He gives me the impression of being a guy with a sense of humor. One that you are clearly lacking.

Anyways... back to the main issue.

Does anyone know what M.O is trying to do other than the whole "healthy" crap?

Just wondering...

You mean by appearing on Sesame Street ? I can't question her motives .She by all appearances is a good mother and family woman.

MO is not the first First Lady to appear on Sesame Street. I got to go with Tom on this. She seems like she's being earnest and has all the right motives on this one. I got no issues with that. We are dealing with an obesity crisis in the USA, and she's taking the bull by the horns to try and teach kids a better way. (And I speak as an obesity sufferer myself... though I tend to use the term "fat". I dislike PC terms being applied to ME as much as to others.)

No no no... Other than Sesame street and her little organic garden and organic foods in the Whitehouse. I understand the whole healthy thing but well is there anything else?

--- Does she have any "plans" about other things? --- I know she supports her husband's stimulus bill and the whole equal pay "thing".

or how they wasted cost $328835 on the NY fly over. That was the dumbest most insensitive stunt ever.

But what a great photo-op!!

But with some photo shop they could've visited
NYC during the St . Patty's day parade

Fly it under the Brooklyn Bridge

Flyover the new Yankee Stadium

Or buzz King Kong

That's very interesting.I never knew that! I love to hear about the hidden women behind the man. Thank-you I will have to investigate her further.I guess that old saying has some credence ,a man is as good as the woman behind him:)

Kudos, Tom!

The photo shop of the photo op was really cool!

Sarah ,check this article out

Michelle Obama, Mom-in-Chief

I am not sure she won't use her position to propel her into a political career of her own ala Evita Clintoon... but that is for future considerations.

For now (the fashion thing aside )she appears to want to concentrate on supporting family friendly polices.

Speaking of mom-in-chief...

The Nation's Embracing, and Embraceable, Arms

By Sally Quinn
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 10, 2009

"May I change the subject," said a prominent Washington theologian at a recent dinner. The conversation had been high-minded -- religion, philosophy, the nature of evil. "I'd like to talk about Michelle Obama's arms," he said.

He is a big fan of those arms. We then began a discussion about the significance of the first lady's arms. Actually, it turned out to be equally serious. Michelle Obama's arms, we determined, were transformational. Her arms are representative of a new kind of woman: young, strong, vigorous, intelligent, accomplished, sexual, powerful, embracing and, most of all, loving.

Today is Mother's Day. Today we should celebrate Michelle Obama's arms as the arms of a mother.

This is a woman who has the courage to say "I am mom in chief" and make her children and her family -- unapologetically -- her No. 1 priority. She is able to do this because she is so intelligent and accomplished that she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. She is healthy enough to be able to say, this is who I am, these are my values and my priorities.

She has come under attack for exposing her arms. They are toned and muscular, burnished and beautiful. That has to be threatening to some. For some men, often, a strong woman makes them feel diminished. For some feminists, the idea of an educated woman not taking on a full-time serious job is a frightening throwback...

LOL, they're nice arms but they certainly aren't the nicest arms I've seen on a woman, so what the heck is this obsession with her arms?

Karmababy · May 17, 2009, 09:04 PM

Let's not forget that MO was ashamed of her country until her husband was a candidate for President.

YouTube - Michelle Obama: "Proud of Her Country" Speech

The press is doing a great job of softening her character, but during the campaign it was easy to hear the anger in her.

Who cares? I mean really... what is WRONG with US as a nation that this kind of thing makes the news? We really should be embarrassed but alas we are too far gone...

What's more embarrassing is this is what our media has become, infatuated with a politician and her wife's arms.

Your media is simply reporting what sells best, and is a reflection on the dumbed down materialistic society. Its only marginally better down here.

letmetellu · May 19, 2009, 06:26 PM

I know... she is now the Secretary of State.
