Nadya, "The Terrible" and "Our Michelle" in the News

Last night's "day of reckoning" presidential speech gave reason to be cheerful. However, in her mid-forties, Michelle's flab-free arms were reason to make women smile too. Daring, bare arms were not appropriate for a president's lady or any lady at a formal "do" - but, I bet every woman looking at her calculated the workout discipline and self-assurance exhibited by "our Michelle." Yeah...now I think in terms of "our Michelle."

We need "our Michelle." With Nadya, "the terrible", the despicable Octuplets mother and grandmother arguing publicly - Nadya talking over her Mom...rude...disrespectful...selfish...on a .com radio interview. The result: Nadya's getting her own talk show. A reward for doing things we don't want our children to do.

Fortunately, the powers that be have decided that the octuplets are not going home to Nadya's overcrowded, unmaintained mother's home. And, tis said that Nadya told the father she had ovarian cancer and wanted one child, to get him to donate his sperm. When Nadya Suleman takes media space, and details of her relationship to motherhood and integrity hit the headlines on the same day, I am thankful for the admirable examples of maternal instincts, marriage partnership and personal independence set by "our Michelle."

I become more comfortable with her independent interests and often unconventional styles. "Our Michelle's" thoughtful choice of personal guests last night was heart-warming and deeply supportive of her husband's goals. And, finally, her announcement that the "First Dog" is a Portuguese Water Dog scheduled to arrive in April, after Malia and Sasha's Spring break...months of promises... those kids are patient!

...my kids would have worn me down or driven me nuts. However, "Our Michelle's" kids pick the same type of silly names for a pet that my kids did...They're being discouraged from naming the new pup, Frank, Moses or Moose...The First lady suggested that they take more time to consider...

...so, while J. Crew advertises Michelle style and Paul Labrecque Luxury Hair care advertises the Michelle Obama look with his "simple, sexy hair", "Straight Finish" lotion at $18. - "Our Michelle" discourages toy manufacturers from using her kids images for dolls and maintains a First Lady image that is "new-millennium-original" and admirable.

There are few financial or housing or mortgage or US-at-war news stories to make me cheerful, so "our Michelle" in the headlines is a blessing.

A Numerologist's Analysis of Strange Bedfellows, Suleman and Daschle

Strange bedfellows, octuplet's mother, Nadya Suleman and US Senator Tom Daschle have similar ethics and relationships problems: Out of balance - Numerology Challenged - morals, ethics, standards, an over-stimulated need to protect and nurture and a parental nature that feeds on emotional contact - and, creates situations that elicit dramatic responses. This numerologist sees what they don't see.

Tom Daschle has a double #6 Challenge and his Destiny is a #6. So, he is obsessive and compulsive in his relationships and meets the people and experiences in his Destiny that cause him to over-react. I doubt that he has room in his mind to put the proper importance a non-emotional, seemingly mundane - need to pay taxes.

The #6 Challenge is motivated by the desire to be the center of an adoring family. To Daschle, his working family and his personal family deserve and receive the same obsessive responsibility in relationships and overly stimulated emotional responses to their problems. Daschle is beloved by colleagues for his genuine emotional responsiveness and unselfish acts and he is respected for his ethics and moral fiber. With his mind and emotions overflowing with other people's problems that he feels compelled to solve - and, having the talent to see the needs that he feels responsible to fill, he's a good caregiver to everyone and a bad parent to himself.

Daschle believes that his morals, standards and ethics are pure and he wants everyone to live up to his perceptions of right and wrong. He believes that he knows what's good for everyone. He just doesn't understand that "live and let live" allows people to maintain self respect. He can be a smothering do-gooder who doesn't "get it" and goes to extremes in his "what's right from wrong" judgments.

In this a strange comparison of a young woman eager to breast feed and mother fourteen children, Nadya Suleman and Tom Daschle, a public servant eager to nurture and sacrifice for a nation, I see the neurotic, "I have a lot of love to give", common denominators.

Public opinion sees Suleman's hiring a press agent-manager, expecting to be a baby expert talk show host and negotiating book and TV deals, as greed. Public opinion sees Daschle's ignoring to mention his tax problems when approached by the president to accept the responsibility of overseeing education, a high powered office that nurtures children, as greed. This numerologist thinks they see themselves as doing good for others and I do not think they have any perception of their out-of-balance understanding of right and wrong. They are "Strange Bedfellows."
