The first lady beamed in blue last night during the State of the Union address. The president laid out his accomplishments and plans for the upcoming year to Congressional leaders and other VIPs, setting the stage for his reelection campaign. Michelle will be one of his strongest supporters in the political battle, but tonight she was joined by people most Americans, regardless of politics, can respect. Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs and an education activist, sat right above Michelle in her box. The president mentioned Laurene's husband in the speech, saying: "We should support everyone who's willing to work; and every risk-taker and entrepreneur who aspires to become the next Steve Jobs."

How can anyone "love" Michelle, when she clearly stated she was never proud to be a American
until Mr. O. got voted into the White House.....Plus she said our country is mean, so she deserves no "love or admiration", I say don't let the door hit you as your hubby gets voted out.
(he cheated anyway with phony signatures in Indiana).
