"Michelle Obama's Sacrifice" http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2007/05/21/michelle_obama/index.html
This is an interesting article from Salon about Michelle Obama's decision to, for all intents and purposes, quit her high-powered job to be on the campaign trail. Although I disagree with the way the author reads into various comments by Michelle Obama (the author seems comfortable with putting words/thoughts/actions in Michelle Obama's mouth), the author poses interesting questions about the developing role of the wife on the campaign trail and the role of the first lady. I hope that Michelle Obama defines her own role and finds ways to put all of her talents to good use.
The issue (and Maureen Dowd's column about Michelle Obama) is discussed more on these blogs:
