(27,818 posts)Michelle Obama is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly graceful, exceptionally classy, eloquent, the perfect role model for young women everywhere ... yadda, yadda.
Okay. So she's also admired the world over, respected nationally as well as internationally, is often praised for her insight, her savvy, and her ability to unite people for a common purpose.
She has dazzled the world with her political acumen, her incredible ability to BE her own woman while standing next to the most powerful man on the planet, and her uncanny knack for facing her adversaries head-on without flinching, without losing her cool, without breaking a sweat.
So yeah, yeah, she has demonstrated her unwavering support for her husband, her country, and her fellow citizens, has never backed down, and has never abandoned her principles.
She has promoted healthy living, healthy eating, and the importance of education, setting high goals, and working towards those goals.
And yeah, yeah - she's also down-to-earth, has a great sense of humour, and can sing karaoke in a car with the best of 'em.
But other than that, what does she really have going for herself?

Total ROTFL and sarcasm. And I think it may be been Rush who started the rumor.
