Michelle Obama

[Bazile]

I thought twice about posting this ( given the usual responses by some on AB) , when it comes to topics , involving 'people of colour '

Lets see if this can be any different , and we can have a civilised discussion .

The spotlight has always been on first ladies , however i think it's true to say that in Michelle Obama's case , it has shone more intensely than previous incumbants , for obvious reasons .

All credit to her she has tried to be different, from what is normally expected by the establishment - and good on her for that .

What's your opinion of her stay in the WH - should she just have towed the traditional line and kept quiet in the background ?

Yo continue... Normal productive life like other presidential children. It can't be an easy job; you're a democratic princess for four or eight years then nothing, but they seem to do okay. Didn't Truman threaten to disembowel the critic who dissed his daughter's piano playing?

Such short memories some of you have. Nancy Reagan used astrology to guide Ron's increasingly bizarre behaviour.

Then of course there was Bill Clinton's wife. What ever became of her?

I think she's had a ball.

She's not just a pretty face - a qualified lawyer

That's right, I'd entirely forgotten the astrology, Canary.
