Subject: RE: BS: I'm Tired of Being Afraid; MichelleObama
Here's part of it:

Washington -- Michelle Obama told Iowa voters Thursday that her desire not to have her children grow up in a "fear" based society was enough for her to fully embrace her husband's quest for White House.

"The reason why I said yes was because I am tired of being afraid," she told voters at a campaign stop in Council Bluffs. "I am tired of living in a country where every decision that we've made over the last 10 years wasn't for something but it was because people told us we have to fear something."

"I am so tired of fear and I don't want my girls to live in a country, in a world based on fear," she added.

This is the latest insight Obama has given about supporting her husband's, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's, bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The senator's wife, who has taken on an important surrogate role in the campaign, appeared with him in this western Iowa town and introduced him to supporters.

"Whenever I get in front of an audience, I get pumped up because I'm very passionate about this race," she said. "I'm passionate about my husband in this race because I know that and I'm trying to convey to all of you that there is something very special about this man."


I, too, believe in the power of words. To that end, I would remind Mrs. Obama and others to be careful about how they use the "I AM." When we declare "I am" whatever, then we can create that condition in our lives, whether you believe in a deity or not, our subconscious has no discernment between positive and negative and will work to manifest that which we input. So, if I were her, I would rephrase, i.e. "I feel tired, etc.
