This Woman’s Job Is to Recast Hillary Clinton’s Image
nyslimes ^ | April 3, 2015 | AMY CHOZICK

To get a brief reprieve from the pressures of working in the White House, Kristina Schake, a former aide to the first lady, Michelle Obama, took a class about her favorite painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

She noticed that the Italian painter often showed Christ with bare feet, portraying his subject as a common man.

It was a lesson that informed Ms. Schake’s job in the East Wing when, as Mrs. Obama’s communications chief, she encouraged the first lady to take an undercover shopping trip to a Target in suburban Alexandria, Va., to showcase her dance moves on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and to make a cameo at the Oscars.

Positioning a public figure is not exactly the work of a Baroque master, and a trip to Target does not a work of-art make. Nevertheless, the lesson from Caravaggio was clear in Ms. Schake’s approach.

Having helped shape Mrs. Obama’s public image into that of an accessible everywoman, Ms. Schake is about to face what may be her toughest challenge yet: working to get another first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton, elected president.

She is the one on the right. Her sister on the left is the Republican. Kristina has her work cut out for her with Satan's Daughter. Maybe the Hillary makeover begins with a divorce and apologizing to all the women she and her husband have harmed. If she ever appears next to Hillary, it will really be a stark contrast and make people pay more attention to how retched Hillary really is.

Is this the same target Moochell was greeted with racism?

So it was a total set up?

I’m shocked...shocked I say.

A quickrete facial with rebar chaser might help her visual appearance some.

Oh.....Kristina looks kind of goofy now. Good grief what enough makeup can do. Except for Hillary.

“Ms. Schake is best known for finding ways to communicate with Americans outside the coastal elite” .... whatever that is suppose to mean.

... “Ms. Schake’s value will be to figure out new ways to spread the former Secretary of State’s central message... of lifting the middle class”...

Well that’s easy enough...don’t run!

Kristina is the one who set this photo opt up so Michelle the public could connect with Michelle as an ordinary person....Michelle didn't look very happy doing so either!
