It's funny--I like the Obamas, I think the President is a ferociously smart, politically talented, and competent man, and I think Michelle is a class act, but I'm not a huge Obama fan the way a lot of other people are. Not that I have a problem with him, I was just never really in love (okay, maybe once or twice for like a day). As I explained to an incredulous friend, I wasn't at Grant Park and that's okay because I love politics more than I love Barack Obama. (That may make me a soulless human being, but it's the truth.)
All that said, I have discovered that I have reserves of feral rage for people who want to trash-talk Michelle Obama. Seriously? You want to talk about her accent and then talk about who's classy and who's trash? You really want to go there? Seriously?
About Me
- Miwome
- I've kept an online journal for years, but in the past year or so as my academic and independent studies have taken off my journal was overrun with thoughts and links on politics, the Middle East, social justice, et. al. I finally gave in to the inevitable and created a separate blog--this one--for my thoughts on such matters; we'll see what happens. I'm a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with a B.A. in International Studies, geographic focus on the Middle East (and, more peripherally, North Africa and Central Asia). I'm from Boston, I like to travel, and I enthusiastically sang in and co-ran the University of Chicago Voices In Your Head. I'm hoping to move back to the Middle East within the next year to further the practical side of my education (and have a good time).
