Valerie Jarrett's Inside Take on First Lady Michelle Obama

Reader Comments
Back to article

The Obamas have worked as hard as any citizen in Americian. Look at their credentials and educational background. The Presidents is the author of several Number one best sellers. Michelle has the most difficult and important career. She is married to the Presdent of the United States and two young beautiful girls. Her husband has the most difficult and important position in the world. This country has had 375 years of white presidents and a African American who has 150 days as President. I congradulate Michelle for always adhering to her first and main goalto be the best Mom-In-Cheif. You can not tell Michele what she should be doing. You are talking about an intelligent young woman who does what she wants to do. My President inherited more problems than any other president before him. These major problems were left to him because President Bush and other did not want that Black family in the white house. The house that was built by Black Slaves.

I agree with Anisa - in the next few months, Michelle Obama needs to make good on her pledge to help military families and veterans.
This is an outstanding issue to focus on, and focus is desperately needed NOW,for military families and veterans. While it is obvious she genuinely feels strongly about this issue, Michelle Obama needs to focus, get things done - and deliver on her pledge to give our Daily Heroes simply what they deserve.

Mrs. Obama said she had never really thought about military families before, and she probably doesn't know anyone who knows anyone who has served. That is okay; lots of ivy-leaguers don't know anything about the military. However, as a part of a military family of decorated and honored veterans, I hope that she will follow through on her pledge to help them. Visiting, reading, hugging, do nothing. Let her actually do something concrete, and we will believe the hype we keep hearing just a little more. I really want her to succeed in this area, because all the fashions, story-reading, thanking people, is just so much photo-op. We need real help, which requires effort. Personally, I don't see where the Obamas have ever worked hard, outside of campaigning.

True inspiration!

I DID NOT SEE ANY THING WHAT YOU CAN CONSIDER A GREAT EXAMPLES ABOUT FIRST LADY...ALL RETORICS...YES, A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HER CLOVES, SHOES ....IN MY OPINION,IT IS NOT ENOUTH ABOUT A PERSON WHO GRADUETED FROM THE ELITE SCHOOLS....SHE NEEDS TO SELECT ONE IMPORTANT TOPIC FOR OUR TIME AND WORK ON IT...MAY BE, TO IMPROVE AN INTELLECTUAL LEVEL OF AMERICANS WHICH IS VERY LOW ON COMPARISSON WITH EUROPIENS...

I love everything about our first lady,
she is charming, fun loving and super intellegent, also a classy dresser and a beautiful black woman in every sense of the word. The best wife and mother any family could ever want.

It's hard for me to believe there aren't any comments denigrating the first lady. I'm so used to the wingnuts taking every opportunity to sow their hatred. It makes me wonder where they are. Why are they hiding? I've seen so much of their bile. I can't trust them to be silent. Maybe we're turning a corner.
