Watching Obama on 60 Minutes Made me Feel Patriotic... (Almost)
What a thrill to have as a President-elect a man who speaks in whole sentences, who has well-enunciated thoughts, a readily accessible grasp of history -- and a sense of humor to boot.

Michelle Obama didn't just make a fashion statement, she told the world what kind of First Lady she will be.
Most of us can learn a thing or two from this woman who came from humble beginnings on the South Side of Chicago to excel at the country's top institutions, with the goal of helping others.
The Republicans are in a period of "soul searching." And by "soul searching" they really mean, "Who do I have to kill to be in charge here?" The answer, of course, appears to be Sarah Palin.
Barack Obama, whose hair is slightly grayer now, was elegant and majestic as he delivered his acceptance speech; the victory was and is ours.
When did you realize that Barack was The One? Provide exact month, day, and year of your enlightenment, and the names of at least two (2) witnesses.
The Mayor of Batman, Turkey is suing Warner Bros and Chris Nolan for not getting permission to use the name 'Batman.' Absurd, insane, ridiculous, right? Well of course, but the truth is far more disturbing.
Good morning! Happy Wednesday! Happy Hangovers!, etc, et al. I know it's a good day because everyone's favorite candidate won and people were dancing ...
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.
One of the greatest benefits of an Obama presidency is hidden in plain sight: the relationship between Michelle and Barack. They provide a great role ...

Even if it's not "rational" economically, couples are much more likely to move for the husband's career. The gender logic within families is often more powerful than the economic logic.
In the weeks following the 2008 election, there has been little talk of anything not tinged with our country's pride in electing our first African Ame...
Only 24% of white Americans have a favorable view of Michelle Obama. How could she be less popular than the most unpopular president in US history? I have an answer: racism.
I surprised myself at how seamlessly I went from my speech on breaking racial barriers to a critique of Michelle Obama's outfit as though they were both equally important.
If Michelle truly wants to renegotiate her relationship with the American voter, the changes are going to have to come from within.

will mandi edit this way she's edited the magazines she's been in charge of? surely an editor/author more attuned to American style would be a better choice to helm this book.
mandi did fine in the UK but here in the US?somehow mandi's been lost in translation. michelle deserves better.
I think the world of Michelle Obama. She is very bright, articulate and a wonderful role model for women everywhere, especially women of color. Her life story proves that the sky is the limit if you truly apply yourself and work hard. That said, I don't get all the fuss about her style, I really don't think the clothes are anything remarkable, but the person in them is. I hope that people will focus more on her than her clothes in the next 8 years because I think she has a lot to offer to our country.
