IF MICHELLE Obama isn't careful, she could get the Hillary Clinton treatment, circa 1992.
The spouse of then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton was featured in a "Nightline" segment that began with these words from host Ted Koppel: "Meet the new political wife. She has a career, she has opinions. A partner in every way. . . . And now, she's become controversial."
Right now, Barack Obama's wife is as much a media favorite as her husband, the presidential candidate. Her predebate advice to Obama - "Feel, don't think" - is portrayed as political genius. A Newsweek cover story describes a smart, well-grounded woman, with an inspirational life story who is "neither Stepford booster nor surrogate campaign manager. " Her independence and outspokenness are viewed as virtues, at least for now.
That could change, as Republicans search for any antidote to Obama fever.
The GOP typically attacks Democrats for their alleged lack of patriotism; Michelle Obama handed them an early opportunity with this snippet from the campaign trail: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country."
Conservative critics were quick to take advantage.

Someone needs to post The Picture on this thread. Most of you know the one I mean. Wearing red, IIRC.
THAT’S the one. Thanks.
Meanwhile back at the rallies...
Barack is screaming "DRINK, DON'T THINK!"
I hope the McCain Campaign is paying attention. If they’re not to wussy and politically correct to “fight” to win this thing.
What a great campaign ploy. A pitcher of Kool Aid with the slogan:
“Drink; don’t think. Vote Obama”.
Never happen.
Hmmmmm....am I missing something here? Whassup with the picture?
I work in a UAW shop in Michigan, most dems I know are extreme facists.
I think that, along with the “first time I’ve been proud” comment, pretty well tells the story, if you have any ability at all to read between the lines.

Oh YES! That's just what we want in the leader of the world's only hyper power. Someone who "feels" and acts "emotionally", NOT RATIONALLY!!!
The dim approach to every problem.
Needs a “barf alert”.
And being served by Rev. Jim Jones, no less. It is chilling.
Use the Force, LukeBarack. Let go, LukeBarack.
Remember, the Force will be with you. Always.
The Force is strong with this one.
Do not underestimate the power of the force.
Michelle Obama hasn’t said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privileged of the elite in this country.
I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her. She is the loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal fascism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to hide. Barack Obama is more practiced at keeping the mask up. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way. She was probably SHOCKED at the firestorm that has ensued.
