I am a big fan of first lady Michelle Obama. She’s smart, classy, sassy, gorgeous, funny; she’s a wonderful ambassador for our country; and she has kick-butt arms!
And first ladies always get picked on — usually by the press. Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton — they all got bashed. Laura Bush had it fairly easy.
But this time, the first lady is being bashed by the author of a new book, “The Obamas.” I really don’t want to read the book, because this kind of blatant negative just-for-the-money putdown is anathema to me. So, instead, I’m going to show Michelle Obama in a positive light as often as I can.
