For all the majesty of the White House, the first lady has already infused it with a palpable ease; her presence makes the place feel open and approachable. When we sit down to talk, Michelle Obama seems as relaxed as she did when I first interviewed her and her husband in their Chicago apartment in 2004. "This room has the best light in the house," she tells me as we settle in, shoes off, on a comfortable sofa. "And there's pie here, too. The pie in the White House is dangerously good." -- Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey: How are you a different woman today than you were when Barack Obama announced his candidacy in 2007?
Michelle Obama: I'm more optimistic. More hopeful. It comes from traveling all over America and connecting with so many different people. And this was long before anyone thought Barack had a chance. This was the kindness of strangers. I think we should all have to get to know one another around kitchen tables. It changed me. It's helped me to give other people the benefit of the doubt.
Winfrey: What did you see that changed you?
Obama: I saw our shared values. We fundamentally want the same things for ourselves and for each other. We want our kids to be safe and to grow up with some resources and aspire to a slightly better life than ours. No one's looking for a handout. People just want fairness and opportunity.

Hey Omarosa! Where my pie at, foo?
LOL!
I agree, they both look awful. Oprah makes Michelle look “less awful” (hate the see-thru plastic belt).
Happiness is too subjective Shelly. Try for contentedness instead.
Way too many people these days are perverting their God-given desire for significance, which can be achieved with a personal relationship with the Creator through His Son,
and trying to make themselves significant through their works or belonging to some movement or cause.
... the word used by she who refuses to wear sleeves.
I don’t feel good if I don’t feel good.
Pissy.......they are a scary bunch....and not to bright at that, at least by what I have seen and heard, so far.
Michelle is a harmless airhead, it’s her husband and his gang of thieves that need to be stopped.
From what I've seen, heard and read; she is a Racist, and she has a lot of influence on him.
She may be brainless, but she ain't harmless.
