As Woody Allen is credited with observing: 80% of success is just showing up and that was pretty much the message Lady M had for her loyal subjects along the campaign trail yesterday.
There was a little trouble getting them to show up for her big Democratic rally in Detroit though. First of all it was held in a venue of very modest size, the Music Hall (currently under construction) rather than our previous arena-sized event at nearby Ford Field.
Worse yet, as of the day before the rally the The Michigan Democratic Party had to open the event to the public in order to fill up this modest hall. Its almost as if the Democrats arent all that excited about their candidates, or Lady M.

For you fashionistas out there who think youve previously seen the lovely paisley/polka dot frock MO wore yesterday: good spotting!

And yes, we wore it with thigh-high boots again because, why not?
Anyway, everything went well in Detroit aside from that motorcycle accident on I-94 involving Lady Ms motorcade. (Dont worry, the officer was okay.) Things didnt go as smoothly in Iowa, due to Lady M being jet lagged or something. She kept mis-mispronouncing her homies name: Braley, Bailey; no biggie. Its not like its a write-in where spelling matters.
Besides, it wasnt the candidates names that were important, it was her message for the American people:
DETROIT, MI - First Lady Michelle Obama told a Detroit audience Friday "we are better off today than when Barack first took office," as she rallied the crowd in support of Michigan Democrats up for election in November.
Believe me, I think everyone knows that Barack and Michelle are better off today than when Barack first took office, its the rest of us that people seem to be concerned about. I mean, when youre getting mocked by Jimmy Carter, somethings just not right.
So lets evaluate this are you better off issue objectively: now that Ebola has hit our shores (due to porous borders) youve lost the doctor that you liked butt couldnt keep because the insurance plan that you liked butt couldnt keep were both replaced by Obamacare - that you cant afford even though it has a $5000 deductible, $4000 co-insurance and $4000 co-pay because youre one of the 1 in 4 Americans of prime working age who are not employed. Oh, and ISIS is about to retake Baghdad. Shall I mark you down as undecided then?
And remember: 80% of success is just showing up:
And not doing stupid sh*t.

Hey y’all, I’m wondering if she will try to take the classy dress back to the store she bought it from and ask for a refund.
“Of course I never wore it”. “it just doesn’t fit right and I demand a refund”.
“Hey yall, Im wondering if she will try to take the classy dress back to the store she bought it from and ask for a refund.”
A young woman I worked with used to do that all the time——and brag about it. She was not one of my favorite people.
.
But the boots have got to go...
and she has that ugly wart on her left hand..
This of course refers to she and Barack not the stupid plebs and serfs clustered around in the audience and certainly not the average American.
Big Democratic rally in Detroit?.
What did they do pass out free samages?.
