Michelle Obama

[mth44sc]

Damn that woman impresses me.

On Larry King she was a tad taken aback by the thought that Condi Rice would be McCain's VP choice. Hell - I say YES

It lets us run full steam ahead against W and 8 years of total failure - and Condi is a partner in the worst administration EVER.

[polpilot]

1. Best First Lady Ever!!

Yes she will be.

[mtnsnake]

6. Wow. Already she's even better than Jackie Kennedy, eh

Quite a woman that Michelle must be. Yikes

[polpilot]

12. Michelle v. Jackie...not close

No it's not!

[goldcanyonaz]

10. Hillary Clinton was the best first lady ever!

[polpilot]

15. Maybe most 'long suffering' first lady ever.

[goldcanyonaz]

16. Nope, the best first lady ever. She's my hero!

[polpilot]

19. O.K.

[Faygo Kid]

20. Well, there was this woman named Eleanor Roosevelt . . .

. . .Pretty impressive woman in her own right. And an icon to the world.

[tammywammy]

22. Agreed, Eleanor Roosevelt is in a league of her own.

;)

[ellisonz]

28. I'm going to have to second that remark.

:thumbsup:

[goldcanyonaz]

23. I should hae qualified my response by saying "in my lifetime"

[Carolina]

33. thank you

The incomparable Eleanor, few can light a candle to her.

Still, my favorite for grace, dignity and, yes, style will always be Jackie Kennedy.

[tishaLA]

36. :nods:

I love Michelle, but Eleanor is in a league of her own.

[stevenleser]

40. Eleanor...

one of if not the coolest and most brilliant people who ever lived.

[goclark]

50. My choice too

[gateley]

58. Eleanor was long suffering, too. What an amazing person she was. nt

[godai]

2. One comment afterwards was that she should debate Bill Clinton

In the panel discussion, the McCain supporter commented that he'd like to se her debate Bill Clinton. I like that idea! Seems like she could more than hold her own.

All of the panelists were very complimentary about Michelle Obama.

[Bicoastal]

3. I hope nobody's serious about that--it would just be weird.

Michelle isn't running for any political office, while Bill is a two-term president. It wouldn't be a fair fight by any means.

[godai]

7. It's just a compliment to her.

Informally raising her to the level of a former President.

[babylonsister]

5. Nah. Mrs. Obama and President Clinton aren't running. Let's keep

the debates where they should be.

[BeyondGeography]

4. One thing I noticed is she expects to win this thing

which I liked.

[MS Liberal]

8. I do not like her at all.

She seems fake to me.

24. And maybe when you've been around here a bit you will know

that it's not allowed to attack people for having low post counts.

[mth44sc]

32. Oh I know

doesn't make that post any less ill informed

Gotta call 'em like ya see 'em...

[hertopos]

35. I agree. She makes Hillary so soft and emotional...

She is the lady Macbeth.
She is the most political wife ever.

She is smarter than Hillary since she know she cannot be a candidate in U.S. since this is such a sexist country.

It is sad women are so divided.
If someone like her support Hillary instead of this inept guy called Obama,


Oh, well, this is U.S. I should have known better.

Hertopos

[undeterred]

53. I met her in front of a grocery store collecting signatures

for her husbands petition for Congress in the rain in the fall of 1999. Not fake at all, totally down to earth. Never would have guessed I was having a brush with fame.

[RedEarth]

9. Very impressive.... really like her.... also like Elizabeth Edwards

both extremely impressive women.

[godai]

13. Maybe she'll get Barack's Senatorial seat...

When Obama is elected President!

[Faygo Kid]

17. No, she has 9 and 6 year olds. And work to do as First Lady.

As she acknowledged, being First Lady offers a tremendous platform. As I am sure the Hillary supporters here will agree.

I think Michelle is the best.

[godai]

47. Oh yeah...kinda forgot about that n/t

[Cha]

31. I bet she doesn't want it...she'll have so

much work to do with her kids and her duties as First Lady. :)

[mth44sc]

14. Agreed! n/t

[Proud2BAmurkin]

18. Not even close. One is genuinely nice lady and one is robotic and obnoxious.

[tammywammy]

21. You shouldn't call

Hillary names. "robotic and obnoxious"

[Faygo Kid]

26. You grow increasingly ugly to post stuff like this, Proud2BAmurkin.

Unnecessary, and you start to define yourself only by your predictable hatred. Lay off Michelle, or at least show some class in your criticisms.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

27. "if you can't run your own house you can't run the white house"

That wasn't me who said it

[tammywammy]

29. Nevermind, it's not worth it

"Our view was that, if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. So, so we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first, so while he's traveling around, I do day trips. That means I get up in the morning, I get the girls ready, I get them off, I go and do trips, I'm home before bedtime."

38. dupe

[tammywammy]

39. I don't need video of something I've already seen

[stevenleser]

42. Never ignored anyone on DU before...

Bye

[Faygo Kid]

30. You've said plenty already. Plenty.

I'll tell you what, I won't criticize Bill (haven't yet; worked for him twice), and why don't you lay off Michelle Obama. You really think you will gain support by tearing her down?

If so, enjoy. You think that's effective, go for it.

[sniffa]

25. But have you seen her dance?

I'll reserve comment.

[hisownpetard]

37. Did you hear Larry King say, "So how do you feel about being the first black and

the first female First Lady?"

That was pretty dumb, even for Larry King!

[mtnsnake]

41. LOL, did he really say that?

"the first female First Lady"?

That's priceless if he did.

[godai]

45. Yes, He's so senile that he just blurts meaningless stuff out n/t

[hisownpetard]

54. Yup. Good ol' Lar...

[cottonseed]

48. A saying like that grew from a Super Bowl years ago.

It ended up being false, but has been used as an example of reporter stupidity ever since:

http://www.snopes.com/sports/football/williams.asp

"Before Super Bowl XXII in 1988, a reporter asked Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, "How long have you been a black quarterback?""

[mzmolly]

51. First "female" first lady?

Goodness, that is "dumb". ;)

[hisownpetard]

Yeah. He also asked her how she likes living in Washington.

She said, "I don't live in Washington. I live in Chicago."

You go, Larry!

[mzmolly]

43. My husband said that she is a "dynamic" speaker? He said she may even be better than Barack?

;) That said, I missed the interview. When did it air?

[tammywammy]

44. It was on Larry King Live tonight

He repeats after Anderson Cooper. ;)

[mzmolly]

46. Cool, thanks Tammy.

I'll TIVO that sucka! ;)

[tammywammy]

49. Anderson's about to talk about Michelle

It just went to commercial, the next segment is on Michelle Obama.

[mzmolly]

52. And, I'm off!

:hi:

[goclark]

55. I totally agree with your husband

I heard her speak at UCLA and she holds the crowd in the palm of her hands.

I also saw her on video at an Obama House Party two weeks ago. She can touch your heart. The age group at the party was about 25 -65 and she had grown men wiping tears from their eyes when she talked about what kind of world this could be.

Awesome and so very smart. She is comfortable in her own skin, confident and impressive.

She is her own person,just magnificent!

[madrchsod]

56. she is

she should help him !

[gateley]

57. She is so very impressive. I get the feeling she is talking from her heart - and

her passion shows. I like her a LOT!

[Hieronymus]

59. Bring on Condi .. the Obama people would make mince meat of her.
