Would Michelle Obama have married a sexist?
Do people honestly think that a woman like Michelle would have married, and stay married, to a sexist?

1. Is someone saying her husband is sexist? If so why?

4. Hell no.
From what I've seen she looks like someone who would kick the crap out of a one.

8. Not hardly - she actually had him jumping through hoops to win her...
It's not likely she'd put up with sexism.

9. Sometimes you don't really know
a person until after you are married. Not to say he's a sexist.

12. Yeah, she probably hates him now.
That's why they went on to have 2 kids and are obviously still very much in love.

:eyes:

10. Good Question
You know she dogs him on the campaign trail, yes? It's her way of making him seem more "human" when she talks about how he snores and stinks in the morning and won't pick up his socks. Then there's this cute exchange:

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/politics&id=6151362

Michelle Obama actually overruled her husband while on "GMA" when they were asked whether their two daughters had yet to get the dog they were promised.

She said they had agreed to get the dog a year from now, while her husband said they will have "a year to test whether they are sufficiently responsible..."

But Michelle Obama cut him off, sayingy, "They are responsible."

He tried again by saying "Whether they are going to be responsible in the middle of winter to go walk that dog."

"We're getting a dog," his wife said flatly.

"When it's cold outside," Obama persisted.

His wife looked into the camera and said to their kids, "You guys are getting a dog."

When the presidential candidate again asked who would be walking the dog, the potential first lady replied, "You will. You will all be walking the dog."

"OK. All right," Obama conceded.


On the surface it's like a Thursday night sitcom and all cute; strip the humor away and she just overruled his veto - on national television. So, yeah, I could see where a guy in that situation might turn around and get payback elsewhere.
