1. I think she's a Republican, but supports Obama.
Though still will defend the Republicans.

2. She's a Republican calling herself an Independent....
who didn't like Hillary Clinton....faked like she liked Obama during the primary, and has since turned into a McCain supporter who thinks Palin is just swell.

She's a member of the Independent Women's Forum-- http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Independent_Women's_Forum

9. She Doesn't Drop Bombs, She Plants Seeds
Appears 'reasonable' but plants all the conservative ideas in a kinder, gentler way...

4. She's a conservative who is torn between race and gender
You know I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but she was a conservative Obama supporter who has seemed to jump ship once Sarah Palin was nominated.

8. I thinks she describes herself as Center Right, though she wavers sometimes.

11. From what I've read opportunistic
I went to law school with Michelle and was a member of her wedding party (her first wedding). The reason why Michelle is a supporter of Obama is that she is an opportunist. In law school she was a liberal democratic and supported the party. A black male friend of ours Vernon Parker, changed his party to become a Republican. He got a political appointment and shot up through the administration. Michelle thought this was a great way to move up the ranks in politics…fewer black conservatives gives her higher visibility. So she went for it. She is supporting Obama because she wants a political appointment and this is the easiest and fastest way to get there now that she sees that the Republicans have no shot at regaining the White House.

Trust me, I know Michelle.


And a reply to that was:

Joyce,

Good observation about MB. I have known MB for over 25 years.

You are dead on accurate; she was like that before she married JJ and its semms that marriage & 2 kids haven’t changed much in the way she still operates.
