Ex-White House aide who transformed Michelle Obama into an all-American 'everywoman' hired to help Hillary Clinton become the next president (but can she overcome the email scandal?)

She helped to transform U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama's public image into that of an all-American 'everywoman' who shops at retail outlets, does 'mom dancing' and even has a Twitter account.

Now, former White House aide Kristina Schake, who left the East Wing in June 2013, is reportedly behind the drive to get another first lady - ex-secretary of state, Hillary Clinton - elected president.

Ms Schake, 45, who has worked as chief communications officer at L'Oreal USA for the past two years, has been brought on to Mrs Clinton's 2016 communications team to help recast her image.

She will attempt to turn the 67-year-old politician - who is expected to announce her run for White House this month - from a strong and knowledgeable figure into a softer, more accessible one, according to the New York Times.

i’m not sure Ms Schake has the background for the task

she hasn’t worked with a woman before

If we can find a way to get some visibility on the consultant and Hillary, it will pretty well much neutralize the endeavour.

Good luck with that.

America’s sweetheart.

If she doesn’t run for Senate in ‘16, I predict she’ll show up on daily tv, View, Blowprah, PMSNBC, etc.

And Barry turned her right back into an un-American toad!

I FOR ONE CAN BARELY WAIT...whoooopeee

[Huntress]

She didn’t do a very good job with Michelle. But if she can get Hillary to stop dressing like a villain in a James Bond movie, she will have accomplished a lot.

Ms Schake:

One thing is for sure - Heidi Cruz won't need to be shown how to wear a skirt.

Oh, yeah, Hillary in shorts with panty lines!

You can't buy blackness, Hillary.

[N. Theknow]

Hillary is strong and knowledgeable? Bwahahahaha!

(but can she overcome the email scandal?)

Of course she can. If Hillary! is not nominated, or is nominated but not elected, it will be because of nothing having to do with substance. It will be because of the lack of an emotional connection: younger men will see her as the old bitty, older men will see her as the embodiment of their ex, married women will see her as the wrinkled gold-digger who let her husband walk all over her, black people will see her as the one who tried to keep Obama from getting elected.

Or not enough of this will happen, and Hillary! will be POTUS #45. But let's not kid ourselves: substance will not keep her from getting nominated or elected.
