Michelle Obama Comments: How can this person be called smart?

Agree! Anyone who does not have an articulate speech process should not be considered highly educated. Also agree that the media has been the blinding force behind his so called success. We the American workers know the real story regarding the economy and it's lack of recovery. I am very much looking forward to 2012.

Karin, you are correct Ms Obama does not deserve the adulation that she received by the media. She frequently talks in public like some tween, "you know" and "like, like."

Armchair. is correct that all Presidential parents since Kennedy has asked that their children be left alone from press coverage. It worked for Kennedy, since he and Jackie were must better copy in the time of "children should be seen and not heard." The press let Chelsea off because their Dad was boffing any female near the White House, but the media did not investigate anything about the Clinton. Ken Starr was more closely examined. Some on this BB think Chelsea is hold a sword of disclosure over Bill and Hillary. The Bush twin never got a break by the media and neither did Mrs Bush over an auto accident at 16 or 17. So they media is clearly siding with the Obama's.

The media has never been "nice" to White House Children. Teddy Roosevelt was criticized for allowing his wife and his daughter Alice to dine with Booker T Washington (9? Oct 1901) to the point that this act was an insult to their respective virtue. The Kennedy extended family brats were kept for any negative press even when they killed people.

So yes, there is a media bias for Obama and yes Ms Obama does not speak well in public. As of right now CC has my vote for best answer.

Public speaking is not for everyone. Bill Clinton was good at it. George Bush Jr was not at first, but he went to school after he got in Office and became dam good at it. Hillary however was not a good Public speaker. She is better now though. You see Education has Nothing to do with it. I have heard many a criminal with only a high school diploma speak eloquently. These are called Con men. jeremiah wright who is now infamous because of his Comment in a sermon is a very good public speaker, louis Farrakhan is also very good at speaking in Public. Michelle obama has achieved not only academically but also socially. I have no doubt that People like sarah palin who went to 4 different colleges before she got a BA could match academics with Michelle Obama

The "help from the media" to which First Lady Michelle Obama is referring in this interview is in terms of protecting her young daughters from the gaggle-of-geese press coverage that usually accompanies anyone considered a celebrity. Presidents John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, Lyndon Johnson, and even GW sought to have their children shielded from intense scrutiny or harassment that is sometimes characteristic of elected leaders' press coverage.

The First Lady is also referring to the many racial slurs, threats, and outright lies flung at either her or her husband, President Obama---she carefully shields her girls from hearing this ugliness, like someone trying to malign their mother's intelligence or integrity. Highly intelligent and a good mom, too---also beloved around the world.

i does no longer say that calling her grotesque is racist... in order that beside the point as to make the guy asserting so seem silly. As I bear in mind, McCain mentioned the comparable of Chelsea Clinton; considering the fact that she become a baby on the time i could additionally upload cruelty to his record of costs. bearing on Mrs Obama with animalistic slurs regrettably does smack very strongly of derogatory racist comments that have been used for hundreds of years, suggesting that folk of color have been inferior, unintelligent, and much less beneficial in lots of techniques than animals. no count number if someone easily meant it in a racist way is perplexing to ascertain. i in my opinion could assume maximum adults to have adequate of a heritage to understand the context of such comments and assume the worst. i could be keen to settle for an admission of 'ignorant' rather of 'racist', although.

Okay, Karen, match your education to hers:

She attended Whitney Young High School, Chicago's first magnet high school, on the honor roll for four years, she took advanced placement classes, was a member of the National Honor Society and served as student council treasurer. She graduated in 1981 as salutatorian.

She went to Princeton University. As part of her requirements for graduation, she wrote a thesis entitled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.She majored in sociology and minored in African American studies and graduated *** laude with a Bachelor of Arts in 1985. She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Harvard Law School.

Stop being a hater and respect the First Lady. She looks great. She has class and she is smart. Show some class and respect for our First Lady.

So all you can find is Michelle Obama says "You Know" quite often.

And they get some media help or whatever.

Your hatred for this woman is almost blinding.
