"Michelle Obama is asked to stump for Democrats
WASHINGTON — The White House’s efforts to hold on to a majority in Congress have expanded from the West Wing to the East Wing, where political operatives are calling on Michelle Obama to campaign for endangered Democrats.
Then WTF?
"Michelle Obama’s role has emerged as a source of tension between some Democrats and the White House. Party leaders believe that she could be of critical help in reaching some women.... a significant turnaround from some of the more heated days of the 2008 campaign when Michelle Obama was widely viewed as a political liability.... Yet the White House has not granted any requests for Michelle Obama to campaign for Democrats or decided whether she will have any role in the midterm elections"
Unlike her husband, Mrs. Obama has maintained her appeal to women, independents, and the new and young voters who helped propel her family into the White House. She has won praise for the issues she has chosen to champion, such as curbing childhood obesity. She has become something of a cultural and fashion icon, drawing a different kind of attention to the White House.
And NOT in a GOOD WAY as the AGENDA-PUSHING MSM is suggesting!

Let us eat cake, right?No wait, that would make us obese; maybe we should just try a dirt cookie.
And with an approval rating of 66 percent, she is easily the administration’s most popular figure.
You better do a new poll because that's on its way down as fast as a WTC tower on 9/11.
Yet sending the president’s wife onto the trail is not a risk-free strategy. She seems to have little margin for error, as her every move is dissected and scrutinized. Her recent vacation to Spain with daughter Sasha, for instance, was criticized by many on the left and the right for being overly extravagant.
That means Americans DID NOT LIKE the flaunt-it-in-your-face PROFLIGACY as they suffer!
That level of attention will only increase in the run-up to the November elections, raising Democrats’ fears that she could say or do something that critics will seize on and that will overtake the party’s message....
A return to campaigning will also be a test of Obama’s popularity, as she puts her considerable and carefully crafted personal capital on the line. If she’s seen as overly partisan, she could dampen support for her platform and perhaps erode the good will needed to boost her husband in 2012.
Nevertheless, senior White House aides have concluded that they have little choice but to deploy Mrs. Obama, and over the past several weeks they have begun to discuss having her campaign in close races, particularly involving female candidates.
As if it were a WAR!
“Michelle Obama is the most popular figure out there right now, with a great profile as a strong woman who cares about her family, children, and the country,’’ said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster and strategist.
In that order, Americans.
You see where you are on the list.
