Michelle Obama Pinterest: First Lady Joins Pinterest, Pins Wedding Photo

WASHINGTON -- Michelle Obama is up on Pinterest.

The first lady's profile on the social networking site went live Wednesday with three boards highlighting photos from around the White House, "great memories" and Father's Day.

Mrs. Obama captioned some of the photos herself, including recent shots of the Obama family skipping stones and playing minigolf, and older family photos including a wedding day picture.

By midmorning, Mrs. Obama had more than 1,600 followers on the site. Pinterest is particularly popular with women, and represents one more tool for reaching out to voters in an election year.

Ann Romney, the wife of Obama's GOP rival Mitt Romney, joined Pinterest in February.

I love this family. I am proud to have them as our first family.

She has four years to prepare for replacing him. The only thing she needs to learn is to cut all ties with Corporate America, she knows all about the ties with the people.

[blndgenie]

06:42 AM on 06/14/2012

The ties on her $800 Lanvin sneakers that she wore to the soup kitchen were awesome! Not to mention the $5000 handbags! In the meantime she should become a promoter for those amazingly exclusive 1%-er resorts she vacations at..........you know promote the places she loves yet the middle class and poor will never see............

Do you realize how silly your comment is? When Ms Obama had the guts to run in a $ 40 Hennis & Mauritz outfit all of you were crying hell.Whatever this family does, there are allways people that disaggree. It is impossible for the Obama`s to make everybody happy, even on the silliest of all events,

[FiredUpRTG]

Jealous. When you put your Princeton and Harvard degrees to work and then marry someone who sells millions of books, then you too will be able to shop at both Lanvin and Target and mix and match.

Don't be selective; she shops everywhere.

She's the 1st Lady; she's expected to wear clothing in both ends of the cost spectrum, otherwise she would be criticized.

Beautiful family

I care that there are bright people in the White House, and not rehabbed 'holics and party girls.

lol, says the person who took the 'time' to write a comment about it. You care alright.

The people who screech about Michelle...a black woman who has things they don't. It must really burn.

[blndgenie]

06:43 AM on 06/14/2012

Only the part about her preaching 'sacrifice' while she and her 1% husband enjoy a very lavish life paid for by taxpayers.

[FiredUpRTG]

01:11 PM on 06/14/2012

The lavish life is paid by book sales. His books are required reading in US schools and all over the world.

The home in which they currently live and the amenities — cooks, cleaning — go with the position, and anyone in this position would live the same way.

Someone's jealous…

[Kilgarvan]

01:16 AM on 06/16/2012

What would you like the next president to do (assuming it's a Republican)?  That same "lavish life" will be spent on them.  Will you be just as angry then?

[Leslib]

11:58 PM on 06/13/2012

Don't feed the trolls. They're out in full force any time there's a positive story about the first family.

Look at that smile on his face. I want a husband just like that one day. He's so proud of her, and he loves her so much. And he still smiles at her just that way even in current pictures.

Beautiful!

SICKO!!!

How sad you have nothing positive to do today.

[dessertsfirst]

12:34 AM on 06/14/2012

I am a retired RN, and after reading your blogs, I am sad to see that the word "nurse" is discredited; I would suggest that 'wondernurse', you are not!!. But, hey, that's just me!!
Peace!

Are we really going to see a " isn't Michelle wonderful story" EVERY day until the election ?

[Apollonavigator]

At least in this echo chamber we are. I really look forward to them taking up residency in Chicago again.

[Adam E Donaldson]

If Romney wins and screws the economy up worse, will it be "gosh, man we we're wrong..." or will you spin it somehow? We know you know how...I mean, there were no fricken WMDs in Iraq, and people just looked the other way. You're the get out of jail free party.

[Kali03]

I hope so!

The only problem with pintrest is you HAVE to connect though effbook.

I don't have a facebook page and I have a Pinterest page. Just go directly to the site, Pinterest dot com

So far I got the same "sign up with facebook". I'm trying it again only with a different email than the one I use for fb. We'll see if that works! Thanks

Malia looks like Barack while Sasha resembles Michelle. Malia could easily be a fashion model. I want to see them all in person.

[chiara12]

09:11 PM on 06/13/2012

Not gonna happen. This country is really not foolish enough to go for the empty vessel that is Romney. No way.

[Bluegirl85]

09:55 PM on 06/13/2012

We had repub policies with Bush. What is Mitt offering that is different? I really want to know.

[PunKinPai]

11:51 PM on 06/13/2012

I don't see the resemblances the same way. I think Mrs. Robinson, Michelle and Malia look like the same face at three different ages.

[yougogirl1948]

03:02 AM on 06/14/2012

@PunKinPal:

I don't see much resemblance in Malia to her mom, Michelle's, side of the family. She, IMO, looks the most like her dad who looks just like his mom, Ann Dunham, who looks like her father, Stanley Dunham. They all have long faces and prominent foreheads.

Sasha has her dad's nose and profile, but if you look at her baby pictures, she looks just like Michelle when Michelle was a baby. They are indeed a lovely family, and they do a wonderful job representing our nation.

Hasty Generalization = faulty logic. Take a critical thinking class.
