Michelle Obama Touts Her Own Independence: I Made 'My Own Choices About My Body'

First Lady Michelle Obama is thankful for her life. At the More magazine Impact Awards at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., the first lady credits her good life--and independence--to education.

"Growing up -- and I remind these girls all the time -- I wasn’t any smarter, I wasn’t more talented than they are. But instead of having to work to support my family, or being married off to a grown man and forced to bear children before I was ready, I got to go to school so I could support myself, so I could make my own choices about my body and my life," the president's wife told the crowd at the award ceremony.

"And none of us would ever accept anything less for our own daughters and granddaughters. We wouldn’t tolerate it. We would never accept a life of dependence and abuse for our girls. We would never allow their bodies to be violated or their potential to be squandered. So we have to ask ourselves, why would we accept this fate for any girl on this planet?

..so I could make my own choices about my body...

We've noticed...


..."And ultimately, that is why we started Let Girls Learn. As you’ve heard, it’s a government initiative, a brand new initiative to help adolescent girls worldwide go to school...

So now we're funding the world?

She’s veering dangerously close to criticizing Islam with this line of crazy talk!

Give her credit. It takes great courage to admit being responsible for such a disaster...

the first lady credits her good life—and independence—to education.
________________________________________

actually her good life is due to the American taxpayers..

and shes not independent..shes a welfare case...supported by the taxpayers..

how can she say shes independent when shes a ward of the state along with her husband and those spoiled brat kids err Kenyan princesses ???

shes not using that education to support herself and her family...

You’re right!

“Choices” about “Your Body” = “Choosing to kill the body in your womb”for liberals.
