Coleman sees Hollywood debt in Michelle Obama Oscar turn
Posted by: Kevin Diaz under Minnesota U.S. senators, President Obama, Recount Updated: February 25, 2013 - 5:54 PM
“The fact is that the president and the First Lady owe Hollywood so much,” Coleman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Monday afternoon, echoing a sub-theme of his loss to Saturday Night Live performer Al Franken in the 2008 Senate race.
Coleman, however, apparently thought better of pressing the attack any further on one of the most popular women in America. “For her to go on,” he continued, “I’m sure everyone was very, very happy. I’m not going to criticize the First Lady. She’s very, very popular, and I’ll leave it at that.”
