First lady flexes muscles
The Hill ^ | May 24, 2014 | Amie Parnes

Posted on 05/25/2014 10:14:21 AM PDT by yoe

First lady Michelle Obama is more aggressively wading into policy fights while expanding her portfolio.

Six years into the Obama administration, the first lady has gone to bat on issues outside her bailiwick in the East Wing.

[snip] Most notably, earlier this month, she spoke out on the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls......

[snip] She also made a rare foray into Capitol Hill politics earlier this week when House Republicans threatened to rollback the school lunch programs......

[snip] The first lady’s more public role in politics goes beyond Boko Haram and the fight over school lunches.

[snip] the first lady is “deeply concerned about what she’s seeing” with regard to the proposed spending bill and wants to ensure that Republicans on the Hill aren’t “overruling” the work that’s been done for school meals.

The Left quite easily decided that Hillary was Presidential material for just being the First Lady. Despite her vast criminal background.

I know this is a photoshopped composite, but it tells a story.

Anyone remember seeing a headline like this (or even close!) when either of the Bush wives were FL's?

I don't either.

Michelle Obama...the Democrats’ Plan B (in case Hillary is unable to run in 2016).

Our local Sunday paper had a picture today of “the staff” tending her garden - a National Park service employee in full uniform picking weeds. In other words we are paying for her to have a prop garden.
