I am watching MSNBC and hearing Michele Bernard wax so eloquently about her family and

[BrklynLiberal]

how excited she is, makes me feel like I am losing my mind. Since when was she such a big Obama supporter? I remember her as being more of repuke talking-points person. Am I edging into pre-senile dementia?

1. I think you're just having a hard time being happy for her and her family.

7. huh?????????

[malaise]

2. She is the biggest hypocrite of them all

She suddenly morphed into an Obama supporter. She is fooling no one. Let me add she knows nothing about Jamaica.
Fugg her - here comes Obama

[havocmom]

3. Her perspective and eloquence at sharing it with us brings tears

She is amazing.

[malaise]

6. I have to disagree

She's a Rethug hypocrite - an embarrassment to Jamaica.

4. She's generally conservative, but never been anti-Obama..

it is pretty surreal to hear people like her and Peggy Noonan gush over him though.

[Stinky The Clown]

5. I despise her

She is the protege of Barbara Olson and Ricky Silberman.

Suddenly she's all for Obama.

Fuck her and her whole schtick.

10. I am glad that I am not alone in this. Thanks.

she has changed and got more and more on his side.

9. maybe he's won her over, he has that ability

I went to law school with Michelle and was a member of her wedding party (her first wedding). The reason why Michelle is a supporter of Obama is that she is an opportunist. In law school she was a liberal democratic and supported the party. A black male friend of ours Vernon Parker, changed his party to become a Republican. He got a political appointment and shot up through the administration. Michelle thought this was a great way to move up the ranks in politics…fewer black conservatives gives her higher visibility. So she went for it. She is supporting Obama because she wants a political appointment and this is the easiest and fastest way to get there now that she sees that the Republicans have no shot at regaining the White House.

Trust me, I know Michelle.

12. So she is also an opportunist, not just a hypocrite.

13. Methinks she's looking for the express elevator at the Obama WH as a recent convert.
