God forbid a woman with an incredible education also have wit and a sense of humor. Burn her at the stake!
Listen, Mrs. Obama IS the WOMAN of the future, which is what Sen. Clinton doesn't understand. We are the women of the FUTURE. We are funny, witty, and caustic, WITH personality. We are also mothers and independent wives (not co-dependent wanna-be-feminists). We make breakfast for our husbands and do the laundry and we also expect dinner to be made FOR us. We have our own careers and we are equals with our partners. We nurse our babies and clean up dirt dragged in by our soccer-playing sons. We wear stilletos with lingerie.
Are we threatening? Hell yeah. And we would have it no other way.
Mrs. Obama, Michelle, you go, girl!
