A Letter TO Michelle Obama

Who knows if she sent it but I'm afraid I'd feel embarrassed for her if she did since she really has her facts mixed up! To begin with, Michelle made that out of context comment during the campaign, actually fairly EARLY in the campaign before her husband was even the official nominee, NOT the day he was elected. I'm also more than a little offended when anyone claims to know why those of us who voted for President Obama did so! Who is this woman to say he was elected because of the color of his skin? I know I'm going to really "get it" here, Deb, but please bear with me and don't get mad or take it personally. To be honest, things like this actually make me feel ashamed of and embarrassed by some of the people in my country. I mean, anyone who voted FOR Obama is supposed to be fine with being accused of only doing so to somehow "prove" they're not racists while at the same time if anyone dares suggest that SOME of those who hate the President and everything he stands for may have some racist feelings we get trashed for even thinking such a thing. You know what made me PROUD of my country back during the 2008 campaign? I was proud that we had an African American, a woman and a Hispanic among those vying for the nomination of a major party and that it came down to being between the first two NOT because of their "minority" status but because people liked what they heard from them and seemed to be getting past their prejudices. I was actually proud that the GOP VP nominee was a woman for the first time in history, never mind that Palin herself ended up being a tremendous disappointment on so many levels. By the way, that was something else I found offensive, that some within the Republican party seemed to think women who had supported Hillary Clinton would hop on board with McCain/Palin just because of her gender. We'll have to agree to disagree again but I happen to like Michelle a lot. I've actually liked all of our First Ladies that I can remember and I have to give them ALL a great deal of credit for what they have to endure. Can you even imagine what it must feel like to be the first African American First Lady and to have to hear and read yourself described as "angry" all the time, no matter what you do or how you REALLY act? Heck, may she sometimes IS an "angry black woman" because of certain Republican Senators whose goal it is to "break" her husband! Annie

The president of the United States, and his wife Michelle get wagon loads of personal mail every day. What makes you think this silly letter would standout enough to even be noticed by the Obama's? Its quite ok for you to be ashamed of your country ( Most Canadian's are ashamed of the US too) but please try to put yourself in prospective. Its going to take millions of like minded people to get the US back on track, and Romney is not one of these!

Wow. It would be nice to think that she sent it. She might have, but the chances of Michelle Obama actually reading it are less than me winning the lottery (and I don't buy lottery tickets). I wish she would. I wish she would be forced to read it from beginning to end.

I don't think she did, because it seems anymore if you speak your mind, they don't take kindly to it. We are losing our free speech and I really think she would have gotten a response or visit, that she would not want.

She probably sent it but it won't be read--if you want anyone in government to read anything you have to keep it to just a few lines and to the point. I disagree with her on one thing--he wasn't elected because of his race, although that did probably help seal the deal. Obama was elected because the American public is so stupid and lazy that they refuse to think for themselves and latched onto his "hope and change"--they didn't examine it so didn't realize he said nothing of substance, just repeated the same tired speech over and over with a few minor changes. He didn't outline his plans for recovery and progress, just made empty promises and repeated his mantra. I'm ashamed that so many of my fellow Americans will follow someone with charisma and empty promises like a flock of sheep and keep on bleating all the way to the slaughterhouse. Many of them will vote for him again, figuring a socialist society is better than having to think or fight and less freedom is acceptable in exchange for more security. Obama did not win because he is black. He won because America has become a nation of sheep, a celebrity-driven society that grabs anything trendy and hangs on for dear life as long as they don't have to think, analyze or make decisions.

I would love to believe that she not only sent it but delivered it personally. It is the gist of what many, many Americans are thinking today. What a joke our president is!

..a little humor there at the end (of the letter) It was a very good letter, but I can't help thinking that whether it was sent or not will make absolutely no difference.. I'm sure Mrs. Obama is very proud of her husband and also herself and if she read the letter would quite easily dismiss any of its claims..

I usually do not follow links in discussions. I did this one. I hope she sent it, but it may be that it will reach more people and even Michelle this way. I know that things are very wrong right now, and I am hoping to see that it will be turned around before it is too late.

That is a great letter and I believe that a lot of Americans feel the same. I agree with most of your responders that even if she did send it, it would not have reached the intended target.

I don't think it matters if she did send it. I doubt Michelle received it. She probably has staff to weed through her letters and remove those that are unfavorable as long as they're not threatening.

Hi Deb, If the letter was sent, there is no telling that Michelle actually received it.. the letter might have been tossed out or filed for later use.. like if there were ever some plan to 'pay her back' they could maybe set her up to take the fall for something.. these people embrace terrorism from everything I've seen. They hide it fairly well from people who love him because he is the first black president. He's there in office because the consensus is that if you are against Obama you are against blacks.. not true.. just against anyone who doesn't support our country. He wants to tear it down from the inside. Michelle is a beautiful woman who gets a lot of attention. It's hard to even say anything bad about her because she seems to pure. If I were a Democrat I would probably adore her.

Before I comment I want to see if it's working.. hasn't worked all weekend for me.
