Pitts: We’ve Changed, Not Mrs. O
In his column, Leonard Pitts contends that the nation has changed rather than First Lady Michelle Obama. As a reminder, he points back to the campaign when some viewed her as "a fire-snorting amalgam of Angela Davis and Sister Souljah ... a militant, terrorist fist-bumping sister girl whose hatred of America was exceeded only by her hatred of 'whitey.'" Now, Pitts continues, "Pollsters tell us she is more popular than her very popular husband. You cannot pass a magazine stand without seeing her smile." Full column here.
