1st lady echoes King's call to brace for hardship

Now there's a headline for you. It turns my stomach.

The 1st lady, Michelle Obama, knows all about hardship. After all didn't she grow up in an affluent, upper middle class neighborhood in Chicago where she would have to associate with the average black person on the street? Wasn't her father a union crane operator who made $70K per year plus benefits at a time when the average working man made $20K? Didn't she have to struggle, working two jobs, to work her way through Princeton?

Obviously here life has been hell, but she has persevered. Now she is a model for all the little black kids in the world. They can look at her and say, "If my dad was rich, I could live in the White House too."

Michelle, you really make me fucking sick.
