Same thing happened to Huckabee. I’ll never forget the filmed confrontation between Rollins and Huck’s wife after one of the debates. Naturally, nody knew they were being filmed. Couldn’t hear what was said but all men know what that pointed finger in the face means.
Yep.
Michelle Obama’s staff turnover rate is a bit higher than it was for previous first ladies. In just under three years, she has gone through three chiefs of staff, three secretaries, two communication directors and, as of today, her press secretary will be making a grand exit. So, why the mass exodus, you ask? According to an expert in Politico, it may have something to do with her skin color:
“She is, if possible, under more scrutiny than even other modern first ladies, being the first African-American first lady,” said Katherine Jellison, a history professor at Ohio University who specializes in first ladies. “She also represents a new generation, really the first post-boomer generation of first lady.”
While the idea that people are being driven away due to stress and scrutiny has its merits, some would argue that Obama‘s treatment in media and society hasn’t differed greatly from that of other first ladies (some may even claim she‘s received more favorable media coverage at various times during her husband’s first term). Jellison‘s argument’s seem oddly similar to Rep. Clyburn’s (who said that President Obama’s problems are the result of “the color of his skin”). Others claim that she can be tough to work for:
Sources familiar with the East Wing, who asked not to be named discussing internal dynamics, described the first lady’s office as a challenging workplace, where grueling hours and the expectations of a formidable boss intensify the demands of managing a popular first lady’s schedule, image and agenda.

Just reminded me of the turnover of Michelle’s staff. Of course, they were all just racists.
