EXCERPT
“I think she’s happy to go out and support folks who have stood up for things that she thinks are important,” said David Axelrod, Mr. Obama’s senior adviser. “But I don’t think she’s eager to jump into the fray in a very political way, and I don’t think she will.”
With her husband’s poll numbers sliding, and many Democrats distancing themselves from him, Mrs. Obama, political analysts say, is the White House’s best hope for exciting the party’s lethargic base.
“Her favorability is the highest of anybody we’ve got on the Democratic side right now,” said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster, adding, “The risk is that she becomes controversial and polarizing, which she is not right now.”
And as Mrs. Obama discovered in Spain, she is not immune to criticism. Aides say privately that they warned her there would be a cost to the trip, but she overruled them, insisting it was a rare chance to spend time with Sasha and with a friend whose father had died. But the intensity of the uproar — including accusations that she was a “modern-day Marie Antoinette” — caught the White House and Mrs. Obama off guard.

“Her favorability is the highest of anybody we’ve got on the Democratic side right now,”
Lol. That ain’t sayin’ much.
” she remains marginally more popular than her husband, whose personal approval rating was at 46 percent in the Journal poll” (today’s Washington Examiner)
Wanna bet? The Pain in Spain is far more polarizing than they'll ever admit...
But it is telling that they admit she's the highest in favorability of "anybody" they got among Democrats right now.
So the Dems cant depend on their leaders to get the base excited, so they send a person that spent most of the past few months taking a million dollar vacation/shopping spree?
The Royal Caboose also does a pretty good job of exciting us non-Dems

If she is the best they’ve got, they are in a heap of trouble.
Maybe they should push the daughters, most Americans dont have anything against them, after all they didnt pick their parents.
Wow... If Michelle is the most favorable they are in far more serious trouble than they imagine.

Didn’t know MO had a backup outfit for her oil leak appearances. Moo.
The NYT dutifully repeats the lie that the Spain trip was to comfort the friend in supposed mourning. All those other fellow travelers, so to speak, and the star studded event at the same place that Moochelle likely had intended to attend are conveniently not mentioned.
Mizz Idaho fo sho.
Get on out there Mooseshelle make a bigger a$$ of yourself.
Caught off guard by the criticism of the Spain trip - because the magnetic strip on the race card did not work in this case...hmmm, must be expired.
