**Written by Doug Powers Okay, before you read on about how Michelle Obama is saying we’ve come too far to turn back now and that she knows how difficult it is for people but if you only give it enough time you’ll fall in love with Hope & Change, it might be a good idea [...]

**Written by Doug Powers The last ballot will have barely been cast on election day when the Obamas will be on their way out of the country. It’s in the president’s selfless, humble nature to not want to be a distraction to the Democrat victory celebrations here and instead focus on world issues. While in [...]

A one woman fashion industry profit machine?

My column today is a rejoinder to Maureen Dowd’s plaintive wail about Republican Mean Girls in the NY Times on Sunday. I’ll take a GOP mama grizzly who wants government to leave you alone over a Democrat bully bureaucrat any day. As yesterday’s failed attacks on Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell, and Sharron Angle showed, the [...]

Ask not what your prayer circle can do for you. Ask what your prayer circle can do for my husband. In an interview to rally black voters on the Tom Joyner Show, Michelle Obama chose some rather odd words to motivate black voters of faith. Transcript via Black America Web: So, once again, we have [...]

Following in her do-nothing, Nobel Peace Prize-winning husband’s footsteps, First Lady Michelle Obama scooped up a laughably undeserved honor today: Forbes Magazine named her the “most powerful woman in the world.” How nice to see her husband spread the wealth in the Era of Post-Achievement. Let’s review. Mrs. O failed to clinch the Chicago Olympics [...]

My column spotlights the cronies and fat cats that First Lady Michelle Obama will raise money for over the next few weeks as she attempts to maintain her “I’m you!” populist pose. Among her first beneficiaries: Shady banking buddy Alexi Giannoulias, who just announced yesterday that he’s bailing on a scheduled debate — as the [...]

Lots of last-minute rebukes of Team Obama on Capitol Hill to report as Congress adjourned for the midterm elections break. The Senate gave the president the back of the hand on recess appointments. And now we learn that House Democrats rejected the First Lady’s aggressive push to fund her anti-childhood obesity/union payoff campaign by raiding [...]

**Written by Doug Powers As the world leaders were back in the City scheming to divvy up money that doesn’t belong to them, the spouses hung around with FLOTUS and received a basket that I’m predicting will come to be known as “the re-gifting heard ’round the world”: First lady Michelle Obama underscored her healthy [...]

“Your pasta carbonara à la FLOTUS, sir”

**Written by Doug Powers Is it just me, or is ABC’s Jake Tapper being a little sarcastic? In Tapper’s “breaking news” story, he writes about yet another tightly guarded secret. On Monday, the manager of an ice cream shop went into “I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you” mode when asked [...]

Insatiable.

**Written by Doug Powers Kathleen Parker has a column in the Washington Post that calls for over-reactionary American critics of Hope & Change™ to leave Michelle Obama alone and cut her a break for the Spain trip and other extravagance during these tough economic times. Leave her alone? The First Lady is a proponent of [...]

Thumbs down.

Sacrifice.

How, um, thoughtful. First Lady Michelle Obama is gathering card signatures for her husband’s upcoming birthday. Presumably, this will make up for Mrs. Obama’s absence on hubby’s birthday. She won’t be there to celebrate because, as you know, she’ll be vacationing (again!) on your dime in Spain. (Laura Ingraham, whose Obama Diaries tops the NYTimes [...]

**Written by Doug Powers The president’s family is feeling a hit like most Americans these days: He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone “up and down” with the stock market. [...]

“I shall return…”

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers Michelle Obama visited the Gulf coast today, and suggested that Americans who are planning vacations this summer consider taking them in the Gulf region as a sign of economic solidarity with those impacted by the oil spill. From ABC’s Jake Tapper: On her first trip to the Gulf Coast since [...]

I’ll bet she can find an ass to kick

Digging for more green

**Posted by guest-blogger Doug Powers The child of an apparent illegal may have stumbled upon a new approach for illegals to keep the Feds off their backs for good: Have your kids admit it in a classroom to a member of the First Family on national television: Immigration officials will not swoop in to deport [...]

My syndicated column today takes on the First Lady’s hypocritical war on junk food. You can find the White House obesity task force report that lays the groundwork for Mrs. Obama’s nutritional power grab here. Or as White House aide Melody Barnes puts it: “It will serve as a roadmap for the work we need [...]

Big Mommy Michelle Obama launched her childhood obesity campaign in February by dragging her daughters’ BMIs into the public spotlight and carrying water for the SEIU’s legislative agenda. What’s next? Aggressive government pressure on, and policing of, food advertisers. Here they come: The review by the Task Force on Childhood Obesity says one out of [...]

The First Lady is headed to Mexico City to meet with her counterpart there and discuss “youth engagement.” WaPo’s fashion writer Robin Givhan performs her usual East Wing press release service disguised as journalism: In embarking on her first solo trip, Obama is following an agenda that her staff will describe only in the broadest [...]

Three words: Boo-freaking-hoo. Didn’t take long to play the woman card and the race card, did it? I see an NAACP “National Treasure” Award in Desiree’s future…

Liberals are funny. Everything is a “national security” issue to them…except, well, national security. Global warming is a national security issue. Health care reform is a national security issue. And now, First Lady Michelle Obama is pushing her anti-obesity platform as a national security issue. Via CNSNews (hat tip: Doug Powers): At a ceremony at [...]

Cede the children, feed the state.

Hey, whatever happened to leaving the Obama girls alone? Charm City Moms: A blog for Maryland parents by The Baltimore Sun’s Kate Shatzkin The Obama children and child obesity President Barack Obama is in Baltimore today, but it’s his wife’s last pronouncement on her campaign against childhood obesity that’s caught my attention. As the president [...]
