Wonder Woman: Michelle Obama

April 6, 2009

How do you get the Queen of England to let down her guard? Send in Michelle Obama. Royal onlookers were stunned last week when the first lady was hugged by Queen Elizabeth II upon introduction.

Since moving into the White House two months ago, Mrs. Obama has shown herself to be a new kind of president's wife — a woman who is very much her own person. Not content simply picking a token cause and speaking about it on occasion, Mrs. Obama has been seen out and about in her new community as she begins to tackle the issues that mean the most to her. From education — she was seen reading Dr. Seuss books to children — to healthy foods — she helped her staff plant an organic vegetable garden on the White House grounds — Obama has proven herself to be one of a kind. And, a woman to whom most mothers and wives can relate. Though we still envy her toned arms.

Excellent point Max, at least since the advent of TV, they have played a very important role

All first ladies are great women. End of Story! Their husbands would never have made it into the white house to the highest position in office if they were poor first ladies with tarnished back grounds. This post should be one of celebration and not negative remarks.

I missed this party! :(I agree that she hasn't had enough time to do anything great. I agree that she hasn't done anything new and different or great compared to other first ladies. Great Sommelier and CaterpillarGirl were pretty awesome at showing that. :cheer:Sorry, I didn't read every comment.

Well, I am the first to admit "Men are from Mars, and women from Venus. I also am the first to admit all my taste is in my mouth. Maybe the above "discussion" on first ladies attire is merely just that, a discussion. In that case it definitely "A girl thing, and I would not understand it". :fogey:

Gkitty, I must admit, I know next to nothing about Jackies daddy, but a great deal about Jack's.

:fogey: I don't see any attacks on first ladies here (just differing opinions) but I'd say the attacks are at some on our members IMvhO -

Morning Grandpa, can we at least get the book report on Jackie's daddy?

By the way what I posted above goes for all family members of any elected official, or candidate. There is no reason on earth to deride, or ridicule a family member of someone you loath and despise, solely because you disagree politically.

Folks, I think it is a bit unseemly to attack ANY first lady, current or former, until and unless she steps into the political arena as a pure partisan. Why don't we all take a deep breath, and let this thread go. I think you all share the same thoughts, the other guy/gal is witless and clueless, while you yourself is the font of all wisdom and restraint.

"Steph I dont think you know that most First Ladies havent hit the ground running. I don't think you know that for a fact, I think you're just saying that because its what you beleive. I think you'd have to research it, which is apprently not allowed."Actually Haus, I do know for a fact, personally, whether most first ladies since 1968 hit the ground running - because of my past job and a family member's position with the GOP. Two things to like about Jackie Kennedy:She said “You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat” and she told Oleg Cassini she wanted to dress as if "Jack were President of France"...

As to background: MO's family was not wealthy, but her father had a civil service job and was well-connected in the Chicago Democratic party structure. I'm puzzled about why so many people are so defensive, when I don't see any personal or professional attacks here. :ponder:

"I do not think Mrs. Obama compares to Mrs. Kennedy's poise, posture, elegance and taste." Mrs. Kennedy was always proud to be an American, and not finally, for the first time, mid campaign.
