Your wording on the title needs to be fixed. As it is, you make it sound like Michelle is influencing Barack's decisions on things, which is untrue. What is true is that Michelle wants to be more vocal & involved in getting out his message & agendas. Big difference.

She's not doing anything different from what other First Ladys did.
Pick an area and try to make your mark.

At least she is not running the country as Nancy did. Anyone that thinks the wife of a President does not have a major influence is a fool or has never been married.

Thanks for the clarification. I've learned better than to ever click on a Newsmax link -- it's such a twisted piece of garbage rag.

It wasn't Nancy - It was her astrologer.

Hitler had one too.

We had to hire astrologers to predict what Hitler's were prognosticating.

The same thing happened during ancient times.

Do YOU have a good astrologer?

I'm sure Michelle is more down to Earth.

Welll, I read that link then I read an article in today's paper just so I would know what was going on. The OP's title is misleading.

Yeah with her $570 shoes that she wears to shelters to pass out food in. She is very down to earth!

You guys DO realize that is a role of a First Lady, is it not? That's what they do, they promote their own programs or charities that they support & they also promote their husbands agenda. It's really not that hard to understand, yet the spin keeps coming. Very interesting.
