Halperin-Heilemann: Rand's Wife Kelley Good, But No Michelle Obama
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/07/2015 5:54:09 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Let's be clear: on today's With All Due Respect, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann were very complimentary about Kelley Paul's performance today in introducing her husband Rand at his presidential announcement speech. They described her as a big asset and anticipate seeing a lot more of her on the campaign trail.

That said, the duo said something that boggled my mind, claiming that as good as she was, Kelley was "not at Michelle Obama's level." Back in April, 2008, a full year later in the campaign cycle, this NewsBuster wrote about Michelle's shockingly angry performance on the stump [view the item and above all the video here], and asked if the MSM would report it. Of course they didn't. As I recall, Michelle was "disappeared" from big public appearances for some time after that fiasco. IMHO Kelley is light years ahead of Michelle at this stage. -

Are you kidding me? Halperin/Heilemann claim Kelley Paul not on Michelle O’s level on the stump. Ping to Today show list.

I’m not going to vote for Rand, but trashing his wife seems a stupid thing to do at this stage of the game.

Michelle set the bar so low even a postage stamp couldn’t get under the limbo bar.

So, in other words, she's been proud of her country before this moment?

i’m not voting for him either-he’s just an appetizer in this race.

he wants to “defeat”

He should have stated “dismantle”

but then again that would have never occured to him

because his spine is too soft

I’m not sure about his spine, but he’s too light in the loafers for me. He’s just not sharp enough.

Hey, you may have a good reason to make the spine statement, so don’t think I disagree in total here. I agree with your other comments.

To be clear, they did not trash her in any way and to the contrary were very complimentary, which made their assertion that she was not at Michelle Obama’s level that much more mind boggling.

Maybe these two just like big a***d women, and none of the GOP wives can compete with the First Caboose.

Maybe they mean she’s never been able to command $300,000/yr for a no-show job.

Truth be told, this wasn’t her idea. She was invisible and some Leftist thought: “Ya know, if we could get her to attack healthy eating for children, who could object?” And if done right, this idiot would have been right.

Sadly, Michelle Obama stepped up and made this her cause. In so doing she was so enamored with the idea, she went gung-ho and overplayed her hand.

Now they’re throwing food away at school cafeterias. She looks like your typical Leftist know it all, too stupid to get out of her own way.

She hasn’t been well served by this, and she really has no idea what a fool she has become.

Thank you for mentioning that. Your comments were accurate.

It would be interesting to know what these two said of Michelle early on. I’ll bet they made no comparative comments noting her less than stellar stature early on to anyone better.

They are trying to couch their comments here. I do think it was a lot less objectionable than the title implied, but seriously, do they honestly think Michelle is a powerhouse?

These guys must have never hung out with any Conservative. Michelle is an awkward boring person IMO.

Kelley’s all class. Michelle wears VW interiors as clothes.
