Michelle Obama's sacrifice

It had to be hard for the high-achieving candidate's wife to give up her career -- and I'm in a feminist fury about it.

    Somehow I think Michelle Obama will be okay

    And somehow I think the situation with the Obamas are a rare exception to a complex issue. Debra Dickerson raises good points about feminism, marriage and race yet somehow I have the feeling, given her past columns, she's going after the sensational hot button topics more then anything else. I suppose that's her job as a columnist yet continual obsession with Barack Obama makes one wonder about her agenda or if she's simply working through her own issues here.
