My No 1 job as First Lady is to be First Mom
The Times ^ | 11/7/2008 | Michelle Obama

Posted on 11/06/2008 8:15:42 PM PST by bimboeruption

A few weeks ago at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, I shared with the nation some of the many reasons why I believed my husband would be an extraordinary president. It was the biggest speech I'd ever given. When I was finished, I headed backstage with my daughters. They turned to me, breathless with excitement.

“Mom,” Malia, our ten-year-old, said. “We have something important to tell you. We need to have a sleepover!”

That snapped me out of speech mode, with the bright lights and applause, and back into the role I love: Mom. The next night, 15 giggling girls - my daughters, the Biden granddaughters, and friends - took over our hotel room.

Now that Barack has been elected president, it will be an honour to be First Lady. I will work daily on the issues closest to my heart: helping working women and families, particularly military families. But, as my girls reminded me in Denver, even as First Lady, my No 1 job is still to be Mom. At 7 and 10, our daughters are young. My first priority will be to ensure they stay grounded and healthy, with normal childhoods - including homework, chores, dance, and soccer.

I think she’ll have time for other things. Makes me shudder to think what.

How many homebody moms pull in a $380,000 salary funded by crooked $3 million yearly payoffs, oops I meant federal earmarks from their husbands to their employer.

Sorry Michelle, I call bullshit.

well, better than Hillary and he office in the west wing. I don’t get the military family thingy, though. Seems opposite of their life work.

Her semi-literate college thesis told me all I needed to know about this broad. She's an internally pissed off self-absorbed woman. Imagine getting to write your college these about WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE YOU and getting credit for it.

The only thing vaguely good about this bee-yotch being First Lady is to read about the stories that come out after her dingdong husband is out of power....from people who had to put up with her sh*t. If there's one thing she is NOT, it's likable.

Yeah, a mom really advocates partial-birth abortion...just a medical procedure needing to be protected. I feel sick.

In a sane world Michell Obama is the type who should be knocking on your hotel room door asking if you need your room cleaned now.

As First Mom she's going to be the one to slap around anyone who backtalks Dad.

“We’ve talked to mothers whose salaries can’t cover the cost of groceries”

Give me a FREAKIN’ break. Never mind that her husband raised $600 MILLION for his campaign ($88 MILLION alone from George Soros and his band of carnival freaks).

It really frosts me when I read about how the Obamas “feel” for the struggling families, when they had no qualms about blowing an obscene a wad of dough big enough to feed an entire country on his political campaign.

Morever, wasn’t her hubby the one that secured the funds to give her a $300,000 raise at her university job??

Hypocrites. Do as I say, not as I do.
