The Ultimate Come-up


I don't want to play the race card here, but I'm afraid this will be perceived as such anyway. Every little brown skin girl who felt she was overlooked for anything in life, for a lighter skinned girl with long pretty hair. Will gain a sense of vindication if Barack Obama wins. They have a personal stake in Michelle Obama becoming the first lady. Not just the fact that she is black, but that she is married to a intelligent, successful, biracial (black) man. That is also a loving father to his children. It gives them the chance to dream. I first said this when Oprah Winfrey endorsed Barack Obama. I heard it again in the voice of a woman earlier today. She let America know regardless of how you look, we need every body's vote. I wonder how Oprah's endorsement would have came across if it had been Halle Berry or Tyra Banks?

They might look like the average couple, but that's all though. Lately that's not true either. If you wore Armani suits and custom gowns designed just for you. You and your spouse would look good too.Their children go to the finest private schools and play with other rich children in their neighborhood. Michelle makes $385,000 a year and she works part-time. They live in a $1.5 million house and attend $10 thousand a plate dinners.They both are practicing lawyers who graduated from Ivy league schools. As if that's not enough. The taxpayers paid for their educations. This is a storybook couple. Don't give the people the impression that this is simply the rewards of burning the midnight oil by itself. He has and will be used by people with hidden agendas. They have made some shady associations that have come back to haunt him. Unrepentant terrorist, Planned Parenthood and crooked developers. This has more to do with being in the right place at the right time, and playing the hand that you've been dealt. Whether you agree with them or not. You have to give them credit. From being virtually unheard of four years ago to being the most famous man in the world now. This is the ultimate come-up.
