First lady Michelle Obama will lead the official American delegation to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, the White House announced on Friday. The group includes women's soccer Olympic great Brandi Chastain and basketball star Grant Hill, a member of the 1996 Olympics squad
"This summer I'll be cheering on Team U.S.A. at the Olympic Games in London with this distinguished group of champions who truly represent the best of our country," the first lady said in a statement released by the White House.
"Olympians and Paralympians are true American heroes and role models for all of us, especially our young people. And I know that this delegation will help inspire a generation of young people to get into the Olympic spirit by getting active and healthy so they can reach their fullest potential and reach their dreams."
The delegation also includes Gabriel Diaz de Leon, a Paralympic Games javelin gold medalist and discus silver medalist; Summer Sanders, who swam to gold, silver and bronze medals in the 1992 games; gymnastics gold medalist Dominique Dawes; and the American ambassador to the U.K., Louis Susman.

There’s just no getting away from these people. They’re everywhere.
And how much did that cost?
Oh goodness Annie.....You are back from the dead? Anyway someone said 3-4 million dollars a few posts up... I love you and all, but sometimes you are dense as hell.
Is she gonna lead jumping jacks in her Jimmy Choo kitten heels?
Look out London, there go the lobstas
And hide the Queen ‘for she get another wookie hug
She will extend the ceremonial One Finger Salute to the IOC for not choosing Chicago...
137 more miserable days and this filthy Obama trash can start packing.
WTFFFF?
Maybe Michelle will be attired in a tight weight lifters pink spandex body suit and she’ll carry a sign saying eat broccoli?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Multiple gold medal winner, and expected to break new world records this year.
Especially in the hot dogs w/Crystal champagne, and wagyu beef w/Diet Pepsi categories.
I hear the Queen has already ordered the expensive silverware be taken back into the Royal vaults.
You know, that’s real mean.
What did the person in the photo ever do to you?
;^)
The athletes just go out and do it.
Michelle goes out and orders it.
The first group are champions.
The other is a grand chumpion.
One group will be lucky if they get a gold medal.
We’ll be lucky if the other doesn’t get a God medal.

I hope Ann Romney’s horse poops on her head!
