This is a typical looooooooong New Yorker feature article. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03...fa_fact_collins. However, it gives the reader a close glimpse of this woman. BTW, I didn't know that her brother, Chris, is the head basketball coach at Brown University. As a plus, there are great New Yorker cartoons on each of the ten pages. It's worth a read.

I actually didn't have a chance to read the article just yet, although I intend to. In recent weeks I've read quite a few articles about Michelle examining her from all angles as a possible significant boon to Obama as well as a perhaps a major hindrance.

Obviously, in my opinion both of these possibilities (and everything in between) are very viable. Personally speaking I quite like her, and while my support is with Hillary at the moment, I would be delighted to have her as a first lady should Obama win.

Her speech of never been proud of the us before, and other things, have me worried about her.
