Wow that man who's head is cropped of in the fourth to last picture truly is blinging it out in Africa. I swear the gaudiness of his jewelry puts our rappers to shame...straight pimping it in Ghana and I mean no disrespect.

I love Michelle Obama. I love her shape and curves. To all the critics out there, women come in all shapes and sizes, different men love different things. Everything she wears may not wow you but to that, no first lady has wowed me like she has. I didn't pay attention to what Laura, Hillary, Barbara, or Nancy wore, how they looked, what they did, or how they interacted with their kids. Michelle? Different story. She's out there doing good things and I am glad she is the FLOTUS. I just got through watching a segment of the Ed Show on MSNBC and they were talking about what Sarah Palin's plans are. I agree, she's a interesting woman but President? No way. She has absolutely no appeal within the Afro-American community and as far as I can tell none with the Latino community as well. I wish they had some pictures of her visiting with young Afro-American and Latina women. I feel she has to do some type of crossover moves to appeal to a wider range of groups. When I listen to her it's all style, no substance. Just a bunch of "you betchas", "gosh darns" and winking. Get money too..lol...but if you're going to put yoursef out there again just practice long and hard. Barack is a heavyweight now. The guy's a master debater now and has OJT so just practice. This is my opinion and I don't want to argue about it.

[Haitiana4Obama]

Amen to that!

I don't like to travel, but these beautiful pictures, of
our First Family make me wish I was on that trip.
He is bringing the respect for our country back.

What a tragedy. We needed a strong leader, but we hired a freakin tourist for POTUS

[MamaBird62]

Do you ever read instead of just looking at pictures?

[zumare]

Of course he doesn't know how.

[tangelan]

And you have to su.ck on it for 8 years. I almost feel sorry for you.

[Niasia]

You show just how narrow your mind is! At least he is not on a constant vacation.

[SpankMePlease]

i'm sure you preferred someone who was content to see russia from her house instead of actually going there.

sorry that didn't work out.

[mikerobjohn]

Man, did you see that real BLING on the African man??

[Ajegunle]

Ghana the land of gold.

Best gold in the world.

[DaisyDooks]

Yes, it is.

[DaisyDooks]

I attended the Ghana Fest this past weekend. I had an awesome time. I saw so many beautiful brothers and sisters. I felt like I was at home in the Motherland.

[PhilipB]

Yes, I noticed the gold bracelet in Ghana! That was amazing.

[Jackie Dillard]

It's only worn for ceremonial reasons not for bling effect. lol

[NikkiT]

Obama is doing a great job. He's a great role model and World Leader.

[MMJones]

I am so proud that this is our First Family.

Goodwill arpund the globe is good for the usa, and its good to know the girls got to go, they deserve to travel with their parents and boy what a first class education, traveling outside the us is so important. MO looked very nice in the photos. maybe she's been reading the style section posts.

Obama has a special invitation from Wendell Potter. If he doesn't show up for this, we'll finally get to see whose side Obama is on -- his corporate handlers or the people.
