Michelle, although you in no manner, shape, or form should have felt it necessary to conform to any white person’s or any person’s view of beauty, it was likely the wise move considering where this nation was and still is in respect to such matters. Thank you for making a personal sacrifice for the good of your husband’s administration and the country. The Obama administration was good for America and you helped to make it happen. Now go out and rock your curls. Peace and love.
