One of the things that attracted me to Barack was his emotional honesty. Right off the bat he said what he felt. There are no games with himโhe is who he appears to be. I feel fortunate as a woman to have a husband who loves me and shows me in every way.
Michel'leWe have this window of opportunity; we have a chance to make something real happen. Something possible happen, to live beyond our fear, think about that, and help us. Help lift us up, help us fight this fight to change, - transform - this country in a fundamental way. This chance won't come around again.
Michel'leItโs easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. Thatโs America. So the challenge for us is, are we ready for change?
Michel'leThere is still a lot of hard work that we as a country need to do. They can't look to any one individual, whether it's Barack or it's the next new hope that's going to appear to be that savior.
