BOOK: LADY OBAMA AIN'T HAVIN' IT!
In response to the reviews of the latest unauthorized book on the administration Lady O is over it. According to an interview conducted by CBS representative Gayle King, Mrs. Obama is tired of outsiders trying to paint her as an “angry black woman”…yet again.
The stereotypes are still raging even though the Lady of the House has proven that she is the epitome of a WORKING WOMAN! As a woman of color who is handling business-standing ones ground is often perceived as being negatively upset or angered when in actuality its an establishment of boundaries. “We don’t play” is the mantra of sisters in control yet all too often the lack of smiles and/or perceived congenialities is contorted by those who are not BROWN/BLACK to mean something altogether combative.
“I guess it’s just more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here,” she said. “That’s been an image people have tried to paint of me since the day Barack announced, that I’m some kind of angry black woman.”
It also warrants noting that neither Mrs. Obama nor President Obama were interviewed at anytime for any substantiated information for this book.
The Kantor book entitled “THE OBAMAS”- portrays a White House where tensions developed between Mrs. Obama and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and former press secretary and presidential adviser Robert Gibbs. The book, titled “The Obamas,” describes Mrs. Obama as having gone through an evolution from struggle to fulfillment in her role at the White House, while labeling her an “unrecognized force” in pursuing the president’s goals. Neither the president nor his wife agreed to be interviewed for the book.
Lady O further states that she doesn’t read any of those books. I wouldn’t either if I didn’t have any active participation in the validity of its contents. Chalk it up as political fiction.
