A light hearted look at the FLOTUS, Vol VII

I know all about Michelle's history, including the fact her law license was revoked. Sorry, but I dont give folks extra points for being born black.

 

so true!

 

Oh please do look up why she no no longer has a license. When you finish dining on crow get back to us.

 

Yeah, we can see that Black folks don't rank very high with you.

 

Like I said, I know her history. After law school. Michelle worked for Sidley Austin lawfirm in Chicago... her co worker was Mrs William Ayers who was also responsible for picking new interns. She picked a clean and articulate young Harvard grad named Barack Obama, introduced him to Michelle and left the firm. A few years later, the Ayers hosted a reception in their home to announce Barack's entrance into politics. (Nevermind Barack describing Ayers as 'just a neighbor' -- that was a lie... the first of many.)

Although the brillant Harvard grads had law degrees, neither excelled in their chosen trade and moved to a more lucrative field of community activism. Both their law licenses were revoked for inactivity.

As a couple and individually, the Obamas have accomplished nothing but pulling the wool over some peoples eyes.

If you'd like to research my accounting, Google WHEN MICHELLE MET OBAMA. First article I read by this title was in Ebony Magazine and named Mrs Ayers. Shortly after that, the article disappeared and similar articles never mention Bernadette Dohrn. However, doesnt erase the fact she was there, as reflected in this source.

From 1984 to 1988, Dohrn was employed by the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin LLP. In 1991 she was hired by Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, as an adjunct professor of law.

According to Barack on Oprah..

My First Date With Michelle
Barack Obama, U.S. President

I met Michelle in 1988, after my first year of law school, when I took a summer job at Sidley & Austin, a law firm in Chicago. A year earlier I had been working as a community organizer in some of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods, and I struggled with the decision to go to a large firm. But with student loans mounting, the three months of salary they offered wasn't something I could pass up.

Michelle worked at Sidley, too, and, in the luckiest break of my life, was assigned to be my adviser...

Now dont you feel silly for questioning my knowledge on this subject?

 

Would you like to compare zip code demographics? People who live in lily white communities shouldn't call other people racists.

LOL! Thanks for a good laugh. As a poor Black woman, I can assure you I've never lived in a lily White neighborhood. Most of my neighbors are Mexican; my town is 77% Mexican. They are good people.

I admire Michelle Obama. I have never been able to understand the hate and venom directed at her. It can't be just her hair (nappy according to you), her looks or her clothes. It seems as if some people simply resent having an articulate, intelligent Black woman as First Lady.
And that is so sad.

 

No, the sad part is the day her husband agreed to be packaged and sold as a black man. Anybody else noticing their skin color is considered a racist. If Barack Obama had demanded that he be called an American instead of a black man, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

I despised Michelle Obama because of her sour disposition and arrogant personality. I mentioned her nappy hair in response to a hateful remark about Melanias greasy face. This thread is volumes long. If youd like to read from the beginning youd see the criticism directed at Michelle was a drop in the bucket compared to the unfounded hate being documented by your ilk toward Melania Trump.

 

Your gentle humour is beyond reproach.

 

Sad but true.

 

1) I don't quite understand...why are you angry about him calling himself a Black man? Don't you think all the other Presidents called themselves White men? What is your point? Of course he is an American.
2) "Sour disposition and arrogant personality". That sounds a little like "she's too uppity and doesn't know her place". Why should you care about her personality unless you had to deal with her on a daily basis?

 

1) Im not angry, but I was shocked and appalled the first time I heard the DNC refer to him by skin color. There went 40 years of learning to judge folks by the strength of their character and not the color of their skin. Cant have it both ways.
2) arrogant as in setting herself up as an authority on nutrition when she had zero training or experience in the field. Arrogant as in inviting The Biggest Losers tv show to film an episode of sweaty bodies rolling around on a priceless carpet inside the White House. Arrogant for taking 12 friends and family on a trip to Africa. Arrogant for demanding 25 personal assistants (Melania has 5.)

Nothing to do with race. Arrogant people come in all colors.

ar·ro·gant
ˈerəɡənt/
adjective

1. having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
   "he's arrogant and opinionated"
   synonyms: haughty, conceited, self-important, egotistic, full of oneself, superior;

 

1) It is a bit naive to be angry at Obama because the DNC and media referred to him as Black. He had no control over them. And so what? Why does that bother you so much? Do you feel threatened by his Blackness?
2) Michelle is not arrogant. The examples you give are of her helping people. She was an activist First Lady. Maybe you don't agree with her choice of who/how to help. But she was still a great First Lady.

 

"Arrogant people come in all colors". But only Black people have nappy hair.

 

Melania Trump is the most inactive first lady since Bess Truman, first lady from 1945 to 1953, so lack of activity is nothing new,” she tells i. “Mrs Trump has fulfilled ceremonial responsibilities. She has read to some groups of children and has visited some children who were in the hospital, but that is about the limit.

Its like the first lady of France observed... shes afraid to open her mouth with all the hate being directed toward her and her family. Nobody blames her except the haters.

 

Your words, not mine.

*stir that pot*

 

Obama was a grown man. Are you saying he had no control over how he was marketed to the American people? I agree he was a puppet, but he went willingly.

What part of 'she had no credentials' qualifying her to design a new food pyramid or mandate school lunches do you not understand? And no, marrying Barack didnt qualify her to do diddly squat. Too bad she didnt focus on improving the lives of innercity children instead of bullying fat kids. Might have made a difference.

 

I understand that she is busy with her family.

 

No, those were your words. But I won't bring it up again. Promise.

 

If she had focused on inner city kids you would have accused her of ignoring suburban kids. It was a no win situation.

 

Thank you, Sallyally for posting that link. Very interesting.

 

This is sooooo false. Their licenses were not revoked but were placed on voluntary inactive status to avoid certain obligations that a practicing lawyer has such as liability insurance. At no time have they been "revoked", nor threatened with revocation, nor had pending disciplinary actions and it is a simple process to reactivate them should they choose to practice law again. To say that they didn't excel is silly, President of the United States is a pretty high goal to achieve. It'd be like saying John Glenn didn't excel as an astronaut because he left NASA to become a senator.
So stop being silly yourself and reflect a little on how racism is a positive and not a negative. It's not. The sooner that you look at people and see human beings and not skin pigments the sooner you'll better appreciate the world around you.

 

People who don’t educate themse

This is why trump loves his base..... let’s just use some common sense before factual. Don’t you think if Michelle‘s license was revoked, it would be on every single news network? Commonsense tells people that it would be a scandal. Let me educate you...in law, if you are not practicing you put your license in what is called inactive status..here educate yourself. Stop reading trashy propaganda sites and check legitimate ones

The law license of Barack Obama was voluntarily retired and Michelle Obama’s license was voluntarily placed in inactive status according to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois (IARDC). Neither of them are practicing law at this time nor do their present jobs require a law license. Both records indicate no public record of discipline or pending proceedings and we have not found any evidence of malpractice.

 

I think her license was revoked for having an affair with putin and Fox news and the Republicans were just trying to protect her and that’s why they were silent ....or course I am being sarcastic,
