Well, wouldn’t THIS be interesting?
Screenshot because at the moment it’s just a Drudge link; the NYT may run with something else entirely tomorrow. At any rate, I wonder if the stated reason for the First Lady’s hypothetical absence from the campaign trail this season is in fact the correct one; it seems odd that such a thing would be spoken of in public, let alone permitted. Mind you, I can’t say that I blame Michelle Obama for not wanting to campaign for the collection of vaguely useless politicians that the Democrats are running this cycle…

PS: Show couth. Thank you. And yes, I want her out of my kids’ lunch menu as much as the rest of you do.
She may not want to be associated with failure.
……….Isn’t it a little late for that to be a concern? Bless her heart……….
If Mrs. Obama really wanted to do the country some long-term good, she might turn her efforts to ending the economic obesity of our federal budget. Then again, since her husband has done so much to contribute to it, that might prove awkward.
Think about this – with most of the world starving, isn’t it a testament to the success of the capitalist system in the United States that Michelle believes the main problem facing America is obesity?
Oh, she IS campaigning. Tomorrow she’s here at UMaine* shilling for Mike Michaud for governor. Because being tied to Washington is what he needs right now. >:D
*At the Susan Collins Center for the Arts. Campaigning for Senate here would be… problematic.
So, if she is campaigning, just not for Senate races, then .. look, let me be blunt, in that family the political skill seems to be hers, not his.

As if there were any doubt who had the real power in that relationship anyway…
