[Tarheel_Dem]

34. Does she ever take a bad picture??

Beautiful-- inside and out

[Tarheel_Dem]

36. Those are fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I remember one photo of FLOTUS, that was taken in....

profile silhouette, her hair was in an updo (which she rarely does), and it was taken in black & white. It was the most gorgeous pic I had ever seen of her. She's a brilliant lady with style & brains. I'm gonna miss her so much.

53. If this is the one you're referring to ...

It's actually in color.
It's by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue, and was in the National Portrait Galleryd

But there are B/W ones of it, also:

56. That one is beautiful, but it's not the one I'm thinking of. She was seated on some steps. I wish

I could find it. Thanks for posting this one though, I love it.

[lillypaddle]

50. Wow

Thanks for posting!

[gademocrat7]

3. Beautiful and elegant.

[3catwoman3]

4. Time for a trip to the news stand.

Do news stands still exist?

Our First Lady is completely awesome. That word gets way overused, but, on occasion, it is richly deserved. Michelle Obama definitely deserves the adjective.

Great dress, too.

[sunnystarr]

5. ^^^ YESSS ^^^ nt

[chillfactor]

6. gorgeous picture...

what a beautiful first lady we have had....I will miss her as well as the president.

[lovemydog]

7. Class, style

brilliance & public service.

That's a winning combination!

[closeupready]

8. Dressed so modestly as she is here,

she looks so DC.

I love her, in fact. K&R

[Orrex]

9. Classiness personified.

With all due respect to our next president, Ms. Obama is far and away the most impressive FLOTUS of my lifetime.

[Eleanors38]

19. Agreed. Warmer, more accessible than Jackie.

[Moonwalk]

45. I'm sure Madam President (to be!) would agree that Michelle has been the most impressive FLOTUS....

...in living memory (though I suppose Eleanor Roosevelt might be in someone's current living memory as matching her). While I'm absolutely sure Hillary was 100% behind Bill in wanting him to be president, I don't think it was ever her dream to be FLOTUS. FLOTUS takes a really unique skill set that's almost entirely public relations, and I think Hillary would be the first to admit she didn't excel in those. I mean, I don't know if Michelle's dreams included being FLOTUS either, but she took to it like a duck to water, and I'm pretty sure Hillary would be the first to admit that she never really took to the job nor felt natural in it.

But I bet Bill will be noted as the best First Gentleman Not that this is hard given the lack of competition

[NBachers]

10. I can't help it - she just makes my blood race.

[awoke_in_2003]

23. I know what you mean...

it is the one thing I don't like about PBO- he met her first

[sheshe2]

27. Ha...

That's how I feel about Obama~

[NBachers]

[sheshe2]

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. +1

[R B Garr]

15. Just an absolute world-class megastar!

I so hope that rumor about a possible Senate run for her is true. She is such a powerful force in every single way.

[mcar]

17. Wow!

That dress is amazing on her. What an elegant, brilliant, wonderful FLOTUS she has been.

[Marie Marie]

18. Please stop posting these awesome pictures of FLOTUS sheshe...

I am running out of ways to express my admiration for the beauty, elegance, style and grace of this woman. And, it reminds me of how much I will miss her presence in the White House.
