American history of First lady will be changed by aggressively woman. According to the article the author said he expects Barrack Obama will become a new president of America. However, he aspects his wife Michelle Obama will be able to be accepted by American and political people because of her attractive actions and her educational. He pays attention to traditional conserve American first lady who always stays at home and smiles for the cameras behind her husband and follows him, but the writer said Michelle Obama doesn’t suit mold because of her attractive activities, opinion for her husband’s campaign. Therefore he said “Michelle Obama is no ordinary presidential candidate's wife” And then he compares with some first ladies and candidate’s wife. Especially, recent women’s who are these political women try to change traditional figure of American first lady. For instance, the writer said Laura Bush who is first lady right now fits traditional mold figure of American first lady; however even she tried to change the system. She wears pantsuits instead of dress.
Michelle Obama did many attractive political actions, but some American says complements to her political actions. Can she become First lady?

My Opinion:
I’m really interested in election to decide new president of America because there has never been black president in American history, and also first lady. I think this is the biggest chance or opportunity to change American history of discrimination and also it’s good time to reconsider women’s right and conservative thinking. I’d like to ask you do you think can they become top of the American politics?

I'm interested in election of the president of the U.S.A, too. I think the change or revolution already started. Americans want a new intelligent president, and they also want active person who can save Americans from bad economic circumstance and global problems such as nuclear, environment and oil. I've heard that women are more suitable to be a leader. If Barrack Obama will be elected to the president of the U.S.A, the role of his wife will be more important. I think someday women can become top of the American politics.
