Tina Brown said on GMA that Michelle O is the only possible replacement for Oprah. I imagine what a Michelle O show would look like.

An update on a story we ran two days ago. Here's the background: I've been watching this for a couple of days. Finally decided to blog about it. I think this except sums up the liberal outrage and Google's response. From Michelle Obama Watch: It has been 2 days since I began my countdown to how long it would take Google to FIX their image search result for Michelle Obama. Just in case you’ve never done a search I’ll save you the time. This is what you will find… Well...Google caved. Here was Google's response to the fringe blogger:...

Sometimes Big Brother needs help. I've been watching this for a couple of days. Finally decided to blog about it. I think this except sums up the liberal outrage and Google's response. From Michelle Obama Watch: "It has been 2 days since I began my countdown to how long it would take Google to FIX their image search result for Michelle Obama. Just in case you’ve never done a search I’ll save you the time. This is what you will find…" Offensive? Or just plain funny? You can decide that. By the way, I don't seem to recall any outrage...

What do you wear when you're invited to lunch with Michelle Obama? If you're Rebecca Martinez, a 17-year-old at Sheridan High School, you wear a satin blouse and a pencil skirt "because it's so in right now." If you're actress Susan Sarandon, you wear a slouchy off-white jacket, roomy trousers and sneakers because you've been around long enough to know how high heels torture your feet after you've been standing for a couple of hours. If you're actress Fran Drescher and want everyone to know you're still a hottie, you wear a curve-hugging navy- blue sweater dress and knee-high boots.snipEighty...

The Obama girls and Michelle O were dressed in designer French labels for their official White House portrait. Maybe you didn't know this because the MSM has a protective shield over the family. If they were Republicans there probably would be an outcry at the very least. BTW, they all look wonderful and I love the clothes. Granny J

First Lady Michelle Obama didn't let a common cold get in the way of keeping health care reform in the news while her husband travels to Asia for diplomatic meetings and an economic summit. Obama apologized for her sniffles to a Friday gathering of mostly women in the East Room of the White House, where she highlighted the medical needs of older women.

Critics Rave About Barack and Michelle Obama-You Will Too If You're Stark Raving Mad.

WASHINGTON--Michelle Obama, the wife of the U.S. president, will not be joining him on his visit to Japan starting Friday. Instead, she is giving priority to her duties as a mother. The couple's daughters Malia and Sasha are sixth- and third-graders, respectively, at a private school in Washington, D.C. They have classes during the president's week-long tour of Asia. The girls, along with their mother, joined President Barack Obama on part of his tour of Europe and Turkey between the end of March and April, as well as trips to Europe, Russia and Africa in July, while on school vacation....

The First Lady, a woman widely acclaimed for her fashion sense in the courtier media, has no common sense at all when it comes to respecting a solemn occasion. Apparently, nobody among her score of personal aides in the White House had the gumption to tell her she was about to make a fool of herself at the Veterans Day memorial.

Michelle Obama pretends she's still that little girl from the south side. She's fooled a lot of people as has her husband, what's his name.

Pass the sick bucket. This week Michelle Obama, first lady, wife, mom, has taken on a new role, as dating adviser to the world’s single females. In an interview with American Glamour magazine, she clearly sets out her policy on one of the most pressing social issues facing young women. Rule number one: don’t pick a man just because of his looks. “Cute’s good,” says the woman married to the cutest political leader the world has ever seen. “But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, 'Who are you as a person?’" “That’s the advice I would give...

Yawwwwwwwn. Time to wake up, put on my $500+ and go for a Once that’s done comes a quick change from Shorts Outfit #1 (dog-walking gear) to Shorts Outfit #2 (tourist gear) Fun's over: now for the serious stuff. So, armed with a $900 (or was it $6,000?) handbag I'm now ready to face world leaders and their better-halves Though sparse, I spend what little free time I have after making sacrifices for everyone else tending to my lead-ridden veggie patch

When Michelle Obama moved into the White House, she instantly became one of the most famous first ladies in history, a symbol of racial pride, a victor in the battle of the sexes and the picture of a modern woman, mother and wife. But from her days on the campaign trail to her residency in the White House, Obama’s favorability rating has been in flux, from a low of 48 percent in June 2008 to a peak of 72 percent last March to a slide to 61 percent in a recent Gallup Poll. That 11-point stumble – some might call...

I don't think enough people have watched this Hannity video. Please email to all your friends. Here is what we are looking at. Health Care Reform is just a big scam to benefit the people who helped get Obama elected. Don't Be fooled people, if they did it once they will do it again. This Hannity show is old, but apparently not enough people watched it! Video is on the site...

Michelle Obama will be appearing on Iron Chef, but I discovered that isn't the only reality show she'll be on.

She is known for her unconventional choices and now US first lady Michelle Obama is setting another precedent by the first presidential wife to appear on a reality TV series. The First Lady will make a guest appearance on the popular series 'Iron Chef America' which features British cook Nigella Lawson as a judge, reported Daily Mail online. The episode of the popular series, which pits well-known chefs against each others, has been filmed at the White House and will be aired in the New Year. Many of the ingredients for the meals prepared in the show were chosen from...

Michelle Obama is to be the first presidential wife to appear on a reality TV series. The First Lady will make a guest appearance on 'Iron Chef America' which features British cook Nigella Lawson as a judge. The episode of the popular series, which pits well-known chefs against each others, has been filmed at the White House and will be aired in the New Year. Many of the ingredients for the meals prepared in the show were chosen from the recently planted White House vegetable garden.

Having the White House at your disposal means many things, but on Halloween it means there is no excuse but to have an almighty party. And the Obamas did just that in Washington last night, throwing open their - for the occasion orange-tinged - doors to thousands of children. While the President himself eshewed any fancy dress and opted for chinos and a jumper, his wife Michelle could not resist getting into the party spirit. The First Lady channelled Catwoman in furry cat ears, a striking leopard print cardigan and camisole top and dramatic eye make-up.

The nation would live happily every after.... See an awesome pic at the below link.

After seeing this video and you don't believe that the title is true, then you must be blind.

Tomorrow is Halloween or as known to the Pagans as Samhain, or even All Hallows eve. What ever. To me, it is a massive party night! I wonder what our President and First Wookie will be wearing on their first Halloween? Up until now, the First Wookie has been scary enough with her outfits, so dressing up for Halloween can only appear normal compared to what we, the American people have seen. As for scary? Well we have already been scared by the bills they are trying to pass and have already passed. Ghosts and goblins on Halloween? Those are...

Michelle Obama may actually be creating more jobs than her husband, the President. Unfortunately, all of the jobs she has created have apparently been to surround herself with aides to assist her with her tedious job of finally being proud of America.

NEW YORK — U.S. first lady Michelle Obama is fashion's star, but that's not why she's one of Glamour's December cover models. Mrs. Obama's work in mentoring earned her the spot, which will be rotated with four other covers. She'll receive a special recognition in the annual Women of the Year issue that goes on newsstands Nov. 10. In an interview with new Glamour columnist and CBS anchor Katie Couric, Mrs. Obama said being a role model is one of the most potentially powerful things she can do at the White House. "I see how little bits of exposure and...

Michelle Obama stated at a public event that her husband's mother, Ann Dunham, was "very young and very single" when she gave birth to the future U.S. president. Her comments undermine the official story as told by Barack Obama – that Dunham was married to his father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of birth. The remarks were made by Michelle Obama during a July 2008 round table at the University of Missouri. Obama was responding to criticism of her husband's presidential campaign speeches about fatherhood and faith-based initiatives. Michelle Obama explained her husband understands the struggles of low-income families....

The White House announced this afternoon that Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden will make a trip to New York on Wednesday to attend game one of the World Series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies.

In little noticed remarks, Michelle Obama stated at a public event that her husband's mother, Ann Dunham, was "very young and very single" when she gave birth to the future U.S. president. Her comments further undermine the official story as told by Barack Obama – that Dunham was married to his father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of birth. -------

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, will attend Game 1 of the 105th World Series on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium in support of Welcome Back Veterans, Major League Baseball announced on Tuesday amid preparations for the big opener. It will be the first of four consecutive games prefaced by overall themes pertaining to MLB's Going Beyond campaign for community service and charitable involvement -- an unprecedented approach to the Fall Classic. Game 2 will focus on Volunteerism and Community Service (including the Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevy), Game 3 will...

The word "fair" conjures up images of merry-go-rounds, fluffy, pink cones of spun sugar, candy apples and popcorn. Not if you are invited to the White House. Excited Washington DC school children, disembarking from yellow school buses on the South Lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue were in for a big shock! The Obamas' idea of a kid's fair included sermons extolling the benefits of replacing cake and French fries with vegetables. Imagine finding out you have the afternoon off and are going to the White House for a "fair." When you get there you realize the festivities include Michelle doing...

London, October 25 (ANI): Michelle Obama has become the subject of a new book that hails her style and wardrobe for influencing the fashion pages. “Mrs O: The Face of Fashion Democracy”, published by Hachette, celebrates the US First Lady’s closet from the campaign trail to the White House. The tome glances at the mum-of-two’s designer dresses to affordable brands with more than 120 pictures, reports the Telegraph. It also features interviews from some of Michelle’s favourite designers, such as Isabel Toledo, Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Maria Pinto and Isaac Mizrahi. Mary Tomer, 28, who works in advertising for Bartle...

Billy Mays comes back to sell Michelle Obama's first exercise video. If you call now or are the tenth caller a surprise awaits you.

Michelle Obama decided to go all in. Ever since her husband took office in January, the first lady has been cautious about the causes she embraced. But with her hometown of Chicago vying to host the 2016 Olympics, Michelle boarded a plane to Copenhagen last month to make a personal appeal. She brought along Oprah Winfrey, worked her sleeveless charm on the assembled dignitaries, and even lunched with the Queen of Denmark. Her efforts culminated in a passionate televised speech to the International Olympic -Committee—-perhaps her most high-profile advocacy ever. Then it all fell flat. Rio won the Olympic bid;...

Charles Blow Forgive me in advance for fawning, but Michelle Obama is the coolest first lady ever. She clinched it for me this week by jumping double Dutch on the South Lawn as part of a “healthy kids fair.” The scene underscored my impression of the first lady as utterly unencumbered by convention. She seems to feel free — free enough to loosen up and laugh a little, free enough to let her inner child peek through the veil of parenthood, free enough to be herself. ..." I could pile on platitudes here about her professional accomplishments, or explore to...

Barry and Michelle Obama really cannot—or they just plain refuse to—relate to the average American. The more I rack my brain trying to figure it out, the more I come up with one conclusion: The Obamas, in my opinion, are hardcore, liberal elitists who will never, can never, and won’t ever empathize or sympathize with the issues of the average American…try as hard as they may in putting on a show to that effect. It being a Friday night and me being a happening guy and all…I decided to stay in and watch the liberal network known as NBS (no,...

Here is video yesterday of First Lady Michelle Obama showing off her "hula-hoop" skills by keeping the hoop going for 142 swivels on the White House Lawn during a Health and Fitness emphasis held there. She also jumped rope with kids and ran an obstacle course. . . . (VIDEO)

Michelle Obama To Go On Leno Show Friday First Lady to answer questions via satellite during ‘Ten @ Ten’ segment By Courtney Hazlett NEW YORK - First Lady Michelle Obama will be a guest on “The Jay Leno Show” on Friday night. Obama will check in via satellite from Washington for the “Ten @ Ten” segment, where she’ll answer a series of 10 questions from Leno, according to representatives from “The Jay Leno Show.” This is Michelle Obama’s first appearance on Leno since his switch to prime time. As for the “Ten @ Ten” segment itself, she’s in good company,...

Things are so brutal out there for The Jay Leno Show that even the First Lady for it[sic] may not be able to work a miracle — and they just got a little worse. While Leno is routinely beaten in the ratings by 10pm shows on the other big networks, it fell behind another scripted drama on Tuesday, and this one was on cable. In the all-important 18-49 demographic, Leno was crushed by FX’s Sons of Anarchy, which drew 3.7 million viewers and a 2.05 rating to Leno’s 1.8. Somewhere, the cast and crew of the potentially cable-bound Southland are...

WASHINGTON — ...Obama also managed a spot-on imitation of kids whining about eating their vegetables. "I don't wanna eat it. I don't like it. It tastes bad. I don't want it," the first lady said in her best nasal whine. Then she added: "We don't want to hear the whining. We want you to eat it. Just eat it." After checking out the food demonstrations, Obama hiked up her belt and joined a crowd of young hula hoopers, keeping up with the best of them. She didn't do so well when it came to jumping rope, but it wasn't for...

Robin Leach profiles the Obamas for his TV show.

The fashions of Michelle Obama. Thank God those rich,elitist Republicans are out of power.

This is a busy time of year in the Obama household. Like so many parents all across this country, I watch with a mixture of pride and anxiety as my daughters stuff their backpacks, kiss me goodbye, and move ahead in another school year without so much as a backwards glance. My girls are now making new friends, tackling challenging new subjects, and moving closer to becoming the strong, confident women I know they can be. But when I see them come home, bursting with excitement about something they have learned or someone they have met, I can't help but...

Coming soon: a 6-inch plastic doll of Michelle Obama for $12.99, being billed as an "action figure." Sculptor Jason Feinberg of Brooklyn, N.Y., who's behind the dolls, admits the term "action figure" is used loosely. The first lady, after all, is featured in nothing more lethal than her trademark sleeveless dresses (and enviable biceps). Buyers may choose from among the purple dress she had on when the Obamas shared their campaign "fist bump," the red-and-black number from election night in Grant Park, or the black-and-white floral frock she favored for her appearance on "The View." Feinberg, founder and president of...

Here is video of First Lady Michelle Obama giving a speech in which she talked about the importance of healthy nutrition habits as a family. She said she could identify with mothers who work and then come home "to an empty refrigerator," and "kids who don't want to eat anything you have in mind." She said in those days, "drive-thru was like heaven" because you just wanted to "give them what they want" and have a peaceful meal. But her perspective changed when their pediatrician urged her to change the family eating habits because the impact of the drive-thru food...

Research into the family of US First Lady Michelle Obama has revealed that her great-great-great-grandmother was a slave given away at the age of six. According to genealogist Megan Smolenyak, the girl was described in papers only as "negro girl Melvinia". In her early teens, working as a slave on a farm in Georgia, she was made pregnant by an unknown white man. The son she gave birth to around the year 1859, Dolphus, was Michelle's great-great grandfather. Megan Smolenyak, whose discoveries have been detailed in the New York Times newspaper, said she was not surprised by what she discovered....

While President Obama is smart enough to grow into the office, his bizarre behavior thus far gives cause to wonder not only about that matter, but also to wonder about what aspect(s) of his life have had the greatest impact on his philosophies and consequently his approach to governance. In the face of the deep recession, with unemployment rising through the year to a current 9.8%, he’s seen that Michelle Obama has shopped for days in Paris (her own private U.S. jet, secret service and whatever else) and used three U.S. jets and all appropriate security measures, vehicles, and paraphernalia...

It seemed to be a perfect example of a tasteless political fib: Michelle Obama invoking a heart-wrenching but untrue story about her daughter Sasha's medical woes. A conservative blogger concluded: "Today Mrs. Obama says (Sasha) was four months old but fortunately did not have meningitis. Yet just eight days ago her husband said she was three months old and was diagnosed with meningitis." One blog used the opportunity to reprint the Obama-as-Joker photo, HotAir.com called it "serious incompetence" on the Obamas' part, it appeared on Breitbart.tv, and the crowd over at FreeRepublic.com dubbed the president a "chronic liar."

It's a humbling realization, but anybody aspiring to grow in wisdom must understand that he is but one of six and a half billion people on this blue orb, no more important than anybody else.  Yet this is something that eludes many in a modern culture of self-esteem exercises, wherein children are sometimes raised as if the world revolves around them.  And watching Michelle Obama's speech while lobbying the International Olympics Committee (IOC) on Chicago's behalf made it plain that she was -- and perhaps still is -- one of those children. I'm not the first to note how thoroughly...
