Michelle Obama thinks men are selfish. Most influential man in her life?
Posted by: Neocon in 2008 Race, Democrats, Obama, tags: barack obama, dr helen, michelle obama, nro, Obama, tnr(via Dr. Helen) NRO links to TNR, shedding some light on what Michelle Obama thinks about men.
In a 2004 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Michelle observed: “What I notice about men, all men, is that their order is me, my family, God is in there somewhere, but me is first. … And, for women, me is fourth, and that’s not healthy.” This is not a radical observation: Get a half-dozen gals together with a few bottles of Beaujolais, and a similar theme will eventually emerge. (Trust me on this.)…..
But, when she talks smack about her husband’s hygiene, she sounds like any old housewife gabbing to her girlfriends about what a hopeless mess her man is. It’s a clever approach, winning Michelle props for being outspoken and un-Stepford, even as she avoids alienating more traditional voters by keeping her focus on the family.
My question: who is she basing this characterization of men on? Wouldn’t it be safe to assume that the largest contributor to her perception of men is the one that she has spent the most time with… namely her husband?
So is Barack Obama really just Mr. ‘Me First’? What does that betray about what lurks below the surface of the Messiah’s Hope and Change Dreamathon? What will he be like in office? Who will he be looking out for first?
Just asking…
