But alas, quick on the heels of that came outraged musings on Michelle's extravagance and "hidden agenda". .d.

Would you open this up a little---even freely speculate on what's going on with this focus on Michelle Obama. I ask because I've been disappointed she has been so hidden from most of the news---going back to the `traditional' first `lady' role, i.e. kids, school, and the kitchen. The last couple of days, I saw her working with kids on planting a vegetable garden. Then a brief speech about diet and sodas. Something to do with getting her kids off junk food.

Democracy Now had a guy on yesterday from Berkeley who detailed out years long battles with the USDA, corporate ag, and supermarketing corn and soy beans.

I guess my reasoning is if you want to go after Michelle Obama at least attack her something real like undermining the all American junk food industry.
