Yeah, great article. But compare Michele Obama's "I'm not asking for a hand out, I'm asking for an opportunity" type of both feminism and racism to Palin's. I don't think you can fault Palin for not setting out to X; who among us really knows what we truly want to do at 20? or 25? The fault is that she did not set out to be excellent. That alone is not a killer, but it's relevant. Michele Obama set out to be excellent. She is both feminine and powerful. Her credentials are impeccable and she, unlike any of us, set out to be excellent and spent her time trying to find herself doing excellent things. That's what makes her powerful; she chooses to be a mom and work at a hospital; she chooses to support her husband and put his career first; she choose a powerful man to marry; but there is no doubt that this woman is enormously powerful in her own right. The role model for the modern woman should be Michele. Be excellent, create choice, live freely. If Michele Obama arrives announced and unknown in a Fortune 50 CEO's office, he or she is scared. If she arrives at her Senator's office, he's scared. She exudes power, intelligence, and determination. Sarah? Well, if I was a CEO she wouldn't scare me. So if I'm choosing one of them to have my daughter emulate, it's damn well going to be Michele. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:268735 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
