First Lady Michelle Obama....

Yep, I am right there with you...I had to wipe tears from my face a couple of times. She is by FAR, the most amazing First Lady to me.

When she talks about how the President interacts with the girls, it is just so real and makes him so normal and human and relatable!

I so agree G... when she talked about how they grew up that they didn't have much and their parents did everything they could to help them out as children and young adults. I thought about my parents and how they helped us out growing up as much as they could even though they didn't have a lot of money.

one more quote....

"...And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."

You bet,she is by far the best first lady,she lives life in a real world dealing with things that everyday people do.I imagine if she had ask for the presidency it would be hers.

Agreed. A few times in our history, I think the First Lady should have been the president or at least had a strong influence in the Presidents decisions. Here are my top three.

1. Eleanor Roosevelt
2. Hillary Clinton
3. Michelle Obama

Not in my order of preference. In order of a historical time line. All very wise women and leaders.

Here is a video of our First Lady's speech so we can watch again and again.

Love you, Michelle! Every time I lose faith in America, I'll watch this.

I'm just loving the idea of Barack at dinnertime strategizing with Malia the ins and outs of middle school social life. I wonder if that's not harder than international relations some days.

Electrocell · 09-05-2012, 02:04 AM

Wow fantastic speech. Well she and Barack have got my vote. Hopefully she will run for President after his next 4 yrs is up.

Great thought, Martina. I would imagine the similarities are astounding. Bullies and allies are bullies and allies...no matter the situation room (home room, cafeteria room, war room).

I have not been able to see it yet because I am working, but I can't wait to see it when I get home. Yay!

You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “mom-in-chief.” -- First Lady, Michelle Obama (DNC 2012)

Didn't hear her speech, but I smiled when I read the transcript

I honestly think they are both the utmost genuine people in the public eye. I truly appreciate them and the way they love each other, and their children. I have never seen an American president look at his wife and children with so much love. It is amazing to behold. I really appreciate having them in the White House. They make me proud to be an American.
