If you're not proud of this First Lady something is wrong with you.

Her visit to Inglewood is a first for any Obama to appear in a predominately black and latino community of Los Angeles, and her visit is closed to the public!?!

Prior to this, the Obamas have never appeared/campaign south of Washington Blvd in Los Angeles, where many blacks reside and the districts of Congresswoman Maxine Waters and former Congresswoman Diane Watson are located. If you're gonna court the black vote, this is the area to do it in, but maybe the Obamas are apprehensive of seeing all those unemployed folks.

I tell my fellow black Americans that this President is not supportive of the black community. Case in Point.

Michelle Obama is an awesome First Lady.
She has remained dignified during all the horrible comments that others have made about her.
She is truly courage under fire.

This campaign is a fraud. It's like the war on drugs. Supply the poison, pep talk the victims, ala "just say no!".

When the First Lady begins to concentrate on forcing the Big CON Ags and Big Monsanto, and Big Dow Chemical out of our food chain, and stop giving shots to our animals from Big Pharma, putting drugs into the food chain.... maybe then we ALL will not be obese. Truth is that the FOOD we buy and eat and RELY upon to live is poisoned, unfit for human consumption, over processed, and bereft of nutritional value. The obesity epidemic is a symptom of a sick republic. Sick from the top down, and the people are languishing in a cycle of death, eating food stuff worse than Soylent Green.

The First Lady can't force anyone to do anything. The congress passes laws not the 1st lady.
