One noticeable absence from the Wikileaks Podesta email dump is Barack Obama. Reading through the emails you sense very little real influence from the direction of the White House.
For months I've been wondering whether the super popular (in Dem circles) first lady would emerge as the sleeper candidate as Hillary's troubles mounted to the point of untenability. But residing in the heat sink that the White House has become removes some of her glow as well. Thus there is a diminished likelihood Hillary will have her strings snipped at the last minute and see them attached to Michelle Obama.
A couple of Michelle's recent appearances have seemed like test runs in ways I haven't seen her do before. Whoever is behind it has to be disappointed with her un-candidate-like presence, not that that would be all that important. If she could carry the party through the election, that would be enough. But she seems pretty obviously too lacking.
