3. I was incredibly lucky

to raise two sons in the 8 year Obama Presidency. My oldest was about 12, my youngest around 10 when he was elected. Obama was exactly the kind of male role model I wanted for my sons. We talked about him constantly. Many discussions about life, family, goals, community, and women included Obama as an example of who they wanted to aspire to be.

Michelle Obama could be this for our girls.

This horrible family in the White House right now is most certainly doing unseen damage to the hearts and minds of young children. It's so sad.
