Michelle Obama WILL BE the most liberated first lady
Though the fact that Michelle Obama is a sharp professional lady conjures up memories of Hillary in the 90s, she's got an unambiguous and frank way about her that Hillary has never had. You know how she feels about things because she will tell you if you ask her. How refreshing!
I also like her "first lady pet project." Instead of focusing on issues that look good in the papers, like literacy or some vague anti-drug campaign, Michelle has stated that she will be drawing attention to something that actually concerns me: finding a better work-life balance for overworked and underpaid American workers. It was hearing her saying this during an interview with NPR that actually got me seriously considering Barack for president.
That said, if Hillary hadn't blazed the trail, a woman like Michelle Obama would be crucified today. I'll give credit where credit is due.
