Wonder if she tells her daughters to follow the same advice. She at least could have said, "we may not be perfect, but we need to win."

I agree with you. Not that the message per say is bad. But the partisan message itself. A person should always vote their conscious , and vote for the good of the Country.

A person whom has their own mind, has the ability to understand who to vote for, and for the good of the Country as a whole.

Actually no, they tend to be smart and play whichever party is going to line their pocket instead of just vote for one side no matter what.

Just look at Exxon for example in 2008....McCain got the 3rd most money from them....behind Obama and Clinton.

If you think that only the republicans cater to the "corporate white guys", you've been willfully ignorant to history.

I mean holy crap, Obama made the Monsanto CEO the head of the FDA! You don't know about this stuff?

Barack also put the CEO of GE in charge of energy policy.

I doubt if the CEO of Google, FaceBook, Amazon voted for the GOP.

If what you say was true, maybe it's because political democrats are the ones that do the thinking for black people and need to tell black people how to think and how to vote, which is what Michelle did.

It's the democrats that treat black people as if they are too stupid to think for themselves. If someone has been around long enough and doesn't understand and learned that democrats have been the worst enemy of the black people, then they are just plain stupid.

93% of the Blacks in Texas voted for Davis. She's a progressive that cares about abortion and guns.
But she's D and that's all that seems to matter.

So the Blacks in Texas did follow Michelle's advice..vote for D no matter what.
