Katie McCormick First ladies Press Secretary
The Barack Obama think tank has been tossing and turning for months on what to do about Michelle Obama's militant image crafted by conservative media, through the efforts of the Barack Obama think tank headed by David Axelrod and the First ladies press secretary Katie Mccormick Lelyveld (Yes,they sit in on all the meetings) they may have cleared the path for the Obama administration in 2012 and insured themselves a job come election time, or at least given themselves some wiggle room in regards to Michelle Obama so they can rest easier now.
Katie McCormick Lelyveld worked for Hillary Clinton in former President Bill Clinton's administration so she knows a thing or two about spin doctoring, she had to put a little spin on Michelle Obama's infamous "For the First Time in my life I'm proud to be an American " gaffe.
Michelle Obama may be the first First lady to even have this type of support to deal with the media, once again she's blazing a trail.
How did they soften Michelle Obama's image?, well unlike past Democratic administrations when they took spin doctoring to an absurd level during the Clinton administration, remember the almost psychotic James Carville(He's currently helping a guy run for President of Afghanistan!), the Obama team has managed to turn the tide on Michelle Obama's militant image with the truth, imagine that.
You have seen the head lines in the past few days,
Just who was Michelle Obama’s white slave-owning ancestor?,
In First Lady’s Roots, a Complex Path From Slavery,
and the story still has a lot of steam left in it, rest assured that the White House was all-in on this move.
How do I know that this was important to the people entrusted to craft Michelle Obama's image?,WATCH VIDEO, I got the call 5 days before it hit the papers.Once again, my hat goes off to the Obama administration advisors and press secretaries for finally switching gears and getting out of campaign mode, it took awhile and the conservative press did not give you much room to breathe after the election but you managed to get out a well crafted response to smooth out Michelle Obama's image in a very sophisticated and classy way I might add,
My call from White House: First lady press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld- 5 days before story hit TV!

I am glad to see the side by side of Carvile and that monster. I saw that resemblance years ago.
