She and Sen. Obama have a lovely family.<br><br>I have no doubt that she would make a wonderful first lady. <br><br>Our political figures, their spouses and families, while we may disagree with their opinions and policies, are in the end, in my mind, Americans we all can and all should be proud of, regardless of their political party.<br><br>I also know that  Michelle Obama is full of passion, opinions and ideas. I am also sure that I may not agree or identify with her in many ways.  <br><br>I feel her speech was constructed primarily to \'reshape\' her image and reassure voters that she \'loves this country\' and that  the Obama\'s are a \'typical, American family.\' <br><br>I find it unfortunate that the campaign felt the need to make these assertions at all.</div>\

I was always amazed and proud of folks like that who made the sacrifice. They did these things, practices nonviolence, were pleasant in the face of adversity and threats to their physical safety. They knew that referencing the ignorance would do little to assiage it. So watching Michelle I am reminded of those kinds of sacrifices.

WE ARE NOT black or a man or a woman or a mother or a son etc.We are what ever is capable of playing all of these different roles and assuming all of these different identities.So see the truth the power wove ideas of racism sexism religion through both campaigns.The candidates have very little control over their campaigns ther given a role to play and words to say that have beenfocused grouped and psycoanalysed and marketed to get just the effect you see division among DEMOCRATS DIVISIONS BETWEEN RACE GENDER ETC. wE NEED TO STOP THINKING LIKE CONSUMERS AND START THINKING LIKE PRODUCERS.GEORGE CLINTON PUT IT LIKE THIS. LITTLE MISS MUPPET SAT ON A TUFFET SNORTING SOME THC ALONG CAME A SPIDER SAT DOWN BESIDE HER SAID WHATS IN THE BAG BITCH SHE SAID IM LAUGHING AT YOU.If anybody on this site can began to understnd this rhyme you will have the key to understand this whole presidential charade.AND IM BLACK ALL THE TIME THAT BEING A REVOLUTIONARY STATE OF MIND THAT REALIZES THAT THE ELITES PLAN TO ENSLAVE US ALL BY DIVIDING US RACE AGAINST RACE CLASS AGAINST CLASS RELIGION AGAINST RELIGION AND GENDER SAGINST GENDER.REMEMBER THESE WORDS AS YOU WATCH THE GAME UNFOLD</div>\
