First Lady, Michelle Obama by Daniel Edwards
The work, by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards, is clearly a nod to both Mrs Obama’s ethnic roots and her position at the heart of American culture and politics.

The Left’s Hipster Arrogance (As Simple as Ms. O’s Clutch)
Ah, the Liberal Hipster. Well educated, traveled, fed and spoiled. Able to mount a guilt offensive from a position of upper middle class. Preach about the wealthy, yet on the doorstep of such wealth. And, nonchalantly styled and equipped. A notch above are the great pontificators, the Obama’s. So hip. So styled. So disgustingly two faced.
“A VBH spokesperson was forced to declare a case of “mistaken identity” and retract her earlier announcement that Michelle Obama carried the company’s $6,000 alligator clutch on her stroll in Russia because the White House insisted that Michelle’s clutch was the lower-end VBH $900 patent leather model.
You don’t say?” TD nails the precise arrogance of the O’ and their self indulgent followers…replete with high end, knock off binky’s.

Is API~Michelle Obama story a scam????? Is Iman~Kenya O Birth a hoax???
Is this a scam of the sophisticated variety? If so, as HardNewsInc states it is a good one. It has dragged on and the few supsicious hints (FoxNews was supposedly negotiating w/ API but nothing came of it; the Iman rep. headed to London with docs and wanting safe passage etc.) Didn’t quite ring true and no wire services picking up on it??? Don’t know, but this suspicious and I may have bit on it too. Inner voice was a bit hesitant, but proceeded anyway. Hard News suggests Leftist instigation but not sure the motive (wouldn’t seem to be a Hillary/PUMA endeavor?). This whole birth certificate, birth place, API deal seems outside the norm). Any suggestions re this????

Michelle Obama Tape & African Press Int’l (The Story Continues…Does It Matter Now?)
API
Four things had to be done in order to be sure the Michelle Obama tape is aired and the Imam’s document on Mr Obama is delivered to genuine officials without API experiencing the same problems that has obstructed us every time we have chosen the airing date.:
1. To get reliable MBOs who would not give in to demands from those against the release of the tape.
2. The cleaning of this WordPress site so that our enemies do not use the information on the site to attack API in their efforts to discredit the tape.
3. To get a new website that the enemies will not influence. One website owned and paid for by API.
4. Organize to create a reliable link in a new web site to enable trusted readers to link in and listen to the tape because of their unwavering support the gave to API when the enemies were busy scaling API down to the ground.
Those readers who have followed what we have been doing in the past 4 days do know that we are almost ready to ring the celebration bell.
The Michelle Obama tape seems to have given hope to many Americans who disagree with Mr Obama. This only makes us in API to be even more determined to release it now that we seem to be overcoming the obstacles that were put before us by our enemies who made sure we were shut down three times., leaving us with no Internet site to release information in connection with the tape
Those who were against the release went a long way to block US, but now it is our turn to be the masters. We are finalising our release plan of the tape and the delivering of Imam’s document to the authorities. API has worked hard for a number of days now in closing all the loopholes so that the tape may come out before or by thanksgiving day if nothing dramatic takes place.

Michelle Obama Tape & African Press Internat’l (Is This Real? If So, Fox News..Why Wait til the 4th?)
Oops!
“Michelle Obama tape: The negotiations that led to API/Fox news Network agreemetn started in London, UK Fox NN Offices on orders from New York Office”
“Therefore, the tape will be aired by the Sean Hannity Show and Greta Van Susteren Show as stipulated in the agreement. The agreement states clearly that the tape will be aired before the elections that takes place on November the 4th.”

Michelle Obama & API (What a wicked web we weave, when at first you practice to deceive)
Bomb-chelle
This story was posted awhile back at Texas Darlin blog and then td said there needed to be confirmation of the alleged conversations between API and Michelle Obama…namely coughing up the corroborative tapes allegedly in API’s possession. So, is this about to happen? API to Fox News? Hmmm?
Bomb-chelle
“API has an ongoing discussion with FOX NEWS on the best way forward in the process of releasing Michelle Obama tapes to the American people.
API hopes the negotiation will be completed as soon as possible so that the tapes can be made available to FOX NEWS in the next few days and specifically before the voting day – the 4th of November.” http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/michelle-obama-tapes-imminent-release-approaching-api-in-a-serious-negotiation-with-fox-news-on-the-best-way-forward/

Thank goodness, Michelle Obama got to be a proud of being an American at least once. Wonder how Axelrod and his talking jackass, Bill Burton will spin this…pretty easy to spin to the victim class mentality. Poor, frustrated Leftist.
Texas Darlin blog said some time ago she was not going to buy into this as credible story…Mountain Sage seems to think hoax…seems to have no legs or validity…..site seems pretty real? but all things possible in the race for our minds!

Michelle Obama and Racism (It is ALL about race with her)
Be honest, does it bother you that a black is running for President? Would it be so bad if a black became the President? Hmm? This the deal with me…standing alone, I could care less if a Black, Woman, White, Latino or Asian became President. How about Thomas Sowell for President. What I resent the hell out of is the wagon, and its’ cargo, Obama is pulling toward the White House; all the community organizing mechanisms that center upon race…the black race. It smacks of favoritism and Obama is not hiding his redistributionist favoritism. That is what I resent. Let’s be honest here, the mindset of the Left is on the verge of reparations and I will have none of it.
The Michelle Obama rant is what it is all about..all about race. Bullshit to her and her ilk. We think equality, we think equal opportunity….they think advantage beyond equality of opportunity. So, do we have the will to withstand the racist allegations and to stand up to this? You better be able to recount upon what principles you are pushing back against this power grab and push to redistribute your earnings. They, the Left, have co-opted the meaning of language and use the language of CHANGE, Revolution, etc to pass change under your nose. This Trojan Horse of feel good politics.
“Accusing API of colluding with American internet bloggers in an effort to bring down her husband, Mrs Obama said she decided to call API because of what she termed, API’s help to spread rumours created by American bloggers and other racist media outlets in their efforts to damage a black man’s name, saying she hopes African Media was mature enough to be in the front to give unwavering support to her husband, a man Africans should identify themselves with.
When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: “African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband.”
“…she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.
When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.”
“Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the innoguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year.” http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/shocking-development-mrs-obama-decides-enough-is-enough-my-husband-was-born-in-hawaii-and-adopted-by-his-step-father-does-that-make-him-unpatriotic-she-asks-on-a-direct-telephone-to-api/

Michelle Obama From Poverty to Affluence
- Michelle Obama
“She came from a regular family. They had a nice home. It wasn’t a mansion, but it was just fine. It was a decent neighbourhood.”
The Robinsons grew up on the upper floor of a house built in the Twenties. Number 7436 South Euclid Avenue – a classical reference to the Greek mathematician which found an appropriate echo in Michelle’s subsequent respect for traditional learning – even has a small garden, shaded by a large elm tree, and an ornate stone bench.
No one could pretend they were rich and it is true that her father, Frasier Robinson, spent some time as a maintenance worker for Chicago’s Department of Water Management.
However, he was a good deal more than the labourer that many seem to imagine.
Indeed, according to family friends, Michelle’s father was a volunteer organiser for the city’s Democratic Party, a by-word for machine politics in America, and his loyalty was rewarded with a well-paid engineering job at Chicago’s water plant. Even before overtime, he earned $42,686 – 25 per cent more than High School teachers at the time.
It was little surprise to those who knew her at the time that it was commerce not campaigning that claimed her when she graduated with a law degree from Harvard, taking a post with Sidley Austin, an eminent Chicago law firm. Her specialist area was not human rights or family law, but the lucrative detail of copyright and trademark cases.
First lady style: Michelle Obama’s red-carpet lifestyle has been likened to that enjoyed by Cherie Blair and Jackie Kennedy
The rewards have been significant. Despite the image she projects on the Newsweek cover, Michelle owns an impressive collection of diamond jewellery, designer outfits and £400-a-pair Jimmy Choo shoes.
“When I’m off the road, I’m going to Target [a U.S. chain store] to get the toilet paper.”
She did not bother to mention, however, that the paper, like the rest of the family shopping, is taken to an £825,000 three-storey red-brick Georgian revival mansion, set amid beautifully manicured lawns in one of Chicago’s most affluent districts.
Even the house became a source of controversy when it emerged that the wife of a Chicago slum landlord, Tony Rezko, helped them buy land to enlarge its grounds.
Renowned for leaving tenants of one of his squalid buildings without heat in the city’s brutal winter, Rezko now is facing federal corruption charges.
More contentious still was Michelle’s appointment as the £150,000-a-year vice-president of external affairs at the University of Chicago hospital in 2005.
It came only two months after Barack was sworn in as a U.S. senator, and was attacked by critics as a blatant attempt, critics claim, by the hospital’s hierarchy to curry favour with her husband, in an era when some politicians want to rein in the vast profits of America’s medical system.
They questioned why the wife of a committed Democrat would work for a hospital that has been accused of ruthless greed.
Michelle’s image was further tarnished in May 2006, when it was revealed that the centre – despite earning some £50million a year – had refused to treat a man who could not afford to pay his bill. He died.
All of which has led some political veterans to accuse Michelle of the very lack of compassion and moral scruples that her husband has lambasted in his Republican rivals for the White House.
Michelle also is under attack for joining the board of a food company where she allegedly took part in a 2005 decision to close a pickle and relish plant in La Junta, Colorado, putting 150 mostly Hispanic labourers out of work.
The small town was devastated.
“It totally amazed me when they closed it,” said La Junta Mayor
Don Rizzuto, who had believed that Michelle and her husband were “the champions of the little guy”.
