Bye Bye Michelle

posted in General |

I was amused last week to listen and read about news that Michelle Obama has been assigned to a different role in the Obama campaign.  She will no longer address policy matters and will be involved as a back-up player. While announcing the change, the Obama handlers stressed her great talents and the critically important role she will continue to play as the campaign heads for the White House. But it occurred to me that there was more to the change than that.  –  i.e., if she is so talented and valuable, why make the change to a secondary role?

Just ask yourself a couple of questions. If she is such an asset to the campaign, why wouldn’t she be out in front with all vocal guns blazing?? On the other hand, if her tendency to get foot-in- mouth disease is looked upon as a negative, wouldn’t she be better located on the back burner?

Easy choice  –  she is now on the back burner.  The Obama handlers made a good decision. To many folks she comes across as a black lady with a chip on her shoulder
