Oh really. 
 

Which ‘identity and cards’ have I played in this thread?

 

Or are you trolling again?!

Jonny sets about an intelligent and articulate woman with derogatory remarks aimed at her and her husband, his remarks on the latter being libelous slurs.

 

Nothing much changes.

She's a bimbo like you.

I loved it when she complained about how expensive it was to live in the White House.

 

Yeah that was classic. Moaning about having to pay for a bit of food while living rent free in the White House. 😃  

It's never enough for these people. You could give them a million cash and they'd complain about the colour of the briefcase.

 

Poor Barack. Must have really been through it. No wonder he's aged. I'm sure Jennifer is a good listener though. 

[ChicagoExpat]

I'm sure no fan of either Obama but this seems like a dumb, and even mean thing to dump on her for.  Yes, women talk waaaay more about their feelings than men do, and yes, she is part of that group of people who just love to share whatever she is going through, for whatever reason (attention?).

 

But at the same time she's a mom in a tough time in life, no matter if she's rich and obnoxious.  Not sure if any of us stayed married long enough to the woman we had kids with to see her go through the "empty nest," but it's hard on a woman.  Their lives are wrapped up in being Moms and then in a way suddenly they aren't anymore.

I occasionally check my profile, the list of profile visitors gives an indication of who might be stalking me. 
 

Your comment prompted me to do so again.. Oh and there you are, with a couple of my other regular visitors.

It must be awesome to be in therapy, someone listens to all your emabarassing inner demons. A bit like posting on here really. 

 

But more expensive.

 

Although the objective of therapy is to improve one's self...

[Quentin Zen]

family is probably worth between 50 and 100,000,000 USD.  Plus connections for life, money for life, power for life, etc....

 

I can't worry about her "tough transition" that requires therapy.

 

 

[Keep Right]

I do not know if Michelle is just having a bad hair day or what but the accompanying photo of her on the first post is frightening. She has not aged well and maybe the reason that there seems to be some friction in Obama's marriage. I am so glad there is a real woman in the White House again.

I don't think her intention is for you to have concerns about her per se. She has spoken out on several occasions in the past about mental health issues, and she has been open and honest about her own struggles on that front. 

 

I believe her objective has always been to help remove the stigma mental health issues, and encourage people to talk more about it. Imagine how much better the world might be if there were fewer people beset with crippling anxiety or depression. She is doing her bit to encourage people to seek help without shame.

No matter what Trump says. money cannot buy everything.

 

Whilst I am not an empty nest Mum, I am an empty nest Dad for the second time and there is still  hole in my heart where both of my sons were. She certainly has my sympathy, and if she thinks that she needs therapy to help her get over it, then go for it.

 

Ignore the chattering class whiners, and do what you think is best for you.

[cdemundo]

It's pathetic that some here have denigrated Michelle Obama's intelligence.

Objectively you cannot hold a candle to her.

 

She graduated cum laude from Princeton University.

She graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor degree.

 

Just speaking from admission statistics (Princeton acceptance rate of 4%, Harvard Law 9.5%), an application to those schools from her detractors here would have been thrown in the trash unread by the student intern and never considered for admission.

To be clear,  you could never even get to the place where her accomplishments began.

 

Second, the obvious envy over her wealth.

A great deal of her personal wealth came from her memoir “Becoming" which sold 14 million copies worldwide.

Nothing stopping you.

Call up Crown publishers and see what they think about publishing a memoir concerning your thoughts, experiences and achievements.

I'm sure you would get a fair hearing, which, to be fair, would be no hearing at all.

 

Pathetic envy and jealousy from people who have never done anything of note trying to attack a person who has significant accomplishments.

What people are these people?

Very poor self awareness you display.

 

By the way the point of Michelle's cash is that it wasn't given to her.

She has had gainful employment by virtue of being a Harvard Law Grad which means she commands a salary many can only dream of and a significant portion of her wealth is from her million-selling memoir.

Your envy is so clear to be seen.

Let's be honest for a moment, she's rich because of who she married.

Harvard law grads, which Michelle Obama is, have a median annual salary of $233,589.

https://nationaljurist.com/national-jurist/insight/top-schools-for-salary-versus-debt/#:~:text=Harvard Law School has the,-income ratio of 39.9%.

 

So with or without Barack she would have been financially comfortable.

 

As far as being an entitled brat, Michelle Obama did not come from a privileged background. Her family was not wealthy at all.

Something about her triggers you, what could it be?

 

[klauskunkel]

I never needed therapy to start my retirement, I just ticked the right  box on the form.

Of course, Michelle has to make a whole production of it... Whatever.

Good one.

Always with the razor sharp wit, a regular Oscar Wilde.

[Jingthing]

I probably shouldn't bother to post here, but it just occurred to me that my level of interest in what Michelle Obama does or doesn't do is basically zero.

I realize many right winger make up stories that she'll run for president someday.

Do they even believe that or it is just trolling? (She NEVER will.)

... and let's not forget she has achieved a Ph.D.

 

I have a Ph.D. and I've joined several Ph.D. committees. 

 

Many would consider law to be the hardest subject to battle and achieve a Ph.D.

She studied studied sociology and African-American studies at Princeton University., not exactly nuclear science, let's not go overboard.

 

She did make it through law school and joined Sidley & Austin, which is hard,, but she could not hack it at Sidley Austin and quickly quit to become a  "community advisor".

 

Albert Einstein she ain't. Nor a common partner at a top law firm, not good enough.

 

 

 

 

[EVENKEEL]

Not a single transition joke yet?  I would expect better. 

 

You know. Not the first one.

As a multi millionaire she is so oppressed and life has been so unfair to her, sob sob. She does not need therapy after getting shot of those two brats, she needs a celebratory drink.

I suspect she needs therapy because it has finally dawned on her that she is yesterday's news. 

 

Melania is in the white house, and Barack is "just good friends" with Jennifer.

 

Nothing to do with the 2 brats.
