Why Do We White People Dislike Michelle Obama?
huffingtonpost.com — In the latest NY Times/CBS News poll, I think one number has been over looked. Michelle Obama has a stunningly low approval rating with white people. Only 24% of white Americans have a favorable view of her. That's George Bush like numbers. That's almost in Dick Cheney territory. I don't get it. What did she ever do to anybody?

- Ronin, on 07/17/2008, -0/+5I have to agree with you Oprah has the power to sway white women. I really don't think america is ready for a Strong Female, let alone a Strong Black Women. I see a lot of myself in M.Obama. she is a role model for me. :) I think more black women and black girls need to strive to be more like her.
- NoDrama, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2If you meet Michelle you like her. If you only learn about her from viral email smears and baseless whisper campaigns coming from her detractors? We hear about terrorist fist jabs from even the most objective media as they echo the smears, after all. http://obamesque.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/baby-mam ...
She's still an unknown, frankly, in much the same position her husband has started each of his campaigns - so the dissemination of truthful information is what will win the hearts of US citizens. She's forthright, honest, passionate, intelligent, and well-educated (not to mention she has good taste in who she picked to marry and raise a family with.) - knumbknuts, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1I think ol' Cenk Uygur is playing fast and loose with "we."
To answer his question, it might have something to do with her "proud" comment. Duh.
Just because we don't like her, it doesn't mean we shouldn't.
