The tonguebath “interviews” of the Uh-bamas are startling in their overtness, though I suppose outright fear of having one’s head removed for displeasing Michelle is some sort of lame, weak defense…
["NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian] Williams awkwardly prompted Obama to expound on how historic it would be for her husband to move into the White House: “ How do you begin to wrap your head around the bigger picture of, if you’re successful, you’ll move into a house where, when the Adams’ moved in...slaves were finishing the plaster over the fireplace?” To this, Mrs. Obama remarked, “Oh, I don’t go there too much. That’s a lot. I mean, I’m aware of that history."
As that particular Executive Mansion was burned by the British in 1814 and only the exterior walls remained, I imagine his point was more a feeeeeling one…
