HOW TO GIVE A BETTER SPEECH THAN OBAMA and change your world - (The Iron Lady v The First Lady) Darren Kelly, Kellcomm, Blog - Day 36

Hi,

When I watched Barack Obama and his wife Michelle on one of Oprah Winfrey’s last ever TV shows, I noticed honest steel in the First Lady’s words. When she spoke about her opinion of Facebook for her children, cleaning chores in the White House and the challenge of real-world politics, I always felt I was getting the truth. There were no hesitations in her replies as she searched for appropriate answers to court public opinion. There was an openness that endeared her to her audience. The role of First Lady is not a simple role of ceremony and pomp. It takes great understanding and skill, and each First Lady likes to leave The White House with the knowledge that she worked hard for change that was productive. Michelle Obama has many causes, including a desire to reverse childhood obesity.

Michelle Obama, like Thatcher is certainly a woman who knows her own mind and like Thatcher,” is not for turning.” She is the strength behind Barack Obama’s rise to the top of world politics. She shares his values, supports his cause, and she manages the chaos that the world of politics can dump on a family. She communicates her views and vision with a clarity and warmth that leaves no one in doubt as to her intentions and beliefs. She is also unafraid to discuss her disappointments and doubts. Her politics may differ from Thatcher’s, but they share the same self-belief.

However, nothing a First Lady will ever achieve can compare to the challenges of leading a major country as ‘The Iron Lady.’ But don’t be surprised if one-day Michelle Obama returns to The White House to achieve a feat that will shatter the glass ceiling of politics just like ‘The Iron Lady’ once did. Could Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama become the first female president of the U.S.A. in years to come? I wouldn’t bet against it!

Tomorrow, I will discuss ‘The Iron Lady’ v Churchill (A View from Hollywood).

Take care,

Darren
