What Michelle Would Bring to the White House..."second coming of Jackie O.! "
Edited on Sat Sep-27-08 04:34 PM by DogPoundPup
Michelle Obama is tall, smart, funny, relaxed and basically so glowy and poised — if she's attractive in pictures, she's flat-out gorgeous in person — that it almost seems as if she already is the First Lady.

Or at least this is the conclusion I came to after sitting down with her at Denver's Westin Tabor Center during the Democratic National Convention. I'd been tagging after her for a couple of days, from one rapturous audience to another, including the crowd at a community-service event for soldiers, at which an Iraq-war veteran introduced her by announcing, "Ma'am, I know you weren't in the military, but I'd follow you anywhere." If all that hadn't quite convinced me (it was the Democratic Convention, after all), I'd guess it took roughly the first 30 seconds of our interview for me to fall for her. It happened when I asked whether she gets bored giving the same speech over and over, and she cheerfully replied, "Yeah, absolutely."

1. I want to see her in pillbox hats, and when she's hatless, a bouffant coiffure.
Gah-roovy!

3. I can't tell you how many women I know have noticed the
Jackie O similarities(I haven't heard it from any men yet). Even my 11 year old niece thinks she's "the most beautiful president's wife ever"

8. She is a beautiful, strong, magnetic woman.
And she dresses impeccably. I can't wait to have her as the First Lady. :)

9. Bullshit - she would be the first coming of Michelle Obama.
She's so wonderful in her own right that she deserves MUCH better than to be 2nd to Jackie (not taking anything away from Jackie O of course).

I'm just sayin.

10. That's why I call her Michelle O.....cause that is who she is.

Remember that Jackie O only became such after leaving the WH.

Michelle O is certainly in a class by herself. But I think that the connection to Jackie doesn't hurt one bit on the road to the WH! a Redux Technicolor Camelot for many voters ain't exactly a bad thing to think about, especially for older Catholic voters in swing states. Just sayin'.
