Michelle Obama refers to herself as a “busy single mother”

Michelle Obama refers to herself as a “busy single mother”. It might be a Freudian slip but we don’t think Freud wore slips. [Video at the link.]

  • Single? No. Obama spends so much time on vacations and using our taxpayer dollars to send his kids to an expensive school - HARDLY a single parent either technically or even theoretically.

    I don't buy it.

  • Yup, single mom, food shopping, cooking, cleaning house, driving the kids to whereever...all the while holding down a full time job.

    ...oh, Wait.

  • Reminds me of when Obama mentioned his "Muslim faith" on ABC only to have George S. jump in and say he meant to say his "Christian faith". It's difficult to play a part 24/7/365, eventually the truth is at least hinted at.

  • Hard to be a single mother when your own mother is living in the same house as you, who in all actuality is living off the people of this country. You can't be single mom with a bevy of servants and an entourage of staff to answer your every whim or desire.

    The wookie tries to come off as something of a normal individual but fails miserably at it.

  • A "single" mom? We all know the Obummer isn't any good at running our country so, maybe, he isn't much good at his matrimonial duties either. That would be a National Enquirer headline! Barry a Bummer in The Sack!

  • How insulting to working single mom's everywhere. But these people are not just liars, they are liars who get away with it. Anyone with even medium cognitive skills will see that she is at best and ignorant woman, at worst a bold-faced liar. But that is not who she is talking to. "Her" people are the stupidest, most dependent, least educated, most drug and alcohol-addled people out there. And they are really incapable of rubbing the brain cells together to understand that Queen Michelle is NOT one of them - even if she has the same skin tone.

    • She is just using a pre planned script to try and get single moms to feel for her, Not many single moms I ever met can go to exotic locals for vacations, while having servants make your meals and take care of your every need. And after reading this I have to buy a New B.S. meter, the other one broke...

  • I have friends and family who are busy single mothers. As in work 2 or 3 jobs sometimes very late at night and have to be up at the crack of dawn after bartending or waiting tables or being a nurse til the wee hours to make sure their kids are up and fed and ready for school. For Ms.Obama to put herself in that company while constantly taking 7 figure vacations and enjoying luxuries even the most well off of us here could ever afford is a slap in the face to every hard working mother out there. I don't have anything snarky to say about this, but I will say SHAME ON HER. When she raises 3 kids, keeps them clothed, fed, and manages to send them all to college on what she earns from her job and her late husband's Social Security (no LINK or Section 8 Btw) like a friend of mine did, then she can talk and I'll listen

  • Since I'm pretty well convinced that she's nothing more than a "beard" for Barry, and he married her because she was as close to looking like a man as possible, and, I'm sure she had the girls through artificial insemination, that description is very accurate!
