I'd bet that she IS whining, but probably only to her family. I don't think she's all that bright, but I think she learned her lesson about speaking out to anyone outside her VERY small circle of trust.

especially after reading that shitty display of Rasmussen. Mrs. Obama is a statute of integrity, enough said.

I honestly thought it would be ok, a pleasant read. But it's way more than that. I won't bore anyone with details, but I have totally connected with her on several levels she's so real in the book.
