Why Is First Lady Scarce in Campaign? Her Last Name Is Obama
The New York Times ^ | October 3, 2014 | Jackie Calmes

MILWAUKEE — She can rouse a crowd as she did here this week, connect with women and drive turnout among African-American voters. Yet despite the nail-biting closeness of state contests to decide which party will control the Senate, Michelle Obama has been largely absent from the campaign trail so far.

She has her reasons, Democrats say: Mrs. Obama hates to be away from her daughters. She loathes Washington’s toxic politics. She resents Republicans for their opposition to her husband’s agenda. But she also believes some Senate Democrats have been insufficiently supportive of her own efforts to end childhood obesity.

This month, though, Mrs. Obama is emerging to rally voters, mostly, it seems, on behalf of candidates for governor. On Friday, she was in Maine and Massachusetts for rallies, and later she will return to Wisconsin for another voter-mobilization event like the one she led here on Monday....

Pardon me. The correct spelling of that name is “Obola”.

She will be enthusiastic because she knows she only has to be a beard for two more years.

She resents Republicans for their opposition to her husband’s agenda.

Maybe the Republicans are doing more to combat Obama that we realize.

Sorta like that Star Trek episode called "The Menagerie," where Pike points his phaser at the rock wall and thinks he hasn't done anything, however when he forces those beings to show him what he had done they show him that he had actually blew a hole clean through the rock.

Maybe the Republicans are doing more damage than BO and Moochie will ever let on.

Mrs. Obola should come on down to Texas and hit the campaign trail with Dumbass Davis. Should be a real vote getter, um yup.

Because she is leading from behind.

To be a legitimate First Lady, she would have to be married to a legitimate president. All we have now is Obama, so I consider the First Lady position to be vacant.

Maybe she saw the real reports on Ebola out in the wild here in the US.
She certainly knows all of these alphabet agencies lie on their assessments.

It's all too true....

On the anniversary of 9/11 the Mooch visited KABOOM ....an "non profit" organization that provides toys and playground equipment to schools nation wide.

Sep 11, 2014 - Not to state the obvious, but as KaBOOM! is a word used to ... left the KaBOOM! logo out of its feelgood description of the Obamas' visit the school. ... first lady Michelle Obama arrived at the school via motorcade to lend a hand.

I’ve long suspected that the salespeople in the tony shops Michelle frequents compete to see who can sell her the ugliest, most outlandish outfit. She is a true fashion victim and she probably thinks she looks great.
