Golly
Last week, Michelle Obama said this:
One of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values? Is he somebody that respects family? Is a good and decent person? So our view was that, if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. So, we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first. . . .I have two things to say about this. One is to point out that one reason some of us respect and voted for GWB, as a matter of fact, is precisely his sharing of some (not all, at all) of our values. (I am not an intensely religious person, for example, but on the other hand I appreciate his commitment to and focus on his family and, perhaps even more important, his own counsel.) The other thing I want to say is that I keep thinking and believing that character matters, and I hope it does, but I'm not sure it really does.
