WASHINGTON - What is wrong with Michelle Obama?

Not a thing.

Too often, the media depict black women like me as gyrating hoochie mamas, someone's baby mama or dirty crack addicts.

Michelle Obama strikes a pose not seen enough: an accomplished, confident, proud black woman. (And get a load of those arms!)

That seems to scare some people.

1. Just rated it up!

[Alter Ego]

2. I like the piece.

It's a little fluff piece on how skewed the perception of Michelle Obama really is.

3. What's wrong? She's not married to me, that's what's wrong!

:argh:

[bushisanidiot]

4. What's wrong is that she doesn't fit the picture republicans have of african american women.

They are dillusioned and Ms. Obama in the white house will tear the blinds off their racist faces.

[Triana]

9. Yep. And that's EXACTLY what this country needs. I don't think we could have gotten...

...luckier to have such a great couple to be the first African American First Couple.

The racist rednecks would just have to get the frick over it.

12. Remember when the crew at Faux News called her Barack's "baby mamma"? (nt)

[Howler]

5. she's Beautiful !!!!!

She is Strong
She is Classy
She is Intelligent
She is opinionated (I'm Guessing)
She Rocks!!!!!
She will go down in the history books as one of the most beloved first ladies at least equal if not surpassing Jackie O!

6. Absolutely nothin'

Say it, say again

[boobooday]

[bdamomma]

[SeaLyons]

11. it's the book she's reading!!!

Olivia is a subversive...RUN!!!

sP

OnEdit : at least it isn't the FRENCH version!!!

[smirkymonkey]

16. ...And it's even right side up!!

She's a threat to stupid Republicans everywhere!

[TahitiNut]

13. She's the most impressive candidate/Presidential spouse in my memory.

She edges out Jackie O, so far ... and even Elizabeth Edwards. She's got so much going for her (looks, smarts, character) it's hard to see how all that comes in one package. She's her own person. She's offering a model for her daughters that's awesome. She's got a sense of humor and feet firmly on the ground. She's REAL.

I'd love to meet her parents and her brother ... if only to get some picture of how they did it.

[BeFree]

17. Yep

She is one heck of a good person. I am gonna be so glad to see her as a fixture in my America. Or am gonna be so very bummed out if they steal another election. It remains to be seen, eh?

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

14. Michelle rocks

Smart, accomplished, down to earth and a lovely lady. Can't wait to see her in the White House with Barack!

[applegrove]

15. Michelle Obama is perfect. She will make the best first lady we have

seen in a generation. And good for her that her issues will be balancing work & kids. And issue most American women know only too well.
