I saw a big, wide woman in mismatched clothes and expensive tennis shoes at Lowes. I ran around her (no small feat) and tried to look under the ball cap and wig hat. Could it be?? Maybe??
I think so!!!!
Gosh I wish the press had been there.

Pffffftttt!

Just happened to be an AP photographer present?

Right!

You know this is image repair after the numerous separate trips on Air Force One to go on vacation, the Organic Tuscan Kale trip to the farmers market that cost the taxpayers thousands and thousands for a couple of veggies, the vacation in Spain with 40 of her closest friends, the no expense too great trip to India where she booked the entire 750 room Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, etc etc.

This is a woman that received various grants and aid to attend Harvard Law school. Who, after less than 5 years, gave up her license to practice. That was a good return for the taxpayer and university donor money?

This is a woman who made over $300,000 a year in a do nothing public relations job at a Chicago area hospital. A job so important that when she stepped down it is unfilled to this day. Could it be that the hospital was supplementing the Obama income due to the various items of health care legislation and regulation that came to Barack Obama's desk as a state and US Senator? Who knows? But one thing is true, this is the oldest trick in the book, disgraced Ca Speaker of the Assembly Fabian Nunez's wife made a startlingly high salary working for a hospital association when he was speaker.

I don't think one brief run to Target is going to turn her into the mom down the block.
