I loved watching this yesterday. I love the banter between Michelle and Barrack. They are always touching each other. It so obvious that there is a great deal of love and respect between them.
Agreed. Michelle is a very strong, intelligent woman with her own personality, and it is clear that they are equal partners in their relationship. What a nice change from the smiling cardboard cutout First Ladies of the past! Sometimes I just wanted to scream at Laura Bush, "SAY SOMETHING! Please! Do something besides just 'stand by your man!'" It might be too much to ask her to try to talk him down, but she could at least speak for herself.
And don't get me started on the First Lady we COULD have had this election. Yeesh.
Her answer to the "Mom in Chief" (which of course wasn't directed actually to her...)was just fantastic. "One thing we've learned from this campaign is people...women are capable of doing more than one thing well at the same time...and have have to do both for a long time." Just awesome.
And contributing to the immediate community - regardless of whether or not the girls go to public school is just fantastic.
Oh and Nothing Sacred, I've screamed the same thing to the current First Lady.
