Nowadays that is severly looked down on. She is 9 now. Best thing I could have ever done. Breast feed until you feel it is time to stop. So many benefits, plus you lose so many calories. I dropped all of my weight gained during pregancy. I didn't even look like I gave birth. Do what you like. I breast fed my daughter till she was 14 months. Nowadays that is severly looked down on.

I saw her on Oprah twice before he officially announced his candidacy. I was put off instantly by Michelle's demeanor, the way that she emasculated her husband repeatedly during the interview and constantly interjected how she runs the household. That made me think... well, if you are making it clear on national television that YOU run the household daily then we know who will wear the pants if he ever makes it to the White House. Even in her campaign speeches on his behalf, she has time and time again began nearly all of her statements with "I" and it makes me wonder at times, who is really running... you or your husband? I want to like Barack... really I do, but I there are some issues that I don't think he is very forceful/decided enough on... (like Osama Bin Ladin, even if he is not found to be hiding in Pakistan). But his dear betrothed, a.k.a. Mouth All Mighty is going to be his downfall I'm afraid. I couldn’t argee with you more. I saw her on Oprah twice before he officially announced his candidacy.

Did you really need to use the word “assassination� or put fear in her heart about possible deaths in her family? I think she knows what to expect, as she lives and sees what it is like to be Mrs. Barak Obama every day.

And that you are doing it for political gain? She (O'Brien) seems to have forgotten that the Sun-Times was quoting you, and not someone from the Obama Campaign, if there even is one. EVERYONE seems to have forgotten that the post you wrote was based on your OPINIONS and FEELINGS, and not on your desire to actually sway an entire political party (it wasn't, was it? LOL) And "self-described"? As if you are not actually a Mom, you just call yourself one for effect. Well, Ms. O'Brien, this ACTUAL MICHIGAN MOM supports Erin one hundred percent, and the only Republican in my family is my sister, but we don't talk about her.

I cannot add anything that was not already discussed (and discussed well) above. I loved your article on the H. Post. I wish you were a soccer mom (I'm on the "team roster" of a political blog call The Soccer Mom Vote and you'd be perfect on it). Erin - you rock.
