You will find no solace here, little sock. Back in the drawer with you.
hey, no first lady has ever been attacked
oops
Hillary was viciously attacked. Laura Bush wasn't, say who? Laura Bush's chief of staff.
From the linked OP article:
Republican strategist John Feehery said conservatives may be seizing on the fact that Michelle Obama, like Hillary Clinton, is perceived to be more liberal than her husband. But he sees a difference between the current first lady and Clinton, who was perceived as a real ideological threat.
Michelle Obama isnt heading up a health care task force, Feehery said, referring to Clinton. Michelle Obama is talking about issues that are relatively important. I think shes a fairly traditional first lady.
In that sense she has resembled her predecessor, Laura Bush, who promoted literacy and womans issues in Afghanistan as first lady, and never attracted much controversy.
The thought of attacking [Laura Bush] was just not in the mainstream, said Anita McBride, who served as Bushs chief of staff. I cant really say she took a pounding on anything like this. Sure, she had her missteps but you really didnt see much criticism. I think people saw her as someone who softened the president.
