All- this is a classic case of corruption and abuse of power that will resonate with average non-political people. BO is nothing new, there is no change, and he is no different than any other politician. Bring this story up at the watercooler at work, with friends at the gym, and with your liberal hippy in-laws the next time you have dinner.
The Obamites I know are scary/blind to any criticism. This ‘job’ is such a quid pro quo...but until the syncophants in the media (or Butt-Boys as Rush calls them) start actually reporting (as opposed to dreamily star-gazing) the great, unwashed masses won’t get ‘it.’ If you look at the cover of any rag that most American women (or womyn) read, well you wouldn’t know any of this...just that Mrs. Obama works out daily, has great ‘toned’ arms, and is bringing back the ‘sleeveless’ look ala Jackie Kennedy.
