Time Essay: When Michelle Met Hillary…

Some amazing photo-journalism from the former news magazine, Time:

When Michelle Met Hillary…

Arrival
Michelle Obama and her entourage appear backstage between speeches at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Denver. She was there to attend a function hosted by PAC Emily’s List.

Big Hug
Hillary and Michelle meet.

Girl Talk
The former candidate and the wife of the nominee spend a rare moment catching up.

Three’s a Crowd
Chelsea Clinton joins her mother and Michelle.

En Route
Michelle makes her way to the Emily’s List Gala Reception.

What we find most astonishing is the implication that these two titans had never met before.

That is, apart from the countless times they have met during earlier Democrat and Senate functions, and of course during the primary and general campaigns.

Still, what history huh?

It’s like Time/Life’s sequence of the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

Only different.

    Yeah Steve….I see the comparison. How wonderful it is to see that these two women of the Milinium hug, shake hands and let their “FREAK” flags fly!! If…..these two gals were to rumble, my money is on Hilda. Shes’ killed before….she’ll kill again!!

    Wow………a historic meeting form maybe thirty seconds in a kitchen. Really newsworthy stuff there.

    Still, I got this feeling Hillary will likely fade into the background as Secretary of State while Michelle comes to the fore. She is one of the most ugly women I’ve seen, and it looks like her personality matches her exterior.

    OK, so we agree Michelle ain’t gonna be the most attractive first lady evah…so who will she emulate? She can’t cut it as a black Jackie Kennedy, but since her hubby is trying to pass himself off as a black FDR (at least he seems to be this week), maybe she could pass as a black Eleanor Roosevelt!

    She can’t emulate anyone. She’s the ‘original’ carbon copy, if that’s possible.

    So Michelle, honeychile, you’s on yo’ own, cupcake. You’ll just have to forge your own identity as the first black “first lady” of the first “second” black president. If that seems like a daunting task and you’re confused, what about the rest of us?

    “What we find most astonishing is the implication that these two titans had never met before. ”

    Somehow the word Behemoths fits better than Titans, But thats just my opinion.

    Does behemoth mean the same as horse’s ass?

    “Does behemoth mean the same as horse’s ass?”

    Sort of, Behemoth and Titan can both mean huge, but Titan’s were also the spawn of Uranus.
    So maybe SG was right all along. ;-)

    …..”Titan’s were also the spawn of Uranus…..”

    OK, so which one looks like a cape buffalo from either end? The behemoth or the titan? If this keeps up, we’re gonna need scorecards.

    I have to go with option C, Michelle Obama.

    I cant wait until the first White House dinner hosted by Big Omama. The media will have her as this delicate social butterfly with all of the flowering graces of a princess…..and then she will actually show up and stride in, elbow everyone out of the way and start slamming VSOP.. No matter how hard you try, no wardrobe can hide that hatred…that glowering hatred she carries for the rest of us. It should be interesting.
