1. Love it...James Harden getting the full treatment from First Mom

[DURHAM D]

2. Coach K is a big Republican

I guess he got all swept up by the First Lady's charm.

5. He's also a team player/leader, ya know!

14. If Louie Gohmert can, he can. "I'm huggin' mooslims 'round the world"

[The Wielding Truth]

6. Our Lady of grace and inspiration! I've never seen anything like her. She is the jewel in our crown.

[OverBurn]

7. I wish I could get a hug from the First Lady Michelle Obama!

I have a serious crush on her. She seems so real, nothing fake about her.

[Suji to Seoul]

15. You and me both, brother. I'd put the shirt I wore in a picture frame next to the photo of her

hugging me.

[TahitiNut]

16. My feelings exactly.

She's THE most huggable FLOTUS ever ... including Jackie. She's the total package ... my ideal of a woman.

8. Sweet!

Thanks for posting that. I really needed some more good, inspiring images just now.

9. Imagine Mitt Romney! "Ha. Ha. I would hug Olympic athletes if I did not have to touch them."

"I do not like touching humans. They are gooey and sticky. Ha. Ha. And those basketball players are not the right height."

23. Wouldn't that be Ann's job?

[southernyankeebelle]

10. OMG there would have been no way I would of hugged those guys after the game. I mean

gee they stink from playing very hard. I would have met them after the game and they had a shower. No offense. Even when my husband does something physical and he comes in stinking I won't let him near me. LOL she is very brave, hahahahaha by the way the pictures are great.

[A Simple Game]

11. So when is someone going to post some pics of Romney hanging out down at the stables? n/t

[Hamlette]

12. Has this ever happened before? I've seen Michele at other events. Any other first lady?

I usually watch the olympics (why are the water polo hats/caps so ugly) but I don't remember any other first lady being this visible. At tennis, women's swimming, now b-ball. I'm just blanking out Nancy Reagan or Laura or Barbara Bush cheering our team so I won't have nightmares?

13. One of the few times those guys don't have to bend over to hug someone.

[FailureToCommunicate]

17. I thought that too. Sort of "mom" hugs

Brilliant!

[AlinPA]

18. Fabulous pictures, especially those guys lined up to greet her.

[LynneSin]

19. Could you imagine if that was Ann Romney

[SmittynMo]

22. Michelle has extreme class.

Very classy lady.

Ann, on the other hand, (expletive, expletive, expletive). She has no class at all. "You people" aren't getting a hug from me, or dimwit Mitt.

[skeewee08]

20. Love it

Does anyone know who the person in on FLOTUS left that everyone is shaking hands with?

21. FOX News Headline

Michelle really has something special all around.
