To be honest, I tried to ignore everything about the woman as much as I could. I don't care for Obama's politics, but he does have some likeable traits.
I don't see her in that light...

It's not surprising that people weren't proud of her.

Wowie Zowie -- black celebrity subject to racial slurs in public. Is that a blockbuster headline or what?

I remember all the reporting about this, don't you?
You are kidding right? I don’t remember it all.

I can see why they might not want to publicize this. Probably was a pretty common thing and to focus on it would detract from his agenda.

Yeah, but you'd think that at least one reporter, somewhere, would have commented on it.
Maybe s/he did, but it certainly didn't percolate to the surface of the news cycle during the two terms of the Obamas' racial healing.

If Michelle "could not go anywhere without racial slurs being hurled at her" then audio and video would exist, obviously. And obviously it would have been trumpeted throughout the culture by a media ravenous to publicize such things.

I wonder if this secret service agent has a book coming out, or some other reason to be looking for some publicity?

A former Secret Service agent says she couldn't defend Michelle Obama from racist verbal attacks.
Evy Poumpouras told Insider she "could do nothing" when witnessing racist comments.
Poumpouras' book, "Becoming Bulletproof," details her time in the Secret Service.

Just go through his twitter posts if you want to see a case study on motivated reasoning.

I am sure Michelle will rush to set the record straight about this obvious slander against the country she was First Lady of for eight years. They go low, she goes high. Watch it happen. I can't wait.
