Michele Obama is an EXTREMELY intelligent, well read, well bred, polite, soft spoken caring woman, mother, wife, daughter. She behaves with class and integrity, she loves her God, her country, her family. .
Did you overlook this "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country "
If the only time you are proud of your country is when the voters elect your husband....... that reflects a lot of anger....
Like she said herself, when asked about this authors claims....."what have I got to be angry at, my life is amazing".
That doesn't dispel anything. She's trying her best to craft a public image of her, her husband, and their relationship. The Obamas are not just a family, and a couple, but a political brand.

But Michelle does have an aura of strength, (I'm glad you noticed)..... which is NOT AT ALL a projection of "masculine power",
Her type of "strength" is very masculine; and yes, there is a tremendous difference between masculine and feminine strength. Female lawyers are notorious for having to compete "in a man's world," and thus develop the coarse behavior of men.
This is why conventional wisdom among men is to marry nurses or teachers, not lawyers.

but is due to great self confidence and belief in ones self, regardless of gender.
Right, that's the positive way to describe the intolerable self-centeredness of a "diva" -- "belief in one's self."
If you're a guy, that's called "being a douche bag."
Quote:
A strong man does not need to find fault with a woman to make himself masculine, in fact he is the strongest of the male species that wishes to have a strong woman at his side and to produce the strongest offspring.
This is all manipulative nonsense. A strong man wants a woman, not another man.
Obama has never come across as a particularly strong male -- he comes off as a classic "Beta Male", the sort who would be easily dominated by a woman. So really, it doesn't take much from Michelle to cement the impression that she wears the pants.

Especially since she was not earning a lot in the private sector until her husband pulled some political strings and got a Chicago hospital to create a fake job for her at an inflated salary. The job was such a joke that it was not even filled with another person when she left for Washington.
Well, she was quite angry when she found out about Bill and Monica..... and she is white..... so......
Hillary ALWAYS knew about Bill and Monica. Hillary and Bill have had an open marriage since they got together in college. Her anger was that it interfered with her unearned quest for power riding his coat tails.
Did you see the link posted earlier with a whole collage of pictures showing the Michele Obama Scowl? One could argue that a picture is just a snapshot in time, but when you have that many pictures, you begin to see a panorama of the person.
My opinion is what it is, and I think you're being obtuse by ignoring what many people do in fact see in this First Lady.
Oy. Did you even read my first post about putting up a collage of pictures? You could have just as easily do that for almost anyone else. You could have even put up pictures of her smiling. Would any of those have proved any point other than that she frowns or smiles? No. If you want to determine if someone is (insert whatever stereotype you are seeking) you would actually have to seem them in action.
And yes people like yourself may see things in the First Lady that aren't actually there. I'm not ignoring that, I am just stating the fact that there is no logical reason for it.
It was spoken like the true Mediocre, Apathetic, Entitled, Victimized, Angry Black Woman that she is.
sigh.
