MarvalusOne Icon: Michelle Obama

You know, I like Michelle…I like her “stand by my man” attitude, I like the fact that she puts her family before anything (except for God), and I like the fact that she is beautiful and tall and clearly loves her husband. I can dig anyone who stands up for their man, but for Michelle Obama to do it on a national stage for the past year or so is noteworthy. But don’t get it twisted…Michelle is her own woman. She has her own mind, her own thoughts, and she’s very protective. Step across the line and see what happens.

Michelle LaVaugn Robinson Obama was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. She projects the image of the friend that listens and gives good advice…not the kind that tells you what you want to hear, but the one that is honest with you and tells you what you need to hear. She is not the type to mince words, as you should know if you have listened at all to her speak on the campaign trail for her husband. She also has a very dry, but witty, sense of humor that takes some getting used to, but keeps you on your toes.

This is a woman that I added to my list of Icons because she is unrelenting in her belief in her husband. I think she honestly and truly believes that he is the right man to lead this country. Listening to her speak on the decision for her husband to run, Michelle speaks passionately about why she gave her approval…

I envision a White House with this woman as First Lady that is full of love and compassion…I envision Michelle bringing women’s and children’s issues to the forefront with her forceful speaking and brilliant mind. I hope for the day that I see Michelle and her husband and their two beautiful daughters on the White House lawn, soaking in the atmosphere of being the First Family, bringing a change to the nation that is needed and welcomed…

Peace and blessings…
