I noticed this a while back when the Harley 'beauty contest' flap made the news. There are very seldom if any times I have seen McCain speak or appear (even with Palin at his side) that Cindy McCain hasn't been present.
I just turned on CNN and happened to catch the Blitzer/ Malveux exchange wondering where Michelle was and did the Obama camp know why she wasn't there?? Yada, yada, yada. It was pretty obvious that they were trying to make something out of her not being at Ground Zero.
Michelle has been at many events by herself or with other women speaking on behalf of Barack and the issues. On the other hand, other than Cindy introducing her husband or blurting out "how she was ALWAYS proud to be an American" I only see her hovering behind him like the good little Repub. Stepford wife.
I have come to the conclusion that they want her portrayed as always standing by her MAN, instead of being, well you know, 'uppity'. When I saw her today at Ground Zero I wondered why she was there. It was a unity ceremony for the two candidates. I will just bet this sly criticism of Michelle not attending will be heard again.
Suzanne Malveaux did get a response from the Obama camp that Michelle was in Chicago. DUH! Maybe being a mom or something like that?? Guess that is only important in Republican circles.
This Cindy in every picture thing is really got to be a calculated effort on their part. I mean, she's filthy rich but doesn't she have other stuff to do even for the campaign?
Just wondering if any other Kossacks have noticed?
