Obnoxious and Presumptuous: Michelle O. and Baba W.

Presumptuous and Obnoxious: Michelle O. and Baba W.

Being obnoxious and being presumptuous often go hand in hand and both are annoying. Michelle Obama and Barbara Walters are notorious for having melded the two annoying qualities.

The ungainly “Lady O,” best known for lacking pride in her country for most of her adult life. in her current role as First Lady or FLOTUS has been trashing about for something else to make her proud and finally hit on it this year. In her unpaid but perk-stuffed role as presidential wife, she must have felt she had to do something.

Former FLOTUSES have dedicated themselves to pretending to be president, (Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton)), to keeping their hats on straight, (Bess Truman and Mamie Eisenhower), to White House beautification, (Jackie Kennedy), to environmental enhancement, (Lady Bird Johnson), and to literacy, (Laura Bush).

Michelle Obama’s new found niche is fat kids.

Now, it may be true that childhood obesity is a serious problem in America but hardly the national security, indeed, national survival illusion, issue that Mrs. Obama seems to want it to be. Still, it’s a worthy project for a first lady–until she veered into the obnoxious-presumptuous sphere by believing in her self-importance and brilliance.

She veered into that sphere when, typically dropping her “g’s” in such words as “tryna” and “doin,” she lectured America on nutrition. While acknowledging it was “ultimately the responsibility of parents,” she ripped a page from Hillary’s “Village” by saying, “We can’t just leave it up to the parents:” http://tiny.cc/wz7cv . . .

Michelle, in Hell

Michelle, in Hell

Michelle, in Hell.
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
tres bien ensemble.

Those are words that go together well because Michelle Obama uttered them.

According to Carla Bruni Sarkozy, last March on a state visit to the White House, the French First Lady said that when she asked the American First Lady what Michelle thought of that position Michelle responded, “Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”

Carla, a former actress and model who is still foxy, yet ladylike, also said she liked her American counterpart in her new, collaborative book, Carla and the Ambitious, although that sentiment might not now be reciprocated since the White House, as expected, denies Mrs. Obama ever said such a thing.

Why she would say such a thing considering her perks as the president’s consort would be bewildering. After all, she’s given a comfortable, free pad in D.C., free use of Air Force Two, a paid entourage of some 24 people to tend to her needs, free or highly-subsidized vacations to Spain’s Costa del Sol and feted by King Carlos, and lord knows what other bennies.

That’s not too shabby for the daughter of a civil servant and a secretary!

The not-quite-tell-all Carla and the Ambitious also reveals that “On the advice of the Obamas, [Carla and hubby Nic] don’t read the papers in the morning any more:” http://tiny.cc/vwhvm

Those tidbits of information aside, it’s also disconcerting that America’s First Lady who, apparently, was discontented with being an American when she said during the presidential campaign that she was never proud of her nationality, is discontented with her “job” now. . .
