  • Mom-in-chief

    Can anyone say Mommy-wars? Why do we feel that she isn't doing what is most important if she is caring for her family? She has said that she will try to promote affordable, quality daycare options for everyone. If she accomplishes that, it will have a far greater impact on working people than keeping her job ever could. One of the things I ...

  • This is news?

    So a journalist has a heck of a time getting access to a potential first lady, because the campaign has been hurt by misrepresentations of the woman, and thus understandably gun-shy about spilling personal details to a writer. First, this warrants a venting session with a friend -- not a column. Second, cry me a river.

  • No Wonder People Hate Mundys

    Another in a long line of weird concern-trolling on Slate's part, the new article on Michelle Obama is part whine and part sales pitch, but mostly just bad reporting. After noting that Michelle Obama ''will walk anyone through her life,'' Mundy immediately contacts . . . other people. Maybe the first person to call regarding a biography would ...

  • Re: I go back and forth

    I agree with RHWH. Just because this article writer refers to herself as a ''journalist,'' in the instance of her digging on Michelle Obama, she was acting as an aspiring biographer. Two different things. Just because she wanted to write a biography on Obama that doesn't automatically entitle her to access. I can't believe that the writer said ...

  • Michelle Obama Biography Piece

    I'm just thinking out loud here for a moment, so bear with me. Perhaps the Obama campaign felt that your intentions weren't the most honorable? Perhaps they had read those pieces of your 'nadir' on Clinton and Gore and said 'Why bother?'' Perhaps they felt no obligation to help you in your quest for personal gain and notoriety? Perhaps they ...

  • Michelle: A Biograph

    The writer is talking to the likes of ''Michelle's first cousin once removed Capers Funnye Jr., whose mother was the sister of Michelle's paternal grandfather''. One, how is that a FIRST cousin once removed, and two, how intimately would this person know Michelle? Lame.

  • ya basically

    this much is obvious, but the author was just trying to cash in on a bio book of a person in the news, and the campaign wasn't willing to play ball cause the risk wasn't worth the reward. Wow, it only took me one sentance.

  • there isn't time to write a decent biography

    I think the campaign is absolutely right to shut this author out. This is no time for an off-message, self-serving author to push her way into a campaign. If you are serious about writing a book about Michelle, wait until after the election. If you want to throw something together to make money when you know the topic is hot, then do exactly what ...

  • Access does not equal biography

    As a voter, I want transparency from Obama on his policies and his administration. I do not have any similar wants, needs, or rights to the personal histories of his wife, children, parents, family, etc. It is, frankly, none of my business. The author of this article appears very confused and out of line.
