Michelle Obama's "Makeover"
It's like '92 all over again, it appears, with the Democratic presidential campaign giving a "subtle" makeover to the "outspoken" wife of the candidate. It shows you how far we've come, right? (If things follow the same way, Michelle Obama may eventually run for president -- and lose, amid sexism in the campaign). The Obama campaign has started a rapid response team to counter the lies and attacks against her, but Michelle also spoke up about it all in today's New York Times:
“You are amazed sometimes at how deep the lies can be,” she says in an interview. Referring to a character in a 1970s sitcom, she adds: “I mean, ‘whitey’? That’s something that George Jefferson would say. Anyone who says that doesn’t know me. They don’t know the life I’ve lived. They don’t know anything about me.”So, the makeover is rolling out today: Look for Michelle guest co-hosting The View today .
