I read part of an interview with Barak...he said he picked Michelle as a wife partly because of her "roots in Chicago."  Because roots are something he never really experienced as a child and it is appealing to him.

Roots or not, she is friggin annoying.  She is the epitome of everything negative I think about when thinking about Chicago....loud, demanding, thinks she superior.  If Barak is the next president, you can bet a lot of his policy will be based on what his over bearing wife thinks....because I don't imagine she will let him have a moment's respite if he doesn't do things her way.

Gah.  I DO NOT WANT HER FOR A FIRST LADY.
