What would she do as First Lady? It's a question she gets all the time now. Yet it's not one she ventures to answer in any detail. She is interested in issues women face balancing work and home, and in lowering barriers that keep poor students from college. "There are a ton of things. It's endless what you can do in the White House," she says. "But until I get there and know what kind of resources I'll have and how much time and what's the agenda of the country, I think, truthfully, I don't know which of these many things I can focus on."

humble beginnings and that dont make her any more special than any body on here . i grew up in a family of 11 . my mom raised the 4 youngest by her self . maybe not lawyers , that is not what we wanted to be. most of that time in a 2 b. r. we all do pretty well .

I grew up on a 35 acre farm and house only had 2 bedrooms and we had water from an underground spring, and my mother had no dryer, she had to hang clothes on a clothesline outside in summer, in basement in winter. She baked our bread, no storebought bread, made my clothes. Do I come from humbleness?

My 73 year old mother got addicted to pain killers prescribed for her fibromyalgia. Are you saying MY MOTHER is not a good person and did not care?

MY oh MY Mirror, you have really been crossing the line into slander. Careful my friend. You may end up eating your words. What goes around comes around.

Not even close Lindy!

A- 35 acres is doing pretty good!
B- Like me you are White
C- I remember black and white tv, no washing machine or dryer too. Few in those days had them!
D- The same thing with the bread and clothes! Although we did buy 4 outfits a year, we had to travel 40 miles to get them and only got new ones once a year!

For the times Id say you had a pretty normal and very good life!

sick John McCains wife is a coke head and a thief noway


flowerforyou Michele Obama is a successful Christian woman.flowerforyou

flowerforyou Cindy Mccain doesnt even come close to Michele Obama flowerforyou


MirrorMirror, my dear friend, be carefull of the name calling, you are definitely in slander territory.

Excuse me, but Cindy McCain is an extremely successful business woman, more so than the Obama woman, and she is a millionaire thanks to her intellect and success. WHERE do you get your information?

Christian? Not by what my Bible says.noway

She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and inherited everything she has!
She has never worried about paying an electric bill, Rent, or juggling paychecks to make ends meet!
She has no idea what the common Americans life is like!

At least Obama and his wife act like real people. You don't see them looking around for the camera to make sure someone gets a picture of them. All the other politicians make their public interactions with their spouses look staged.



On NPR, it was reported the two women wearing head scarfs were asked to move out from behind Mr. Obama during a event where photographs were being taken. It was felt that the women would infer a Muslim support of Obama, or that he aligns himself with that.
