Americans are like children

Michelle Obama, Barack Obama’s wife. Gave her las interview as US First Lady. The interview was with Oprah Winfrey and she talk about her husband, and about the Obama administration's legacy.

She said that children respond to crises the way that they see adults respond and to reinforce that argument she gave the example of a toddler who bumps his head on a table and checks with his parents to see if it should hurt, and depending on the parents response, the toddler will have a reaction or another.

But she also added that she thinks that Barack Obama has been a parental figure for his nation. And all the inhabitants would be the children, so referring to the example given above, If Barack would say in thimes of crisis and turmoil that it would be okey and the americans should look at the future.

She finally said that all of this taught American kids to stay focused and know that their work and lives were not in vain.

My Opinion

At first I didn't understan well the news, but then I realized that Michelle is absolutely right. When we are young and we get hurt with something our reaction also depends on the reaction of our parents.

 So in politics It's totally the same. If our president tells us that despite the crisis the country is going well, our reaction will be good. And if the tables were turned our reaction would be bad.

By this I mean that our reaction depends on another person. And I think Michelle is a very smart woman and I'm completly agree with what she thinks.
