Mrs. Obama is signaling to the Nation to give others a chance to experience success and the American Dream. What an impressive gesture to give a young person the opportunity to succeed.

If this doesn't say it all about the spineless upper echelons of the traditional media. First you've got Brooks offended because the First Lady has sculpted biceps where he doesn't. Secondly, you've got Maureen Dowd writing a column on it.

Michelle's are powerful, gazellelike, and sexy. More than any other accessory, are the ultimate indication of her confidence.

Instead of complaining about why Mrs. Obama did not wear a black designer's dress to the inaugural festivities, take the opportunity to send your samples to the First Lady.
