Michelle Obama - what kind of First Lady is this?
They've done a good job of keeping Michelle under wraps during the campaign. I must say I shudder to think of her anger unleashed after the election - whether Obama wins or loses, I think we'll be tapping in to that part of her that truly believe that our country has been a miserable place prior to the Obamas' arrival on the scene.

...and she danced with Ellen Degeneres on her TV show. The video is on youtube. Very first lady material. (But then B. O. did it, too, so it's all in "fun")

I actually like Michelle Obama, and think she'll make a good first lady. I think people gave her too much grief for this.

It's strange how differently we can look at things.
I see Michelle Obama as an angry, bitter and ungrateful person. While appearing to have empathy, she spends the first part of her speeches dwelling on all the suffering and hardship "out there" - which is a cold-hearted technique to draw in more support for her Messiah husband.
Michelle is from a middle class background but in college she adopted the posture that blacks are prevented from achieving.
Which says to me that her saying "For the first time I'm proud of my country" is not a slip of the tongue but a deeply-held conviction. How crazy to think that only one event - her husband running for president could make her proud of her country.
I lived and worked with people like Barak and Michelle and William Ayers. They hate America and always will until they are able to reshape it the way they want it.
I think Michelle is very calculating and knows how to work a crowd. But I think she wants power - and that's not a good quality in a First Lady - or even a president.

Our words (and actions) reveal our heart.
