I am Patriotic, How Dare You!

This weekend while campaigning in Rhode Island, Michelle Obama responded to a comment she made earlier this week. That comment was relating to whether or not she loved America before this election. I think it is very insulting politically, and emotionally to question one love for the country they are trying to improve.

The very fact that people are arguing with this woman about her views is a clear step from many previous elections. Because i was not alive, i asked my parents if they could remember any election where their were this many women involved. Michelle is campaigning without her husband in Rhode Island, Hillary is running for president and her daughter is also playing a key role by campaigning just this week in Hawaii. 

I think its very interesting because the unit were studying now, Women and Children, directly relates to modern day occurrences though we are in U.S history, not U.S current events. This also goes to back to the beginning of the unit when we asked the question, Do women and children still come first. I think that because of all these women getting involved in politics they are beginning to break down the barrier between men and women. Do you guys feel the same? Where do women stand in societies perspective?
