Michelle Obama...Sarah Palin takes pot shots! 65 percent approval rate!

 

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.

Barack Obama...Secures ticket. Hillary stews in background!

Hello, is anyone listening? I won the popular vote!





The New York Times reported in a news flash just minutes ago that Democratic candidate Barack Obama has leapt over the threshold of the 2,118 delegates needed to be nominated at the party’s convention in Denver in August.

The daily is touting the accomplishment this evening as a "victory" for Mr. Obama, the son of a black Kenyan father and white Kansan mother, who they note, "broke racial barriers and represented a remarkable rise for a man who just four years ago served in the Illinois State Senate."

In an emotional speech to supporters in St. Paul just a short while ago, Mr. Obama thanked the ralliers for choosing "not to listen" to doubts or fears but "to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations."

Confident about the new path he is now embarking on, he noted with hearfelt enthusiasm,

"Tonight, we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another — a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Because of you, tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States."

But, there was one cloud hanging over the celebration.

Not surprisingly, Mrs. Clinton was reluctant to hand over the reigns.

"This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight," Mrs. Clinton told supporters in New York.

She said she would be speaking with party officials about her next move. In fact, I expect she'll be stomping her foot at Democratic headquarters bright and early in the morning demanding that her supporters "do something!"

Tough ti**y, Hillary.

In what was described by the Times as quite a "combative speech", Mrs. Clinton argued up-and-down "she was the stronger candidate" and that "she had won the popular vote", not Obama.

Denial. Denial. Denial.

Spoil sport, if you ask me.

In a bold-faced effort to give the impression she was not being selfish, and that she had the interests of others at heart, the fast-talking Senator used the occasion to twist and distort the facts to make sense of an argument for continuing.

"I want the 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected."

They will be Hillary.

You don't have to steal an election - or make a fool of yourself in the process - to make that happen

It's not their fault you lost, is it?

Obama, the consummate gentleman responded with proper decorum.

"I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton."

Yeah, you've learned how to watch your back, handle yourself in public, and - in spite of your alleged lack of experience - managed to deftly avoid setting off any of the mine fields that old "soldier-boy" keeps exploding on the campaign battleground day-in and day-out.

What a diplomat, that Obama.

Starting tomorrow, I expect the presidential campaign will take on a new twist.

Let the games begin!


No more dashed hopes...
