You go girl

It's nice to read Rochelle Riley and see her writing again as a Progressive voice in the Free Press--it probably has nothing to do with it, but the disaster that is Gov. Rick Snyder would make just about anyone rethink their leanings.

Her piece on the lack of respect republicans have shown for Michelle Obama (and what a surprise that has been!) could be a primer for the election this November:  Republicans = Neanderthal, Democrats = At Least We're Not That Pathetic.

Apparently there is also a new book called "The Obamas" by Jodi Kantor, a reporter for The New York Times, which claims that Ms. Obama is quite the behind the scenes manipulator in the Obama administration, fighting hard for her husband and having problematic relationships with former Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel and former Press Secretary Joe Gibbs.

Not quite sure what the fuss is--if you ask me, Ms. Obama comes across as a champion of progressive causes, there are zero, zip, none, of those in the Democrats core constituency who do not despise Emmanuel and Gibbs, and the woman has an approval rating of 73%.  "Independents" will see the whole episode as unseemly and a Democratic fart would serve as red meat to republican pinheads.

Or, in the words of Officer Brady:  "Nothing to see here, move along."
