A Real Wife, In a Real Marriage

As a subscriber to Newsweek, I must say that this article is an embarassing attempt at journalism. If there is one source I look to for quality election coverage, it is most certainly here. However, this piece left me with little more than I started with 5 minutes ago. In fact, I have most certainly regressed. I don't find it hard to believe that this writer has met the aforementioned criteria of a strong black woman. Perhaps, Ms. Kelley should overcome these stereotypes. First of all, she could save the STUCO election story for her "biracial" boy, just after teaching him how to "pick up his socks and put away the butter first". Then, maybe she could spending less time gloating about her self-righteous accomplishments and parenting ability and focus on writing an article, which doesn't register as a waste of time to the viewing audience. Archive this one in the 'Home and Garden' section.

Wow, I can't wait to tell my wife that she is not real and that we are not in a real marriage, because were are not the Obamas...

ALL and all its just a bunch of PINKobamas that scrawl. They will see the world thru rose colored glasses till next fall. If their fool gets in they will soon see the handwriting on the wall. He puts in the DRAFT...and I do not mean to the inaugural ball. They may raise a ruckus but Obumer will not let them stall. And that is the HOPE and CHANGE that will befall. all the UDOPIANS that can not see the handwriting on the wall. The founding fathers never mentioned hope and change nor did King Saul. They wrote a constitution and did things that were not very small; unlike OBUMER and the UDOPIANS who run their mouths and scrawl but never really said or did anything of substance at all.

Sick&Tired...too bad you had to actually use a dictionary to understand IGNORANCE!!!!!

Do we really understand the meaning of ignorant? Webster states that ignorant is lacking knowledge or intelligence, neither of which Michelle Obama lacks. This woman, in defense of her husband, has the right to say whatever she feels is necessary. Your vote simply doesnt matter, the United States is speaking and people like you are like a hoarse voice in the screaming wind. Face it, change is needed in this country and the Clinton's dont represent change. We've been under their reigns before, get over it. Hillary and Bill's negative comments or attacks on supporters are just helping Obama's campaign. They are on a roll and we love it. It shows how destructive she'll become if placed in office, hell, Bill is gonna take over anyway. Shows what stupidity they are willing show. Michelle's comment is not about not being appreciative of being American?!?!?! It's what she's always been. Get over it!! See you at the inauguration of Barack Obama!!!! And by the way, John McCain's wife should mind her business. Put her against Michelle Obama, we'll see who's ignorant!!!

Michelle Obama may be college educated but she is people ignorant. To point fault at HIllary for Bill's infedelity is weak and ignorant. Appears that the Obamas think alike. While Michelle Obama mocks and fault Hillary for the biggest pain and publicized humiliation of her life. Barack is betting on the idea that the public and media will fall madly in love with the well orchestrated image to overlook his ignorance on foreign affairs, economic and domestic affairs. Betting on the idea that image alone will win over substance and experience. He may be right but not with my vote.

I think that Barack and Hillary have both already agreed on the fact that they are both married to highly passionate spouses. All four are attorneys - Barack, Bill, Hillary and Michelle - so they are all accomplished at debating and argument.

I don't think Michelle Obama is any different than most women, married or otherwise - I think she speaks her mind, even when she and her husband do not agree.

She may be wrong in stating that Hillary can't control Bill - but she is entitled to say it. Sad but true, America just wants all Presidential spouses to be like Jackie O and Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush - elegantly silent. Bill Clinton included......

Obama's wife has been frustrated and dissapointed with America but is now feeling proud because her husband is now a viable candidate for president. This tells me its been all about the Obamas and not about americans. To love this country so much that you want to lead is to love it for its flaws and its greatness. To love this country is to recognize the great changes it has made and the those yet to be done. To love this country is to be proud of its accomplishments while working towards further accomplishments. To love this country is not to focus on what it has not done for you without ever crediting the sacrafices made, blood shed, sweat and tears endured to get us to where we are today. America is not perfect in my eyes but I count my blessings on a regular basis that I do live here where hope has never been dead even during the toughest of times. The more I read and hear of the Obamas, the more I feel they are a self-serving pair with little regards to the depth of what Americans are all about.

Michelle is privileged to be annointed with the same teflon covering as her husband. I was done with her when she made the repugnant comment - almost completely ignored by the media as is anything negative about the Obamas - that if Hillary Clinton "can't control her own house, how is she going to control the White House." Women of America, wake up! Listen to what Ms Obama is really saying! If your husband/boyfriend/partner has cheated on you, it's YOUR fault because you couldn't "control" him. And if you can't control him, how cld you possibly have a career or professional life that wld work either? Underneath her white pearls and expensive suits, is a haughty, ambitious woman who disdains those who have less than perfect (and comfortable) lives though she'll go to great lengths to keep that from showing and the media is her best friend in keeping the secret.

Michele Obama should be our Next Pesident! Smart, savy, experienced in health care managemnt, and un bowed by public opionn!

YOU ARE SO CORRECT BUT I HEARD THIS MORNING ON MSNBC THAT WHAT THE SPOUSES SAY REALLY ISN'T IMPORTANT AND IT'S JUST PETTY TO COVER IT ........ HUH HAVEN'T THEY BEEN HIGHLIGHTING BILL CLINTON'S WORDS FOR A MONTH FAIR AND BALANCED ON WAIT A MINUTE THAT'S FOX NOT MSNBC

As a white American woman, I am thrilled by the prospect of Michelle Obama being First Lady and representing American womanhood to the rest of the world. She is strong, determined, brilliant, classy and elegant. Her love for her husband is obvious. Her ability to engage as an equal with the likes of Barack Obama speaks volumes, not only about African-American women, but about all American women who get up every day and are strong and give their very best to their husbands, their families, their jobs and their country. Enough of First Ladies who sit silently on their tuffets smiling obsequiously as their husbands destroy the world. Mrs. Bush certainly doesn't represent American womanhood. Michelle Obama does, and she makes me proud!

I'm very concerned with the recurring stereotype of white women as demure, sweet, little doormats. I am a feisty, "unafraid, confident and blunt" white woman. My mouth has gotten me in a lot of trouble, but my husband loves my outspoken nature and my parents taught me to be tough and stand up for myself. Also, I take real offense to the idea that " if Hillary had done a little public emasculating, Bill might have had less trouble in his second term." Hillary is not to blame for Bill's infidelity and I think it's tacky, crude, and cheap for Michelle Obama (and others) to assert that she is. Michelle Obama said, "if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House." Way to go, Michelle!
