The election I most clearly remember of my youth was that of when I was 11-12. I remember Bill Clinton’s dream team. I had a crush on both George Stephanopoulos and James Carville. And I liked the slogan I often heard “Two for the price of one” referring to Bill and Hillary. Now, as I get excited about Barack, I wonder why no one ever says that with Barack we get Michelle, two for the price of one, no?
Michelle Obama is an independent strong woman. Her education is solid with her bachelors from
We applaud barrack Obama for his accomplishments. Who would have ever thought a black man had a realistic chance of becoming president? Who would have ever thought that a black man could win the
Who would’ve thought Hillary could show her self to be a strong force to be reckoned with in the ol’ boys club? Who would’ve thought she could still stand strong as a politician on her own two feet after being knocked down so many times?
Michelle has demonstrated her ability as a lawyer, as an advocate, as a community organizer, as a mother, as a black woman who went through the aristocratic hoops of an education, political, and social system that has fought so long to keep both women and minorities out. She is someone who has fought through the glass ceiling in ways that Barack never did as a man, and Hillary never did as white. If Michelle is diplomatic and strong enough to successfully weave in and out so many places why aren’t we saying, “two for the price of one” ?
Why aren’t we screaming “TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!”?
We aren’t screaming two for one w/ Michelle & Barack because of the demonization of black woman. They have been called welfare queens, hookers and hos, Aunt Jemimas, etc. For many, it is hard to fathom a black woman, other than Oprah, achieving greatness.
I’m glad that he’s married to a woman like Michelle. She is accomplished in her own right, and she seems to have her priorities straight.
I know people who like Barack even more because of Michelle. I don’t remember that slogan. However, I do think it’s really cool that Michelle Obama may one day be the first lady.
with a black couple even I might vote. hey, but how’s your life? (se que soy chismoso)
