    Michelle and Barack: Just Plain Folks

    Yesterday as I was returning to our SUV after my weekly trip to Wal-Mart (God, I LOVE Wal-mart!) I was reminded of  Elia Kazan’s remarkable 1957 movie, “A Face in the Crowd.” In this must-see, Andy Griffith plays a small-town criminal/pathological narcissistic, Lonesome Rhodes, who, with the assistance of some clever media advisers, becomes a national sensation, a rock star, with a hayseed act designed to appeal to “Bible reading, pork chop eating just plain folks”. Eventually, he decides to use his considerable popularity in the political arena by advising a  presidential candidate to get an image makeover. He tells him to get a dog and employ other superficial means to appeal to the “just plain folks”  in Mr. Rhodes’ huge audience. Of course, Lonesome (who rarely is, at least when it comes to female companionship) is a complete phony, and so is his “just plain folks” act. His downfall comes at the hands of the woman who discovered him cooling his heels in a small town jail after being arrested as a vagrant and who created his popular persona. As she watches him on the set of his down-home television show as the credits roll, she realizes that she has created a celebrity monster. There he is, strolling among the cracker barrels, smiling his used-car salesman smile and thinking his mic is off, refers to the “just plain folks” as idiots and suckers, revealing his contempt for average Americans. Maybe, if we pray really hard, the same thing will happen to Barack Hussein Obama when he goes on “American Idol.” $0$0$0$0So it is with the First Klingon, Michelle Obama. MS-NBC’s Screamer Chris Matthews drooling and gushing notwithstanding, no number of vegetable-garden planting stories and accounts of Oval Office pop-ins with her dog will convince many, me included, that this race-obsessed cauldron of boiling anti-American rage and unjustified sense of entitlement is not only charming, beautiful, and brilliant, but as down to earth as you or I. In fairness, though, the other day I did see a makeup artist show up to put false eyelashes on one of my neighbors before she walked her dog, and at our neighborhood ladies’ book club last week, one of them was sporting $600 earrings. And of course, today I’ll be stepping out in $540 gym shoes. Doesn’t everybody in this mean, soulless country?$0$0$0$0$0If you are wondering why you are wearing a pair of sneakers cost that you $20 at DSW, while Michelle does her trademark farmer-behind-the-plow stomp with her enormous feet clad in fancy, expensive ones, don’t. Unlike you, Michelle deserves only the very best. Just as she deserved a $200,000 raise for her essential “community liaison” gig, coincidentally after her U.S. Senator husband got her employer a $1 million earmark. Her altruistic impulse to go into “public service” worked out very well. Perhaps, as she advised some women in Zanesville, Ohio, you too can do well by doing good in a “helping” industry. In any case, though, Michelle told them not to escape an areas where the median female income is $20,142 (~10% of the raise she received in 2005) and get a high paying job. Somebody (that would be we little people) has to do the dirty work and pay for not only Michelle’s earrings and gym shoes, but also her husband looney socialist spending spree.$0
