Why or why did I just watch Sean Hannity interviewing Michelle Malkin? I know. I must be a glutton for punishment. But I just had to hear what MM had to say about the First Lady as she tries to garner sales for her latest book.

The basic premise of her 400 page volume attempts to prove that everyone in the Obama Administration is corrupt. Yes, including the First Lady. The proof she offers, as Hannity foams at the mouth in virtual glee, is the First Lady’s involvement with the Urban Health Initiative (UHI) at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The two paint the UHI as a brainchild of the First Lady and others defrauded the southside of Chicago in nothing more than a “patient dumping scheme” for personal monetary gain. Dispite the fact that similar Urban Health Initiatives, five of which are funded by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation (of Johnson & Johnson fame) are located in several urban areas including Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Oakland), Malkin and Hannity would have us believe that the First Lady devised an elaborate strategy to take from the very community in which she was born and raised.

At the heart of their “got-cha” expose’, Malkin and Hannity point to anecdotal instances when U of C emergency room patients (primarily poor and Black) had to wait for hours before being seen or were turned away because of the lack of medical insurance. And these anecdotes prove, in their minds, that the First Lady is part of a left-wing conspiracy to take over America led by her husband, the President.

According to the website, the UHI is a multi-faceted program that has seven basic components:

  1. The South Side Health Collaborative Primary Care Referral Program
  2. Grants to Expand Capabilities of Our Partners
  3. Filling Beds at Underutilized Hospitals and Providing UCMC Doctors
  4. Encouraging Alumni to Practice in Surrounding, Underserved Communities
  5. Conducting Research to Provide More Effective Community Health Care
  6. Helping Community Health Centers Grow Their Patient Population
  7. Advocating Health Care Policies at the State and Federal Levels

By definition, I am not poor and I have pretty decent health insurance. So, now I’m wondering why I have to schedule my yearly medical visits three months in advance and then have to wait for at least 45 minutes to see my doctor only to be at the counter with my co-pay in hand 10 minutes later. And don’t even talk about having to go to urgent care or the emergency room, cause unless you’re practically on your death bed you’d have time to read Michelle Malkin’s 400 pages of delusional garbage from cover to cover.

  1. You could offer to pay me to watch Hannity/Malkin and I would turn you down. They are not worth it, and the only people who fall for their bunch of dogdo are racists, who can not stand the fact that Blacks are in the White House, and they are not cooks,or maids.

  2. Lynn Gonzalez

    You are wrong to accuse First Lady of being corrupt. One day you will eat your words and hopefully apologize.

  3. hateration – plain and simple.

  4. kayldoubleu

    I know the economy is bad…but Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity stop turning tricks and whoring your journalist gifts out by writing trash to eat and pay bills. Karma is a bitch!!!

  5. JMReynolds

    The problem with all of the Obama worshippers is that none of you “can handle the TRUTH”, even when it hits you square in the face.

    There is so much evidence on Michelle Obama and UHI that is fact-based proving she is corrupt along with her husband, but you sit in denial with blinders on — selectively — because she’s your GIRL.

    You will go one UHI’s website and just gobble up the garbage that’s listed — praising and honoring MO — while all the while the facts won’t be found there. How objective is this I say? Open your minds and do some real homework; real research in this matter. I bet you’ll find out things that you never thought about. Get educated and stop listening to main-stream media. They’ve been paid off by the Obamas. Or should I say, the main-street media has been coerced and persuaded to jump on the Obama Train or else! It’s called Chicago politics —- or just plain Thuggery. Or haven’t you heard!

    Well, it’s just a matter of time (and very soon) that your worlds will come tumbling down. And when that happens, just remember, Michelle Malkin, Sean Hannity, and I TOLD YOU SO!

    Socialism/Neo-Marxism/Fascism/ and maybe even Communism is on it’s way to your home —- Hope you enjoy it! Suckers!

    Wow!!! These people are truly PSYCHOS
    !

  7. Sandra

    Pepper, I agree with you – WOW, indeed!!!! JMREYNOLDS, go back to school, please – Fascism and Socialism/Communism are opposites – only to uneducated white America are they the same!

  8. Dee

    Well, thank you to Ms. Malkin for proving that it is truly the empty bag that makes the most noise….

    (She needed 400 pages…?!)

    I am so tired of all these folks. I might have some respect for them if they would just be HONEST and state that they truly have a problem accepting an African-American president and have an African-American family in the White House. Just as they rant-on endlessly, all they have to do is to say, “I DO NOT WANT BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE EXCEPT AS SERVANTS TO WHITE FOLKS. (I might be wrong: they probably will want all white staffs in order to keep the White House pristine-white!)

    I know that the young lady is Asian-American; but for celebrity and money, she doesn’t give a kitty about anything that she says and prints as long as she stays in the limelight and makes money. She may rue the day that she sold her soul to the devils; because just like her white associates and their followers pounced negatively on a Latina and continues to demean African-Americans, Asian-Americans might not be far behind.

  10. THC

    What hatred! I do not watch Fox News but there she was on the Today Show. I changed the channel.

  11. BC

    BUSBUS, We are >>>><<<<

    I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say. The people that are spewing hate are nothing more than rracist red necks sat in their log cabins and drowning their sorrows in moonshine.

    They cannot bear the fact that the likes of Michelle is not a baby mama, not on welfare, not peddling drugs, not living in the projects. In fact Michelle has singlehandedly removed every ignorant sterotype laid at the doors of black women in America.

    She’s beautiful, educated, smart, married, doesn’t have a smutty sexual past, hasn’t had past lovers trashing her in the Enquirer. To top it off, she is living in the White House and for the rest of time will go down in history as the first black woman to have do so. She has people (white people too) at her beck and call, she has her meals cooked for her. She eats, dresses, travels and lives like a queen. She goes to Paris and New York for date night when the haters go to Red Lobster.

    It pains me the way people can spew such hate and venom on a woman that does not even know that they even exist. They need to get themselves a life, get a hobby, get a job, do some volunteer work, grow herbs in their garden…. do anything. Get a life, haters and get on with it because Michelle is getting on with hers.

    What I don’t understand is how the conspiracy theorists/right wingers think that the Obamas can just “pay off” the mainstream media. Of all the gossip and misinformation out there, this one seems the most absurd. Apparently the Obamas paid off the media to not mention his birth certificate, to hide Michelle’s shady work past, and to supposedly rebrand their black militancy with J. Crew twin sets and a perm. Are you kidding me???? On top of it all, Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity are supposed to be the cunning detectives who’ve uncovered the whole thing. This gossip is pathetic and I’m really saddened by the lengths people will go in attempting to justify their xenophobia and racism.

    Over the past two years we have repeatedly seen the ways in which people have tried to tie Michelle back to negative stereotypes of black females, the lastest being the “First Diva” label (see the blogroll), and Michelle Malkins uber controlling angry black woman with no integrity. These attempts have only gotten harsher and more overt, and I hope that they continue. The presence of such an absurd person like Michelle Malkin juxtaposed with Michelle Obama’s unwavering grace will continue to undermine the GOP, build more support for the Obama’s/Dem agenda, and provide fuel for the many intelligent, amibitious, and attractive invisible Michelles (like me!) to strive confidently for the best.

  13. What is ashame about these people is they are the ones who’s always talking about this country was built upon christian values, talking about God Bless America, but all I sense from them is HATE. I don’t know about them but the God I read about will have nothing to do with these kind of people. It’s time to be honest and tell it like it is, these people don’t like the fact that a Black Family is the First Family. I am so glad God knows all and he sees all. And this Michelle Malkin must think she is white. But a KKK member would show her a thing or two if she wonder through the south afew years ago. It’s fine to disagree with President on the issuses, but these people have been attacking the Obamas on everything they can. The Obamas have been call everything but a child of God. One thing about HATE, it can destroy you. I think there might be alittle jealousy from that Malkin girl.

  14. grace

    We cannot sit on the side lines and do nothing! These people are haters and will do what is necessary to destroy the Obamas. They did it to the Clintons and now they are doing it to the Obamas. I hope they fight back with law suits. Enough!

  15. dg

    I thought Obama was an Hawaiian American…
    Everyone should look at the facts, not the skin tones. I don’t see black, I see muslim (just kidding). So far, I have not meet anyone who disagrees with the President because of color, only his choices in spending OUR money.

    SE, I love the way that you say what you said!

    Standout;

    “Over the past two years we have repeatedly seen the ways in which people have tried to tie Michelle back to negative stereotypes of black females, the lastest being the “First Diva” label (see the blogroll), and Michelle Malkins uber controlling angry black woman with no integrity.

    Google the Newsweek Jan 2009 issue with Obama on the front. Read all the names that halo around him. From the Pope, to Kim Jong-IL, to Tim Geitner, to Hillary and Bill Clinton. Those are the names of the people who are pushing the New World Order. Ever wonder why Kerry and Bush talk about the Skull and Bones Society.

    Remember when people started to see through GW Bush, then all of a sudden this amazing man named Obama sweeps the nation with all these promises? I’m not a Christian, but this sounds a little “The Book of Revelations” to me. The BILDERBERG GROUP was afraid that people would see through Bush and see THEM. THEY pull the strings, and they know nobody will question Obama because he’s black and don’t want to seem racist. (*follow me here*)

    I am a Black woman and I didn’t vote for Obama. It’s time to believe in ideas instead of people. Why is Obama always in the media? Let’s be honest, have you seen any results since he took office? He just does what he’s told and while the Bilderbergs continue to push for the NWO. Critical thinking is being crushed. I went to a state university where some of my professors were fired for teaching classes such as (women’s history, afro-afmerican history, sex & homosexuality, etc) that go against any “norms”. Think outside the box and become open to idea that this may be true.

    I am not a hater just because I have a difference in opinion. I am telling the truth. The answers are all around us. I understand I will receive very hateful and angry replies, but look around you. Where are the jobs, the not crappy health care reforms? Where are the promises. I know “things take time”, but nothing will get done if he’s always on TV. Please stop blindly supporting these people.They are not looking out for this country’s interest. Why is the deadline to pull out troops out of Iraq in 2011?

    You do not have to agree with me, but I ask you not to *believe* but to at least *consider* that this is possible. We live on Planet Earth. In a universe of possibilities. If you’re reading this, you’ve witnessed some kind of miracle before. At least consider that all of what I stated above it possibly true.

    If you’re driver made “two suspect lefts”, wouldn’t you start asking questions?

  18. Dlynn

    FAM_YOU_VHADIR, you are seriously insane!
    to the obama haters, they aren’t losing any sleep worrying about losers who don’t like them.

  19. Aminah Hanan

    I tried watching that interview but my eyeballs started bleeding, so I had to turn.

    @FAM_YOU_VHADIR If you don’t mind me asking, how long has it been since you’ve attended a state university? I’m not trying to sound flip, but I work for a public university and there are a number of professors that are homosexuals who teach Women’s Herstory, African American History, Human Sexuality Courses, etc. Some are even department chairs and they are all openly gay.

    President Obama is on television because he is the President. Wherever he goes the press will follow. I’m thinking 6 months into a 4 year presidency, I’m willing to give him some more time. As a Black woman myself, I’ve lived in a country that’s been making “suspect lefts” for about 400 years, many times throwing people who look like me out of the car. So I was always taught to ask questions and find answers. However, I was also taught to not be suspect of everyone who looks like me. I can think of at least a hand full of past US Presidents who sounded and acted like something out of “The Book of Revelation” and I’m not a Christian either.

    So what did you think about that Hannity Interview?

  20. Dee

    Well, Fam_You_Vhadir, I hope you’ve noted the distinct lack of “very hateful and angry replies.” It is possible to be respectful of another person’s point of view and opinion(s) even if they are not in keeping with the ones that another may hold, and maybe the mildness of the response you’ve received thus far will allow you to see that.

    I’m aware of The Bilderberg Group, having first read about them a few years back, and I’m not naive enough to dismiss out of hand the reports noting the power and influence that the various members of this group have. At the same time, I’m thinking if you’re of the opinion that they’re the ones really “pulling the strings” then why should you care how often the President is “in the media” or about the fact that he’s “always on the TV” since logically thinking, it’d scarcely make a blind bit of difference one way or another….

    I am in complete agreement with you, that we live in “a universe of possibilities” and since so many of my fellow humans seem to dwell on the negative side of those possibilities – and, I’m not unsympathetic, as there’s enough out here to bemoan should the fancy take you – I prefer to try to be realistic and yet positive at the same time. That’ll do for me….miracles would be a delightful, welcome, and unexpected bonus.

    I’m going to echo Aminah, and say 6 months in on a 4 year long term, I’m going to allow the President more time, and wait to see how matters unfold.

    (P.S. Also, curious to know what you made of the Hannity interview….)

  21. I’m so sick of these people talking about Obama spending their money. No one complain when GW was spending money. No one complain when G.W. left this crisis for President Obama to try to get us out of. Now everybody can complain, complain, complain. This man have been in office for seven months and people think he should have everything solve. What do the Republicans offer for the solutions of these problems? Simple, they have no answers, all they have been doing is attack Obama.And we should trust them to solve these problems.I know people with no health insurance, I’ve seen people who had insurance, but an illness left them in serious debt, I have seen people who are playing outrageous premiums. If the Senate and Congress can have great health insurance, why can’t hard working people like myself have it? You have people using scare tactics to scare the elderly. It would be nice if people would remember that we didn’t get into this crisis overnight and we won’t get out of it overnight.I voted for Obama and I don’t regret it one bit. I’m sick of the polls, I’m sick of vote how you think Obama has done his second 100 days, for pete’s sake let the man do the job we elected him to do, and that was for 4 years not six months or 100 days. People are always complaining about taxes, but let a hurricane hit their town, or a flood, or any disaster, and they would expect the government to be right. P.S you couldn’t pay me to watch Hannity or any of that Foxnews. Including Malkin.

  22. Barbara in Arizona

    Thank you, Michelle Malkin, for finally telling the public the truth about the Obamas. Finally, Many of us see the real MO, as the leader of the party. BO listens to her first and foremost,

    Help us, America.

  23. JJ

    To JMREYNOLDS,

    Sounds like you are one of those who just can’t stand the fact that Barack and Michelle are handling their business running the Country effectively and their hue might be a bit different.

    BTW, take this to Rush Limbaugh’s site where they will actually pay attention.

  24. Lydia

    I get so frustrated when I read commentary on sites like this. The polarization that’s taking place in this country allows the 2 party system to manipulate and control us through hate mongering. We are so busy pointing out the other party’s flaws, that we don’t pay attention to what really happening. We as a nation seem more interested in belittling and insulting anyone who doesn’t follow our chosen party line to the point of losing sight of the major issues at hand. Bush landed us in a world of hurt with his run-away spending and heavy handed international politics. The current administration is compounding our financial problems with their over the top spending. Why are we ignoring the congressional budget office’s reports? The CBO has indicated huge deficits, and they usually underestimate. Medicare and social security aren’t going to remain viable for much longer. Real health care reform doesn’t seem possible. And yet, the extreme right and the extreme left control the discussion with ridiculous character attacks. Even though the majority of the nation is in the middle – we follow their lead and get sucked up in this petty stuff. We’ve got important stuff to attend to – NOT how much money Michelle Obama made when she worked, or whether our President was born in the US, or whether Bush dodged the draft or not. The people that hate the Obamas are not all racists – they fear his politics. The people that spent countless dollars and energy trying to prove Bush a criminal are hate mongers too. We allow the haters to distract us from the real issues. In a nutshell – the critics render our government ineffective as they destroy the credibilty of our elected officials in the hopes that they can stave off any major changes until the other party gets the reigns of power. In the mean time medicare, social security, real health care reform, and other serious issues do not get addressed because WE ALLOW this to happen. None of our presidents are perfect (including Barrack Obama) – they are human, they are going to make mistakes, everyone does. Let’s accept the fact that we are all in this together. so the longer we continue to belittle and berate the other side, the bigger the problem becomes because WE go nowhere.

  25. Belinda

    Some people just make you ashamed to be American. Michelle Malkin is the product of non American parents and she acts like an alien. How can you judge a President in 199 days and write a 400 page book unless you already had the book written just waiting to insert the names. I guess if McCain had won it would be talking about him.

  26. Lynne

    Michelle “me luv u long time” Malkin should not be taken seriously. It is devastating to the premise of respected journalism that she was on “This Week” and allowed to spew on The Today Show and The View. Why not just have the people who write books about the fake moon landing and who have seen Bigfoot on too?

  27. admin

    From the Blog Administrator”me luv u long time” sounds like a racial slur which kind of undercuts the numerous legitimate arguments that can be made regarding Michelle Malkin.

  28. Oslyn Martindale

    I am not an American and do not live in America, but follow closely what goes on in America, as I have family living there. I think it’s disgusting the way H&M is maligning Mrs. Obama just because they have a platform to do so, they claim to know who is pulling the Obama’s strings, has anyone ever tried to find out who is pulling their strings?

    Like Belinda said “How can you judge a President in 199 days and write a 400 page book unless you already had the book written just waiting to insert the names.”

    If the persons attending those town hall meeting and are so negative would just sit their butts down and read the health plan for themselves they will see that the president is only attempting to help them. In addition they will be more credible if they give constuctive criticism.

    Do they see the persons who are engouraging them to diss this plan out there protesting NO, they and their families have top of the line medical Insurance and in most cases paid for by the taxpayers .

    The country in which I live is being torn apart by racial politics, please do not give credence to persons who have their own secret agenda.
