1. Excuse me for saying so, but

Hubba hubba!

[Sherman A1]

2. GREAT!!!

Thanks

[Warren Stupidity]

3. O NOES! THE BEAR ARMZ!

The other thing I recently learned is that we are all very upset that Michelle wears dresses with straps instead of sleeves. Prior to this injection of knowledge I just thought she was a great looking woman. Now I am outraged at her impropriety.

[acmavm]

14. Yeah, someone in that thread was carping that he expected a little

more 'modesty' from the First Lady.

What some people find to bitch about is just amazing. I think she looks classy, bare arms and all.

[Lex]

16. I hope she and Barack remember to wear

these bathing suits to the beach (for modesty's sake):

[NOW tense]

4. She radiates strength, intelligence, and beauty.

The modern day First Partner.

[NOW tense]

6. Hey my 1000th was something positive

:woohoo:

[dkf]

5. She look so elegant in pearls.

She has really great shoulders too.

[Orrex]

7. It just occurred to me that she looks more Presidential than most recent Presidents

Obama in '12! And Obama in '16! And Obama in '20!

8. Put a smile on MY face.

The more I see her the hotter she gets. That's a good looking woman right there. And just as sharp as her husband. The contrast with the previous pair is stunning. I'm still not used to it.



BTW, I'm not suggesting Laura was ugly or stupid, but her association with, and enabling of, her scumbag husband overwhelmingly negated any hint of attractiveness or intelligence.

15. i agree about laura

wouldn't the rushian shit if michelle ran!!!

[UrbScotty]

9. Damn, that woman's HAWT!

[Better Believe It]

10. Where can I find the portrait at the White House website to copy or buy?

[lunatica]

11. What an elegant photograph

Our elegant First Lady fits perfectly into the historic surroundings of our White House. And I love the flowers. They're the perfect finishing touch to a fantastic photograph with their dazzling contrast with her pearls and her great smile to the simple black dress. Michelle's beauty is timeless.

Obviously the photographer knows his/her business!

[Kitty Herder]

12. I am so jealous of her arms.

My arms wouldn't look that good in a sleeveless dress no matter how many hours I spent in the gym. I have flab that won't die. (The ugly farmer tan on my arms doesn't help any, either.)

[Swede]

13. Both the Obamas seem so at ease,and real.

Thanks for posting this.

[sammythecat]

17. I know what you mean by "real"

Even though it's posed picture, it's easy to tell that smile is genuine. And absolutely refreshing to see after her predecessors seemingly permanent frozen smile. This is just a great picture.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

18. Ah, that makes me happy. In sharp contrast to the Bush years...

... at almost any occasion, the US president is the smartest, most confident, most competent person in the room... until his wife comes in. Some say that's now it was in the Clinton era. Michelle is a great contrast from the First Mannequin we've had these last 8 years.

[DainBramaged]

19. If she was sitting in a Corvette I'd be even happier....

:hi:

[Roadless]

20. No ones "ass comfort" is worth chopping down a tree for

It's just not sustainable. Use the cheap recycled stuff.

[Swede]

26. You post in the wrong thread?

:shrug:

[havocmom]

32. in the wrong galaxy

[rvablue]

27. What a stupid comment. In general but also given the fact those "ass comforters" are probably

about 100 years old and have been recycled over and over again by different First families.

[Debi]

29. Wow...errr

Welcome to DU??? :shrug:

[Deja Q]

30. So what brand do you use?

Or do you pick leaves off of trees?

Or do you just pick something else?

:hide:

[Withywindle]

33. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

[NewtonsAve]

34. But didn't you accidentally the whole thing?

[Withywindle]

35. it's in taters.

[Blue-Jay]

36. Huh?

[Roadless]

37. That comment belongs in the TP thread, sorry. NM

[Fla Dem]

21. She is a beautiful and classy lady. A role model for all young girls. n/t

[doodadem]

22. Michelle is truly beautiful.

I think that every time I see her.

I have to admit to being curious as to what size she is.......for her height (which I'm not sure about either, except in relation to Obama), I'd guess about a 12......

[donheld]

23. Simply elegant

A first Lady I'm very proud of in every way.

[mnhtnbb]

24. Wow. Just WOW!

[busybl]

25. beautiful photo

I'm jealous though. How do you get those arms?

[libodem]

28. She's lovely

and smart and I also don't see her putting up with any nonsense. I hope we can say nice stuff about her without somebody barfing that we idol worship the first family. I'm sincerely happy to have someone I feel proud of in the White House.

31. Reminds me of Jackie Kennedy
