"What is at stake is not just the environment, but democratic governance itself." And that is it in a nutshell.

Michelle made public her love of organic gardening, Spring of 2009, even as her husband was appointing Mike Taylor to the top position at one of the more important divisions of the FDA. (Taylor is key to Monsanto's dominance of the political world.)

So she either allows herself to be used to distract us from what is really going on, or else somehow she doesn't realize it. Since she comes from a heady background where she once served as an Administrator of a major hospital, I'd have to say she totally approves of being a distraction.
