Why is this even a story? This is why the media is becoming irrelevant, first, let's start with Oprah I do not care for her show, her entertainment, etc. but I'm a a capitalist and as so I admire her for working hard and succeeding. Now to her hypocrisy, you see, it is only under a capitalist system that her efforts, talent, and hard work got rewarded with success, money, and privilege. Had she been born in France, Spain, Kenya, Zambia, or Tanzania she would have been simply Oprah who works on a television show.
Now to Michelle Obama who has stated "for the first time in my life, I'm proud to be an American", yes she went to an Ivy League so did millions of others and she is a lawyer so are 100s of thousands of others, remember that prior to her being the first lady she was a lawyer who was married to a Senator and most of the people that voted for her husband did not even know she existed, let alone what she excelled at.
So I ask what has she done to deserve such fame? oh yeah I forgot she is the first lady who is married to the Socialist in Chief who not only thinks that the best way to reward producers is by punishing them for being successful, he is in the process of turning the private sector into government run companies a la French mode. This incompetent president is on his way to derail everything our forefathers have fought for. The Constitution to the Socialist in Chief is more of a redaction than the supreme law of the United States and let's talk about his "accomplishments" so far:
1.a spending program of epic proportions that our kids will have to pay for to our "owners" the debters i.e China et al.
2.Naming a Tax cheat to run Treasury which includes the IRS, just brilliant
3.Naming many other tax cheats to cabinet posts, i.e Nancy Killefer, Bill Richardson, Tom Daschle, Hild Solis, Ron Kirk..
4.Moving the census out of the Department of Commerce and into the White House, politicizing how federal aid is distributed and electoral districts are drawn.
5.Waived his lobbying rules for William Lynn, who lobbied for a defense contractor as recently as last year, to serve as deputy Defense secretary
6."For months, the Obama administration and members of Congress have known that insurance giant AIG was getting ready to pay huge bonuses while living off government bailouts. It wasn't until the money was flowing and news was trickling out to the public that official Washington rose up in anger and vowed to yank the money back." -- Associated Press, 3/18
I can go on and on about his failing policies. Now before anyone out there comes out with character attacks on me, since that what seems illogical people do because they cannot reason, here is a bit about me.
1.I'm an American who believes in individualism, hard work, and belief in oneself.
2.I did not vote for Bush neither in 2000 nor 2004
3.I'm not a Republican and never been one
4.I do not vote party lines. I vote on principles
5.Oh yeah I almost forgot I'm a black woman so don't try the race card on me
Thanks and I would love to hear your comments
