I did not hear of anyone saying anything negative about B.O.'s wife, until she took the podium in order to hit B.O.'s talking points and a few of her personal ones. No spouse has been this outspoken since Bill and FDR's spouse. I believe she caught some flack too. If Ms. B.O. just does nice and get slammed, that's unjustified, but if she jabs with the same stick B.O. uses, it open season, and rightly so!
