Here is a video report about First Lady Michelle Obama embarking on a "listening tour" of Federal Agencies, like the Department of Education, and Housing and Urban Development. It would seem this First Lady wants to be more of a "Senior Presidential Adviser," or even a "co-President."
I know virtually every First Lady is a "presidential adviser" of sorts, with great influence on the President. But Michelle Obama is being very out front in a policy way, and is going to open herself up to being treated like Presidential Advisers get treated when it comes to scrutiny. This approach would seem to suggest she has some political aspirations of her own down the road. She and Hillary may have a lot in common, after all. . . . . . (Watch Video)

The Clintonistas were big on “listening tours.” They “listen” and then just do whatever the hell they want.
It was wrong when Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Clinton did it, and it’s wrong now. The president’s wife is not an appointed or elected official, as a matter of fact, she’s not any kind of office-holder. President Obama’s family is no longer off-limits, as far as I’m concerned.
Let’s call her Michelle Rodham Obama..........
Michelle Obama clearly fancies herself a co-president. But when this ‘official” activity starts getting the scrutiny that other politicos would get, she will get violently indignant and demand that the lapdog media stop doing that. That’s when we will see Michelle Obama for what she is: A standard-issue Chicago street bitch in a $800 dress.
Who is going to tell her NO.
Obambi is afraid of her nasty mouth so she gets to do whatever she wants.
next up- suggestions she receive a salary for her work
Oh, about $300K should do
From her work history as has been reported, it does not seem “listening” is the angry imperious entitled Michelle’s strong suit
Why is she on this listening tour?
I think if I were one of the Federal employees I’d be highly offended that someone not elected or appointed to any position has the audacity to come and hold an official meeting in my agency.
