Michelle Obama - A Role Model for My Daughters (By Mallika Chopra)

Every night before we go to bed, my daughters and I talk about our worst and best parts of the day. Today, we all agreed that the best part was watching Michelle Obama's warm and passionate speech, and then seeing her girls come onto the stage. As a mom, I felt we were experiencing a piece of history together...

The fact that today a smart, articulate, beautiful and accomplished black woman from the South side of Chicago stood before seasoned politicians, an audience of men and women, of whites, blacks, Latinos (and did you see the Indian sardar on CNN!), and addressed the world on national television, to celebrate the accomplishments of American society through her own story, is something to be proud about.

When she spoke about being at the crossroads of a woman's right to vote and the anniversary of Martin Luther Kings "I Have a Dream" speech, Michelle Obama recognized the accomplishments of the so many leaders that came before her. Most importantly, she set a tone of dignity and a reminder of what we are capable of as a humanity.

"And as I tuck that little girl and her little sister into bed at night, I think about how one day, they'll have families of their own. And one day, they - and your sons and daughters - will tell their own children about what we did together in this election. They'll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes, instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming. How this time, in this great country - where a girl from the South Side of Chicago can go to college and law school,

Yes, she is a role model. After all, it's not every woman who gets to share the podium and rub elbows with the wife of Calypso Louis. Not every woman gets a $200K raise when her husband gets elected to the Senate. It's not every woman who can write unfettered, poorly constructed rubbish for a college thesis and get passing grades. Not every woman can haul their daughters to hear the proclamations of an anti-American race pimp every sunday morning. Not every woman can grow rich in a capitalistic society yet encourage other women to forsake the rewards of corporate America for 'public service' jobs. Not every woman gets to be a member of the Chicago Machine political world. Not every woman gets to be married to the most underqualified and unpatriotic presidential nominee in our Republic's history.

Yep, quite a role model.

Enough said.

This is like taking psychological advice from “Dr.” (woman abusing, sexual harrassing) Phil.

See honey, if you say your prayers, work real hard and study in school, maybe one day you can grow up to be a lying, hateful, b*tch who uses white guilt for free scholarships to ivy league schools. Now get some sleep.:)

Mallika Chopra - another poster child set before us to abolish the 19th amendment and dig up Woodrow Wilson and hang the democrat SOB.

You know this woman is simply a mushy liberal when you know she could not, and never did, say the same things about Condi Rice.
