Poor Mrs. Obama.
Michelle Obama has become an issue in the presidential campaign even though she isn't running for anything.
Does she mention on the stump that she and her husband finished paying off their student loans not long ago, plainly an attempt to convince voters that they are regular folks who know about economic challenges? .....[White men] are now confronted with yet another spouse who is obviously more than a demure helpmate to her husband.
Let us all boo a big ol' hoo for Mrs. Obama, who has been out there on the campaign trail, spreading the Obama family fables, uninformed, uninvolved electorate who won't earn her pride until they elect her husband. We can likewise sob sympathetically while she headlines fundraisers and rakes in cash so hubby won't look the fool for flipping on public financing.
It's just so unfair, picking on a helpless wife and mommy who wants nothing more than public adulation with nary a hint of criticism.
Let's not wonder why all these angry protests came out only after Obama officially denied the existence of a "Whitey" tape. For most of June, the press has been ignoring the rumor and tiptoeing around Michelle Obama because (shhhhh) they were all worried it might be true.
But now that it's not, boy, are they pissed.
