First Lady in Waiting Michelle Obama-Fist Bumps, Please!
June 19, 2008 · Filed Under Not Exactly Gospel Music Related · Comment
Did you see Michelle Obama on the View yesterday? She looked beautiful in her sleeveless black and white dress, didn’t she? I tuned in and I thought it was a great show. I’m very proud of Michelle, not only as a Black woman but as a woman in general. She always looks beautiful, she’s dedicated to her children and husband, and she has an aura of calmness and control about her. I think she would make an excellent First Lady because she’s intelligent and opinionated in her own right.
Some tidbits from the show:
- On the "fist bump" controversy-"It is now my signature bump. But let me tell you, I’m not that hip. I got this from the young staff. That’s the new high-five."
- She doesn’t wear pantyhose because they are uncomfortable.
- When asked if Barack gave her any advice before coming on the show, she said he just told her to "be nice."
- Her parents worked very hard to put her and her brother through Princeton.
- She wears her heart on her sleeve and she’s counting on people to take the time to get to know the real her.
- The one thing that keep her and Barack grounded are their two daughters.
- She didn’t want Barack to run for president.
