Women that stay home, work at least 3 times harder than they would if they worked outside the home. Just an fyi. Hey nickwah22 – there is no such thing as “only a homemaker”.

They can't have black folk in the White House that ain't pulling their weight. Hell, if she continued on with the article should might have said the two girls need to cut the damn front lawn! She is ignorant at best; where was her article when all of the other First Ladies were in the White House, with no children, just chillin'? Michelle Obama is a stand up woman, I doubt she will only be a homemaker, not that it isn't a job in itself. Whats the problem?

I'm real sick of women criticizing other women who put their families first. I am incredibly sick of it. Its absolutely demeaning to me as a DAUGHTER to see someone dismiss the importance of putting children first as if its comparable to any old job. Dana Golstein can catch fire.
