And here’s the full paragraph:

“It’s not that Obama doesn’t know the anodyne, wifely things to say (essentially, nothing). She is, after all, a “community and external affairs” professional. But her pride visibly chafes at being asked to subsume her personality, to make herself seem duller and less independent than she is, even in the service of getting her husband elected President of the United States. In Wisconsin, I asked her if she was offended by Bill Clinton’s use of the phrase “fairy tale” to describe her husband’s characterization of his position on the Iraq War. At first, Obama responded with a curt “No.” But, after a few seconds, she affected a funny voice. “I want to rip his eyes out!” she said, clawing at the air with her fingernails. One of her advisers gave her a nervous look. “Kidding!” Obama said. “See, this is what gets me into trouble.””

There is much in the article which is not flattering to either Michelle or others around Obama. I definitely suggest reading the piece. It touches on Michelle’s arrogance, or at least the perception of same.

I really don’t like her. She just seems like a smug chick, kind of diva-ish.

He did not vote in the primary and he is not registered in Austin! I told him he could not participate. He told me that they told him he could and nobody checked. He seemed kinda sad about the scam and told me that his caucus was run by Obama supporters and he now assumed they did not want to know.

Democracy in action!

These polls are easy to fix, when I worked at the local state party a few years ago, we would sit there and re-click for as long as we could take it. The O-bots probably send text messages to minions telling them to vote…

Did anyone catch Joe Trippi on CNN just now? He said there is more about where Powers came from that may come out soon, things that are caught on tape? Anyone catch that and have any thoughts? While I know it only hurts him, I also want us to get back to the issues!
******************************
I think that she may have made some pro-Palestinian remarks, I believe that I read this somewhere but I’mnot sure. I’m sure that Trippi is just loving this.

Bambi on the other hand is not good at this. They tend to set the bar high and gloat alot. That is why when they lose, it stings i.e NH, ST and ST2.

..and little old ladies, and small town shopkeepers, and clerks at the Pamida Store, and kids who have gown up in towns of about 2000, and PMA’s recruited to town so that we have medical care and…and…and.
+++++++++++++

To you, and Terron (bless your heart-glad to see you back…how’s your wife?), other seers, and even Hawk a little:

This party only learned of the immense turnout that was to come, nationally, at the IOWA caucus.

Since so many of you now seem to have fortune-telling skills we did not know about, why didn’t you tell us BEFORE the train wreak?

If wishes were horses, how’d we ride, how’d we ride, how’d we ride.

It must be fun, to tell the rest of us, in retrospect, how we “could-a, would-a, should-a.”

I’ve said it before-

get your asses to a campaign headqtrs or regional office and put your ideas and $$ and plans out there. Then come back here and tell us how to do it…using links to your outcomes.

hillfans, take a look at florida and michigan. it is going to be so hard to dislodge iowa and nh from being first. looking back i thought is a was great idea michigan and florida challenging the dnc to be before feb 5th. now it looks like they will not count. damn.

Terrondt, there is no way that MI & Fl won’t count. This is a huge mess that the DNC MUST fix. It is resonating in the media and every day that it is not resolved, the voters in those states get’s turned off and will probably not vote in nov or some of them will move to McCain who has a built in talking point to campaign on.

I’m hearing that FL will do a vvote by mail. I tthink that they should seat as is but Bambi won’t agree . He probably things that he can cut her lead more with a revote. I live in FL and the state cannot afford to pay for a $20 revote and the Repubs also say no.

However, make no mistake, someothing will be worked out.

If Hil can win PA, FL and MI, she’s on her way. She also has the geography working for her when she gets to PA. Quite a few of the remaining states surround OH and PA i.e Indiana, Ky.

She has a fair shot of winning those states and they are similar to PA and Oh- working, blue collar folks.
