He/she should have checked some basic facts before letting Michelle speak in front of International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen...

Michelle the First Fibber (Lew Rockwell, 10/2/09 LRC Blog)

Writes Jonathan O’neal:

Michelle Obama lied the whole time in her Olympics pitch. Big surprise, huh? She refers at one point to the time that she watched, from her father’s lap as Carl Lewis broke all of the records. Carl Lewis is only 3 years older than Michelle Obama, and his career took off around 1981. I assume that she was referring to the 1984 Olympics. This would have made Michelle a twenty-year-old college student, sitting in her father’s lap and dreaming of becoming an Olympic athlete. Late start, huh? Next, we’ll hear about how her helicopter was fired upon during the ‘88 Olympics, and she was forced to make an emergency landing while under intense sniper fire.
