you seem to desire.

Michelle Obama can say anything she likes - the voters will decide if it works or not. It's all just strategy.

If it helps any: I am an evolutionist and I understand survival of the fittest. The error most make with that is they think "fittest" means the physically strongest, or most selfish, or some other hogwash. But there are a lot of ways to be "fittest" that include things like being the most cooperative, most thoughtful and soon.

Political campaigns are similar. Some strategies work and some don't. While I have personal feelings, tat doesn't make a strategy unfair or wrong. Take Obama's use of homophobes to build links in certain communities that are anti-gay. I have a personal problem with it, but it's a legitimate strategy that might pay off for him.

I'm fine with the voters selecting.
