Perception is everything, most Americans don't pay attention to issues or the news. We generally vote on personality in this country. Hell janitors where suits to interviews, not because it is required for work but because we have been conditioned to believe that wearing a suit means that you are a smart and a hard worker. Michelle is multidimensional just like the rest of us. P Diddy has admitted to showcasing certain sides of himself more to portray a certain image. Everybody does it and so do companies. Obama is Coca Cola and McCain is Pepsi what you see on the news are merely commercials. The commercial does not change whats in the drink.

profbw,

Certainly. And I enjoyed your post very much.

So, readers, I want to note here--and will update it in the post as soon as I stop having technical difficulties--that the bloggers who wrote on Michelle Obama were linked to because they gave interesting perspectives that kept her changing image in mind.

They were not, and it was my mistake to give the impression that they were, linked to because they did or did not believe she was being "handled" in the way I am discussing. I was merely attempting to spread link love to those who were giving smart but varied opinions on her speech.

Give it a minute to update and I will clarify.

I think my post was very clear that I did not think that Michelle Obama was being "handled" and that I found her talk inspiring. I'm a little concerned about being lumped in with an admonishment of people who do not get that.
