The title of the column asks “Who is Barack Obama?”

We know he is the protege of the Machine which, as Wrichard pointed out presciently quite a few weeks ago, “sent him.”

And who is Michele Obama? Why do I distrust her, when she is charming, intelligent, beautiful? Why does she give me the chills?

I just remembered: Hilary was the same kind of candidate’s wife, and she used Bill’s election to become, to some extent, and right away, co-president. The amibitious look in Michele Obama’s eyes suggests to me that she is not intending to be merely presiding, a la Laura Bush, over the Library of Congress annual book fair on the Mall.
