Michelle Obama: "Distressed" about Daley, Madigan, Hynes clout
WASHINGTON-- When Michelle Obama worked in Mayor Daley's City Hall in the early 1990s, she was "distressed" by how a small group of "white Irish Catholic" families -- the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans -- "locked up" power in Illinois.
And as she prepared to become first lady, Mrs. Obama naively wanted to delay a move into the White House for six months, so her daughters could finish the school year. Her initial thought was to "commute" to the White House from her South Side home. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2012/01/michelle_obama_distressed_abou.html
From the book:
“It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere… That’s the world! On which hope sits!”
Obama took the line from one of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s sermons. It was such a powerful sermon it made it into Obama’s book. (page 293, Dreams of My Father).
Don’t expect to see this in the liberal media.
