Michelle Obama has showed us what we can look forward to in a First Spouse (better get used to that term--Hillary will come back with a vengeance in 2016).
Grace, intelligence, convictions and purpose, but also an understanding of the separation of roles required. It will Barack's task to lead us out of the morass of Bushism. Michelle (and Sasha and Malia) will be there to inspire us during the journey.
And inspire they did! It made me go over and give my own sweet daughter an extra hug before bedtime. The Obamas are the people most of us want to be; loving, accomplished, and committed to higher ideals.
They will be a magnificent First Couple.
And that news is plenty big to deserve front page treatment on Salon. Kudos to the editor who made the decision to kick this story to the lead!
