The Beginning of the Makeover

If you followed the primary between BHObama and HRod (if you read these pages you didn't have a choice), you know that in the female demographic, HRC cleaned his clock, so to speak. Where are those women going to go now? A young, inexperienced (albeit articulate) black man or an old, crusty inarticulate white guy?

Enter Michelle Obama. Some have tried to paint her as a country-hating racist (see example: "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country..."). There are other examples I can point to if our readers would be so inclined. You see, that attitude was not as detrimental to the campaign in a Democrat primary, but in a general election, the candidate (and the candidate's wife) has to move more toward the center. The center for Michelle Obama, I guess, is paying respects and offering kind words for Laura Bush.

I've said for some time now that a "makeover" is coming for Michelle. Well, it started today. And with it, Obama's push for the female vote.

After this makeover, you will think she (Michelle Obama) was the one who knitted the first American flag, not Betsy Ross.

Today was the beginning of that makeover--her big appearance on The View. Where else does one go to cater to the female vote and re-package yourself into Molly America?

The makeover has begun, and you heard it from Steakmatters first.
