| Democrat Fratricide: Michelle won't let Barack pick Hillary as VP. |
| 2008-05-10 |
| Prof. Ann Althouse Robert Novak says: The Democratic front-runner's wife did not comment on other rival candidates for the party's nomination, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer. According to Obama sources, those public utterances do not reveal the extent of her hostility. And please don't call it the "Queen Bee Syndrome." . . . Do powerful women hate to see other women succeed? Do they want to be the only woman? Or do you think "sisterhood is powerful" at the highest levels? Surely, Michelle Obama has plenty of reason to hate Hillary, but don't you think she wants to be the First Lady? If a woman is Vice President, that woman seems to be above the President's wife. She'd be the first lady. Michelle would even have competition as the top spouse of the land, what with a former President roaming in and about the VP mansion. He'd catch the spotlight, project the glamour. And speaking of Bill Clinton... Hillary certainly made it her business over the years to keep other women down whenever those women interfered with her plan to ascend to power via the spousal role. There was no powerful sisterhood then. And now: turnabout! Turnabout is... a bitch. |

| #6 As Ann Coulter said of Te-ree-za: "To be the First Lady, first you have to be a lady." |

| #5 I'd worry too, Michelle, with Hillary only a beat of Barack's heart away from achieving her life-time ambition. Not wise to select her for VP. |

| #4 Michelle realizes the Vice President is one heartbeat away from being President. Just ask Vince Foster....oh wait, you can't. |

| #3 Maybe Michelle just scared of Bill roaming in and about the VP mansion: the Obamas have daughters, don't they? |

| #2 According to Obama sources, those public utterances do not reveal the extent of her hostility. "Nothing personal, Hillary; she hates everybody..." |

| #1 With Obama in the Whitehouse, disaster enough. With Obama (President), Bill Clinton (former President) and Hillary (Obama's VP, but was President Wannabe) much in fighting and power playing. Mega Disaster! |
