At the gathering, Michelle Obama also thanked the South Side community for supporting her family over the years. 'This community of people has raised us ... has helped create our moral fabric,' she said. 'We couldn't do it without the South Side.' She also told the several hundred people at the elaborately decorated Grand Ballroom that she hoped her husband serves as a role model in how he helps raise their two young daughters. 'If you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House,' she said.I am not sure, but Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani come to mind according to the NRO.
But I am not so sure about the correlation. I know lots of men and women who can run multi-national corproations but can't balance their own checkbook without help. by the same token, lots of people run a good household, but I wouldn't trust to run a school picnic, let alone a country.
Certainly, Obama appears to be a good father (and appears is a proper word since we don't know for sure and Michelle Obama's motives are conflicted at best). I certainly think he is an apt role model in many respects, but that doesn't necessarily make a less than full term U.S. senator (who won in a walk) qualified to be President.
