Being the first black lady she always seemed insecure and never prepared herself for the role. every time she spoke she seemed to be holding back what she really wanted to say and always made reference to herself being black or how tough it is being black. She always seemed uncomfortable and she seemed to feel she never got the respect she deserved. I really don't know what she expected after the way she spoke to the public, I mean with the racial overtone in many of her speeches, unbelievable!

See seemed to have no trouble partying with A-list celebs at the White House until 4 am paid for by the taxpayers, after she cried on TV about how "hard" it is for her.

It's just Mooch being a mooch.

Topic is about Michelle Obama, aka Mooch. If you want to talk about that then start a topic. Don't hijack this one.

Nothing wrong with either proposal. Vouchers are good and local control of schools is good. Sounds like, unlike what you said, he really cares about education. My sister is a high school teacher and she says these days teachers are not allowed to teach because of all the federal mandates.

In regards to the teacher's unions, that's irrelevant.

The fact that the Obamas got through meetings with the trumps after Donald spent the last
five years trying to delegitimize obama ' s presidency with the birther nonsense make them
saints in my book.

Found this link to US Magazine discounting the first article by Wall Street Journal that claims the photo was cancelled....Obamas Did Not Cancel First Couples' Photo Op With Donald, Melania Trump - Us Weekly

Both articles can be found/referenced on this link.

More of the Who can we believe type stuff riff throughout this campaign.

  • Wines about how "hard" she has had it as First Lady.

Again, these are brief statements taken out of context. Michelle about Hope (oh and about
being an American)
Michelle Obama spreads message of diversity in her last speech as first lady - POLITICO

Just like all Democrats.
So the Obamas were hypocrites when they sent Sasha and Melia to a fancy private school -- just like the Clintons were hypocrites when they sent Chelsea to a fancy private school...
^^^
Within the last 100 years only one President sent their child to any DC public school (Amy Carter).
Barron Trump will be attending Columbia Grammar Preparatory School on the upper east
side for at least a few months (???). What is the difference or why is there an argument
about Obama sending his girls Sidewell Friends School (which also educated Chelsea Clinton
and the Nixon girls)?

Obama and the Democrats insist that public schools are great.

But then they won't send their own kids to them.

I call that hypocritical.
