'I'm going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can,' she said.


...Mrs Obama hugs children after reading them a book
at Mary's Centre in Washington


... more hugs...

...Mrs. Obama said she is aware of how her wardrobe is being scrutinised, but...makes no apologies...


Wu also designed the gown Mrs Obama wore on the night her husband was
inaugurated...

for the Vogue photo shoot...


Hillary Clinton was the first
First Lady to appear on the cover of Vogue for

...Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue...not this time.

'She doesn't need any help. She loves fashion and knows what works for her,' Vogue's editor at large Andre Leon Talley said....

...'She's so accessible, natural and normal. There's nothing affected about her,' he said.

On the cover of Vogue, she looks like she is smiling and sneering at the same time. Or she just smelled something really bad and is “trying” not to show it.

Unfortunate that the airbrush can do nothing about that horrible overbite.

Great.....another magazine I’ll have to turn around or cover with another in the checkout lane.

Thought I got caught the other day, but the old gal just smiled and nodded when she saw me do it.

Got my Sharpie ready for my Dr. appointment next week. I like to provide footnotes in his Time and Newsweek rags.

Normally I would not bother to comment on something so inconsequential as the appearance of the first lady. I would usually refrain even from commenting on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, although I would enjoy the pics. But there is something so ungainly about this woman that the fawning over her image becomes grotesque and should be remarked as part of the psychosis which has gripped the nation.

Ha! That’s what I do! But now I am considering carrying yellow post-its to put on the front of magazines saying “Vote the Commies out!”

This is nothing more than guilt-ridden liberal whites with
their arcane “ black is beautiful” paternalism!

I have to admit Hillary looks stunning in the Vogue shot.

This one.....**shudder**.... she needs someone else to pick her clothes. She seems to be quite talented at picking the opposite colors that work for her skin tone
