How Our First Lady Enabled Barack Obama to become Barack Obama

[sheshe2]

“–Would Black People Have Still Backed Obama if was married to a white woman, or in the case with the Dark Girls doc, if he had been married to a mixed race woman?—”

Let’s just say that there wouldn’t have been a viable candidate Obama without this particular woman, Michelle Obama, by his side—

SNIP~

There’s been this rather bizarre, but quite amusing tendency and corrupt instinct by some – and even a few on the president’s team, to begin to try to revise stuff — to downplay the singular importance of this very unassuming but fiercely intelligent, wise, strong, warm, witty, grounded, principled, passionate, astute, dignified, elegant, unspoiled, unaffected, sensible, insightful, dedicated, loyal, disciplined, genuine, sincere, family-oriented and all around amazing woman with whom he has taken this journey together–

I’m not just talking the incredible sacrifices she made for him to live out his dreams and ambitions while she practically gave up all of hers to support his noble aspirations–

She was after all the one who even though 3 years younger than he, was already for all intents and purposes, on the fast track –practicing law at one of the most prestigious Law firms in the country after having made her way against far too many odds, and in what is still very much a story of triumph, from the SouthSide of Chicago to Princeton and then on to Harvard Law school–

To Our First Lady Michelle~ Thank you.

4. Yes! Thank you, Michelle!

The only First Lady I know of seen wearing a peace symbol necklace. A small thing, perhaps, but it shows her convictions and courage. Beauty, brains, strength. Resolutely pro-choice and pro-peace. Never been a First lady like her. Very proud to have her as First lady!

6. It's the little things that add up to become the whole picture.

The whole picture, that is our First Lady, Kath!

8. She is amazing!

What sitting First Lady ever had the courage to say something like this?

"...government should have no say in whether or when a woman embraces the sacred responsibility of parenthood."

Maybe Hillary, but no one else. Michelle = best First Lady ever!

5. Barack and Michelle are both stellar on their own and added to the mix..

they bring out the best in each other! An unbeatable combination!

The world watched as Michelle Obama — a very private woman widely known to be averse to politics for all its many awful, corrupt, cutthroat, ignoble and dehumanizing forms —stepped out — put herself out there to support and vouch for her husband in the most powerfully moving and compelling of ways — and as only she could possibly ever have–

She did it for him and our country.. they knew the time was now. She gave up her privacy for us and our country, she.

7. She lent us her husband for a short while, Cha!

Together they have become an inspiration to us.

As has their beautiful family, all of them~

13. It's not as if I go around saying that about just anybody, either.

This old yeller dog has standards, by golly! But I joy in praising the worthy.
