1. She looks great helping out.

22. what you do for the least among you, you do also for me.

2. I'll bet she stayed and actually worked

Rather than pop in for a 10 minute photo-op, like someone else I can think of.

3. Brave woman that Michelle.

To wear that ruffled shirt while serving food! :)

I would have had a WHOLE shirt full of food encrusted ruffles by the time I was done.

5. LOL....me too!

4. I think it's great she's helping out...

She is setting a wonderful example.

6. I think she's going to take her inspiration from Eleanor

during her husband's administration. Kudos to her, she's a wonderful first lady.

7. Maybe the Secret Service guy could have dressed down

and fit in just a bit...

16. He sure looked dour, didn't he?

But he's probably just following the Secret Service dress code. They probably don't want to fit in--make sure everyone is aware of their presence. If there were any there who were dressed to fit in, we wouldn't know they were SS.

8. What a wonderful woman she is. Best first lady ever. nt

9. And it's not even a holiday! WOW!

To be completely shallow, I think she's worn that melon sweater before, I love that color.

20. she wears clothes more than once

I think she just wears her clothes more than once! Even ball dresses...I read somewhere that she is going to do that. I think it is awesome that she doesn't think she can't be seen out in the same outfit twice. It'll be great when everyone adopts that view!

11. Whew! For a second there I thought she might have been sleeveless again.

The world can rest easy now.

26. LOL!!!!

12. Thanks Jackeens once again you are the QUEEN:-)

13. #13 is my favorite; very touching and genuine.

not as if she's ever anything less than genuine, of course...

she's the real thing! :bounce:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. ZOMG! She's showing her forearm, the tart!

:silly:

[Botany]

15. She made people happy and gave comfort to others

What is that wet stuff on my cheek? .... I must have got something in my eye.

A hot meal and a smile from the first lady to those in need w/out any expectation of getting anything back
the lady shows more class in one morning than most show in a whole year.

17. She really makes the most of her free-time hours during the day. She

gets out there and walks the walk. Lovely, generous woman with her priorities straight.

18. Classiest First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt.

I'm not knocking Hillary Clinton - she was great in her own way, albeit somewhat reserved and private as FL. But Michelle Obama not only combines Jackie's elegance and Hillary's smarts, she also has Eleanor's ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

Once those kids are grown and Barack has retired from the Presidency, I suspect we might might be looking at the first African American woman President. Hillary came damned close, so I think it could be done.

19. Great pictures, thanks

I am laid off from working for Food for Lane County, and I know personally how important this work is.

21. Thank you for continuing to post such wonderful images. nt

23. Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing. I love #6 and the last one

really shows that she listens to people. Wonderful First Lady, kind and understanding.

The Secret Service guys are really working for their money given the schedules of the President and First Lady. Guess they never worked this hard since President Clinton left office!

24. K&R!

25. Michelle Obama is such a wonderful first lady

She could sit in the Whitehouse all day, but she chooses to go out and visit places in DC. I am thrilled that she volunteered at Miriam's Kitchen and I hope she visits other feeding programs for the homeless.
