Well that's pretty easily answered snood, although I'm not sure it is easily accepted on your part.
I speak of the same danger for which you might feel concern if a right-wing poltician takes the reins of government in 2009.
It's a bit stereotypical, but Republican spouses don't tend to generate contraversy, while their Democratic counterparts do.
Let's assume, however, that someone like Dick Cheney was running for president. Personally, I would be happy to think that Lynn Cheney might influence her husbands thinking and decisions, but I think it's fair to say you would not.
Frankly, I fully expect that you would find reason to accuse Lynn Cheney of "nefarious" or "seditious" notions, but this would be equally as ridiculous as accusing the same of Michelle Obama.
The point is that whether a liberal or a conservative, if the spouse of the oppositions's candidate is likely to influence the, eventual, president toward policies counter to what you believe is best for your country, you will consider that influence dangerous, and thus, by extension, that person to be dangerous.
I don't know how I can be more clear that I do not believe Michelle Obama is a horrible person who holds dear plans to ruin this country.
She is, however, by my standards a leftist and since I believe a leftist path for America is dangerous, her ability to influence the next president of the US towards such a path makes her dangerous.
Or is that too subtle for you?
