In reply to the discussion: Michele Bachmann: Hillary can’t ride wave of white ‘guilt’ into office like Obama did [View all]Beacool
(30,500 posts)31. Michelle never fails to make us grateful that she will soon leave the House.
The one nugget of truth in her statement is that Hillary will confront sexism. She's confronting it right now and has confronted it since she became a public figure in AR back in the late 70s.
Sexism is the one area where there seems to be bipartisan agreement. It's obviously not just Hillary, most women in the public arena get smacked with a barrage of asinine remarks about their looks (hair, age, clothing, etc.). If they are a mother they also question their ability to be a good one. When was the last time that someone asked a male candidate if running for office impeded with their ability to be a good father?
So yes, Michelle is a nut job, but sooner or later every squirrel finds an acorn.

Whoa, just had a thought. Do Michelle Bachmann and Cal Thomas have a "thing" for each other?
