And Barry wears the pants in his marriage to Michelle?

[ClearCase_guy]

They just never seem to run out of ways to attack her, do they?

[autumnraine]

So if Hillary can claim her time as a First Lady as political experience, whats the dang problem?

[dr_who]

Well well. Let’s see if this one works! Maybe this will be the CNN headline that gets them banned from airports. There’s nothing more annoying than CNN headlice news and ads from Ditech.com.

[Gaffer]

Oh, you mean like the Presidency of a would-be winner Hillary Clinton?

[basil]

Looks to me like we can get another 2 for 1 presidency. In this instance, that might not be all bad—LOL!

[mmichaels1970]

Some call him the "Shadow Governor."

This is how CNN can mask mere speculation as news. The old "some call him", or "some have said" routine. "Some have said that so and so eats baby seals for dinner...."

[A_Former_Democrat]

Nope. Just continuing evidence of her effectiveness.

[MMcC]

Michelle Obama... ‘Shadow Senator’???

[Gaffer]

If I were an airport manager, my first action would be to rip out these CNN monitors by their evil slimy umbilicals........Let’s just call it a ‘partial birth abortion’ of the journalistic kind.

First Trig, then Bristol, then Sarah, now Todd.

I know the Libs hate big families, but they give them so many more shots at the target. Good grief. Watch out Piper!

[mmichaels1970]

Could he be the "White Shadow Governor"?

[dr_who]

What was it that qualified Hillary Clinton to be “co-president” back then anyway?

[BossLady]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..........SOME ARE SAYING Piper is the official ‘go-between’ for Sarah and Trig!!!!

[stop_fascism]

Wasn’t Hills the “Co-president”? Didn’t they say, “Buy one, get one free”?

I saw Todd on the Greta Van Susteren show. He’s just as charming as Sarah. I hope he has a high profile in the McCain administration.

He’s been working 1 and 1’s on the North Slope for the last 20 years. When Sarah became governor, he quit his management job and went back to a union job to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. Can you imagine a Dem spouse doing that?

[rrrod]

CNN says it then it must be true.../s

[stop_fascism]

Piper is notoriously weak on policy.

[zimfam007]

These effing self-licking ice cream cone media elitists are digging themselves deeper and deeper into oblivion! Grasping at anything they possibly can to try and bring the number 2 down on the Repub ticket all the while letting old numero uno Barry get off scott free.... trying to take as much attention off of the eff-ups on Capitol Hill that got this economy into the mess that it is in.... doesn't it REALLY make you wonder why these dirtbags would rather try to conger up some rat-infested lies instead of reporting on Shummer or Dodd or Frank or Pelosi... exposing those people for the frauds that they are... exposing them for the financial mess that they have wrecked on this nation......

Some call Todd the Shadow Governor. Some call CNN the Communist News Network. I’m okay with this new arrangement if that’s the way it’s going to be.

[pgkdan]

He's worked in Alaska's oil industry and as a fisherman. But in recent times, he's had another role. Some call him the "Shadow Governor."

I hate saying this but this is really a sexist accusation. When's the last time someone accused a Goveror's wife of being the 'shadow Governor'?
