No ‘Ticket to Ride’ for Michelle? Awwwww!
h/t HillBuzz
Hmmm… according to the International Herald Tribune Obama’s overseas trip will be loaded up with ’star’ reporters from major newspapers and magazines "flocking to catch Obama’s first overseas trip since becoming the presumptive nominee of his party" while anchors Williams (NBC), Gibson (ABC) and Couric (CBS) will meet him on the trip with remote broadcasts. Seems the Obama-Media lovefest has found new life…
But one key person won’t be going along for the ride. Michelle has had her ‘ticket to ride’ pulled and will be sitting this one out! Quite a surprise since she has been broadcasting her excitement about this trip for a while now. Poor Michelle. I have to wonder what motivated this move. Surely she would love an expense-paid vacation with the family. Surely it would bring her much joy (vindication?) to be photographed by the international press with Sarkozy or with Barry at the [cough] Brandenburg Gate. With both girls out of school for the summer it would be perfect timing. So what is it? If it’s not family scheduling, then what?
That leaves the more -political- reasons. Too many opportunities to talk? Too many chances to show the world who she is and just how she feels about things? Too many chances to OFFEND the hell out of European leaders and dignitaries. Yep, that sounds more likely. Maybe England, Germany, France and the Middle East are simply not ready to be ‘educated’ on American social demise by Michelle’s vitriol; not ready to be blasted by her lack of diplomatic sense and decorum. I’m with HillBuzz on this one…
Something’s fishy with this Michelle business. For her to miss her chance to fist-bump in front of the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben, either the New Yorker cover is expected to generate too much bad press for the campaign overseas, or something else Michelle-related is on the way (and having her on the trip would provide far too many chances for this whole thing to blow up in Obama’s face).
Whatever the reason it’s cause for a little silly schadenfreude at her expense. And cause for some relief as well; international relationships being what they are I can’t help but be glad that Michelle and her harsh Obama-drama won’t be making them worse. To be honest… evil-me would celebrate such an awesome event but… it’s not what we need right now. =(

NOTE: My nephew occasionally goes into New York for his job and last night, while walking past the GE building, he came across this note, which had apparently been dropped by Williams as he left the building following his nightly newscast. Hat tip to my nephew for typing up the note and sending the contents along to me via email.
Gee, it’s even on the actual GE memo/letterhead, too!!!
