THERE ARE THOSE WHO SUPPORT WHAT MICHELLE OBAMA SAID
I believe it is out of ignorance and preconceptions that they believe Michelle hasn’t had ‘much to be proud of’
Jimmy Z - This is from a person in the evil leftwing chat room, though this person in particular is neither evil nor mindlessly left. Still, we have to look at what she says and refute it, because many leftists out there believe this stuff.
Even Michelle is backpedaling because what she said was so entirely lame, based upon Michelle’s own life!
What the chat room person said (via myspace):
AS A BLACK FEMALE GROWING UP IN THE USA MICHELLE OBAMA DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO BE PROUD OF AND I DO NOT BLAME HER. MRS MCCAIN AS A RICH WHITE WOMAN WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT. MICHELLE OBAMA WAS WAY TOO HONEST FOR THE CORRUPT NEVER NEVER LAND POLITICS. GO MICHELLE OBAMA! YOU TELLEM! MUCH LOVE TO YOU.
What reality is in Michelle Obama’s life:
“Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama (born January 17, 1964) is an American lawyer and the wife of Illinois senator Barack Obama, who is a candidate for the 2008 Democratic Party nomination for United States President. She was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois and then educated at Princeton University and Harvard Law School. She returned to Chicago after completing her formal education to work for the law firm Sidley Austin, on the staff of the Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley, and for the University of Chicago and the University of Chicago Hospitals. She is the sister of Craig Robinson.
“She met Barack when he came to work for Sidley Austin. The Obamas live on Chicago's South Side in Cook County, Illinois, United States, choosing to remain in Chicago rather than moving to Washington, D.C. She is now perceived as Barack's closest adviser; early in the race she said, "My job is not a senior adviser."
“Michelle Robinson was born in Chicago, Illinois to Frasier Robinson (who died in 1990), a city water plant employee and Democratic precinct captain, and Marian Robinson, a secretary at Spiegel's catalog store; she grew up in the South Shore community area of Chicago. Unlike her husband, she was raised in a conventional two-parent home where the family convened around the dinner table nightly. She and her brother, Craig (who is 16 months older), skipped the second grade. Michelle graduated from Whitney Young Magnet High School in 1981 and went on to major in sociology and minor in African American studies at Princeton University, where she graduated cum laude with an Artium Baccalaureus in 1985. She obtained her Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School in 1988.” [Wikipedia]
Good Lord, the poor Michelle Obama has suffered so! --JZ
