Comments on: Michelle Obama – the new Elmer Gantry http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/08/21/michelle-obama-the-new-elmer-gantry/ Just another Pajamasmedia.com weblog Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:49:01 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: The Friendly Grizzly http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/08/21/michelle-obama-the-new-elmer-gantry/#comment-89321 The Friendly Grizzly Fri, 24 Aug 2007 01:34:27 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/08/21/michelle-obama-the-new-elmer-gantry/#comment-89321 I don't think this is what Mrs. Obama has in mind, but we DO live in a climate of fear. We bound from cyclamates to alar to the next ice age to global warming to satanic ritual at pre-schools to germ-laden hotel-room coffee makers to aluminum cookware causing Alzheimers. Don't leave out deadly second hand smoke and laser printers that emit fumes that will be the death of us all. We seem to be a society that dwells on the fashionable crisis of the day.

Nothing would be better for the nation, or show such adherence to Constitutional principles, particularly the 22nd Amendment, than a Clinton restoration and a defacto co-presidency. And I do appreciate Barack Obama's fresh approach to Presidential power, devoid of liberal cant, and not handicapped either by the detritus of experience. Of John Edwards, what can I say? The sad state of the nation cries out for a savvy trial lawyer and faux Southern populist in the White House.

It was different with the irreplaceable Howard Dean. He was innovative and intelligent. Let us hope that John Edwards is a qualified candidate and will be elected into the Oval Office.

Speaking of co-presidencies, shouldn't Hillary be disqualified due to term limits? Actually, this kind of sniping between Dems is kinda fun. At least it keeps them from talking about the evils of bottled water. “Barack Obama often says that his wife, Michelle, is smarter than he is, stronger than he is, and gives better speeches than he does.”

The trouble usually occurs when said spouse is trying to make a political point or demonstrate political chops.

Frankly you would be hard pressed to find a woman in this country who isn't smarter than him. I love the first line of the story:
