MAUREEN DOWD: She’s Not Buttering Him Up

[kevinmc]

I just share these .... I don't write them ... :)

WASHINGTON

Usually, I love the dynamics of a cheeky woman puncturing the ego of a cocky guy.

I liked it in ’40s movies, and I liked it with Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel, and Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis in “Moonlighting.”

So why don’t I like it with Michelle and Barack?

I wince a bit when Michelle Obama chides her husband as a mere mortal — a comic routine that rests on the presumption that we see him as a god.

The tweaking takes place at fundraisers, where Michelle wants to lift the veil on their home life a bit and give the folks their money’s worth.

At the big Hollywood fund-raiser for Senator Obama in February, Michelle came on strong. .......

1. Now that she has skewed Obamabi and the breck girl she now is going after the wives?

Sorry but, I absolutely love Michelle. I find her refreshing and funny and warm and intellegent.
And if Dowd is now going after democratic wives, what will she do with Elizabeth Edwards??? That is over the line.
But, I found the thrashing of J. Edwards below the belt and I don't support Edwards.

Who's doing the emasculating Mo?

4. Looks to me like Mo wants to move dear Michelle over ...

Perhaps, to make room for herself? ... heaven knows Maureen would never emasculate any male ... she'd always be loving and supportive and kind ... :rofl:
