Just in from the Obama Transition Team: It has been confirmed that Michelle
Obama will be named the First Lady in Barack Obama's Administration.
Conservatives asked to comment on the pick were almost all angry arguing that after Obama's choice of Rahm Emmanuel, long time friend and close advisor, as Chief of Staff this decision to keep Michelle Obama on as First Lady is proof positive that Obama is going back on his promise of a unity government.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinzski on Morning Joe were in complete distress.
Joe said sourly, "You know, she will be the most liberal First Lady in the White House in eight years."
Mika responded by lamenting, "I think he should have picked Sarah Palin for this position. She's a mother, she is a stylish dresser, and she is a conservative. If Obama was really committed to bringing this country together he would have picked Palin to be the First Lady."
