Remember during the campaign when the Republicans collectively decided that the Obama Achilles heel was his wife, Michelle. Remember when we heard loads of nonsense about her “proud” remarks and the Neanderthals in the Tennessee GOP cut a couple ads going after her? And McCain trotted out his wife to tell us she has always been proud of her country? Remember all that?
Like everything else the last few years, this endeavor has turned out really well for the GOP:
Americans have very positive impressions of both President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. But in the latest Gallup Poll, Mrs. Obama receives a slightly better favorable rating, 72% to 69%.
These guys have the reverse Midas touch.
