We’re bored. Let’s flog Mrs. Obama.

POLITICO specializes in vapid, incendiary articles that history will quickly consign to its famous ash heap. Today, it castigates Michelle Obama at length for not remaking the White House into “Camelot.” Never mind that America is not even aware of the issue. But hey, let's throw rocks at Michelle anyway. "Because of the campaign, people expected Obama and the first lady to revitalize some of the glamour of the White House and bring Camelot back to Washington," a Princeton professor tells Politico without a scintilla of evidence. “There has been no attempt to reach out to people they don’t see as their people,” sniffed the unnamed wife of a “senior official” outside the White House inner circle (gotta love this sourcing). So, what is the point of the article? Simple: The Obamas are snobs who don’t give enough soirees for the Washington elite, the only "people" obsessing over Camelot. The horror.
