Michelle celebrates her 50th birthday as the domestic world around her, is just beginning to realize how much of a premidonna she is.

<<< She really comes off as a Marie Antoinette-type character that frivolously spends as the people suffer under the “King’s” iron rule. Instead of “let them eat cake” she says, “make them eat vegetables.”

As she prepares for the 26th multi-week vacation in 5 years,  we have this commentary

from DownTrend:  

Today is First Lady Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday and to help commemorate this momentous occasion ABC News has prepared a list of ways you can help her celebrate. The list of 50 Ways To Celebrate Michele Obama’s Birthday is supposed to be a loving tribute, but it shows how truly unimportant Barack’s “trophy wife” has been.

The list tries really hard to note all of Michelle’s accomplishments, but the best it can come up with is drinking more water and forcing school children to eat food they describe as “barf.” Other important things the First Lady has done include shopping and taking vacations. She really hasn’t established herself as a woman of the people.

Here are a few highlights of the ways you can be like Michelle:

1. Dance to Beyonce

3. Move into a massive new house with your family and invite your mother to move in too

5. Make the cover of Vogue

8. Buy a Jason Wu dress

11. Shop at J. Crew

16. Watch Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing” on your first date with your future husband

18. Hang out with your friend, Oprah

23. Roll your eyes at House Speaker John Boehner or the Danish prime minister

27. Challenge Desmond Tutu to a pushup contest

32. Hug, kiss and fist bump the President of the United States

33. Shop at Target with sunglasses on

38. Make your husband stop smoking

40. Do the Dougie (with Jimmy Fallon)

43. Dine at Spiagga in Chicago

45. Say “never say never” to botox

46. Hang out in Hawaii for an extra week as an early birthday gift

47. Host the most popular boy band in the world at your daughters’ first party in their new home

50. Just keep on dancing…

Wow, those seem like the accomplishments of Paris Hilton or maybe a Kardashian, not the Ivy League educated First Lady of the United States. She really comes off as a Marie Antoinette-type character that frivolously spends as the people suffer under the “King’s” iron rule. Instead of “let them eat cake” she says, “make them eat vegetables.”

Are the Obama's black racists? Maybe not, but their shared vision puts blacks at the front of the class - according to this Princeton paper by Michelle.

 Again,  I believe there is a difference between a racist black person and one who sees the need to put black needs first, in certain situations.  While Michelle means well,  in this paper,  she is clearly a black woman in every sense of the word.  Whether that constitutes racism or not,  will be a decision you will make  --  blog editor.
