Michelle Obama: A real mother and wife
I think Michelle Obama would make an excellent First Lady and I hope and dare to say, I think she will get that chance in just a few short weeks from now.
I heard her really speak for the first time when she gave her introductory speech for Barack Obama at the recent 2008 Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado. A video and transcripts are available on this New York Times website.
I think she a classy, educated, balanced, ambitious and incredibly poised woman, wife and mother. I think she truly understands the hardships that average women face on a daily basis. She also speaks candidly about how she and Barack make their daughters a priority and check in with them on a daily basis at an absolute minimum. She is working tirelessly to help Barack get elected next month which is only the beginning of some excellent change for this nation.
She recently said on Larry King Live and in other news outlets that she is not mad at Sarah Palin for the negative campaigning and that she isn’t angry at John McCain for refering to her husband as “that one” during the debate last night. She speaks articulately about her life as a mother and wife and how she is listening to and identifying with other women across this nation who are struggling each day with the juggling act of motherhood.
If you Google her name the results are endless. Among the media clips and news articles is a site designated to keeping track of all of her appearances and media mentions, Michelle Obama Watch is a repository of photos and media captions.
