Michelle's wave of popularity
Michelle Obama enthusiastically hit the campaign trail this past week - and for the most part - was warmly-received by voters around the country whenever she touched-down to offer up a pep talk.
A poll - which established the gracious 1st Lady’s approval rate was up to an all-time high of sixty-five percent - inspired curious quips from media hounds on the sidelines.
“She’s a rock star,” one upbeat reporter joked on the nightly news.
Political analysts noted that Mrs. Obama’s was in an enviable position.
“Because she is not running for an office, Michelle doesn’t have to attack the opposition. Unlike candidates stumping for votes, she can rise above the fray in a dignified manner.”
That has not deterred one political opponent from bad-mouthing the 1st Lady, though.
At a rally just yesterday, former VP hopeful - Sarah Palin - was inclined to take a poke at Barack’s better half.
The folksy tea party politico revisited a touchy subject which ended up triggering a negative response from the audience.
Uh-huh.
Palin’s lament over Mrs. Obama’s previous remarks about being proud to be an “American” for the first time - which caused an uproar on the campaign trail last year - fell on deaf ears on this occasion.
Although voters forgave and moved on, Palin’s attempt to breathe life into a dead issue - flog a dead horse - didn’t bode well for her.
Boos from the audience underscored that Palin's attacks were not appreciated by many at the rally.
In fact - in a recent poll - fifty-six percent of the voters said they would not vote for any candidate that was being endorsed by Sarah Palin.
Ouch!
Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama continues to soar above Palin in popularity, for obvious reasons.
You can’t buy “class”, Sarah.
You either have it or ‘ya don’t.
By the way, Michelle Obama made by Best-dressed list this past year.
