Michelle Obama - per Mark Steyn
Considering the opportunities that she has had, her gratefulness is sure well-hidden.
Or, just maybe, she's not grateful? You know, the "you owed me" type...

On his website, Mark Steyn calls her "Mrs. Grievance":
"I’m willing to cut presidential spouses a lot of slack. When Senator Obama said Jeremiah Wright was like a goofy uncle, it was pointed out that your relatives are a given but you get to choose your pastor. It’s true that you also get to choose your wife, but, unless you’re particularly far-sighted, you don’t always choose them with a presidential run in mind. I found Teresa Heinz’s tone-deafness to the rhythms of democratic politics one of the more charmingly genuine features of John Kerry’s phony-baloney populist campaign. Who wouldn’t love a woman who, shanghaied into lunching at Wendy’s with Mr and Mrs John Edwards, demands to know what 'chili' is and has to have it explained to her by the clerk that it’s a meat-based food dish widely consumed around the United States. Oddly enough, despite being a couple of decades younger and several gazillion dollars poorer, Mrs Obama has a tin ear even Mrs Kerry must marvel at."
