"How sad that, in order for a black family to prevail -- because Michelle and the girls were all running for office, not just Barack -- they had to sublimate their blackness like crazy, starting with the visuals. Michelle's ethnic butt might have snuck under the radar, but an ethnic do wouldn't have stood a chance."
You know, you make it sound like these people deliberately "disguised" themselves for their entire adult lives in order to get to the White House and the rest of the world didn't know they are black! "Oh yeah, they be black. They just acting like they white for the white folks." You would probably be depressed to learn their's wasn't an act.
I would bet there will be few changes with either of their attire, hair, and make-up after January 2009. And it won't be to please the white folk. It will be because THEIR preference to look, act, and dress as they do.
I can understand your pride. But, girl, you are delirious.
