Personally I like Michelle Obama. I like her best when she is just one of us – wearing shorts and a pony tail sightseeing at South Rim of Grand Canyon, or digging in the White House garden, or looking totally chic in clothing that is accessible to middle class Americans. I remember seeing her recently on TV actually running and skipping over a stretch of white sand beach in Pensacola laughing and having a good time. She was so natural, so accessible, so just like my girlfriends and me.
Robert Gibbs is completely correct “Michelle is a private citizen” and can vacation where, went and with whom ever she wants” but when her travel requires a retinue of 70 Secret Service agents, an unknown number of aides, and a presidential plane then it’s the people’s business.
