Michelle Obama Watch

Michelle just needs to act like a white June Clever and HOPEFULLY the animosity towards her will decrease.

America HATES strong women black or white. Especially black. I have NEVER seen so much negative coverage directed towards a spouse in my life. This is unbelievable.

Hello – Cindy McCain is a drug pill popping, convicted felon, husband stealing whore. Yet, she’s America’s sweetheart.

Do you think it possible with all the years of being nurtured by the affirmative action industry (which by its very nature is racist) and the likes of Rev (not so bright) Wright – that Michelle is just not a nice person? Cheers.

“Do you think it possible with all the years of being nurtured by the affirmative action industry and the likes of Rev Wright – that Michelle is just not a nice person?”

And Cindy McCain is? After all, white women gained the most from the Affirmative Action industry… besides, her own husband called her a “c-u-next-Tuesday” in front of other people. I mean, if he said it and he knows her…

MRO is no more prickly or resentful than any other person walking the face of the earth being subjected to what she is being subjected to. Her experiences are what they are and no white person who is intimidated by what the media has taken out of context about what she has said or feels that their ideals have been personally attacked (when they have not been–talk about hubris!) will ever understand what it is like to have to tolerate idiocy, imbicility, outright stupidity when mediocre white people cannot wrap their heads around the fact that blacks can and have achieved quite a lot despite the laws set in place to stop them from achieving (remember, it used to be against the law to teach a black person to read)and they are not anomilies or freaks of nature because they have overcome and out-performed. Most of the idiots on FoKKKs Noose are angry, prickly and resentful–they just smile a lot to fool the dummies watching.

Don’t confuse a strong, black woman who is sick of the BS being throw at her with not being nice. That is where you are making your mistake.

And “cheers” back at you.

Posted this in another thread, but seems to fit here as well:

So basically, these people want Michelle to sit back, shut up, and be pretty for photo-ops ala Cindy McCain, Laura Bush, etc. Hell no!! This woman is an accomplished, professional, educated woman. A hard-working wife and mother. Anyone can see that she and Barack had a true partnership when it came to their family and careers. I’m sorry, but she isn’t some piece of arm-candy, who speaks when spoken to, or walks 10 paces behind her husband (as Cindy McCain, seems to do) she is an accomplished person in her own right. I would say that she’s just an African-American version of Hilary Clinton circa 1992. I’m proud of her accomplishments, and what where she come from, and anyone who isn’t can you know what! Because let’s be honest here, the type of person/voter who will not vote for Obama because of Michelle not being the “right kind” of First Lady for the country pretty much also thinks that Barack Obama isn’t the “right kind” of President for the country either. In other words, I don’t picture this segment of the population going “well I like Barack, but that wife of his a real…”
So let’s not sugar coat what going on here.

All the Obamas’ can do is what they are doing now. Telling Michelle Obama’s story and reintroducing (not making over) her to America. After that, what can they do short of holding a gun to someone’s head, you can’t make them do a damn thing. If they want to like her they will, if they don’t, they won’t simple as that. But Michelle Obama or any other woman candidate/candidate spouse (even Cindy McCain) should not have to demean herself, or downplay her accomplishments to make some probably bigoted idiot vote for her husband.

Opps — replace “is” with “are” — my bad.

The Mads, I’m just typing a quick few words in complete support of your words before I head for bed (it’s not far off 1.00am in the morning over here in London!).

Still, it’s in support of Michelle, so I really don’t mind staying up a little later than I should!

I am thoroughly enjoying seeing Michelle out here, and want to hear a whole lot more from her, too. Barack, you are a very, very lucky man…but then I do believe you know that!

Thank you, Danielle for your generous and timely comments. They are appreciated.

I just feel a need to add that Michelle is a person that we as Black women do not see too much of in the White media.

She is wonderful for all the reasons that the previous poster, Danielle listed and many more.

I just wanted to say that Whoopi Goldberg made a comment on “The View” that has been – not one bit surprisingly – ignored,when she in essence thanked Michelle for representing dark-skinned Black women in such a positive manner.

This is to take absolutely nothing away from our equally lovely and accomplished lighter-of-tone Black sisters, but in a Western world where for the longest time White has been seen as good, positive and worthy and Black as bad, evil and negative, we have not seen too many of Michelle’s lustrous complexion out here, putting forth such a wondrous portrayal of Black women.

More, more, more Michelle!!

Michelle is wonderful the way she is. She does not need any “make makeovers.”
