Michelle Obama Reveals What Makes Barack Mad
 Saturday, October 11th, 2008  by Connie T.

And speaking of CNN, First Lady hopeful Michelle Obama was on Larry King Live this week, and I must say, was soft-spoken yet wise and eloquent, sensible and likeable.

Larry asked Michelle if Barack Obama gets angry about comments like John McCain's reference to "that one;" and Michelle's response was,

He gets angry, but he doesn't get angry about this stuff...What you heard in that debate, when you saw his passion, it was when he was talking about the health care crisis, and he talked about his mother dying of ovarian cancer, and how angry it made him to see her worrying about the insurance company and the payments rather than worrying about getting well, and that's what we're seeing. That's the kind of stuff that makes Barack angry - it's not the back-and-forth, it's not something said about him.

A-men. And from Part 2:

He's seen the struggles of women and knows that there's an inequity there, that we're still in this country dealing with pay equity issues for women. Women still earn 79 cents to the dollar compared to men for the same jobs. And that's where we have to move from, you know, we have to move out of that inequity and give women the salaries that they need so that in the event that they have to make the choice or want to make the choice to work, that they're able to support their family like I can, like Sarah Palin can.

These are great sentiments...Michelle did a lovely job. Will Barack enact legislation to ensure pay equity for women, though? Equal pay for women is so long overdue, folks.
