There is no doubt that Michelle Obama has some anger issues. It might seem puzzling as to why a rich, successful, and well-educated woman with a good shot at becoming First Lady should be so darn mad. Maybe she should listen to P.J. O’Rourke who explains a bit about fairness:

I’ve got a 10-year-old at home. She’s always saying, “That’s not fair.” When she says this, I say, “Honey, you’re cute. That’s not fair. Your family is pretty well off. That’s not fair. You were born in America. That’s not fair. Darling, you had better pray to God that things don’t start getting fair for you.”

I think something else is going on here as well: good old-fashioned pandering. Remember: the Obamas are convinced that the little guys are bitter. So what better way to bond with them then to join in the whine festival. “You’ve got electric bills you can’t pay? I know what you mean! $10,000 summer camp bill bum me out too!” And so it goes.
