Isn’t She Lovely?
Michelle stands by her man. Racism revisionism. Mensa Democrats. A poem for Lawrence Henry. Plus more.

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.

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.

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