Anyway, when Bill Clinton got elected as President, Hillary thought she was Vice-President as opposed to being the first lady. Her stand on healthcare was one I was proud of but I feel that she needed to guide the steps of her husband Bill to take care of it. In the end, Bill had to tell Hillary to stop promoting her own agenda. Plus, she ended up taking contribution funds from the healthcare industry to keep her mouth shut. I agree with you that these are completely different "styles" of women who hold their own, but I do think that Michelle does it with more grace. @Sonia, funny how we have the same name.

Michelle has not chosen the political arena as her career path, Hilary has. Hilary stayed focused on her goal despite public embarrassment of her husband's indiscretions. That takes guts and I give Hilary a lot of nods for that. I would bailed out on Bill's ass. Anywho, Michelle is well accomplished in her own right as a lawyer, College board member amongst other things. Her spotlight shines brighter b.c her husband is the current "Chosen One" and Bill was the "Old Cool President." Michelle personifies the Man being the head of the family, but the Woman being the Neck. She appears to steer the direction while allowing Barack his own sense of control. Good to see that. Maybe it will give Black Men a sense of pride and see that there is value in marriage. *Hey ya neva know* :) Love, EbonyLolita Hmmm… they’re both strong and successful in their own way.

They can't be themselves! Michelle seems phony; Hillary just says whatever is gonna keep her name alive; Michelle just smiles and waves. She hasn't said or done anything profound but dress nice. Hillary is where she is because of Bill; Period. Political wives are just not authentic. They can’t be themselves!

I don't see how the Healthcare System clouded his vision he was still able to be a very successful president and we were in good times with our budget on target. Hilary, stood by her man in hard times, she was the one that saved him and informed the lawyers how to handle the situation. Hilary and Michelle are different people. Hilary always wanted the presidency, US just was not ready for it in her time. And yes women in her age group had to be strong like the men to get their message across; look at most of the ladies of her era the baby boomers they had to wear the pants suits or just suits to compete and fight for that respect. Michelle can tone it down now because society has gain more respect for women; yet people will look at her as the mom, the wife that dresses nice. We really don't want to go back to the Kennedy days; not that they were bad - but that is who they are comparing Michelle to. We know she runs the show at home but so did Hilary and she was able to stand up to any man when the time calls for it; which was when her husband got in trouble. I like both of these women but you are comparing Apples to Oranges. These are two different types of women. Let’s respect each for their true value.

Michelle is too early to tell if Obama got caught cheating I see Michelle writing an article for Essence or something about it!
