TRUE Leaders do NOT "get the life beaten out of you at some point"...losers, however, DO.

Michelle Obama: 'It's now or never'

by Christi Parsons



In a Vanity Fair interview, Barack Obama's wife Michelle says it's "now or never" for her husband's run for the presidency.

“We’re not going to keep running and running and running, because at some point you do get the life beaten out of you," Obama told the magazine. "It hasn’t been beaten out of us yet. We need to be in there now, while we’re still fresh and open and fearless and bold. You lose some of that over time. Barack is not cautious yet; he’s ready to change the world, and we need that.”

The Democratic candidate's wife dished on a bunch of other topics, including why she teases her husband publicly about his personal habits and how she learned to suppress her sarcastic streak during the campaign.

I guess the obvious answer is, yes--you give a fuck. But why?

10. Another reason for me to want him to win - He does not want the presidency for himself, but us.

That is so good to know that he will not spend his life trying to want to get into the White House as some do.
