First Lady Michelle Obama is now aggressively crusading for her husband’s health care takeover.
It’s more than fair to investigate her background and associations, especially with fellow board members of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
For example, what is the relationship between these two individuals?
Michelle Obama
First Lady of the United StatesWilliam A. Osborn
Chairman of the Board, Northern Trust Corporation
Answer: Northern Trust Corporation was involved in the Tony Rezko – assisted purchase of the Obama homestead in Chicago.
Others have noted how Michelle Obama’s salary increased dramatically when Barack was elected Senator.
Both Michelle and her boss at the time were/are board members of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
Michelle’s former job description (before becoming first lady):
Michelle Obama
Vice President for Community and External Affairs, The University of Chicago Hospitals
… and her boss…
Robert J. Zimmer
President and Trustee, The University of Chicago

Yes, she should be vetted more thoroughly if she is now an administration mouthpiece.
It appears that their theme of “if you oppose Barack Obama’s policy then you are a racist” has been replaced with “if you oppose Michelle Obama’s policy then you are a misogynist.”

Those two themes are simply different sides of the same coin.
Also, Godwin’s Law applies to the race card and the gender card, not just the Hitler card anymore.
