Michelle Obama shifts into 2012 campaign mode
The Politico ^ | 17 Oct 2011 | Julie Mason

Posted on 10/19/2011 5:42:40 AM PDT by Rummyfan

First lady Michelle Obama has gold-plated her appeal, in part, by playing it safe, focusing on signature issues and family while staying out of the partisan politics so deeply loathed by many Americans

Her value as the most popular member of the Obama administration is inevitably sending her back into the field, raising money and delivering speeches for a 2012 reelection effort that increasingly needs some happier news.

...

Humanizing the president is a traditional and nearly inevitable role for the first lady at campaign time, which tends to roll around after the shine has come off a president and supporters need a refresher on his likability.

It’s my personal side that makes the strongest impression on the trail

Her husband is doing the same thing. He's campaigning on the tax payers dime while he pockets all the campaign cash he can rake in. By election time, these two scrounges should have quite the bag full.

These freeloaders will also use the dumbass protesting freeloaders to FORCE people to donate - or else! (Extortion is a community organizers greatest skill.)

Anyone who votes for this loser again is a suicidal idiot.

“I think she has had some cosmetic work done...”

Doesn’t matter how much cosmetic work she has done, she will always be an ugly, nasty, loathsome, grifting POS. Lord, I truly despise her and Barry.

How true, and what kind of politician needs to remind voters of his likeability?

Yes; they seem to have filed her australopithecus teeth down a bit.

She is about to become the Secretary of Loot.

Don’t you wish her “hate Whitey” tape from Jeremiah Wright’s church hadn’t been flushed pre ‘08 election? That woulda led to the road to nowhere for the Usurpers.
Add to your apt description: bitter, hateful, racist rageaholic.

VFW Call to Action

Stop Balancing Budget on Backs of Military and Veterans
http://vfw.org/News-and-Events/Articles/VFW-Call-to-Action/

The individual letters signed by Levin and McCain were far more ominous, because they both agreed with proposals President Obama announced last month to create a commission to examine the current military retirement system, and to alter military TRICARE benefits for those retirees age 65 and older. The president also wants to increase pharmacy copayments for military dependents and retirees of all ages, but both senators suggested the proposal needs further DOD review. THIS HAS ALREADY GONE INTO EFFECT on Oct 1, 2011

Regarding the military retirement system, Levin wrote the commission should expand its scope to “encompass all aspects of military compensation, including the current system of basic pay, allowances (including the housing allowance), special and incentive pays, and health care, as well as the tax treatment of the various components of military pay.” Levin also agreed with the president’s proposal to institute a $200 annual fee for military retirees age 65 and older who are enrolled in TRICARE for Life, but he would link future fee increases to the percentage amount of a retiree’s annual cost of living adjustment. The president’s proposal has no such linkage, and if approved as is, TRICARE for Life fees would rise from the recommended $200 in 2012 to $295 in 2013. This would be in addition to Medicare Part B payments they must already pay.

Maggie, it’s so funny you always send the pic of Stacey & Clinton from ‘What Not to Wear.’

I have 50 of their shows recorded on Tivo. That’s how I escape from politics at night...

I literally cannot stand to see the face of obama or his wife on tv.

That pic is so embarrassing for michelle obama. She broke so many ‘What not to Wear’ rules. YIKES!

I’m sure Stacey & Clinton like the obamas, but I hope they don’t say so. Then I’ll have to delete the 50 shows I recorded...:)
