Quote:
Wouldn’t it be something if Michelle Obama, not the Rev. Jeremiah Wright or John McCain, was the reason Barack Obama loses the presidency?
Instead of “change,” the First Lady-in-waiting is sticking with old hurts held closely by certain black communities, long caught in the quagmire of resentment.

Quote:
They are those who relish the pain suffered by their slave forefathers and mothers. They revisit, over and over, what was; hurts, carefully protected, harbored as badges of honor. They cling to a state of mind, more significant than embracing the privileges of the American dream; dreams fulfilled by the Obamas themselves, who are certain that their road up was tougher than any white, brown or Asian person ever traveled.
None of us on this land are responsible for what happened to their kin, but they don’t care. They marinate in crippling history. Why? The reasons reek of the psychology of it all. As long as struggle is someone else’s fault, then blame belongs to those other than the great-great-great-grandchildren of slaves.

Turley-Hansen: Michelle Obama’s guilt trip | Voices | eastvalleytribune.com
That's an interesting view. If Michelle doesn't learn to shut her pie hole, smile more, talk less, she could become a liability to Barak. In this connection, she could learn a lot from Cindy McCain and even Mrs. Clinton on how to best help your husband get elected.
