have that because of the way he uses twitter. she can try to focus the message. she can say through spokespeople that she gets the irony, but she s going to press on. i just don t see the message really getting through. well, obviously that obstacle is there, but i wonder if we re underestimating the first lady a little bit here. in choosing this particular initiative a out of all the ones she could have done, i wonder if she is trolling the president on this issue because again she could have picked literacy. she could have picked just sa no. she picked cyber bullying. look, i think that s it, an interesting family dynamic. at the very least. to explore, but it just doesn t, her initiative doesn t have any impact on person who has arguably the most impact. that s an intervention. got it. if that s true, john, i have to say, i agree with you if
