I caught this interview on CNN, and all I can say is how charming and intelligent I found Michelle
Obama to be. Ann Coulter, be damned, I think we are going to have a very fine first lady.

Time for a real down to earth woman to be first lady, not saying that hill was not. But Michelle is a true lady and celebrated motherhood, wifedom and all that goes with it. What a shinig example!

After watching Michelle Obama's interview on Larry King I was thoroughly impressed.

This lady is dynamite.

She would make a strong case for any cause she took up.

I hope that we are able to use her talents to the fullest as well.

The Obamas are a powerhouse couple!

I think this might actually belong on lifestyle or media rather than politics.

I'm just glad Michelle's brother approved of how Barack played basketball. Where would we be now if her brother hadn't approved?

To the entire team at the United States Department of Human Resources: Nice recruiting this year!

Anyone find it interesting that during Obama's time in Washington, she has never been to his apartment?

Because they decided they would keep the childrens life as normal as possible in Chicago, and Barack shared an apt with other people and only stayed their 4 nights a week, and then went home.

I guess I'm alone in cringing every time she says she thought he'd be "nerdy" and was going to be "polite", but he turned out to be "cuter" than she thought.

Sorry, but that just sounds so snobby. Like she's in high school at the cool kids table and is pretty sure this guy won't be good enough for her.

In the WH, she's going to be around dozens of "nerds". I'm glad she'll be "polite" to them anyway.

Not impressed by her "too good for him" narrative (heard it many times now, too).

You're the snob, NotMcCain

C'mon now. In life, we find that someone just "rubs us the wrong way". You don't have to grasps at straws for your dislike of the future first lady. Her impressions were genuine and understandable. What person listening to that would think, "She thinks she's too good for him." Sounds to me like someone has some unresolved issues from their dating history.

Right.

The video link isn't working anymore, but I'm sure I can find it elsewhere. In any case, she's awesome.
