On yesterday’s program we didn’t have a chance to get to our usual letter of the week and so today, I’ll close the program with this week’s letter, or rather, a card.
On Friday, First Lady Michelle Obama turned 50. And last night, she marked the occasion with a “50 and Fabulous” celebration at the White House. So this morning: my birthday card to the nation’s First Lady.
Dear First Lady Obama,
It’s me, Melissa. Happy Birthday and best wishes for at least another 50 years of good health, great joy, and remarkable achievement. The life you have already lived was almost unimaginable on the day you were born because you were born into a country that was unsettled.
In the months leading up to your birth, the March on Washington revealed the extent of black discontent with the conditions of life in America. Four little girls were murdered in the racist bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. And President Kennedy was assassinated, leaving the nation stunned and a former Southern Senator in the Oval Office.
Your mother, Marian Robinson, must have felt the tremors of racial anxiety that were shaking the ground beneath her maternal feet. Especially because it was racial uncertainty and violence that led her grandparents and tens of thousands of other black Americans out of the South and into cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, and Cleveland decades earlier. Indeed, your birth 50 years ago on the Southside of Chicago was the result of a Great Migration of African Americans determined to establish new and free-er lives for themselves and their children.....

I doubt she can read above a second grade level, hope she kept it simple.
Err...Melissa. I don’t know how to break this to you, but Jesse isn’t a Reverend...never has been. Didn’t finish seminary school, never had a congregation, never had a church. He’s just let hacks like you perpetuate the myth. Oh, BTW, Al Sharton isn’t either...for the same reasons, although he was “ordained” by a DC preacher when he was 10 years old. Both men are a disgrace to those who did earn the title. For once, try to tell the truth and quit kissing Obozo’s posterior and maybe take a peek at the facts.
Add to that, I didn’t even elect HIM to office!
She maybe 50; but she definitely isn’t fabulous or even close.
LOL, you said it!
After a while, pumpkins will rot.
Good God, what a disgusting piece of drivel. What’s next, washing her feet? smdh
And hilldabeast will pave the way
But but but I thought this was a racist country and they can’t get ahead due to the nasty white republicans? What’s with all the opportunity and achievement talk? Someone better set her straight.
