In 2012, Michelle Obama Told David Letterman About Her Target Victimization, Only She Claimed She "Felt so Good" to Not Be Recognized

But of course in 2012, her immediate political need was putting a warm, fuzzy gauze on the Obama reelection campaign, so her anecdote was related as a Just One of the Common Folks at Heart aesop.

"That's my Target run. I went to Target," she said. "I thought I was undercover. I have to tell you something about this trip though. No one knew that was me because a woman actually walked up to me, right? I was in the detergent aisle, and she said -- I kid you not -- she said, 'Excuse me, I just have to ask you something,' and I thought, 'Oh, cover's blown.' She said, 'Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?' I kid you not."
As the audience laughed, she went on, "And the only thing she said -- I reached up, 'cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down -- she said, 'Well, you didn't have to make it look so easy.' That was my interaction. I felt so good.... She had no idea who I was."

But in 2014, her political need is to show that she's Down with the Struggle, so the same incident becomes a searing racial humiliation.

I imagine The Usual Suspects will just make the usual arguments: "Oh, she was so traumatized by this experience of course she remembers it differently each time she talks about it. You're just re-victimizing her by pointing out that this is also a classic sign of deception."

And no one calls her out on this, or her husband. And we have ALL the evidence we need of all their lies on record as they say them right there on television and the radio but yet no one will go, Hold on just a second there Mooch, here is what you said just last week about this very same subject. Why are you now claiming something else?

Well of course we all know why no one does call these two pathetic liars out as that would be racist of course. Its so disgusting how far these two grifters have set back all sorts of relations in the USA. How much they hate and violence they have directly or indirectly stirred up with their remarks. Yet dont you dare say anything to injure the tender feelings of our thin skinned egomaniac of a President or our extremely racist First Lady or Al Sharpton and his idiot legions will come and blackmail you into giving them anything they want.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html

"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. "I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

etc. etc.

Her entire adult life has been based on fabricating "racial victimhood" and she skates through elite universities and scores $300,000 do-nothing jobs and marries future presidents.

She is a con artist.

This, this is the worst racism our president and first lady have experienced in their lives. The example she has to pick, when asked to choose among what must be thousands of indignities she must have suffered because of the color of her skin is one that is barely offensive and seems to not even be racist at all.

This is the state of racism now. This is racism in the US.

It's nothing. It's over. Nanoaggressions don't deserve discussion.

There is no more racism in America anymore. So has declared Michelle Obama.

What would be really cool would be to track the Target surveillance tapes and find the lady who asked for help, and she turns out to be black herself, and didn't realize it was Michelle Obama and just wanted a little help and now that Michelle is trying to make some big deal of it, wishes she would just STFU.

Shameful that these worthless Marxist scum want not only the full credit for the slightest bit of help they accidentally give someone, but also to use it to make themselves victims.

Or unaware of reality. Princeton was socially stratified by income and what prep school one went to and where one lives.

There were Blacks on the inside when she was there. That she wasn't isn't a reflection on Princeton's racism, it is a reflection of its snobbishness.

The Left acts as if all conservatives/Republicans are wealthy when they attempt to place all of us in the top 1-10% of income earners. So, are all Republicans members of the 1-10%? Or are we all rednecked high-school dropouts on welfare (as they claim when they talk about red states)?

There are many different flavors of Tide.

They all kind of taste the same mixed with gin.

============================

Tide in paste is the best! The blue things are crunchy. Just like that Major Crunch cereal I had as teenager.

217 The mistake in reading the comments in the article brought up a gem along the lines of adding to a story later on.

Yes everyone has. How often does a person completely take said story and completely change its meaning from a positive to a negative one? Outside of people who have interest in making up narratives to fit whatever they want.

I disagree with the author on one thing though. The soldiers of Vietnam were just as strong, just as agressive, and just as disciplined in the field as the troops he was describing in his article.

They did the same thing, only in harsher conditions. It's one thing to pack a mortor base-plate up a mountain in Afghanistan, quite another to struggle through impenetrable jungle with the same sized mountain. The jungle does things to the spirit that no other enviroment will do.

I could go on, but, you get the picture. The American fighting man has always been the same type of soldier this man describes.

244 "But in 2014, [Mooch's] political need is to show that she's Down with the Struggle, so the same incident becomes a searing racial humiliation."

Said need to prove one's race card cred being particularly acute when one is, at a time when black America is asserted to be under assault, preparing to deal with that assault by jetting off for a 17-day luxury vacation in one of America's least black states.

249 27 Michelle in 2009: "And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities."
_________________________________

She's so full of crap. I remember reading an article back in 2008 that reported that she'd basically been fired from Sidley & Austin, the only law firm she ever worked in. They gave her a job as a junior associate right out of law school, but it took her more than a year after graduation before she passed the Illinois bar, which means she probably flunked at least one bar exam. In the article, her aunt was quoted as saying that she had asked Michelle why she wasn't working at the firm anymore, and Michelle told her that a partner in the firm had told her that the firm "wasn't the right fit" for her (IOW, "you're not cutting it, get out"). She only went into "public service" after she couldn't find another job as a lawyer, and used her daddy's political connections to get a political patronage job.

259 You know, I think we need to encourage that whole 'civic pride and duty to our fellows' stuff that the scouts used to do. It made for a much more pleasant society overall. Yes, everyone could still be a terror in private, but it made for much more pleasant experience in public.

Civic virtue - what a radical concept.
