So, Michelle Obama is more popular than the president. And her favorables are higher among Democrats than Republicans. This is news, Politico?
Why wouldn't she be more popular? She doesn't make controversial decisions, she doesn't have campaign promises to break of fulfill and she can play the role of loving mother and spouse in the public eye as much as she wants to.
Seriously, all the First Ladies in recent times (with the possible exception of Nancy Reagan) have at one time or another been more popular than their husbands. It would be news if they weren't.
Of course Michelle Obama is more popular than her husband -- we'd expect that unless she were caught slipping arsenic into the chocolate bars she handed out to the kids at Halloween at the White House.
If only the media would stop treating fake news as the real thing. Then, for the first time in my adult lifetime, would I be proud of my newspaper.

Michelle seems to be much more down-to-earth than any of her predecessors, too. A friend sent me a viral email showing her fashion faux pas which made me love her even more. She's not pretentious and seems to care more about her family than her image. She's beautiful, too! :)
All true.
