Where It's Needed

I have been a supporter of Mrs. Obama so far. Like her husband in the past I think some people have been to critical of her. But just like the president, it is time for an accounting. Since everything she says and does gains so much attention. It's high time she uses that stage to draw some attention to something really important.

I didn't hold it against her when she tried to put the country on a diet. Even though she has a liking for barbecue ribs and soul food herself. I understood where she was coming from. Her campaign was directed at a young culture who has more gut than butt. Which will eventually more than likely have associated health risks. Which goes hand in hand with health care reform. In spite of what some would say. She has room to talk. Junk in the trunk isn't the same as being overweight.

Michelle Obama has said practically nothing about the disease (Multiple Sclerosis)from which her late father suffered. He was the catalyst for all the successes she now enjoys. He worked and sent both her and her brother to school while her mother remained a housewife. Not so very long ago the president himself lived in his house also. I think it's kind of selfish on both their parts not to acknowledge his hardship. Michelle more so than Barack. Society is already preoccupied with losing weight. When it comes to finding cures for less known diseases. That's not the case. Add your voice where it's needed.
