Michelle O. sets the ish skraight

Michelle Obama addressed a "Women for Obama" rally and had these choice words for media pundits regarding her husband's Blackness:

"We’re still playing around with the question: Is he black enough?” “Stop that nonsens.” “We are messing with the heads of our children.”

It amazes me how much power she packs in so little worlds. All her quotes are short and to the point dammit. When Mr. Obama becomes president, there should be no question in a child's mind with regards to his Blackness. I can only hope that Obama conveys this Blackness through his actions and policies.

Michelle feels her husband is a role model and this completely loaded sentence was just as powerful, direct and accurate. I applauded my computer screen when reading it:

“If you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House.”

Wow, hunh? In other words, considering the Clinton, Bush and Giuliani families are steeped in sex, drugs and crime histories, we shouldn’t be surprised that the country is rife with sex, drugs and crime. Hunh? Haha. Don’t get me putting words in Ms. Michelle's mouth…. Maybe it was a jab at Mrs. Clinton exclusively? What do you think? Either way, I got the point.
