| Michelle Obama, who broke the traditional first lady model by campaigning nonstop for her husband's reelection and boosting him among women and younger voters, is now considered the gold standard for modern-day presidential spouses. "There is no question that the first lady raised the bar for future spouses -- not just because of how hard she worked but also her sway and popularity with voters," said Karen Finney, former spokeswoman for former first lady Hillary Clinton. "Rated on energy, charm, and political smarts, Michelle Obama is the most important and successful first lady in a presidential campaign

Comments: No!! Now there's only so much a human being can take of this insanity. Isn't it amazing the name of Laura Bush does not pass those idiots' lips. s/o Their arrogance continues to amaze me. And to think we have to look at that hateful witch for four more years. Oh groan.

Michelle has no class. Michelle has NO dignity. She is the worst first lady ever. She is ignorant and arrogant. She loves taking her many expensive, lavish, and luxurious vacations all at the taxpayers' expense; she brings all her family and friends. She does this, because before her husband was elected she could not travel in such luxury or style. She feels quite entitled. No, she is a horrid, wretched first lady, and she should keep her opinions to herself. We do not want her advice, and we certainly do want to see so much of her.

They have to make up stories like this because Michelle is so pathetic. She can't even speak English, dresses as if she is in competition with her teenage daughter, has ugly armpits and behaves in an unseemly matter in public. She may be a woman ?? but she ain't no lady and never will be.

End Affirmative action by race and make it on merit and need.
Do the obama girls need a hand up or can Barack and Michelle pay their way out of his now $11 million?
Affirmative action by need and merit benefits the country as high brainpower poverty kids get a hand up--works across the board and Asian kids succeed on their own--they need it? They probably don't take it or fake it like Elizabeth Warren.
Barack Soetoro Frank Marshall Davis Hussein Obama II has another surprise for the whites. Mandated and enforced race based outcomes. Your next doctor might be an affirmative action prop up? Actually, the Indians from India are quite superb--wonder if they will do being just darker shaded Caucasians?

FTA: "Michelle Obama, who broke the traditional first lady model by campaigning nonstop for her husband's reelection...." I'm sure she all tuckered out from doing this since she doesn't know what a truly tough day of work is, so she'll need to take an enormously expensive vacation at our expense to rest up. In fact, I would venture to say that she "worked so hard" to guarantee continued taxpayer funded vacations for her, her mom and kids. I've been wanting to go to the Grand Canyon on vacation for a few years now, but can't justify spending the money especially now that my husband has been laid off. Sigh.....

With this election, what Muchelle wears, eats, does, doesn't matter. Who cares what gets written about her.Why are we even wasting time on this? What matters is that this country that was at a tipping point on November 6 has now tipped. And we should be seriously thinking about how to get it back, or we should just give up. If we are not going to give up, then please, let's not get side tracked on this crap about this ugly woman. We need to take the SENATE in 700+ days. That's important. But, Muchelle, not.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

And we can reduce our deficit, stabilize our debt, and do so without sacrificing the kinds of investments that are going to be required to grow. During his remarks, the president spoke of the

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

In a revelation that may have Colorado voters rethinking their state’s push on gun control, court documents revealed that the mass shooting in Aurora that killed 12 and injured 70 more could have been prevented by law enforcement. The psychiatrist for suspect, James Holmes, had warned campus police that Holmes was dangerous and homicidal a month before the shooting took place. Lynne Fenton even told the police that Holmes had begun to stalk and threaten her, and yet no action was apparently taken: A University of Colorado psychiatrist told campus police a month before the Aurora

Rep. Peter King of New York on Friday cast Sen. Marco Rubio as a hypocrite for voting against the the Hurricane Sandy relief package and expressed disbelief that the Florida senator would then turn around and try to raise campaign money in the region. Mr. King questioned how Mr. Rubio could vote against the $60 million in relief for New York and New Jersey when Florida has received loads of federal money for Hurricane victims. “Guys like Marco Rubio of Florida, with all the money that you people have gotten in Florida over the years, with every hurricane

Al Sharpton’s National Action Network in New York, Politico reported. “It is time to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about our criminal justice system. … It is time to examine our systems and determine what truly works.” Mr. Holder said in the Politico report

Jon Favreau told students at Harvard University´s Institute of Politics that TV portrays political leaders wrongly, and that the public ends up with a bad view of those in power. "I think that a lot of people turn on the news today, a lot of young people, and they hear people tell them that every motivation of every politician on either

Joyce Karam, Washington correspondent for pan-Arabic daily Al-Hayat, offers a sobering assessment on the Al-Arabiya website of the current administrations efforts in the post-”Arab Spring” Middle East. She begins by noting a how a minor recent diplomatic walkback highlights the White House’s contradictory policy: It was only fitting that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces another traditional trip to the Middle East on the same day that the U.S. embassy in Cairo withdraws its tweet advancing the case for Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef as he faces intimidation from the Mursi government.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office?

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
