Obama finds criticism of his wife "infuriating" and doesn't want either of them to be the target of satire. Tell that to the Carters, the Reagans, the Clintons, and the Bushes, father and son.

There's no such thing as a humble politician. But when Obama looks into the mirror, he doesn't just see a president; he sees JFK.

In 1960, John F. Kennedy accepted his party's nomination with an outdoor speech at the Los Angeles Coliseum. But he waited until he was elected before going to Germany to declare "Ich bin ein Berliner."

NOW members weigh in--if Michelle dishes it out, she should take it. Despite her pushing her campaign role beyond even what Hillary attempted as Bill's spouse when he ran, since Michelle is attempting to channel Jackie (again) we're supposed to treat her with kid gloves. Over and over again, the MSM courtiers join the pity me Michelle chorus. Self-pity is much less attractive than self-deprecation. And how about just being gracious?

P.S. AWK. The self-appointed guardians of Michelle at Michelle Obama Watch raise the question of whether or not this is an appropriate photo of Michelle. This comment was a real jaw-dropper:

I was waiting for someone to respond to what the photographer was trying to show us as well as tell us , michelle obama is under a microscope, and what she wear’s and say’s will be analyzed to the utmost, why do you think the picture is on the website, first of michelle say’s prefer’s not to wear panty hose, well quess what people let me just remind you that her husband is running for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE’S OF AMERICA and he is trying to get the evangelical vote, and michelle has to make sure that she is alway’s in a favorable light , and in my opinion if barack can wear a suit seven day’s a week then it will not hurt michelle to cover up her arm’s and leg’s when she has to speak at public gathering , it’s called give and take, she has to understand that it’s no longer business as usual, i myself as a african american woman have spoke at church’s, conference’s, and i know for a fact that their is no way i can get on a pulpit with my arm’s out or with no panty hose on, this is not acceptable for a woman of God, so michelle has to learn that in order to become the first african american first lady she will be judged in so many different area’s in her life , and trust me people this is just the beginning , so let’s see above and beyond what we see with our natural eye’s, let’s see with our second sight and that mean’s seeing the whole picture, the republican’s are going to do every evil trick in the book to bring barack and michelle down , they are known for that , and they will not have any mercy in the mist of it, they are corrupt, vicious, evil, demonic, destructive , and above all they would rather to let this country go under rather than to accept change, i support barack and michelle obama, and i want them to be victorious in the battle , but also want them to see the full picture. > PROPHETESS <

The comments were stopped in their tracks after that.
