7. This is a good video.
I'm surprised there aren't more comments.

10. This one?
"Adds that his objective has been to ensure special interests “are not yanking my chain.”

11. I admit that visual is still richoting around in my head...
Retooled...having his chain yanked...

that is just too much visual all at once. Maybe a little tool and then some chain later.

I don't know.

Karl Rove is already talking about the cool guy with the beautiful girl, Michelle probably doesn't need any more focus along those lines. I can imagine how sexually repressed Republicans (not so much in private it seems) might be able to get when vocalizing about Michelle's charms.

It is one stereotype about black people I'd love if we can skip this election season. I don't want a sexy First Lady.

14. Michelle is great
I really like her, and I am glad to hear that they don't intend to muck up her presence and reality. By now she's getting some political legs, just from experience, but early on she was the most unfiltered and un-consultantized person I've ever seen in a major political role. Like a person, with a job and some kids and a ton of talent and intelligence, suddenly in the spotlight. Her directness and lack of crapola, while standing in such a position, made me proud of my country.
She's an impressive and no nonsense person, and her speeches and statements spoke to me, even as they pissed off the right wing. She's aces in my book.
