Bama Mama or June Cleaver?

Technorati Profile
I must be mistaken, my eyes having deceived me. Was that June Cleaver on stage giving a speech in Denver? You could almost hear Eddie Haskill saying, "My, you look great behind that podium, Mrs. C. !" But it wasn't June, it was Michelle finally uttering those four little words, words Dick Morris calls "magic" in the NY Post today.

Michelle Obama, the educated,articulate woman that she is, delivered a good speech, basically a restatement of her husband's stump speech. She could represent the best of America. Middle-class upbringing to an Ivy League education and now possibly the First Lady.

But Michelle let her true feelings be known earlier this year. Her magic words were political expediency. Just as Barack's selection for veep was.

You can imagine Wally Cleaver asking Ward, "Geez Dad, why don't people say what they mean and stick to it?" Mr. Cleaver clenches his pipe as he thoughtfully contemplates the proper wisdom to enlighten Wally. Before Ward can begin, Beaver chimes in, "Geez, Wally, I always thought when you say one thing and then say just the opposite; well, that's a fib." It's just what the Obama campaign has become.
