I don't want to sound like a "fan" of Michelle, but that is what I am quickly becoming.  
 We watched her speech yesterday to a group of activist women in the White House, and her grace and dignity and determination flowed from every word.
She has the intellectual qualities of a Hillary Clinton and the empathy of an Eleanor Roosevelt.  And the fashion sense of a Jackie O.  Not to mention glowing good looks (OK, so I mentioned it.)  And an icy, serious stare that could wilt any would-be heckler. 
I've heard more than one pundit from the center-left suggest she should learn from Hillary's hard lesson, and remain a lightweight on the sidelines in this historic fight. 
But after watching her eloquent and profound opening salvo, I would guess there's a lot more we will hear from her.  And that the leaders on the right are already worried she will succeed where Hillary failed.
The more, the better.  She's more than just a class act, she's a very moving speaker.  And this is an issue that needs those qualities from every quarter.

All of them, (except Keith and Rachel, and Rick Sanchez, maybe Andy Cooper, too) seem quite pre-disposed to enabling the teabaggers with free publicity.  Of course, Bill Moyers belongs on that list, too, but we all know where he is moving to;  THE BLOGS!
But I must admit, it would be no big change for me, with those aforementioned three exceptions,  I get all my headlines online, from TPM, Huffpost, FDL, Alternet and other websites with real opinions from talking brains, not talking heads.
And that includes wide variety of contrasting opinions in the comments sections and from some of the personal bliogs, and not just a spoonfed version of the most pupil-dilating fluff the MSM can concoct because they consider us all as stupid as their lowest common denominators.
So it will  be no big deal for me to boycott Fox and the rest of the zoo animals, I blocked them years ago.  But it might be interesting to see what happens if a few million people just quit tuning in the mainstream BS and depended as many of us already do, solely on web-based news.
BOYCOTT TV NEWS!  Hurt them in their pocketbooks, that's the only thing that might change their stupid, slanted perspective, packaged for the Fox-fanatic knuckledraggers as some sort of lowest common denominator.
