Other than her husband. And honestly - she's been so attacked by hateful people - that I don't think ANY of us deserve her. She's a fine human being, a kind woman, a warm woman, and very authentic - but in the modern political age those aren't things people respect. Hell - she's been given zero respect by half of this country.

....As an example of Republican obstruction, Mrs. Obama said: “In fact, it’s gotten so bad, they’re even trying to block the work that I do on childhood obesity and that’s really saying something. I mean, for most folks in this country, making sure our kids get decent nutrition shouldn’t be that controversial.”.....

Why do I know more about this FLOTUS's motivations than the one who 's been in the public eye for more than two decades. Could it be that she is more open, honest, and sincere?

Michelle,why won't you run for President? Please.

She does have a higher approval ratings than President Obama, no disrespect intended, and she is most definately an asset to any campaign, I believe...

She's a really good person and a liberal but I get the impression the whole political thing turns her off.

children's lunch program, while it's just the GOP who is against it. Also if she would've been stomping for candidates instead of just stumping, the GOP would be even quicker to label her as some angry black woman and Rush would name her after the A's mascot instead of just "Moochelle".
