How does a power-couple, such as Senator Obama and Michelle Obama square “hope,” within the families that raised them, and of which they have both spoken so often.
You can bet that neither family “hoped” that their children would go to college – they were going to go to college. It appears that at least some of that education was scholarships or grants, BUT, even without them, they were going to college. If the family could not get them there, then I’m betting BHO and MO would have found a way – no “hope” involved in that important decision.
Michelle Obama is the great hope-dasher, if ever there was one. She was brazen enough to tell women in Ohio to “Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse….move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry,”…
Being a nurse or a social worker or in the “helping industry” – all fine careers, but so also would be corporate life. Just where do we know the Obama’s fortune is invested – certainly in corporate America, right where the Unions put their monies.
I would “hope” that a leading Presidential candidate would not be the most liberal Senator in the Senate. That’s a proper use of the word “hope.”
