First Lady Michelle Obama said she's yet to peak -- even as she celebrates her 50th birthday at the White House this week.

"I'm first lady of the United States of America -- that's pretty high up," Obama said in a birthday-themed interview with People magazine. "But I've always felt like my life is ever-evolving."

She's pretty high up ... and that's why she's not going to sit on her massive talents ... but is thinking of ways to have an impact by going to Ireland and the Hoover Dam ... and why she doesn't obsess about what she eats!

[Tax-chick]

It all sounds like a parody.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thank God she's there to tell them to be healthy. They couldn't possibly think of that on their own.

[a fool in paradise]

Don’t let them eat cake!

[alloysteel]

Congratulations, Michelle, you are now officially a crone.

You have been a virago for years now.

[basil]

The wide assed mama speaks! All who have ears, let them hear.

[Zakeet]

It all sounds like a parody.

You're exactly correct.

That poor product of Harvard and Princeton is all of a mile wide and an inch deep despite the very best efforts of an army of handlers and a fawning media to portray her as otherwise.

In many ways I pity her.

“Women, be healthy. Don’t sleep with homosexual men.”

"I'm first lady of the United States of America -- that's pretty high up," Obama said in a birthday-themed interview with People magazine. "But I've always felt like my life is ever-evolving."

"I don't have the right to just sit on my talents or blessings," she said. "I've got to keep figuring out ways to have an impact -- whether as a mother or as a professional or as a mentor to other kids."

*******************************

What a model of humility. She should be an inspiration to us all.

It all sounds like a parody.

It goes with her wardrobe.

[Tax-chick]

I’m looking forward to being 50: 2-1/2 years to go. I promise not to inflict narcissistic banality on the FR community when it’s my birthday. I’ll just get drunk and be silly.

[Tax-chick]

Excellent point.

>> My message to women is be healthy

Michelle O: “Be healthy like me - lobsters for lunch, wagu beef for supper, and don’t forget three times of tons of caviar (the most expensive kind) in between meals.

And most important of all, only move about when there’re photographers/cameras around.”

[b4its2late]

Hahaha.... yeah, trouble in paradise.

[b4its2late]

Cool. Post pictures too!

[angcat]

Drop dead Michelle.

Michelle Obama on her 50th birthday: My message to women is...to have a fatter butt than mine. That way, in comparison, mine looks slim.

She's got a message for other women, as well: "be healthy." She's says she's never missed a mammogram or pap smear and while she says she doesn't "obsess" about what she eats, she makes certain to eat vegetables and fruit.

This article is ALL about her. Even her pap smears!! Ugh, she hasn't a clue; she ain't that important! None of us are. It's Christ the King who rules, and *clears throat, Michelle* He doesn't think abortion is "healthy."

Be healthy,or die with the blessings of Obamacare.Last year my wife had to have emergency open heart surgery to correct an aortic aneurysm.Total cost was close to 300k,insurance covered all but 3000.00.I doubt that the death panel would spend that kind of money on a 45 year old woman-just let her die,it makes better economic sense.
