Michelle Obama is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly graceful, exceptionally classy, eloquent, the perfect role model for young women everywhere ... yadda, yadda.

Okay. So she's also admired the world over, respected nationally as well as internationally, is often praised for her insight, her savvy, and her ability to unite people for a common purpose.

She has dazzled the world with her political acumen, her incredible ability to BE her own woman while standing next to the most powerful man on the planet, and her uncanny knack for facing her adversaries head-on without flinching, without losing her cool, without breaking a sweat.

So yeah, yeah, she has demonstrated her unwavering support for her husband, her country, and her fellow citizens, has never backed down, and has never abandoned her principles.

She has promoted healthy living, healthy eating, and the importance of education, setting high goals, and working towards those goals.

And yeah, yeah - she's also down-to-earth, has a great sense of humour, and can sing karaoke in a car with the best of 'em.

But other than that, what does she really have going for herself?

of her eating healthy and exercise regimen.. just look @ her!

I'll give her a her a shout out for helping to grow her own Vegetables and Herbs in the White House Garden and of course she wrote a book about it with Journalist Lyric Winik .



She's an awesome Mama..

But heard rumors that she may be black.

Total ROTFL and sarcasm. And I think it may be been Rush who started the rumor.

LOL! "Edith, WHAT?

What a great speech! Did you notice her fighting back tears at times??

"I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves."

‘When they go low, we go high.’”
