The Center Of The Universe
Barry and Michelle have monstrous egos.
Skilled at constantly self-aggrandizing themselves individually, their collective mutual appreciation society is just as vile.
How can those two egomaniacs coexist? Does one ever let the other speak, or do they both talk over each other all the time in order to hear their own dulcet tones? Are their iPods filled with content about themselves, as their pathetic gift to Queen Elizabeth II was?
And they don’t just feed off each other’s sense of self-worth. As is turns out, you and I are good for something (other than paying taxes), after all – we’re good at making the Obamas appreciate their own awesomeness. Michelle goes to great lengths to inform us little people that everything she does is a sacrifice on her behalf.
Why, without the hindrance of being First Lady, Michelle would have even more time to disgrace the memory of fallen heroes, fall asleep at funerals and get paid six-figures to do nothing of any worth.
Her latest sacrifice was to go to Copenhagen with a pal, the hardships of which led Michelle to moan to the media that,
As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days, so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.
Projection, much? Is anyone, aside from Michelle herself, calling this a sacrifice?
Because having a custom-made designer outfit tailored, flying to Denmark on Air Force One, staying in luxury at a top hotel and schmoozing with the IOC must be dangerously strenuous. Although, to be fair, putting up with Oprah Winfrey for that entire time would try the patience of a saint.
The sacrifice here, as Michelle sees it, is that she’s going to be rewarding all of her and Barry’s criminal friends in Chicago instead of hubby and herself.
Selfless, indeed.

I swear I’d love to sacrifice a little too – if its like this. Imagine, flying all around, not really working, just kinda showing up and having people pay attention to you, changing history, eating great, sleeping better. It must be hell.

Track,
As much of a sacrifice as you might think it is for me to come here and comment on your piece of writing, I want you to know that I am doing it for the children.
Good God, man… it really never ends with these people! You (literally) just can’t make this stuff up!

when you are as important as they are it is a sacrifice. all the photo shoots and tv shows one has to prepare for leaves very little time for flying to old european cities and schmoozing.

Where is the sacrifice? What did she give up to go to Copenhagen? What hardship is created by flying on Air Force One?
It may be a sacrifice for the people of Denmark to have to endure their physical presence. Gives us a break.

I suppose they don’t have knuckle-dragging neanderthals in Copenhagen. All of those White people…must make Michelle uncomfortable considering her overt racism and black-self-pity statements of the past.

Candle – exactly, this is the type of sacrifice that I wish would come my way more often.
Soloman – made me laugh. “For the children!” never gets old, does it?
j summ – yep, just like when Barry complained that he doesn’t have much time now to read novels. How awful for him.
Kris – now we’re getting somewhere! That’s where the sacrifice comes in, on the behalf of others.
Sandy – I’m just waiting for Michelle to have a very public meltdown. You know it’s coming…

Yeah, you know it’s coming because they’ve kept her under heavy guard ever since the snarling rat-face pic of her next to the beautiful French FL. I gotta go buy more popcorn….

Ignorance only exceeded by their arrogance. Very dangerous.
