"SNIP..........................................

The initiative gives Obama a role other first ladies have not had — overseer of her own branded reelection initiative.

Her effort is a testament to both her popularity and the need to energize the president’s supporters. Polls show Michelle Obama remains one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party, while the lackluster economy has dampened enthusiasm for her husband.

In the 2008 campaign, Michelle Obama stirred controversy over a statement on patriotism, and she has drawn more recent criticism regarding her push for Americans to eat a more healthful diet. But today, nearly seven out of 10 Americans have favorable views of her, and the numbers are higher among core Democratic voters.

Michelle Obama has already raised money around the country for her husband’s reelection effort and held rallies in swing states, including Colorado, Florida, Virginia and Nevada.

1. What in the Hell can anybody fault Michelle for? I know the obvious reason, but she has been

as classy as any past First Lady, and more so than about half of them. She and Jill Biden both should be applauded for their efforts in trying to help our veterans. And she's just super cool.

2. I totally agree. They have both been wonderful!
