Oh, no.

I expect much more than that from her.

I expect her to be a lady with manners, class, breeding and good character.

I also encourage her to develop artistically and intellectually -- playing Mozart on the harpsichord, drawing and painting, etc.

Of course, knowledge of cooking, sewing and gardening are musts -- plus one has to learn to deal with the staff and not let them steal the silver.

Aren't you forgetting the cons going apoplectic over Michelle's bare arms?


Hey, maybe Melania can do a calendar as First Lady!

Are you also teaching her to know her place when a rich man "grabs her by her *****"?


You know, "Shut up about it, he is just a man doing what men do."

Even the going to parties thing - maybe she doesn't like freaking parties but is doing it because it is her duty as First Lady.

I would hate to go to that many parties.

Also, I think you should believe her OP. Look at Melania Trump, who I also feel sorry for in regards to her becoming the First Lady. She doesn't even want to move to the White House and honestly, I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to live there and be constantly verbally harrassed by the public either.

She is the first to complain as far as I know, she has had a huge chip on her shoulder since day one and always appeared to be angry.

Part of her upbringing includes martial arts and using guns.

• You make argument that Mooch must not have known what she was getting herself into. Nonsense. But here's the thing. She's the only First Lady to go on national TV and cry about it along with all the other things she has cried about.

• I gladly admit that I've called her Mooch. It's a fitting name for someone who didn't accomplish a damn thing good for the people while living on the taxpayer's millions. I've never called her a Monkey. Shame on you for implying that.

• See first bullet about the parties thing. She looked to be enjoying all those late night taxpayer funded first class parties.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Good response.

Apoplectic?

Is this what we now call giving good advice?

Michelle should cover up as much as possible.

I understand that financially and in many other ways, there is no problem for them. But mentally, depending on what type of person you are because everyone is different - being in that position can be very taxing. The highs are probably real high, and the lows are probably real low.

Plenty of things to complain about with the Obamas... this is not one of them.

Like I said in another thread, Michelle is ready for the exit.

I have to agree. Give me money without the fame. Especially when you have to be guarded every where you go. The scrutiny of being in high office compounds these problems.

Showing up for school in general might make them aware of opportunities that escape them at present.

This goes to show how classless this woman is.
