Michelle Obama: How do you see her?
She's getting more press coverage these days than Britney Spears somehow. Check out this Venn Diagram thingy on how Conservatives, Barack, and Michelle herself see when they look at Michelle Obama.

7. I see her as a fellow human, and a fellow woman.
I haven't formed any opinion of her one way or the other. I'm not a fan of her husband, and if I vote for him in November it will be resentfully, with clothespin firmly attached.

I don't like her husband's too republican-like policies. I don't judge her one way or the other because of that.

Eventually, should she become first lady, I'll be forced to form an opinion about her.

11. I'm sorry that your candidate did not receive enough votes...
...popular, delegate, superdelegate, or otherwise to legitimately win the nomination.

I am sorry that you are displeased with the legitimate democratic candidate.

We don't care if you form an opinion, ever, about anything.

We do expect that you'll vote for Obama in November.

Unless you support war, abortion, you know, McCain and Bush things.

13. Whoever "we" is, lol.
The cares and expectations of your unidentified "we" are not what will drive any decisions I make, now or in November.

My opinions about the GE, and the candidate, are already formed. They have been for a year. My decision about how to act on those opinions is not.

The point of my post is to answer the OP: what do I think of Michelle Obama? It asks for an opinion. I answered. It has nothing to do with the primaries.

My opinion of her husband has nothing to do with the primaries, or the GE. It has everything to do with his too-republican stance on issues.

Issues, not personalities or partisan concerns, are my top priority. They drive my vote, and they determine whether or not my vote is enthusiastic, or resentful; whether it is earned, or not. It's not personal.

10. She's an American woman
Intelligent, ridiculously busy, and responsible for every achievement she's ever had. I look at the big bright smiles on the faces of her two daughters and I instantly know she's a good mom too.

15. She lives a very different life then I do.
I admire her accomplishments. There have been things that have rubbed me the wrong way, but nothing that bad. She is a strong and accomplished professional woman.

19. Ahhh. A teenager. That explains it. :)
Hope all is okay and that you survive those years with your sanity intact. Mine are in their 20s and sometimes I doubt MY sanity survived the ordeal. Haven't started babbling in a corner yet. At least I don't think so...

18. I really dig Michelle
I love every last thing she says that is 'controversial'. She really impresses me, I'd pick her as a lawyer any day of any week.
I like her style and I've done the hand bump for ages. It is sanitary and fun!
To me, the 'proud of my country' line was wonderful. Poetry. That sentance was profound and in no way was it negative. She was in awe of democracy in action, and that gave me a charge. So great to see an unfiltered and un-spun person on the political stage. I hope they let her be herself at all times.
