Nah, Michelle is nowhere near that heavily muscled or unattractive. But classy is not a word I’d use to describe her. Nor successful, nor a symbol of hard work and upward mobility. But I’d say the same for almost any Democratic first lady or politician. Democrats, at least in terms of political policy, couldn’t care less about class, glamor, success and upward mobility. These are all hallmarks of privilege, you see, and as such are unfair and should be abandoned.
