3. Dammit! Every time I see her I get something in my eye!

Thank you, Jackeens... as always. I don't mind the watery eyes... really... keep these speck-riddled pics coming:)

21. Funny ~ my eyes have problems too with Jackeens photos

[Bleacher Creature]

4. And again I ask, who are the people that don't like her?????

It's truly mind-boggling to think that there are people out there aren't wowed by the First Lady. That said, 20% of the country approved of GWB on his last day of terror.

10. there are so many people who are threatened by a powerful woman.

has nothing to do with anything except their own insecurities, and probably issues with their mommies or something. being a kind of a pushy broad myself i can tell you, there are just some people who take one look at you, wet their pants, and blame it on you. cost me a lot in my life. but there is nothing for it. it just is.

20. It really is unbelievable.

Our local paper had an op-ed about that. The writer said around the water-cooler where she works, she constantly hears comments about how COLD Michelle is.
COLD? That makes no sense whatsoever. She is one of the warmest First Ladies I've seen in my lifetime.

8. I'd always thought there was something funny-looking about her smile...

...but she's just radiant in that first photo, as in all the others.

It shouldn't matter that she's good-looking, of course, but she makes me smile.

[shireen]

9. i can always count on a Michelle Obama thread to make me smile.

thanks Jackeens!

11. Go Michelle!

She is always impressive. She connects so well with people. I love the looks on the kids' faces when she is in the classroom.

[Clio the Leo]

13. I'm thinking she likes those green shoes...

.... they do look comfy.

[Vektor]

14. Breathtaking in every photo, but #3 is particularly lovely.

It looks a little candid, like she was caught a wee bit off guard, and it's just adorable.

Thanks, Jackeens!

19. Not to sound superficial, but she has the most gorgeous, simple clothes--

I LOVE her style.

[rocktivity]

23. With her height, figure and coloring, she DOESN'T need clothes that scream for attention.

When she keeps her patterns small, her textures subdued, her colors strong and her lines simple, Michelle's style is unbeatable.

:headbang:
