I think she has handled the transition from a private citizen to First Lady with much grace.

There was so much negativity about her during the campaign. She is proving the naysayers wrong.

Here’s an analysis of the First Lady’s hair that ties in nicely:

I think after 100 days I love the Obamas even more because now I can see them on television more often. Now I know more about Michelle and her daughters. I think the President is doing a great job and I love seeing ad hearing about Michelle. My opinions of them have gotten better and I hope to have a family like theirs some day!

Eileen sounds like a Vampire. A Vampire to me is someone with bad, negative, energy that can suck the positivity out of all those around them. Someone like that should be left to themselves to wallow in their own misery.

Our First Lady is eloquent , intelligent and beautiful. Nice to see someone who looks like me in the White House – I can definitely see her in some government position after her husband’s 8 yrs in office .
Eileen – get a life
Admirer – so sorry to hear you being put out of the marital home – but you do know that it is the man that determines the sex of the child?? So it was HE ( carrier of xy chromosomes) that could not produce the males not you!!!

It sucks that people feel so compelled to judge her wardrobe or looks, but in this society, I get it. That’s just the way it is. Personally, she could wear a potato sack and still be stunning to me

I read a quote somewhere on the ‘net about how women from developing countries view Michelle. Basically she’s a darker skinned woman who has two girls that has broken barriers.
That speaks to me personally. Being the daughter of a woman who was thrown out of her marital home because she couldn’t have any male children.

She gets an A+ from me for her first 100 days.

Funny, I’m not really dark skinned, but I am black and I’m visiting in India at the moment. I get people staring at me, I mean staring right at me, all the time. It was really discomfitiing in the beginning, it made me hate to walk outside. But one day I was walking up the street and people were staring, staring, staring and in that moment, I asked myself, what would Michelle do?

I knew in my heart she would never look down if people were staring at her, she wouldn’t feel like she was… less. I put a smile on my face, held my head up, and walked up that street like it belonged to me.

It might sound silly to some people, but just being able to look up to a beautiful, confident black woman has been so precious to me, and I can say without a doubt that she’s given me the strength to survive the rude stares.

Love her!

First Lady Obama is making a huge impression not just at home in the US but on the world. Not only that but she is following her beliefs and ideals by being an example for work in community service.

I would say we have seen true excellence and grace from her I’m this first 100 and expect it to not only continue but also escalate through more participation on the local front.

Time to raise the bar for whom?
