Michelle Obama Is A Elegant Sophisticate Who Will Make A Wonderful First Lady!

Well,you guys,it's almost official! Barack Obama will be inaugurated tomorrow. I can't wait & I'll be at a little party witnessing a truly historical moment in world history. It feels so good to have the person I voted for get sworn in. And that gets magnified by the fact that he is African-American.

Michelle Obama will become our first black First Lady.I really admire this elegant,beautiful sophisticate.She will bring more than style & glamour to her role as First Lady.There is no doubt in my mind that she will bring great wisdom & intellect to the forefront as well.But,according to this article from Politico,some folks are wondering just what type of black woman she is.How will she represent for the sistas? Here's more on the speculation out there from Politico:

"African-American women say she’ll upend age-old stereotypes of the angry black woman who can’t find a good man, or keep him when she does.

The one person who hasn’t really weighed in is Michelle Obama. And it’s got the cottage industry of people who pay close attention to the president’s wife – the historians, the cultural mavens, the social scene-setters — frankly a little confused.

That uncertainty, some say, relates to race – put simply, Obama is like no other famous black woman who came before her. She’s not a single workaholic like Condoleezza Rice. She’s not from the entertainment world like Beyonce. She’s famous, but in an entirely different way than, say, Oprah.

“I think that black women will constantly have to translate and explain who Michelle Obama is, I have heard people say that they don’t know any black women like her and she seems to be so aggressive, and why does she downplay her career and talk about being a mom so much,” said Beverly Guy-Sheftall, a women’s studies professor at Spelman College.

“She is going to be hyper visible and having always to explain what she means. But there is always the possibility that Michelle will get constructed as an atypical black women, like Condi, and people think that she is so special and so different that we can’t even think about her as a black women. We hope that doesn’t happen.”(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17640.html
