Michelle Obama has managed to lie low since the times I described her as “Militant Mama Obama” (February 22, 2008). In that column, I ventured that, “If anything, her charmed life has made Michelle Obama more racially militant.” As the woman complained in a blatantly banal university thesis, “My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before.”

But she’s back!

The Washington Times has details of the strategy undergirding M’s latest moaning:

… She will go to the opulent homes of rich people across the country to tell them how rich people are to blame for America’s woes and guilt them into giving millions for her husband’s campaign. … [How] rich people (white, of course) certainly don’t want black people to succeed. They want to squelch success based on what people look like, how much money they have. … And the Princeton graduate will tell supporters they simply can’t comprehend the significance of what’s occurring today in America. ‘It can be hard to see clearly what’s at stake – because these issues are so complicated …’

MORE.

Michelle Obama’s sentiments seep out from that festering reservoir of racial animosity—the same cesspool wherefrom the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson launch their perennial strikes.

UPDATE (Oct. 1): WINNIE MANDELA/MADAM OBAMA. Robert, there is a similarity in anger levels between the two women, although Winnie Madikizela-Mandela had considerable cause for anger. The woman had it tough. I mention Winnie in the book you just reviewed on Amazon. Winnie, moreover, was a looker, unlike MO. I saw Winnie in person when I attended Tutu’s inaugural with my dad. She was then drop-dead (if deadly) gorgeous. But I mean Beyonce beautiful.

    American history has shown that as bad as Presidential “first terms” are, their “second terms” are generally far worse. One can only imagine Obama II (with no re-election worries) ….

    One often expects some partisan campaign follower to get into the “us versus them” mode but usually not the candidate’s wife in public. It is rather unbecoming…. but such is our social discourse.

    Maybe they can send out some drones to drop some bombs on those rich white racists who don’t fork up protection money to the Re-elect Obama campaign.

    One can only hope that the guilty white weenie vote will be diluted after the disastrous ascendency of Obama. The race mongering left finally got their wish in a big way with Obama and his minions being vaulted into nearly complete power with the inevitable results. The very rich are not normally known for their intestinal fortitude as they want to rock no boats and just keep their cushy lifestyles. But maybe, just maybe, ruling by intimidation is starting to get old enough that Michelle’s high society strong arm efforts will come to naught. But I doubt it.
