[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 117561, member: 33"] In the case of Michelle Obama the point was to be in a position to do a lot of work on female empowerment for girls, for Nancy Reagan it was being part of a high profile "Just Say No" campaign against drug abuse and for Rosalind Carter it was about raising awareness of mental health issues. I agree with you that the First Lady doesn't [I]have[/I] to do anything but why doesn't she [I]want[/I] to do something with the role? Her son is 11 and in school so it's not like she still has to breast feed him or be on hand 24 hours a day to hold his hand. I really think it's such a wasted opportunity not to use the office and profile to do good when they are so many great causes that would love to have the First Lady as a figurehead to raise awareness of the work they do. Maybe if she was involved in such a campaign, achieving something in her own right, she wouldn't look so miserable all the time. [/QUOTE]
