WHERE'S THE WACHOVIA - CITI - WELLS FARGO LITIGATION STORY?

WHERE'S THE WACHOVIA - CITI - WELLS FARGO LITIGATION STORY?

Wow, Michelle Obama really comes across as a bitch in that article. I have to seriously question the judgment of a man who would marry her. Maybe if she was hot or something. Obama is good looking, highly educated, and a real smooth talker. Why he settled with Michelle is beyond me. Is that same type of poor decision making going to find its way into foreign affairs? The US is a little past her prime, but we can still play up the MILF angle. I don't want Obama ruining our country's relations by getting us tied down with the Michelle's of the world like...I dunno...Serbia.

3/4: Isn't it the top story?

Kash, I know you are studtyuing, and I know you are not a lawyer, but the Citi injunction was trumped by the Federal court. Try to keep up.

5: I think the problem was that she's been handed everything in life--having to actually work was a huge shock to Michelle Obama.

/Boo hoo. My hard scrabble life lead both me and my brother to Princeton. We had it sooooooooooooo hard! We had to work for it!
//Hahaha no you didn't. 2 out of 2 yield for HYP rivals even the greatest families in America.
///A steady diet of affirmative action will make you think you're more valuable than you actually are.

5 -- Agreed. She sounds like a brat with an entitlement problem. I'm sure she was a joy to work with.

8 -- Not only was it trumped by a federal court, but a NY appellate court vacated Ramos' decision as well.

9, come on. Give a girl a little credit!

Lat -- do a story on this:

55 days until my job search officially begins!!! should i tailor my covers letters to each firm or should i just tailor them to each market?

-nervous T-10 1L

she didn't like her job??? well if that's not good enough reason to vote for an idiot who knows nothing about anything other than marrying younger ladies, and a vice who just knows nothing i dont know what is.

12: Give Michelle Obama credit how? Like admitting that she deserves $273,618 per year for being acting to "better integrate community engagement into the culture of [UChicago Hospitals] and to expand our partnerships with local organizations and institutions."

/Wait--isn't that called being a community organizer?
//Why, yes, it is.
///Doesn't that mean that she should be giving to the community rather than being paid exorbitant sums of money by the hospital?
////Lawl, no. You're new to the whole "community organizer" game, aren't you? Jesse Jackson has made more money and done more for his family than you ever will.

20, even if Jesse Jackson has got rich by serving his community, hasn't he done great things? Hasn't the southside of Chicago done a complete 180 since Jesse and Barack started working that beat? People actually want to live there now, and there's a minor risk of being murdered. The schools are great down there! Thanks Jesse and Barack!

21: Woah there. UChicago is good, but I wouldn't call it great.

20 & 21: Even if they did personally make out, they still helped the problem. What have you done other than mock those who try?

I mentored a second year once who told me he was a "big picture" guy, not so much into detail work. I laughed in his face. MO sounds like a tw@t extraordinaire.

"even if Jesse Jackson has got rich by serving his community, hasn't he done great things? Hasn't the southside of Chicago done a complete 180 since Jesse and Barack started working that beat?"

Repeat after me: cum hoc, ergo propter hoc.

24: I'm not cumming on command, creep. Stay away.

Good for Michelle. Why settle for being a second-year associate doing the most exciting work Sidley has to offer when you can instead go after a man who will later run for senate and president so you can be the first lady? I never realized how similar to Hillary Michelle is ambition-wise.

24, I think 21's point was a little more nuanced than a correlative fallacy. Perhaps (s)he was pointing out that liberal policies engender reliance on public handouts, and they, thus, prevent poor people from helping their own lots. Perhaps (s)he was arguing that these programs always fail because those who run them have a strong interest in seeing that their jobs are secure. Maybe (s)he was arguing that social darwinism should be allowed to kick in. Most likely (s)he was arguing that community organizers are no different than street pimps.

None of those options are very nice, but at least they're coherent.

25: you tell him, Ned Beatty ! You're the boss of YOU !

I find it interesting that neither of the Obamas is authorized to practice law; see:

https://www.iardc.org/ardcroll.asp

Michelle has been since 1993 according to that link.

i think yall r just jelus that BARAK OBAMA is makin his paper and yall arnt. hussle harder, baby!

Say what you will about Michelle, I'm still voting for Rev. Obama.

I always suspected Ms. Obama couldn't cut law firm life, and this just confirms it. I doubt the Senator would have been able to cut it, either.

32--Let me get your point straight. We look down on her because she's made it without slaving for a firm with the tiny hope of making partner.

It's ironic that Michelle is getting heat for hating on law firm life from a bunch of folks that read (and comment on) a blog that.... oh I don't know.... hates on law firm life.

The Michelle story only makes me admire her more. Go 'head girl!

34 & 35: It's not irony. It may be hypocrisy, but it's not irony. Please don't toss out words that you don't know how to use. k thx bye.

Working at a law firm as a junior associate is a waste of time.

34/35: The difference is that Michelle got the best assignments available, and was still a whiny bitch.

Actually, it is irony. One would expect that people who bash law firm life regularly would be sympathetic to Michelle's position. Instead, they are bashing her. Their behavior is the opposite of what one expected; a classic example of irony.

The irony is this -- at the end of the day Michelle Obama got a job at Sidley, where she was offered opportunities to work on the firm's premier clients. Sarah Palin would not have gotten a job as toilet cleaner at Sidley or any other V100, yet she (up until last week) had a chance of becoming the VP. Yup yup.

Dissatisfied? Come on. Do tell, how do you feel about the Obamas?

It's a lot more than that -- it paints her as an extreme climber, a ball-breaker, and a self-important biatch. Which, surprise surprise, is exactly how she comes across.

I expect it from the NYT and the rest of the media, but ATL in the tank for Obama? Sad.

40: I expect somebody who finds work appropriate to her associate level painfully boring to leave the firm and pursue work that's more interesting to her. I do not expect that person to sit and collect the highest paycheck available in the field and continue to complain about how boring the work is to the extent that she would go over a partner's head to avoid the tedious work that everybody else in her class is subjected to. I'm voting for Obama, but his wife's a piece of work, to say the least.

I find it interesting that the guy interviewed deemed MO the most "ambitious" lawyer he'd met, but he said nothing about her being the most talented or brilliant lawyer he'd met.

Headline: Second year law firm associate bored by assignments; complains and then leaves firm.
That's really interesting news. It's shocking!

Why don't we

a) Read the rest of the excerpt before falling over purselves in passing judgment on her and
b) Question the perception of the person making the comments? These are her personal opinions and possibly these opinions are different from others working with MO...

I'd still pick a couple of Harvard Law grads over Mccheat and w'atzerface who took 5 schools and 6 years to get through undergrad...but that is just me....

Sarah Palin is a dummy. I can't believe she's a vice-presidential nominee! It's amazing.
