Obama’s biggest general election liability: His bitter half
By Michelle Malkin • May 7, 2008 06:02 AM With Barack Obama on the verge of sewing up the Democrat presidential nomination, my syndicated column this morning looks at his biggest general election liability: The Missus.
Are you ready for hope and change? Barack Obama better hope his bitter half has a change of attitude if she expects to assume the title of first lady in November. She’s been likened to John F. Kennedy’s wife, what with her chic suits and pearls and perfectly coiffed helmet hair. But when she opens her mouth, Michelle O. is less Jackie O. and more Wendy W. — as in Wendy Whiner, the constantly kvetching Saturday Night Live character from the early 1980s.
