Obama criticizes the right-wing media for negative attacks on his wife.
It always baffles me why the media chose to attack Michelle, who is in my opinion all-caps AWESOME. I love her. She’s smart, hard-working, well-spoken, and very cool. She has accomplished so much in her life, and I feel she is someone I can really admire and respect. Currently, she’s on a short list of amazing female role models. Even on her own merits, I feel she needs no defending. She’s an incredible lady.
However, the fact that she has gotten so much flack, while Cindy McCain has received none, is what really galls me. Cindy McCain, who was born an heiress to a beer fortune, who ran around with a man who was married and had children, and who as a privileged adult became a prescription drug addict…and you want to sling mud at Michelle Obama? I’m not saying Cindy McCain is a bad person at all or that she deserves anywhere near the kind of criticism Michelle has received in the media…but if she doesn’t deserve it, then Michelle certainly doesn’t. Just my two cents.
