ucrdem
(15,512 posts)by the way her campaign against childhood obesity has been another unsung success. Haven't checked the stats lately but last time I did they'd been declining for a couple of years. You wouldn't know it from the media of course!
Cha
(297,323 posts)to like?
Which reminds me of a comment I read on the DNC card for Michelle a couple of days ago(they let anyone post there evidently)..
Something about.. "what a bad mother.. makes her kids eat broccoli." This is what some of America is regurgitating. There were worse ones.. glad everyone Appreciates our First Lady, around here.

(15,512 posts)and they never miss a trick do they . . . well let them eat Big Macs LOL!
Cha
(297,323 posts)Let the girls eat Broccoli.. More Big Macs for you! Oh, that's right.. McDonald's is trying to clean up their image.. Thanks Michelle!
McDonalds cutting menu items, examining ingredients
McDonald's is trying to improve the image of its food, especially as people examine labels for artificial ingredients they're not familiar with, and therefore find unappealing.

Happy Birthday to the First Lady!
Cha
(297,323 posts)invitation, but then it flew out of my mind.
Glad you got to see this.. we're so lucky to have Michelle Obama as our First Lady I thought the least we could do is wish her a Happy Birthday!
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)She is genuine, honest, and very humble.
I don't think she gets the credit that she deserves.
But, she sure has raised the standards of expectations for all of the future First Ladies, in my opinion.
Cha
(297,323 posts)And, I will add.. a great sense of humor to all the attributes you've mentioned..
http://theybf.com/2012/04/29/first-lady-michelle-obama-laughs-it-up-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner-president-oba
Mahalo Major.. for getting it!
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)I think that's because of the high level of intelligence she has, another one of her best assets.
She speaks so eloquently it's hard to believe that she didn't run for political office herself!
Cha
(297,323 posts)"intelligence" being related to having a good sense of humor. She and President Obama are both gifted that way.
Humor helps around this place too..
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)People who've actually lived, faced struggles, whether illness or poverty, somehow are able to look at life differently than most. It's why Donald Trump can't take a fucking joke.
Same with Bush.
Obamas, though? They've had enough bullshit in their lives to know when it's best to just laugh.
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)She has it together, for sure.
And it is all marvelous.
She's married, though, so I won't say anything about her fabulous good looks or her hot bod.
Not that I have noticed anything like that.
Nevertheless, you make a good point.
The way she described her upbringing had a lot to do with her view of life and how she struggled to become a success.
She's at the top of her game now, and there is no one else like her on the planet, as far as I am concerned.
Her mother must be extremely proud of her.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)But that is all part of the circle of life.
Something that the Obamas understand well.
I think that President Obama's mother knew he was going to win the 2008 election before she passed away.

Cha
(297,323 posts)Thank you! As Major said in the thread .. she has set the bar really high for First Ladies.
Lucky us and the 8 years we will have!
PS.. thanks for being #30.. I knew DU could come up with 30 recs for the First Lady.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)She's gorgeous, and I'm so proud to have her as our First Lady. Her husband is pretty awesome, too.
I wish we could have them in the WH forever, but I'm certain they don't feel the same, considering what a bunch of ingrates this country's proven to be toward them.
It's pretty alarming when it's difficult to get 30 posts on a thread at DU that wishes our First Lady or our President happy birthday - or say anything positive about them. Yet threads that excoriate them, criticize them, spread false rumors about them even for things they've never done, are flooded with negative responses akin to posts Teabaggers would happily write. It's shameful.
