the family at the Kennedy Center and visited a community health center.
†Hosted an African-American History Month event at the White House. "African-American slaves helped to build this house," she said.
†Discussed balancing family and work at a panel aimed at women at Howard University.
†And, of course, continued her key role as mom-in-chief to daughters Malia and Sasha, with an assist from her mother, Marion Robinson.
Now some spoilsports might question why Obama is spending time at so many Federal agencies. It's not, after all, as though she's the one who was elected president and chief executive of those agencies. Yet Sweet apparently sees such activism from Obama as positive.
And some grouches may point out that going to two lunches, showing up at a ballet and a community center, hosting an African-American History Month in your home, participating in a Howard University panel, and having your Mom help take care of your daughters doesn't come close to filling out a month. Especially when you have a staff of 20 to lend a hand.
Lynn Sweet knows better. So she quotes the first lady's chief of staff, Jackie Norris. Obama is an "active presence" and "comes in wanting to be value-added and wanting to support the president and the president's agenda." Thank heaven. Would we want a first lady who's an inactive presence or - even more worrisome - doesn't insist on being value-added?
Sweet's puff piece is just the latest in a series of slavish Obamamania we've come to expect from the mainstream media. If Obama's chief of staff ever leaves, Sweet would make an ideal replacement. She knows an activist, value-added gal when she sees one.

What a difference winning the election makes!
And Tom, not only "value added" and an "active presence" she is just such an amazing First Lady...you know, after all those lazy First Ladies who just sat around the White House all day watching soap operas and eating bonbons....

February 22, 2009 - 21:20 ET by choselife3xYou honor me, dear lady. *grin*
We had three cats when I was growing up, a mama and her 2 boys. One of the boys was *my* particular cat. He used to come scratch at my bedroom window on cold winter nights if my dad had left him out. I had to lean out of the window in the freezing cold and grope around until I could pull him up by the tail (the only part I could reach). After he died it took me ten years to get another cat.
And I'll be danged if she don't like my husband best!
She's always jumping into HIS lap and sleeping on his side of the bed. Funny part is, he doesn't really like cats!

I've been feeding him Wellness brand canned cat food [spendy as heck but sure beats VET bills] and he's been doing GREAT on it. When I had him on the stupid Vet prescript diet it caused him to get ANOTHER kind of crystals in his urine! AHHHHHHHH! I was so MAD! I have him on cosequin supplements too and also plant/enzyme/probiotic formula and he's been super healthy on this regime.
I take care of Hubby too, of course! lol. In fact I recently forced him to eat a tablespoon of Manuka honey mixed with be propolis when he took ill the other day and he got well the NEXT DAY!
Now, before ya'll start thinking I'm some sorta witch doctor [lmao] I'm not. I just know God gives us a lot of natural cures.

Attacking the physical
February 22, 2009 - 20:35 ET by SterlingAttacking the physical appearance of Mrs. Obama is reprehensible. My take on this is that some are afraid of a strong independent African American woman. Did the comment about the White House being built by slaves leave a sense of guilt in some? These rants on her appearance are childish. If I remember correctly, were there not some who took offence to Tom Brokaw calling VP Cheney “Dr. Strangelove”; oh the hypocrisy.

Did Cinderella look studious when she went to the ball to meet the Prince? That my friend is how Michelle looks every time she has on those beautiful gowns that so many women wish that they could pull off.
As for her looking studious she sometimes has her sleeves rolled up reading to underprivileged children, or her hair pulled back feeding the hungry at the soup kitchen- this is when I find her studious.

Unconscious resentment
February 22, 2009 - 21:12 ET by SterlingHow can you compare slavery to walking a mile to school? This boggles my mind.

It seems that I may be on to something here judging by all the disgusting comments.

Ah, yes, the obligatory white-guilt reference and its commensurate subtle allegation that we of the non-liberal persuasion are all a bunch of knuckle-dragging, white sheet wearing racists.
Slavery ended in this country ninety-nine years before I popped out in this world, and I am getting more than a little tired of white-guilt ridden, nose-picking, booger-eating liberal bed-wetters like you constantly insinuating that I was in some way responsible for the human tragedy that was slavery.

February 23, 2009 - 11:29 ET by NL207There is a colossal difference between this empty suit, Obama, and Andrew Jackson. When Jackson had a beef of a personal nature with someone, he was not above fighting a duel. Jackson was wounded at least twice and killed at least one man while dueling. Jackson also fought in a real war against a much superior adversay.
One thing Jackson shares in common with Obama: He did business with criminals, namely the Pirate, Jean Lafitte; however, Jackson did not surround himself with such persons as Obama has.
And maybe you never noticed, but Andrew Jackson supported the miscegenation laws. In his view, Obama would have been an abomination, an outcast.

Just a bit more class is expected. At face value, obviously Michelle's latest efforts come across as being widely acceptable. Health advocation, military, work-family balance, etc. sounds good and like what past first ladies have done. Her comment on slaves building the White House was completely unnecessary though. Here we have a chance to easily push aside race and these people bring it up every chance they get.
Go after her for the stupid and unnecessary remarks. Make fun of the author for the hypocrisy.
Now, this white guilt stuff annoys me to no end. Slavery was/is a terrible crime, but both the culprits and the victims in America are long dead. Don't blame me, because I have not committed this crime. My ancestors haven't either, as I'm third generation Swedish immigrant. We aren't talking about a debt passed down from father to son here, we're talking about living up to MLK's dream today and treating all men equal based on their character. That is something people will never do if they keep focusing on past wrongs to ancestors they likely know nothing of.

February 22, 2009 - 22:44 ET by choselife3xThey make some all natural baby Vicks now, too. The humidifier is a good idea, and when my wee ones are congested I flush their sinuses with warm saline solution. They don't particularly care for it, but it sure is nice to see them breathing easily afterward! Baby aspirators are a life-saver. There should be one in any baby care kit.
Night all!
In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.

February 22, 2009 - 21:43 ET by Mother...Honey chile...you IS WHACK.
Guess who SOLD the slaves? Tic toc tic toc. Yep BLACK PEOPLE SOLD THEIR OWN.
Blacks ALSO had black slaves. Tribal warring is part of BLACK people...it's in their make-up...that's why black on black crime is so rampant.
The 'slave/bondage' victim shit is tiresome. Find another venue. Race relations were set back badly enough by the blithering, rabid blacks who cheered the double murder O.J.'s acquittal.
Take a good, hard, realistic look at Mother Africa and get back to me.
Black people are NOT stupid or lazy in OTHER countries. Only ours... It's time to start owning up to your own lazy asses and stop the self-pity game. Do you want you and yours to be a slave to welfare forever? Because welfare WILL enslave you if you get too comfortable on the gov'ment dole.
Stop playing the victim when it doesn't count. Remember the asshole who hung Sarah Palin's likeness by a rope? Was there any outcry from the blacks/lefties THEN? Nope. You only Cry WOLF when YOUR agenda is at stake.
You and your ilk sicken me and this is why our country is SCREWED right now. You infiltrate the school system in order to turn children into Dems from the cradle to the grave. You are EVIL and your mindset is a disgrace and verging on being a CULT.
There are plenty of us WIDE-AWAKE people who see right through you and your race baiting bullcaca.

Spot on though! Bwahahahaha! My face is hurting from laughing so hard! hehe. Thank you for the laughs...it sure beats crying. :))
Aunt Esther could stop a clock with a mere glance...
February 22, 2009 - 21:06 ET by R D Helm...but Michelle could scare paint off a wall.
:-O

Our clueless political leaders are about to drive us all over a cliff. The time to HITM is now-before we go over.
Dave, Aunt Esther...
February 22, 2009 - 21:10 ET by Mother...Can give good stink-eye.
Michelle gives the evil wonk eye. Beware the wonk eye! Beware!
Pay no nevermind to the flabby ghetto onion behind the black widow spider dress.
Aunt Esther, bigtimer
February 22, 2009 - 20:43 ET by Mike BatesI didn't ever watch much of Sanford, but didn't Aunt Esther have a sweeter personality than the woman who's never been proud of her country?
Mike... LOL....GMTA! Loo
February 22, 2009 - 20:48 ET by bigtimerMike...
LOL....GMTA!
Look above if you haven't already caught it....
...and yes she was MUCH sweeter, you couldn't help but love her squinty-eyed with daggers routine!
bt, If you look at that pic of Michelle and squint just a little
February 22, 2009 - 21:43 ET by R D Helm...you can almost see her say, "Barack, you fish-eyed fool!"
LOL.

Michael M., I think...
February 22, 2009 - 20:51 ET by Mother...a garden gnome has a better, kindler, gentler disposition than our current FL.
I betchya Michelle makes Hillary look like an innocuous PowerPuff Girl by comparison.
Perhaps the irony lies in the fact that Michelle's husband is going to take our beloved country for which all it stands, a country she is 'now' proud of and send it right down the shitter, do not pass go and if you're lucky, collect a few 0bama bucks. Monopoly money here we come!
Nice!
garden gnome, Mother
February 22, 2009 - 21:20 ET by Mike BatesDuring the campaign she said:
"Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."
She was running for First Scold I guess.
"First Scold", Michael M.?
February 22, 2009 - 21:29 ET by MotherIndeed. I feel a spanking coming on...only instead of taking us out behind the shed...we are gonna 'git' it in full daylight. How dare my husband and I toiled and worked and saved with good standing with our debts and paying on time?! How DARE US?! We should have just slacked and sat back and waited for Zero to come along and save us from our own lazy, pathetic, grubbin' arses.
The horrors that will unfold when the Zeros implement their idea of health sCare is going to be a real doozy.
MY COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN THIS!
pfft!

February 22, 2009 - 20:24 ET by bigtimerIf it is Lynn Sweet...
I don't read it.
All O... all the time.
I ask mb to pass the duct tape....as I reach for my barf-bag.
The newest item on her
February 22, 2009 - 20:34 ET by TN MomThe newest item on her non-controversial agenda is healthy living
Easy to do when you bring your own, personal chef to the White House, dine at five-star restaurants for valentines day and your children attend private schools. That, and she doesn't have to worry about paying her mortgage...
She won't rest until
February 22, 2009 - 20:39 ET by motherbeltShe won't rest until there's not a single woman in America who can't confidently wear a sleeveless dress!!
And why isn't Lynn Sweet kvetching about whether Michelle is giving her daughters enough attention?????

Obama overload, Dave
February 22, 2009 - 21:05 ET by Mother...all of Zero's hard-core campaigning got him the 'position' but also made him out to be akin to a tiresome 'informercial' from hell that keeps playing over and over and over ad nauseam.
Zero is STILL in campaign mode because he's CLUELESS and trying to 'cover' for it by talking to the 'little people'.
Meltdown, train-wreck countdown...
More on M'chel
February 22, 2009 - 20:45 ET by slickwillie2001Some comments on her goofy address to the Department of Agriculture:

I assume it sounded better in the original Klingon. Let's hope she picks up no responsibility more substantial than delivering meaningless boilerplate.
Oxymoron:

SHE aka Aunt Esther, is as far to the left
February 22, 2009 - 21:28 ET by Delsaas HE is an empty suit.
They are VERY dangerous people in positions of great power who are surrounded by other dangerous people.
Time to pray for the United States big time!
Sterling, for
February 22, 2009 - 21:35 ET by Delsayour information fur balls and Aunt Esther, as they pertain to Mrs SOBama, are COMPLIMENTS!
After all, cats are very proud of their furballs and are healthier cats because of them and Aunt Esther is a television star.
So what is your problem?
At least she hasn't been called a communist yet. Could be coming though.
And another thing -
February 22, 2009 - 21:47 ET by BO STINKSThat woman (MO) has evil oozing out of her pores. Anyone with any kind of sense can see the selfishness that controls her.

Sterling, if Mrs SOBama is "ravishing 66% of the time"
February 22, 2009 - 21:47 ET by Delsawhen you gaze upon her, how do you hold down a job?
Being unstable 66% of the time is not a good thing.
just sayin

Ouch. A face only a mother could love.

February 22, 2009 - 22:01 ET by Delsathe dress you are talking about, as my twenty year old son remarked, "looked like drapes and toilet paper sewn together".
I must confess to not watching the festivities and I admit to being happy for it.
Sterling, I know you will be happy here at least 34% of the time.

It takes time to Cross Stitch "For The First Time In My Adult Life I'm Proud Of My Country".
Michelle Obama is checking her photo album for the perfect photos of Rev Wright, Terrorist Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko to adorn the walls...
why Obama is spending time at so many Federal agencies?

February 22, 2009 - 22:32 ET by dukasWe already paid for slavery with 560,000 American lives.
I read today on the American Thinker it was two Wasps and a Jew who started NAACP and kept it going for years until blacks could train themselves as lawyers and take over. One of the Jewish guys even made an I had a dream speech, of which Mr. King made real. I too do not like making fun of a persons looks, that of which they are born with, but I feel no hesitancy in saying her husband is a narcissistic coke-head con-artist hustler who has appointed tax cheats and scam artists to his cabinet and appointed a terrorist loving, race baiting coward as OUR Attorney General! And none of those attributes our dear president Obama was born with, each corrupted thought was taught.
By the way Sterling, the so called comedy shows they have on H.B.O. now, those liberal broads sure got some trashy mouths, birth defects seem to be their forte’. Our minds are also something we are also born with and for 8 years I’ve been hearing that Bush is a moron and posters on wishing him dead littered New York City streets for those eight years as well.
Of course, comments about
February 22, 2009 - 23:28 ET by RR GOPOf course, comments about The One's "glistening pectorals" and how sexy and athletic he is, and how "elegant", blah, blah, blah she is are A-OK because they're positive comments.
I seem to remember many insults from the left about how George Bush looks (ears especially?), as well as the constant agist attacks against Sen. McCain. Oh, and the 'Barbie doll' stuff about Palin.
OK, so Michelle is a "strong black woman." George Bush is a strong white man. Somehow, I don't think Communists accept the latter as anything positive. Just how they play the game.
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
RR... ...and that game
February 22, 2009 - 23:35 ET by bigtimerRR...
...and that game plan they will stick to as long as it keeps reaping a surplus in the voting booth.....and of course$$$..which goes without saying.
She wears the pants in the White House, no doubt
February 23, 2009 - 01:05 ET by RpeggioI've always thought she wore the pants in the Obama household. His passivity has been on display early in his Presidency with allowing Pelosi to steam-roll him and draft the porkulus bill and be as partisan as they come, while he tries to sell bipartisanship. Not looking good folks....
Michelle wears the pants in the White House
February 23, 2009 - 09:55 ET by Mike BatesSomeone has to.
Hmm...
February 23, 2009 - 10:56 ET by Roger the ShrubberWhen will Michelle host the Klingon delegation at the White House?
It's a tribute to affirmative action and her Princeton degree...
February 23, 2009 - 11:02 ET by CKA in Red State USA. . . how well she's making the White House her realm.
And she's finding out about Washington? Now that's an act of high intelligence to find out about D.C. BTW: Did she ever spend time there with Barack while he was pretending to be a senator? Oh, wait, he was always campaigning hither and yon, so she'd have been there by herself.
Healthy living, too? My, oh my. I guess that means the tubs of lard, wheels of cheese, sides of beef, etc., that the Bushs had stashed there are being tossed. They'll have lots of argula and mung-bean sprouts, brown rice, radicchio, water cress, etc.
We are so fortunate that Hope and Change dawned on Jan. 20, aren't we?
Right.
"Argula"? Oops. Meant . . .
February 23, 2009 - 11:03 ET by CKA in Red State USA"Arugula."
Arugula
February 23, 2009 - 11:16 ET by Mike BatesWhich reminds me, I need to do a grocery list this morning. Hope the price of arugula hasn't shot up too much. Maybe arugula producers will get a Fedgov bailout.

February 23, 2009 - 11:34 ET by NL207The Narcissist ought to try growing some of this himself like most of us plebians do. Some scatching in the dirt would do this empty suit some good.
