This doesn't make Obama sound like he's very capable... what was she thinking?

Now, Michelle has left her job for the duration of the campaign--and, with a little luck, for the next four or even eight years. One can only imagine her ambivalence about this decision.

As for her on-the-trail patter, Michelle is far from a feminist bomb-thrower, instead relying heavily on conventional, even old-fashioned, material. She gigs Barack for being too much of a guy: messy, thoughtless, and only marginally competent when it comes to life maintenance. More than once, Michelle has laughed about how she assigns Barack easy-to-manage projects, like procuring balloons for their daughter's birthday party, rather than anything more involved, like picking out goodie bags--"You'd walk in there and wander around the aisles for an hour, and then your head would explode."

So his wife doesn't even find him a capable husband, and only assigns him the most menial chores, and now we're supposed to assign him the Presidency?  Normally you want to talk up your husband's qualifications, not his inadequacies.  How can I vote for someone who is only capable of buying party balloons?
