Democrats Urge Michelle Obama to Hit the Trail
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 21, 2014 | Colleen McCain Nelson

As the midterm campaigns heat up, Democratic candidates are turning to the White House for help and an injection of star power. But it is the first lady, not President Barack Obama, —who in some places is emerging as the more sought-after campaigner.

Some Democrats contend that Mr. Obama's sagging popularity limits where he would be helpful this election cycle. Bringing higher approval ratings and a less-partisan pitch, Michelle Obama already has hit the trail, appearing earlier this month in Georgia with Senate candidate Michelle Nunn. Next month, the first lady's campaign travel will include a visit to Iowa, where Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley is battling Republican Joni Ernst for an open Senate seat.

I wish she would hit the trail as well. To anywhere outside the US. And stay there.

Hey. Here’s something both Republicans and, apparently, some crazy Democrats can support — put Queen Michelle Antoinette on the campaign trail. She can tell us whether or not she is still ashamed of the country, and whether she has been gypped recently.

They should have her talk more about her agenda to control everybody’s dietary habits (as she stuffs her big mouth with fries).

She could tell us about their many vacations...where they went, who accompanied them, how much it cost.

More Americans need to hear about her sad story and hard life in the White House, as she commiserated with the pediatric cancer patients and their families at St Jude’s

If Michelle hits the trail, her ample bottom will cushion the fall.

PLEASE send this woman out there. She exists behind a micron thin veneer created by her army of handlers. Get her out of her protective bubble and this woman’s true nature will come out. Notice she isn’t wearing the trashy boob belt clothes anymore? Notice she doesn’t go out in public anymore? She doesn’t go on any shows without scripted and teleprompter speeches? Send this nasty controlling cow out for the world to see and that veneer will slip right off.

Michelle has put conditions on her Democrat appearances: the F/L will headline only $10,000 a plate Democrat fund-raisers, and only if they serve her favorite foods:

<><> Julienned kale on brick-oven baked rice crackers.

<><> Herb-dusted jicama chips, carrot strips and broccoli buds w/ whipped tofu eggplant dip.

<><> Unfiltered fiber-rich grape juice made w/ unsprayed fruit.

<><> Flambéed flaxmeal fiber bars sweetened w/ raisins dried on volcanic soil.

Democrats are facing a daunting task---b/c DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has made some huge boo-boos. Long-simmering doubts about D/W/S reached a peak after she criticized the White House’s handling of the border crisis.

HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE: disgruntled Dummycrats say these were the crack-brained ideas of D/W/S:

(1) D/W/S advised Mexico President to go to California and declare it "another Mexico." (RESULT: a tsunami of 2014 voter polls indicate massive voter revulsion for Democrats);

(2) D/W/S advised Obama to meet w/ Third World leaders; (RESULT: villages emptied--contagion, vermin and disease infect the USA);

(3) D/W/S advised Obama to put out the global welcome mat. (RESULT: slit-eyes jidahists from 144 countries pour over the border);

(4) D/W/S advised Obama to delay E/O amnesty to help nervous Democrats in tight Senate races. (RESULT: Obama's Numero Uno on Mexican drug cartel hit list).

The media loves telling us how popular and dynamic Michelle is, even if nobody ever produces any evidence of such.

They also love to call her the new Jackie O because they're so alike in the ability to be style leaders and wear top designers with panache.

For the following experiment, I put Jackie O in a couple of outfits worn by Michelle. I don't think they work for her.

Michelle Obama Furious As Doctors Leak Details Of Lipo Surgery

Sep 19, 2014

Michelle Obama likes to keep as much of her personal life as private as possible. When doctors revealed information about a liposuction, she was just a little pissed. She is someone who has been trying to get people all across the country to eat healthy and get in shape. Her thoughts on obesity are not hidden. Several schools in the country now have students who are unhappy with the choices on the lunch menu and the options for fundraisers. Now, Michelle has to explain why she had liposuction when she couldn’t lose some extra weight with exercise.

Some people feel like if she has to have surgery to remove fat or she doesn’t have to get up and exercise like she’s telling everyone else, then why do they have to suffer as well? There are friends who suggest that maybe she is a plastic surgery hypocrite as well because she is against procedures that alter the appearance. This went out the window when the revelation about her liposuction occurred. Michelle defended herself by saying that women have the freedom to do what they feel is necessary to feel good about their bodies. Michelle Obama might want to rethink some of her views of obesity since she needed surgery to take off the weight. This is something that many will likely follow to see if things change in schools that have new menus.
