I just think Michelle Obama is the Most Awesomest super-classy woman of ever.
She never takes the political bait, always focuses on the big picture and rises above what’s going on around her. Not that I don’t love her husband as a candidate, but my dream ticket would involve Mrs. Obama herself for president.
To wit, her recent interview with Larry King, as reported in CNN:
McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, has lobbed some intense attacks on Barack Obama over the Ayers issue. “Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country,” Palin told a crowd of supporters this week.
King played the clip and asked Michelle Obama if that statement made her “mad.”
Obama replied, “I don’t watch it.”
“What do you make of her running for a vice president and having many kids and being a good parent and bouncing all the balls?” King asked.
“I think she provides an excellent of example of all the different roles that women can and should play,” Michelle Obama responded. “I’m a mother with kids and I’ve had a career and I’ve had to juggle. She’s doing publicly what so many women are doing on their own privately. What we’re fighting for is to make sure that all women have the choices that Sarah Palin and I have.”
So classy. Really, I just love her.
Wow! We agree! I too think Michelle Obama is a very classy woman and one that I will continue to admire, no matter the result of the election. In fact, she would be my First Lady of choice. Any person that can handle the awkward position of a political spouse with such class deserves to be recognized. I just wish Mrs. McCain would take note…
