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; Chicago never made it to the final round.***
OK, expectations were impossibly high when Michelle stepped into the role of first lady in January. African-American women in particular followed her every move—from her attention-getting wardrobe choices to her brief remarks on domestic policy. The truth is, she's done pretty much what she said she'd do. She's served as the "mom in chief" helping her family adjust to life in Washington. She's opened the White House doors to local residents for evenings of mentoring and jazz music. Her schedule—which is typically jampacked on the three days of the week she holds public events—has included more than 50 visits to schools and community centers. She's accompanied the president to seven countries on three different trips. She's also made good on her vow to take up the problems of military families by visiting bases regularly to personally hear their stories of pain and loss—tales she relays to White House staffers back home. She's even been Hula-Hooping with kids on the White House lawn to play up the virtues of exercise and healthy eating.
But I selfishly yearn for more...

LOL
It does look like a tire......
Lamps or ashtrays?
Yes, way to much. You can’t miss her. She’s got a butt as big as a caboose on a mile-long freight train. This woman has no grace, class, manners decencey or love of the country that has given her everything she has and enjoys and her husband as been elected to ‘’preserve, protect and defend’’. I can’t stand the two of them and what their doing to America.
“”TONED”” LoL! Good Lord, what a back-side this broad has! Somewhere a freight-train is missing its caboose.
Can you imagine what the first lady’s office would be like in year six with all those power hungry corporate bitties being undermined by each other and all those scheming deputy this and that gay boys working to sabotage their plans?
Chaos in a yellow sleeveless number.
Johnny, this woman is chaos just standing still, buck-ass naked! Seriously, six years? We’re lucky if we make it to the end of next year. Or sooner.
The Dissing of Laura Bush
By WILLIAM MCGURN
By choosing Fort Bragg for her first official trip outside the capital last Thursday, Michelle Obama signaled that she will use her position as First Lady to promote one of America’s most deserving causes: our military families.
It was just a little disconcerting the next morning to hear the First Lady explain how she came to this issue during last year’s campaign.
“I think I was like most Americans,” she told ABC News. “Pretty oblivious to the life of military families. Sort of taking it for granted.”
Perhaps Mrs. Obama did take these families for granted. Surely, however, it’s extraordinary to suggest that “most Americans” did the same.

She’s such a moron and just because she and her elite and give-me-a-handout friends hate and/or ignore the military, doesn’t mean that “most Americans” aren’t aware of them.
The same way the last jealous b**ch in the white house did: With an ashtray.
How Will Michelle Obama Make Her Mark?
