CNN, now: Anderson Cooper doing a story on Michelle Obama, panel coming up

[highplainsdem]

The story was about her image.

[highplainsdem]

1. Roland Martin comparing the GOP's reaction to Michelle to their reaction to Hillary in 1992.

[highplainsdem]

2. Hillary Rosen saying Michelle's been an advocate so far, but like many politicians' spouses will

probably have to "fade back into" a supportive role.

3. Oh oh.

Hit piece on scary Black woman. :scared:

IMHO her image is fine. But then I don't find outspoken Black women scary.

4. Anderson Cooper is the greatest journalist of our age.

No one comes close.

8. Can you extrapolate that statement?

Thanks.

10. You're subtle but, um, yeah, okay...

:rofl:

12. if you ever meet him refer to him as the guy who hosted "the mole"

he is embarrassed by that.

5. I missed it

Can you summarize?

[highplainsdem]

6. It wasn't a hit piece. I missed part of the initial story, before the panel (I'd been

channel-surfing). From what I heard it was a fairly balanced and complimentary discussion of Michelle's image and background, and they were doing the story because of the new consultant.

The panel discussion was diappointingly brief. I wouldn't have posted about it if I'd had any idea it would last only a couple of minutes.

9. Cool - Thanks n/t

7. They mentioned this NY Times story, which I just found the link for:

11. this is offensive

they are acting like there is something wrong with her because she doesn't stand silently in the back with a frozen joker like smile plastered to her face.
