That kind of condescending put down of idealists is so easy and so cheap and says so much about the person uttering it. (Not that I think Obama's idealism ran very deep but that's another topic that's neither here nor there right now.)

"Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he'd bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002." - Hillary Clinton

now that he's under "the bright lights" of NY scrutiny. Can you imagine the outrage if Bernie said anything like that about her? He can't even state the truth about her without being called sexist.

"Awful Legacy"

And she's still doing it. She'll never change, and she'll never be president.

swear...."

HRC being frog marched into court is long overdue.

going to fight snipers in Bosnia?

Hey, at least she didn't lie and say the POPE was shooting at her....

I always liked Michelle Obama.

I used to like Hillary - until she became a Senator and kept voting against every food stamp bill that came along.

But then, there have been so many.

I can see where that mocking tone, along with the racist attacks would ruffle Michelle's feathers.

Hillary doesn't have a lot of friends -- just a gaggle of opportunists pretending to be friends.

Obama waited eight years to use that line.

That just isn't Michelle.

especially, if she is wearing heels.

However, Mrs Obama - who earned $275,000 a year as vice-president of external affairs at Chicago University’s medical centre before her husband's election - hopes to emulate Mrs Clinton in one respect, by writing her owns books after leaving the White House.

Her aides say she looks forward to the day when she leaves “a really nice prison” to earn money through book deals and public speaking fees, Andersen Brower writes. Mrs Clinton received a reported $8 million advance from Simon and Schuster in the final months of her husband’s administration to write about her years as first lady.

As they should for anyone who has taken that sort of money from politically influential groups.

Not selling our country to the highest bidder and collecting massive speaking fees from Wall Street.

I'm sure Michelle Obama is a lot smarter than Hillary. She won't taint her record with bribes.

And would pay to see her speak.

sure people are dumb enough to old grudges over stupid things said in a campaign.

drivel.

despite the spin and hearsay presented by some.

Making her SOS may have been part of the deal to get her to finally surrender her losing effort in 2008.

She waited like 4 or 5 days to concede after she lost the primary. She was twisting arms stomping her feet to get the most out of it she could.

Her name and husband, and it was probably a pay off to make her quit the 08 campaign. If being First Lady and a Senator from NY for 4 years is qualified, then Obama should have picked someone with "real" experience. Which he did with Kerry.

And I don't think she is someone who looks down on others.

I just don't understand how posting this helps either of our Democratic candidates get elected.

Unrec.

But once you dig down and see that this shit flinging is coming straight outta FOX NEWS, you start to sense another agenda at work.

but other than that, I think the article is full of it.

and the email bullshit. It's all phony. It's too bad there are democrats naïve enough (or desperate enough) to believe them.

and how offensive many of us found her and her campaign smears against Obama. Having to hear that same kind of baloney and negativity all over again just reminds some of us how glad we were when he won.

Why is this RW talking point nonsense being brought here?

I love this site. It kept me sane during the Bush years. I don't recognize it now.

The Free Republic sock-it-to-me types will fade away, the angry BS fans will be forced to modulate their tone or take their leave, the trolls will stow their accounts until 2017 when they come back to fuck with us during the mid-terms, and the world will keep on turning.

I'm actually thinking that her substance is the one to model for anyone who's had to live in Washington. I really think a lot of her.

Actually, The Telegraph... Really? Come on, guys...

laundry.

I think the actual number is classified. Bernie Sanders also seems to hover from 5'8" to 6'.

Where's Tiger Beat when you need them?

I was actually surprised how short she was.

But, after this election cycle, I will forevermore have a changed opinion of him. I had previously thought of him as a bit more moral and honest than the average politician, and maybe he was at one time. Now I can see that he is just another 'all talk, no substance' guy...and that annoying loud monotone will remain on my nerves for quite a while.

Point is, when you have an adversary in any type of serious conflict, it is likely that the two sides will come out with long term dislike towards each other. The real news would have been if Michelle had no hard feelings for Hillary...then she would truly be a saint!

Another "Bernie BUT" post. Bwahahahaha!

Look, the Clintons and Obamas ain't pals. They were political rivals, and they put aside the rivalry for 8 years because they had to. Now that Obama is leaving the White House, they aren't gonna be teaming up and becoming buddies. The nasty crap that got flung back and forth in 2008 stung everybody, and that's not at all uncommon in politics.

All that being said, this book is supposed to put both Michelle and Hillary in an unflattering light because that's what the GOP wants to do.
