We sure do hope that newly inaugurated President Barack Obama will do what hurts the fewest Americans while he works on getting our terrible economy back into a healthy condition - something that his speech today was laced with. But what I want to talk about today is how he and his wife were marketed as a very together married couple - a dynamic duo - and the way Michelle let it be known that her being a mother to those two smiling little girls is her priority. (Of course Hilary Clinton had to emphasize her motherhood too...) Maybe this is how political candidates and wives of - first lady candidates have to talk to (What Should We Call It? Middle America?) to get elected. No doubt the cute daughters who love their daddy helped elect Obama and we will see lots of photo-op of the good family man and husband in the next four years. Maybe, Obama will even leave the White House in four years untarnished with personal scandle in a way President Bill Clinton could never. I certainly hope so. If y ou're going to be married let's hope it's happy.
BUT I'M WONDERING WHEN A PRESIDENT WHO IS NEVER MARRIED AND NO KIDS - COMPLETELY CAREER ORIENTED - WILL EVER BE ELECTED. The truth is those of us who do not get married and do not have children are looked upon as not as dependable and reliable. The typical NMNK is suspected of somehow goofing up when it comes to their personal life. Unless maybe, the NMNK has a vow to GOD through a religious order.
