4. Thanks!!

I missed it on the Teevee. I'm sure I'll get to see it, but it's nice to see it without snarky commentary which gets so tiresome. Pundits are way overrated.

11. she's simply lovely

so elegant yet down to earth

[Worried senior]

12. She beats Ann Romney

hands down. I am so proud that she is our 1st Lady.

[Skittles]

14. she beats Ms. Romney by a long shot

Ms. Romney's beauty is marred by her belief she can identify with the economically disadvantaged - it is insulting and she needs to stop. Can you honestly see her shopping at Target? I don't hate Ms. Romney for her wealth, but I very much dislike her for her condescension.

13. so beautiful and happy

genuine!

15. Michelle Rocks!

Years ago I saw a picture of her with a peace symbol necklace. Awesome! Knew right then I was behind her 100%. I love this woman.
