Michelle Obama calls herself a "busy single mother."

She corrects herself: "Sometimes when you've got the husband who's president, it can feel a little single, but he's there."

Yeah, that's no flub. Calling yourself a single mother requires conscious effort. She did it unconsciously. Interesting.

Oso Negro म्हणाले...

She's trying to act black.

Gahrie म्हणाले...

Well, the taxpayer is paying to house and feed her and her children......

This should be just as bad a gaffe as a male politican falsly claiming to be a war hero.

She's always seemed unhappy to be playing a political wife. I suspect she would much rather be back home in Chicago among friends and family.

The sound of the world's tiniest violin playing a sad sad song for the First Busy Single Mother.

Unknown म्हणाले...

I think her tongue got a little ahead of her thoughts as she was talking about busy single mothers and also relating it to herself. She's every woman sort of thing.

Amartel म्हणाले...

I think this slip is less a comment on the Obama marriage and more a comment on the auto-whine that plays in Michelle's head.

The horror.

JAL म्हणाले...

She did say once that Barack's mother was a single teen mom. So they could identify. Or something.

But it is weird, isn't it?

JAL म्हणाले...

Maybe when she runs for prez in 2016 she'll run as a single mom.

Laying the groundwork.

O goody, she's eligible for lots of free stuff plus lots of street cred.

Marriage angst, laid bare. Not a happy linebacker, it seems.

Bob_R म्हणाले...

Given the job of POTUS, BO is spending about as much time with the kids as a divorced father with limited visitation rights. (Not a big deal. Same with a lot of other fathers with very busy jobs.)

So, yeah, I would assume that the deal MO and BO have worked out is that she will do most of the scutt work raising the kids. Nice for her that she has a staff of more than 20, and her "job" is hers to define. She gets as much sympathy as any other multimillionaire.

Titus म्हणाले...

She is not pretty. Her weaves and makeup and clothes cannot "mask" the ugly.

My friends and I have given her the drag name of "Atrosia".

Also small tits and an ass you can park a car in on an Amazon woman is not attractive.

tits.

Kind of like Elizabeth Warren being the first nursing mother Native American senator or something.

It's a world where imaginary self image replaces reality.

That sounds about right.

Titus - Is the "deeply shallow" thing just a (very good) act, or is that the real you."

P.S. I doubt that anyone can have more contempt for MO than I. When you think that it's possible that she became a "diversity coordinator" in a hospital for the sole purpose of siphoning money away from keeping sick people alive it's not easy to criticize people who say she's "not pretty," but I'll give it a shot.

Really? She strikes me a one of those people who are always unhappy and complaining regardless of the circumstances.

Titus म्हणाले...

I am serious-I don't think MO is attractive.

That's all.

I don't mind Warren's look. She is a normal to average looking older woman. She has a very Cambridge liberal old school look...who is from Oklahoma-how weird, huh?

I believe her and Obama won like by 90% in Cambridge. Probably similar to a pube vote tally in Mississippi.

Tim म्हणाले...

Liberals' comfort with lies is telling, but for many, they simply aren't willing to listen.

Although, to be fair, I don't doubt for an instant that the First Lady feels really put upon, and that hiding her endless grievances against the world is itself a full-time, all-consuming job.

"Oh, look at me! I am making such a big sacrifice, sacrificing my family life and a husband for your sake, for your goddamn country's sake"

Another whiny fucking spoilt brat. Or she thinks she should pretend that he works and that he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, too busy and preoccupied to care for her and his children.

Roadkill म्हणाले...

Hey, give her a break.

She often has to vacation as a single Mom.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Did she file divorce paperwork after her husband hit on the California AG in public? Perhaps she's just being premature.

Well she corrected it by calling herself a working mom but that's not true either.

This reminds me of the "baby daddy" flap.

She is not pretty.

I think she's real pretty for 49. Although those bangs are horrible in that video clip.

Not as pretty as Jackie O but prettier than Laura, Hillary, Barbara, Nancy, Rosalynn, Betty, Pat or Lady Bird. And what kinda damn hippie names their kid Lady Bird anyway?

I think almost all spoiled married women feel this way no matter how much dad/husband helps out. He needs to be home all the time helping out AND earning a bunch of money so they can go on expensive vacations.

Also, just my honky opinion, but I think young black women are way sexier now than they were 20 or 30 years ago. And it's almost entirely due to hair relaxers.

SukieTawdry म्हणाले...

Meh. I think she just meant to say "busy, working mother." (Which is not to say she isn't a bubbling cauldron of resentment or a perpetually angry woman, because I think she's both.) Notice how she had to quickly clarify that she was referring to her former self. She'd look pretty silly now complaining about having to schlep the kids around or not having time to prepare nutritious meals.

Michelle isn't particularly good at this stuff. During the first campaign, she had a tough time connecting with average women. She would commiserate with the stresses and challenges of working mothers by noting the high cost of private school and ballet lessons.

This is on the secret so don't tell anybody... Michelle is a beard provided by the Jesse Jackson cabal in Chicago.

In the story I heard, it was the Jeremiah Wright/Trinity Church cabal. Church brothers on the down low (of which Jeremiah was one) could keep it on down low by marrying one of the church's spinsters. LOL

God continue to bless the Obama's.

Understanding how one could not expect a certain amount of indulgence for reasons American, if that term has a resonant meaning, is not a conservative goal for reasons broadly encompassed within the limited understanding of my interpretation of Orson Welles.

Chuck66 म्हणाले...

I say she wants to be a victim. Single mother is a good victim status.

Its like one of my friends...a fairly well off white girl from the suburbs, whose parents are quite comfortable and gave their kids everything.

She constantly posts on her facebook page how disadvantaged she is because she is a female. You'd think she was a black growing up in the Jim Crow south.

So the question naturally ends up:

I went to comment at Maggie's Farm Blog.

I couldn't.

"I've rarely felt so troubled when commenting, even on the most finest of eccentric sites, but I've problems.

With the grammar.

The "Not ... but" is not right is it?

Indulging in ignorance as I am because I sometimes learn from doing so, lessons both positive and negative, "diagnosis" were someone to have it, means less to me than to you, and perhaps an irony meter overbounds.

Nevertheless, especially here in CO, a diagnosis, even when in hindsight seemingly accurate if not quite as precise as these cases sometimes are, lacked meaning most profound.


Addendum: my go to website, the Hillsdale one, is no longer giving access to Buckly to me, perhaps merely based on my browser.

Either way, I dislike change like this harshly."

It's a stereotype thing.

Black women are single mothers.

She's feeling the oneness with blackness.

Mitch H. म्हणाले...

She's always seemed unhappy to be playing a political wife.

Really? That'd be weird, she grew up in a "machine" family. People always talk about Obama as if he's a product of Chicago's Machine, but really, he's more of an outside contractor - a technocrat who figured out a grand new trick to let everybody milk the hell out of the federal teat in a novel and ferociously successful fashion. Michelle's parents were foot soldiers in the old machine.

I am serious-I don't think MO is attractive.

Titus, I hate to break this to you, but you're gay. Your metric for female attractiveness is irrelevant at best, unless Mrs. Obama is setting out to become a clothes model at her advanced age.

Not as pretty as Jackie O but prettier than Laura, Hillary, Barbara, Nancy, Rosalynn, Betty, Pat or Lady Bird. And what kinda damn hippie names their kid Lady Bird anyway?

It wasn't her name, just her nickname. I'd have to look up what they hung on her in the birth certificate... "Claudia Alta". Literally nobody addressed her as such. It's kind of a presidential tradition - nobody called Grant "Hiram" or Tecumseh Sherman "William" or even Calvin Coolidge "John Calvin". There was this pre-birth-certificate theory that the reason Obama didn't want his released was that it named him "Barry" or possibly there was a replacement naming him "Barry Soetero". Oh, well. Things were more amusing before the State of Hawaii ruined our fun.

Easy enough to forgive the "single mother" slip, but the insinuation that what she is experiencing is anything like what an ordinary mother experiences is laughable.
