I WANT this woman to be our next first lady:
Please take a moment to read this article in the NY Times:
Michelle Obama Looks for New Introduction
A quote in this article really resonated with me:
“I looked out at my neighborhood and sort of had an epiphany that I had to bring my skills to bear in the place that made me,” she says in the interview. “I wanted to have a career motivated by passion and not just money.”
So many of us say that, but for a variety of reasons, lack of opportunity, lack of motivation, fear of failure, keep us rooted in jobs that will bring in the paycheck, but not the joy. I applaud her for doing just that - creating a career that helped the disadvantaged. Realistically, she wasn't completely altruistic; she also wanted to earn a living...and she did it in the smartest way - when you do what you love, the money often follows.
Did anyone watch Gore's announcement of his endorsement of Obama? I've been an Al Gore fan for years - I voted for him in 2000, and I supported him in his mid-80's run when he lost to that firecracker Dukakis (groan, groan, groan). I'm a little disappointed that he won't be actively campaigning for Obama, but I understand why - 2000 did in his taste for partisan political activities. But wouldn't he make a spectacular head of the Department of Energy?

Yes on all counts.
Man, I would love to hand-pick that entire cabinet. They would be like a team of super heroes.
*fingers crossed*
