Mishy is No Hillary

Michelle Obama is not going on Obama's trips to Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, and Europe, it will be reported on Thursday.

She does not plan to deliver policy speeches during the presidential campaign.

Nor would she have a policy role in the Obama administration; she would be raising their daughters.

And she may or may not have a speaking role at the Democratic National Convention, the NEW YORK TIMES will reveal on Thursday, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

NEW YORK TIMES reporter Patrick 'The Biographer' Healy will be first out with the full details.

So, she'll stay home and bake cookies?

or you know, stay with THEIR 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS.

Good for her. I'm somewhat concerned about what impact life in the White House would have on either the Obama lasses or McCain kids. I'm sure as hell wouldn't have wanted that much scrutiny in my life as a kid. Heck, I wouldn't welcome it now.

"I don't remember Barbara Bush getting grief for doing the exact same thing."

Maybe if Mishy tossed on some fake pearls with shoulderpads and assumed a constipated Madonna state of repose she'd get some respect.

seriously. in what universe is mishy a racial slur equivalent to aunt jemima?

going to that race card early and often, huh? that's gonna play well in the general election.

BO tells Glamour Magazine that Mishy was raised like Beaver Cleaver. So why wasn't she proud of America before she met BO?

"Everybody who knows Michelle knows how extraordinary she is. She's ironically the most quintessentially American woman I know. She grew up in a "Leave it to Beaver" family. She is the best mother I know. And our kids are a testimony to that, because she's really had to raise them, oftentimes without me being there. She's the most honest person I know, she's smart, she's funny, so yeah, it infuriates me. And I think that it is an example of the erosion of civility in our political culture that she's been subjected to these attacks, and my attitude is that the people who have attacked her in the ways that they have...if they've got a difference with me on policy, they should debate me. Not her."

Growing up during the second half of the last century as an African American was a more challenging experience than it would have been for most white Americans, even if you weren't raised in the ghetto. You can continue to penalize her for choosing her words poorly after they have been explained at length, but I can understand where she's coming from. America has a lot to be proud of right now.

As long as we're discussing quotes, how about this one:

"I never truly loved my country until I was deprived of her company."

That is a quote of John McCain. Can we infer that he didn't truly love his country for the first thirty or so years of his life? If so, should he have to explain himself for that opinion?

"Seriously. In what universe is "Mishy" a shortened version of "Michelle"?

John and Mishy were getting kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zol and Denny working for a penny
Trying to get a fish on the line
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they passed the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a getting higher in LA
You know where that's at
And no one's getting fat except Mama Cass

John and Mishy were getting kind of itchy

I always wondered who "Mitchy" was...

"Mishy" doesn't rhyme with "itchy."
