Yep! As we all know, America will be changed in some subtle yet fundamental ways in the next four to eight.

Just reading this now, but must concur with all the sentiments expressed here. Just saw Barack and Michelle on 60 Minutes, and cannot even fully explain how thrilling it is to have a loving, intelligent Black couple out there day after day as a counter to so much of the dysfunctional and negative images (and realities) in the media and in our worlds.

Oh, Todd …. thank you so much for bearing witness to this and for writing it publicly for all to acknowledge. This is perhaps the most beautifully written piece I’ve read in a long, long time. Perhaps because I’ve noticed each and every one of those nuances too; perhaps it resonates in me because I know it’s true and yes, this is indeed what every woman — especially every black woman — would want, given the chance. That deep inner knowing that you are loved, cherished, adored, admired, trusted … must I go on? And this is where the feminist movement – dare I say it? – sold women a bill of goods. Michelle epitomizes the full range of womanhood for me and countless others. A womanhood that does not need to be “either, or.”

Thank you for saying what has not yet been said in mainstream media …. I am sharing this with my friends.
