No vacation from attacks on Michelle By: Kendra Marr and Amie Parnes August 16, 2010 02:37 PM EDT
It’s been a long time since Michelle Obama has been attacked like this.
The first lady’s lavish Spanish vacation was the lead story in the Drudge Report for days. Political columnists and commentators lampooned her as a 21st-century Marie Antoinette, unwinding at a luxury resort while unemployment lingers near 10 percent and President Barack Obama’s poll numbers fade. And headlines set off political sirens: Scandal! Tone deaf! Elitist!
The attacks from right-wing commentators — and a handful of left-leaning pundits — produced the first harsh critiques against the first lady since the heated days of the 2008 presidential campaign when she told an audience that America had finally improved: “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”
The outrage from conservatives could foreshadow how Republicans might treat the first lady when she sets out to stump for Democrats during midterm elections. When Obama returns to the campaign trail, it could expose her to attacks by Republicans and jeopardize her new, more polished image as a modern woman balancing a career, children and marriage to the leader of the free world.
Yet at the same time, the GOP must walk a fine line in dealings with Obama, whose popularity rating is at 50 percent and whom many working women admire. It’s a risky move, Republican strategists say, to resurrect the fist-bumping, militant caricature of Michelle Obama that at times overshadowed her husband’s presidential race campaign.

Hmmmm, more advise from the left on what Republicans should do. I smell fear.
“.....whose popularity rating is at 50 percent...”
By who’s polling #’s?
The Obama’s despise America-it’s the only explanation that makes any sense.
WHO, but some Oprah watchers would ever admire Michelle??? She’s a loathsome being.
Perhaps this writer has forgotton about Obama’s plea to Americans to make sacrifices?
I was gonna buy ice cream today. But common sense tells me that I would soon be a big fat Godzilla like Michelle.
“It’s all on how they deploy her,” he said.
“Deploy her?” (The S.S. Michelle)
Why does that make me laugh?
For what??
Michelle Obama was on the board of a Chicago hospital, when OB was a senator. He pork barrelled millions to the hospital in a bill rider. She got nearly a 200% pay raise. She’s just as big of a crook as everyone else.
And I remember the love letters and sonnets written by the left about Nancy Reagan, Barbara & Laura Bush too.
Yes flop sweat appearing in a lot of these articles.
The Obammys sure eat alot of ice cream for a family that lectures to us about eating healthy and watching our weight.
I think the writer was referring to Mooch-elle’s popularity ratings, not Zero’s. Her popularity rating was 64%, but went down to 50% after her lavish vacation in Spain. The poll was conducted by Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
For her use of wide belts! /s
The very kind of a deal for which the hapless Blago was indicted, but our AA babies walk.
Laugh attack! Vacation Gal photoshop thread.
