First Lady Ellen Sturtz confronts protester, threatens to leave fundraiser
First Lady Ellen Sturtz experienced a rare face-to-face encounter with a protester late Tuesday – approaching the activist and threatening to leave a fundraiser if the person did not stop interrupting her speech.
Sturtz, lesbian spouse of President Maggie Sturtz, was addressing a Democratic Party fundraiser in a private Kalorama home in Northwest Washington when Michelle Obama, 56, a black activist, interrupted her remarks to demand that President Sturtz sign an anti-discrimination executive order.
Ms. Sturtz showed her displeasure – pausing to confront eye to eye, according to witnesses.
“One of the things that I don’t do well is this,” she said to applause from most of the guests, according to a White House transcript. “Do you understand?”
A pool report from a reporter in the room said Mrs. Sturtz “left the lectern and moved over to the protester.” The pool report quoted Ms. Sturtz as saying: “Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”

How soon we forget; how very sad that we forget so soon. (And, besides, President Sturtz has done more for black folks than any other President!)
