He may be a crotchety old man, but Cafferty knows style when he sees it: Crush on Michelle Obama

NEW YORK (CNN) -- I think I am developing a crush on America's first lady. Michelle Obama is more compelling than her husband. He's good, but she's utterly fascinating.

Mrs. Obama has blown away the stale air in a White House musty from eight years of the Bushes. It's like the sun came out and a fresh spring breeze began wafting through the open windows.

It's the people's house, and Michelle Obama totally gets it. So much so that she has taken to inviting people in from the streets to see her home. Nice touch -- one completely lacking in her recent predecessors.

Watch her when she visits a local school and you see the warmth and affection she instantly triggers in people. Kids are pretty much totally honest with very good BS-detectors. If they sense you're a phony, forget it. But around the first lady, they want to hug her and laugh with her and tell her stories.

Her arms are becoming the stuff of legend. Who appears sleeveless on the cover of Vogue, let alone in front of a joint session of Congress while her husband delivers one of the most important speeches of his life? And the reviews were rave.

to go together on this board with such ease.

but like the man said, "by my age you've learned to never trust a fart."

you old geezer! :evilgrin: Personally I prefer "old broad" when referring myself. But neither "fart" nor "broad" does a "crotchety" make. In fact, the older I get the mouthier I get. (And they said I was going to mellow with age. Ha!)

for a fight. If it needs said it gets said by me. I've been elbowed in the ribs by my wife so many times that I'm probably one of the only people in the world with callouses on their ribcage.

and the biggest cheerleader for Bush and his war of lies??????

hello..leopards don't change their spots..their agenda may change..but not their spots!

That asshole was one of the biggest supporters of this war of lies in Iraq..and he was one of bush's greatest supporters..boy some people have short memories!..it allows all the assholes to re-invent themselves.

up to about 20 months ago when I turned them off. I wasn't watching cnn at the start of the war and I don't remember jack cafferty carrying water for them. leslie blitzer yes but not jack.

I like Jack, but I can't stand to watch Blitzer long enough to catch Jack.

He has come close to being censored when speaking about Bush and Cheney. I admire him for that.

We have to remember too that he just lost his wife a few months back. He has the right to be grouchy from time to time.

Sweet article.

"love hearts".. daily.

Oh and when many of us sent him emails showing this war was all about lies..he would send back emails saying simply.."YAWN"..yes that is the Cafferty you now want to love and find endearing.

Thats what we're all about, changing as we learn new things. The ones who stay the same even when they know better is the ones who worry me.

nefarious reasons..

This guy gave bush daily blow jobs leading up to the war..its a bit late for him to shine light on what he shoved down people's throats on a daily basis with the liberties given him by using our airways..too many people are dead because of his lies and his love hearts for Bush's war of lies!

You don't come back from dead..

That sob Cafferty has now "re-invented" himself with the help of people who never paid attention..and only fools believe that lying sack of crap bastard!

you can have your opinion but be careful what you call people cause I don't take too kindly to being called names. K

I can see him doing that, though.

but I remember him, (with fondness) from when he was in New York with Sue Simmons. I haven't watched CNN in a long, long time, so I can't comment on what his shtick has been lately. I am pleased when I see anything positive coming out of any of the mouths of the cable talk shows.

If I never hear wolf say NOooooooooW ever again I'll be happy.

the more I like "old farts". One of my coolest buddies is a 62 year old professor. He's a rad, aging "hippie" as he terms himself, with great stories, sage advice and he looks out for me like a daughter.

"Cafferty's tough-talking cynicism...cuts through...a media climate thick with rigid ideology and tabloid excess."
--Publishers Weekly

In Now or Never, bestselling author Jack Cafferty catalogs the fallout of eight years of Bush lunacy and a dismal legacy that runs the gamut from Fallujah and foreclosure to Katrina, Gitmo, and pain at the gas pump. What happens next?

The curmudgeonly Cafferty applies his heat-seeking scrutiny to the hot-button issues that will top the 2009 agenda, including the economy, China, Iraq, the war on terror, and our broken immigration, education, and healthcare systems. Will our new president turn things around or will it be business as usual?

Powerful, provocative, and drawing on the latest news from America and around the world, Now or Never makes lively reading for Cafferty fans and everyone who cares about America today.
