p> MISSING THE FORMER MICHELLE br> Re: John Tabin's American Girl : /p> p>Michelle Obama came off phony and rehearsed and certainly out of character. The words didn't fit the personality we came to know early in the campaign before she was coached by her handlers and given limited TV exposure. This was clearly an attempt to undo her Angela Davis image. br> -- John W. Nelson /p> p> To say that Michelle Obama has been re-packaged by the Obama campaign is an understatement. Gone was the sharp tongued, sassy, America doubting, twice Ivy League-educated and highly paid multi-millionaire feminist. Instead, we got a Hillary redux of just an awe shucks ordinary "college educated" American wife standing by her man. The question is, can the Obama campaign and Michelle keep the burka she's being forced to wear, in order to cloak her true identity, on for another 2 months? I sure hope for her sake that the weather stays cool. br> -- A. DiPentima /p>

As so often happens when I try to understand what Democrats are going to do, I come away confused.
