Bitter half alert: Michelle Obama’s boss says she was “perenially dissatisfied”
Once a whiner, always a whiner.
Grievance-mongering: It’s in Michelle Obama’s DNA.
From one who knew her best:
“But Michelle could also frustrate her supervisors. Quincy White, the partner who helped recruit Michelle and who headed the marketing group, remembers finding her a challenge to manage. White, who is now retired from the firm, says he gave her the most interesting work he could find, in part because he wanted to see her advance, but also because she seemed perennially dissatisfied.
She was, White recalls, “quite possibly the most ambitious associate that I’ve ever seen.” She wanted significant responsibility right away and was not afraid to object if she wasn’t getting what she felt she deserved, he says.
Waiting for the Associated Press analysis that will find a way to accuse anyone who calls attention to this anecdote a RAAAAAAACIST!

Oh, but you see, you have implied that I am stupid by saying I didn’t have the grades (in your earlier post) or I wasn’t good enough to “cut it”.
You’re really good at ASSuming things, aren’t you?
Okay. I see your point.
Conversely, I have zero interest in seeing Sarah Palin’s college grades. I think I can guess about those.
Um…No, I out-and-out stated that perhaps you didn’t fare well enough in high school to get into an ivy. You’re the one who got defensive — but I certainly never called or implied that you were stupid.
I’m sure we can get Lin Biden to vouch for them!
amazing how she could outwit that great intellect biden so easily isn’t it?
It would have been amazing if she had. But the limits of reality being what they are, she didn’t.
Yeah, OK. Sure.
A 44-year old woman who gets to be governor by that age is sure stupid!
/sarcasm
I’m sure we can get Lin Biden to vouch for them!
you libs really are on a different planet…so explain to me when and how, in great detail, we removed Hizbullah from lebanon…I’d must have missed it…
Yeah you did. You ASSumed I couldn’t cut it for Ivy League. Did you ever think I couldn’t afford it? No, because you didn’t even go there.
Being successful in politics doesn’t make you a genius in my eyes. Neither does being unable to answer simple questions. So you can see why I’m dubious in Palin’s case.
oh and don’t forget, please tell me what is ridiculous about ayers, wright, and obama??
Oh, yes. Mr. “I have three degrees, and I’m smarter than you” Biden.
Until he had to come clean about that lie too.
No one has claimed she’s a genius. Reagan wasn’t a genius either. But he did know how to manage a country. Just as Palin knows how to manage a state. Something Obama has never done — managed anything in his life.
See there’s a difference in street smarts vs. book smarts.
Students, as a general rule, only write one note. I can’t think of any of my friends, editors included, that wrote more than that.
Ivies that want a student who has done really well in secondary school offer scholarships — some of the largest, actually, because those schools have the largest endowments. Guessing that you weren’t at the top of your class, or they would’ve offered you money (and a tremendous number of students at those schools receive some form of financial aid).
Not getting into an ivy doesn’t make you stupid. This clearly hit a nerve with you. Insecure much?
Why didn’t Palin call him on it during the debate, if she so thoroughly destroyed him?
Was it because the answer wasn’t on her cue cards?
so many lies, so little time. I find it interesting that no one outside of conservative circles, is interested in that.
I’ll say!
I guess I prefer my candidates have a modicum of the former in addition to the latter.
She had plenty of time for irrelevant personal stories and “shout outs” though.
but she’s just a dumb girl…whereas biden is the GURU on foreign policy…but a huge gaffe like that is unremarkedd and unnoticed…
interesting, don’t you think?
So there your answer is BlameAmericaLast…You couldn’t cut the mustard like Michelle or Barak the Rock. They both must have finished first in there class or they wouldn’t have gotton the money to go to these schools.
And incessant winking.
that shows how ignorant and uniformed you are. I remember reagan on firing line debates with Buckley, where he opposed buckley on the panama canal, for example, he more than held his own.
I can explain how people get addicted to painkillers in one word:
PAIN
When your body is screaming in pain, you reach for the bottle as much as it takes to kill the pain. Unless you know what it’s like to be in excruciating pain over a long period of time, you can’t possibly understand what it does to you. It saps you of your energy, your sleep and your very life. Drugs that are strong enough to cut through that kind of pain become NECESSARY. And then when, IF, the time comes that you are healed of what was causing the pain, your body remains addicted to the painkillers.
Comparing someone who was battling extreme pain to some elite hippie in college trying drugs just for the fun of it, is STUPID.
or a liberal democrat…oops, same thing…sorry…
Hey, nyk, right and Chap–you sound like my kids. Right and Chap, I’ve told you before not to make fun of nyk, he can’t help it. Liberalism is a disease and you must not make fun of the inflicted. Nyk, don’t go looking for a fight on a conservative blog site. Daily kos would love to have you back, so go home.
Now behave.
What is wrong with that?? Seems to be exactly what any company would want. A real go-getter. Sheeesh, McCain should have choose her for VP, not the mentally challenged Palin!
Chap IS a liberal, moron. Your “joke” fell flat.
There isn’t. They’re desperate.
No, just confirmed you’re a complete ass. You have no idea what you’re talking about. I went to a top 20 business school (at the time) for my MBA.
Yea, I think chaps a liberal moron to,
No, it’s a genetic disorder.
Good for you!
And yes, it clearly did hit a nerve. Sorry about your getting rejected from an ivy or whatever kept you from going.
Good luck in your other endeavors!
Maybe someone there thought she wasn’t ready or qualified for more responsibility?
She probably had an ego the size of the moon and thought she was better than everyone else. Too bad they didn’t read her thesis paper — you know, the one that’s about 6th grade level grammar?
My point must have fallen short because Michelle didn’t finish first in her class or have the grades to get in an Ivy league school herself (on her own merits).
What do they call the disease that makes you unable to tell liberals and hard right conservatives apart?
Sheesh.
still no answer about why ayers, wright, obama, et al, are ’silly’….
Uh, nothing kept me from going. You see, I’m a firm believer in zero debt. Never do or buy anything you can’t afford.
I have no credit card debts (paid off in full each month), no loans, nothing, except for 4 years left on a fixed rate mortgage.
Hmmm…maybe that’s something the rest of the population should think about. Managing their money.
At least we totally agree here.
Didn’t fall short. We all know the real reason she got into Princeton. And we all know why she got that monstrous raise after her husband became a senator.
Obama is going to manage our money for us!
I am sorry, but where is your proof. I see it thrown out here a lot that Barack and Michelle benefited from affirmative action. But the only proof I have seen basically consists of:
1) they are black
2) they are liberal and I disagree with them.
3) ergo, they MUST not have succeeded on their own.
Do you have any unique evidence to offer?
Download and read her thesis paper and then get back to us and let us know if you think that’s Princeton level material.
If I had written something like that I probably wouldn’t have gotten into community college.
Hmmm, then maybe the Caymans are looking pretty good after all.
Oops..my copy paste skills while trying to eat lunch at the same time weren’t quite up to par….
What I meant to quote was…
Newsweek: “At Harvard, she felt the same racial divide [she felt at Princeton]. Verna Williams and Michelle became friends in their first year of law school. She remembers many of their fellow black students worrying that white classmates viewed them as charity cases. But she suggests Michelle was not among them. ‘She recognized that she had been privileged by affirmative action and she was very comfortable with that,’ Williams recalls.”
Michelle seems to be into revisionist history.
Newsweek: “Michelle recalls things differently. A campaign spokeswoman says she had an edge getting into Princeton not because of affirmative action, but because her older brother was there as a scholar athlete. She was a ‘legacy,’ just like any other applicant with family ties to Princeton.”
Newsweek on young Michelle: “She did well in school (she skipped second grade), but she was not at the top of her class. She didn’t get the attention of the school’s college counselors, who helped the brightest students find spots at prestigious universities…. Some of her teachers told her she didn’t have the grades or test scores to make it to the Ivies. But she applied to Princeton and was accepted.”
Write letters to your local rags and do the job that the media won’t.
This is what I wrote, in 200 words, and I give anyone here permission to use it as their own to their local paper:
OK. How about these:
- Most liberal voting record in Congress, ever!
- 2nd highest monetary donations from Fannie and Freddie, in 1/5 the time of all the others on the list
- Plans on invading an ally with nukes (Pakistan) which will destabilize a region, while sitting down to talk with two sworn enemies (North Korea and Iran) who are working on nukes (that will eventually destabilize those regions)
- Will remove the rights of individuals to freely associate (1st Amendment) when on jobs in union shops or areas where the unions are lobbying
- Will raise more than $1.4 Trillion in taxes over 5 years, when it is estimated that his proposed tax on those making more than $250,000 annually will only raise $225 Billion in that same time
- Will negotiate with (get this) insurance companies, whose specific role in health care is to pay less and keep costs low (to keep members in), to lower costs of health care while, as we speak, doctors and nurses are facing the largest shortage of labor ever due to the decreasing salaries and increasing liability of health care
- Is a vehement advocate for total gun control, which has worked so well in his hometown of Chicago that you are now more likely to die from gun-related violence there than in Iraq
- Has legislative accomplishments that include: displaying Federal spending on an internet site (which he co-authored with McCain!!!), give 0.7% of our GDP to help fight global poverty, and a bill that expanded discrimination compensation for (quote from his website) “thousands of black farmers under the Pigford settlement”.
Are those points a little better for you?
Uh…no. Half of what you wrote is (erroneous) conjecture (“Plans on invading an ally with nukes”) and the other half is just plain wrong (“Is a vehement advocate for total gun control”; “Most liberal voting record in Congress, ever!”).
Anyway, I’m out. Enjoy your evenings.
nyk, you sound as mad as MO. Calm down.
Like choosing painkillers for pain?
Anyway the topic is Whiney MichelleO.
I’m not angry. I feel sad for you over your inabilty to tell apart POLAR OPPOSITE political philosophies is all.
Again, doctors are hypersensitive to addiction issues and prescribe accordingly. The problems come when the patient overuses and abuses. Generally.
And to answer the question of another, Rush was
accusedcharged with criminal offenses. He accepted a pre-trial intervention program here in Florida, rather than go to trial. I know neither Rush or Cindy McCain are running for president, but they both became degenerate, law breaking drug addicts, before being rehabilitated.Oh, that only goes for Republicans that have had past issues with drug problems, but not Democrats. All Democrats with drug problems are excused folks.
I guess you’re the expert doctor here because you seem to know everything about drug addiction, it’s causes, etc.
/sarcasm
Don’t believe me, Blame America. Believe pain management expert Allen Lebovits, PhD:
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m responding to an earlier post questioning if Rush committed any crimes. Rush, Cindy McCain, and Obama have been addressed on this thread so far. If you want to make a list of democrats who used drugs, knock youself out. I’m not interesting in a pissing contest on the issue. Your response here makes little sense, and is strangely defensive.
How can they not? The guy’s last name is White, for goodness sake, lol.
This doesn’t surprise me one bit… Did anyone actually WATCH the Democratic National Convention? When Michelle Obama was up there speaking, she focused on her hard-working and disabled father for giving her the drive to succeed as well as her big brother who watched over her. Her mother made her ambition possible because she babysat Michelle’s children. I can’t remember her mother ever smiling with pride (or anything else for that matter) that her daughter was giving a speech that very well may have added to her chances of becoming the next first lady. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, in my opinion. Michelle’s mother looked very bitter indeed!!!
Topic.
OT – “almost all pain patients do not get addicted to pain medications ” correct, “almost all”
/OT
OT-
I am trying to overcome an addiction to snickerdoodle cookies from Great American Cookie. I have become strungout as I impatiently wait in line behind mothers with small children.
“Hurry up with the frickin birthday chocolate chip, Meredith. The snickers just came out of the oven”.
/OT
OffT
Yeah, Rush was the exception. Funny that I’ll bet every pill junkie you asked would give you the same response. It wasn’t their fault. They were the exception./OffT
OnT The sqeaky wheel gets the grease. No one progresses very far in a law firm like Sidley without being their own best advocate. She may have crossed some lines, but I have zero doubt they would rather have someone like her than someone who is happy enough making the minimum billables to bonus and biding their time and collecting their fat paychecks before bolting./OnT
Still OT
For a serious look at opiates and the the risk of dependence (in this case in managing arthritis pain) check out Johns Hopkins. (They have other papers on it too, this one was easy to find.)
“In a study of chronic low back pain patients, 34% developed a substance use disorder, and in all cases, a history of substance abuse was present before the onset of their chronic pain.” Rather surprising but seems to have been mostly true in several studies.
later in the article
“In addition, individuals with a previous history of substance abuse prior to study entry were found to be at increased risk for recurrence during treatment for chronic pain. The mechanism of relapse back to substance abuse in these patients is not well understood and probably involves multiple factors; however, a cycle of pain followed by relief after taking medications is an example of operant reinforcement of their future use. Therefore, if the patient has unresolved pain and perceives a lack of commitment to treatment by the physician, they are at high risk for relapse into substance abuse. The best prevention of relapse comes from aggressive treatment of pain and close follow-up to monitor the patient for signs of relapse into dependence/addiction.”
Many patients do not get that “aggresive treatment of pain.” Why?
“Fears of regulatory pressure, medication abuse and the development of tolerance create a reluctance to prescribe opioids and many studies have documented this “underutilization”.
So for Rush and Cindy, treatment and followup by their physicians seems more appropriate than the criminal justice system (as for many others).
As for MichelleO, she says she doesn’t test well, and I believe her.
Aloha, the link doesn’t work, but did the study say that the people that developed the addiction followed the prescribed regiment? Cause that is my point.
I agree.
again the denial, but nothing to back up what you say. you never could answer my question about why wright is ’silly’. you libs cannot deal with issues, and have to ignore or deny them.
but then you wouldn’t be a good liberal if you were capable of independent thought.
I assume that was me…this is what I said:
this charge of ‘doctor shopping’ was a trumped up democRAT charge, just like the charges against Delay. it was only used once before against someone. just more proof that the RATs will do anything for power, and destroy anyone who stands in their way.
pure evil.
and when I said ‘get them illegally’ I meant fromm the street…obviously.
So why didn’t Rush fight them with firey indignation? Why didn’t he but those DemocRATS in their place like the true warrior he is? Why did he agree to accept outpatient treatment?
Let me guess…just like O’Reilly settled the falafel suit…he “just wanted to get it behind him” and “move on with his life” or some crap like that that all the guilty ones say.
So if someone embezzles, they didn’t do anything illegal, as opposed to the mugger?
This started out to be about bho’s woman however, may I say something? I’ve been taking pain meds for about 2 years now. Since starting my prescription I have not had one missed day of work because of my back pain and before I missed anywhere from 1-5 days monthly (or more). I’m divorced and living alone so you should see the taxes that come out of my paycheck!!! If taken according to a GOOD Drs directions the benifits far outweigh the hazards.
Oops sorry, here’s the link. Hopefully that will work. The most surprising thing to me is that virtually everyone who developed a dependency had a previous substance abuse problem (not that I’m saying anything about Rush or Cindy).
Getting the patient off can be tricky for a number of reasons. If you have “rebound pain” I can imagine it might cause a whole cycle that could lead to abuse.
“The essential element for successful opioid detoxification is the gradual tapering of the dose. Opioid withdrawal is generally not dangerous except in patients at risk from increased sympathetic tone, such as those with increased intracranial pressure or unstable angina. However, opioid withdrawal is very uncomfortable and distressing to patients. Tapering opioids often results in exacerbation of the patient’s primary pain symptom (rebound pain). Increases in pain can occur even if the analgesic effects of opioid therapy had not been appreciable. Although it is generally not possible to avoid discomfort completely, the goal of detoxification is to ameliorate withdrawal. “
Not in the mortgage business anyway…
Since we’re way off topic anyway, I’d like to mention how it went today when I cancelled my Dooshbag Network b/c of their Obama channel.
After I stated why I’m canceling, the low level rep read a prepared statement
‘paid advertisement’…..not an endorsement…..McCain could also buy a channel…..my payments are not supporting Obama’s airtime…etc. She then transferred me to the ’specialist’, who then read the same statement and asked “why did I really want to cancel’?
I stated it was due to Obama’s ties to an unrepentant terrorist and his socialist agenda. As if that were not enough, this idiot wanted more reasons!
I told her to just shut up and cancel my account, it’s not up for debate, I have to go back to my
self appointed social programjob.So, I’m done with those Tards.
Guess I’ll be watching the debates on PBS. Hurl!!!
Not sure how soon it will be reported to the ToofSquads here in St L, but I’m expecting that knock on the door, or at least a phat audit from the IRS.
But, I will not be kept
Silent In St Louis!!!
There are other reasons not to go to the ivies other than ability to pay. Not all schools have all majors. The dime a dozen majors have more status when coming from ivies. Even an ordinary college can have a world class program in a specific major. Princeton taught MO well, enabling her to continue her whinny ways. Maybe if she had truely been qualified to be there, she might be different today.
you really are a piece of work. you’re a liar as well as a moron. rush fought those trumped up political charges for years.
link
but if you weren’t a liar, you wouldn’t be a liberal, you piece of trash.
from the same link:
On October 6th, 2008 at 3:45 pm,
LOL. Yeah, unhappy employees are at a premium.
