President Obama is the worst President in my lifetime.  He has the potential to be the worst President in our nation’s history but he has competition.  But when he’s right he deserves credit.   This also applies to Michelle Obama when she gets something right she also deserves credit.  .

President held a meeting where he talked about growing up without a father and explained that this contributed to him experimenting with drugs and behaving irresponsibly.  It was a brave thing to do.  It was the right thing to do.

The scarcity of positive male role models in the black community is obvious.  We desperately need responsible black males to challenge other black males to act responsibly.  Nothing could have a bigger impact on the rate of poverty and drug abuse rampant in the black community.  There are a lot of things about Obama that I do not like, but he did marry Michelle and he has been a responsible parent.  Now, he is using the bully pulpit to help challenge more black males to choose to be responsible.  Good for him.  Way to go Barack!  I hope a whole lot of people stand up and applaud you for doing this.  I hope even more people follow your example.  When you’re right, you’re right.

Michelle Obama is beyond annoying, but her campaign to make food labels easier to read is just plain common sense.  She is absolutely right in pointing out that labels should make it easy to determine what matters.  I have tried to become more consistent in reading food labels and they are terrible.  The print is very small and there is tons of information that really doesn’t matter to me.  All I really want to know is the amount of Calories and the number of Carbs.  Michelle Obama is promoting an FDA regulation required food labels to display the number of calories is in bold print and in big print.  That is a brilliant idea that is long overdue.  Good for you Michelle.

I have not changed my opinion about either Barack Obama or Michele Obama.  The problems with both are all too obvious and all too real.  But we always need to be careful to give credit when credit is due.  Barack Obama is a good role model as a black male parent and he deserves credit for that.  He also is speaking out on the importance of black males being responsible parents and he deserves credit for that too.  Michele Obama has promoted some silly ideas regarding nutrition, including some idiot rules regarding school lunches.  But printing the number of calories in large print is smart, really smart.  And it is a great idea.  Good for her.
