Sooo, it looks like maybe Jodi Kantor was right about a few things after all. You’ve probably seen this disturbing news about Lady M’s future commitment to WTF:
"My approach to campaigning is: This is the time that I have to give to the campaign, and whatever you do with that time is up to you, but when it's over, don't even look at me. Don't look this direction. No calls, no anything," she said Friday in an interview with reporters traveling with her on a trip to promote her childhood obesity initiative.
Mrs. Obama, who says her relationship with her husband is two-fold as citizen and as his wife, is drawing firm lines around her time, both with her daughters, Sasha and Malia, and for herself.
"It's been a tough row to hoe, but I want him to be my president for another four years, as a citizen," she said. "So I'm going to do what I need to do. But Malia and Sasha always come first."
Don’t worry. Let me explain what doesn’t count as campaigning:
Appearances pandering to supporting military families:
Appearances involving random dancing:
Appearances with local officials promoting No Child’s Fat Behinds:
Appearances at schools promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Appearances in ethnic neighborhoods promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Day time TV appearances promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Sack Races in the Big White promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Night time TV appearances promoting No Child’s Fat Behinds:
Townhall Meetings promoting No Child’s Fat Behinds:
Appearances on cooking shows promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Appearances at Faith and Community groups promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Appearances in your kitchen promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
Appearances at theme parks promoting No Child’s Fat Behind:
And that was just 30 days of non-campaign appearances! So don’t worry about not seeing enough of Lady M – our theme is “Have plane, will travel”’
Wow, that’s a big turbo-prop! (piece of machinery? turbine? mother?)
