Am I wrong, or has Michelle Obama suddenly started talking and dressing as if she just stepped totally unmodified out of the 1950′s? Apparently somebody told a story last night at the convention about her memorizing as a girl all the ‘Leave it to Beaver’ scripts.

How can this be the same person who voluntarily sat nodding affirmatively through the Rev. Wright’s rants for more than a decade, along with her children? It doesn’t fit at all. Like Obama himself she’s presenting a personality dummied up almost on the spot, for purely electoral purposes.
