WASHINGTON — First Lady Michelle Obama is staging picture-perfect photo ops on her tour of China — but back home, her East Wing office is fraught with tension and anxiety, according to a new insider account.
Her office “can be a confining, frustrating, even miserable place to work,” writes former White House press assistant Reid Cherlin in an article in The New Republic.
“Jealousy and discontentment have festered, as courtiers squabble over the allocation of responsibility and access to Mrs. Obama, both of which can be aggravatingly scarce,” he continues.
Michelle Obama has a strong approval rating (69 percent in a February Gallup poll), is a fundraising asset, and has generated considerable publicity for her pet causes, which include healthy eating and exercise, and finding jobs for returning vets.
But Cherlin, who also worked on Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, describes a strong measure of discord behind the feel-good initiatives. He compares the rollout of her “Drink Up” initiative encouraging people to imbibe more water to an episode of the TV show “Veep” for its hiccups.

As long as Michelle is happy, that is what what matters. It is all about her. < \cult>
really. 2 words. Yoga. Pants. that is all.
Staged photo op, IMHO. She probably “participated” in the class just long enough for the photographer to take 3 or 4 posed shots to ensure that they had a good one for publication
Big MO’s “office” problem is easily solved: fire 98% of the political sycophants whose sole function is wasting taxpayers’ and lenders’ money. Keep one career staffer to book MO’s Tai Chi lessons and lavish vacations, and another to teach her how to dress inexpensively but look like a million bucks, instead of spending a fortune to look cheap.
now in honor of our guest, everyone take the raging cow pose.
excellent Ms. Obama, your a natural

That is obviously pure b.s. and I have a hard time believing that she in any way cares for Vets.
Imagine if Nancy Reagan had done this?

The bucklong calculation is pretty simple. If those heals were .362 inches taller she would still be a classless freeloading controlling mooch.
Too big to fail?
2 left feet and f’in ugly shoes.
I think that’s from Erin Brockovitch (sp)?
Her approval rating is really a “who cares” rating, I think, from the general public.
Though true leftists ADORE her. “I was on the set of [insert TV show here] when MICHELLE OBAMA came in!! I was five feet from her!!” I’ve still heard BS like that. Of course I felt that way about Reagan myself.
In general, First Ladies, no matter how idiotic or apolitical, get a decent amount of respect like we at FR try to give those innocent presidential children.
Caption Mooch: “Oh yeah Barry, I be all like learnin’ dis chop suey jazz an ima gonna use it to whomp your scrawny muzzy can whin eyes gets back home....Reggies azz to foo”.
