The Best Role/Job for Michelle Obama
I'm so patently sick of the "plastic" projects that are selected by equally "plastic" first ladies--most of whom just fade into the wallpaper and nobody even knows what the hell they look like for 4 to 8 years! Michelle's greatest contribution is teaching America how to parent. Unfortunately, there are so many people who have no clue how to do that job. With her, it just oozes out wherever she is with her kids and/or with other kids. Her example (which is not a contrived PR stunt)is going to be a tremendous teaching tool and actually beneficial to the nation. She can teach the self-rightous "family values" crowd how to actually value family and other human beings. Keep up the good work.

1. She's a real person and not just a pretentious cardboard facade/figurehead
I'm not sure teaching the so-called "family values" crowd anything is possible, even for Michelle. They seem hellbent on willful ignorance.

2. I get that feeling to.
She falls gently into this role. It is comforting to see.
