sloths and cynics by:Michelle Obama

Really, Michelle? Life has gotten worse for you since you were a little girl? Not according to The New Yorker:

Money was scarce but sufficient. Fraser [her father] took pride in providing for his family. "If the TV broke and we didn't have any money to have it fixed, we could go out and buy another one on a charge card, as long as we paid the bills on time," Marian [her mother] told me. Saturday nights were spent at home playing Chinese checkers, Monopoly, or a game called Hands Down (like spoons, with bluffing). It was a simple time. "I probably had two sleepovers my entire life," Craig [her brother] said. "We were home folks." Many years, the family drove to Dukes Happy Holiday Resort, in Michigan, for a week's vacation.

LOL - aren't you going to tell us what she said?

P.

Double A, I think what I wrote was that she is a loose cannon that he has to control.  Looks like he hasn't accompished it yet.

I should modify that to read that she is an accomplished, intelligent, WILLFUL loose cannon that somehow has to be convinced that she must control herself.  Barack (and others) must convince her, and she must do it, or she is going to sink his ship.  

I might have to strike "intelligent" from the list and add "foolish" if she doesn't keep her anger bottled up. 

If she does knock it off in the interest of greater objectives, then perhaps I can add "wise" to the list rather than take "intelligent" off the list. 

"... this sidecar lunatic".  Colorful characterization degaselli.

Somehow I find it hard to have sympathy for a woman who has a degree and is a lawyer.

So she want's to whine about having to pay back her student loans?

From all accounts the Obama's are doing very well for themselves but I guess it sells better to go before the masses and cry opression.

Get a clue Michelle. What country would you rather have grown up in? Yeah you had it so tough.

Got I hate ALL three of these pandering polititions we have to choose from.
