| The Obamas wished each other a Happy Anniversary |
Duane Brayboy argues that too many black folks are living vicariously through the Obamas' 20-year marriage, whose anniversary was yesterday. The conservative blogger in Georgia writes about the celebrityesque worship akin to religion: "I have never met the Obamas or can I vouch for their marriage in any
way. Like the majority of Americans, all we see is what the media allows
us to see. I really like this ['Happily Ever After: A Positive Image of Black
Marriage'] Facebook page and the many examples of good
marriages they provide on a daily basis."
He says stop looking for prominent people to set marriage examples: "But I have to tell you, holding up President Obama and his wife as an
exemplary example of 'true love' and a great marriage when their every
move is calculated by an army of advisors and every flaw is air brushed
away from the public is a false flag."
