Is anyone else really excited about Michelle Obama being our First Lady?

[BattyDem]

I love her! She's intelligent, she's down to earth, she's warm ... and no one would DARE to call her Pickles! :bounce:

[Erin Elizabeth]

1. REALLY excited.

I'm just superficial enough to enjoy visualizing them dressed in formal wear for state dinners. How AWESOME they're going to look. How gracious they are.

Ahhh. And I think she'll do a fantastic job as First Lady. I really really like her. She's classy.

[BattyDem]

7. I can't wait to see what she'll wear to the Inaugural ball!

I'm sure it will be gorgeous ... but she'd even look great in a Hefty bag!

[MrMickeysMom]

16. I'm wondering what the inauguration will allow?

Can we all come?

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Yes... I love that amazing woman! Yay, Michelle!

[HopeFor2006]

3. She is a very classy woman...

I think she'll make a terrific first lady!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. OH MY GOD YES! To have a brilliant first lady and not just a.. well, a deadish Stepford Wife nt

[ibegurpard]

5. Yes

Smart, attractive, down to earth, with tons of charisma.

[RCinBrooklyn]

6. Yes, as long as she doesn't wear last night's dress ever again.

[defendandprotect]

10. That was bad -- and surprising because she always looks great/

quiet style ---

[Jed Dilligan]

37. I hope Barack ripped that thing to shreds as soon as they got home!

[HowHasItComeToThis]

8. REAL PEOPLE

ASK DAN DRINKER, HE IS REAL.

[firedupdem]

9. Yes I am! I really like her! n/t

[mecherosegarden]

11. Yes, I am very proud!

She appears to be so sweet. They way that she connected to those that had the opportunity to personality meet her is just amazing!

And they seems to be so much in love. A beautiful family.

[rasputin1952]

12. She will be an excellent First Lady...

Some of the reasons:

1. She's intelligent.

2. She has Dignity.

3. She has class.

4. She's had a paying job.

5. She does not have an apparent fondness for xanax.

I could probably add another 100 reasons, but I'll just leave this for others to add their thoughts...:D

[Metric System]

13. I'm sure she'll put on lovely teas.

[MrMickeysMom]

14. Yeah, I actually am very excited about that, too.

I'm not sure why, but my best friend (can't figure this one out) doesn't like her, and can't say what it is about her to make her feel this way. She denies all of the possible physical reasons I threw at her (too tall? too much structure in her face or eyebrows? what is it?)

I can't imagine a better first lady. What exciting wonderful girls she and he reared.

[kestrel91316]

15. A stylish, classy, successful professional who has also succeeded at the mommy track.

And who makes me feel very small and inconsequential, lol. 5 feet 11 inches tall????? I used to be 5'4" on a good day before gravity started to get the best of me, lol.

[libodem]

17. Yes

very much so. I was even looking foreword to Theresa Hines Kerry as opposed to Pickles. I think Michelle will be wonderful and much more accessible. There is something wrong with Laura, she's a psycho, cold fish.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

27. She has an excuse.

She's been married to the Chimp for thirty years. That could break a better woman than her pretty easily.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

18. Absolutely!

[Political Tiger]

19. Indeed!

[Undercurrent]

20. I am overjoyed!

Our First Lady to be is smart, well educated, caring, a loving mother, poised, funny, and beautiful. A wonderful role model, and an inspiration.

[avaistheone1]

21. Michelle seems like she will be a great first lady.

She would be fun to go to lunch with.

You can invite me to the White House any time.

[mahina]

22. ME! Gracious, articulate, clear heart, lovely, poised,

just the most lovely first lady ever.

And those little girls!

[JoFerret]

23. Yes

And I am not even sure I like everything she is and stands for and etc. But SO WHAT?
Yes - I am very happy to see MO in the WH. She will be herself in that role - with luck. And that will be MORE than enough.

Good luck MO. Our every good wish in that impossible role is with you.

[piedmont]

24. uh, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am just a wee bit excited about this lady.

[Blue Diadem]

25. I am! There is a natural elegance, not snobby. She's beautiful and intelligent.

A good Mom, wife and she'll be great at whatever her choices are to promote as First Lady.

[politicasista]

26. I am. She is going to be awesome!

:woohoo:

[Left Is Write]

28. Yes! A real woman, an accomplished and gracious woman, a woman of class.

She is the epitome of what a First Lady should be.

[Terran]

29. Yes--she is going to do an awesome job.

All Laura Bush did was sit around looking...strange...the whole time. Michelle is armed with a mind and she ain't afraid to USE it!

[Wiegee]

30. I'm excited about the whole family

One of my last thoughts as I finally went to sleep last night was imagining the girls wearing velvet dresses running down the hallway of the White House to the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. I don't know why. I don't even usually get too emotional about Christmas at all, really, and I know in a People magazine the Obamas said they don't do gifting on Christmas. But that image sent me off to slumber with a grin.

[gblady]

31. I'm also very excited....

about the whole family. There is such a sense of love
and cohesion with them all...it's going to be really fun to watch!
I have a feeling they will be as judicious in sharing the girls as they are now...
special occasions only...but little peeks now and then will be fun.

[jerry92]

32. I am!

She's adorable and highly intelligent.

[AtomicKitten]

33. She has the style and grace of Jackie O.

[JI7]

34. very excited

[Hamlette]

35. yeah, but she needs to give up the color matching with the girls

its sort of creepy, she and the girls are always in the same colors. Not sure what's up with that.

[Chovexani]

36. It'll just be nice to have a First Lady with a personality again

I am so over Pickles McStepford.

[Hellataz]

38. I am, I see her as very similar to Hilary

in the sense of how intelligent Hilary is and I'm sure help Bill make presidential decisions. Michelle is just as intelligent and I'm sure will be a great sounding board and advisor to Barack when he faces the growing issues of this country.

[Raine]

39. YES

I can't wait!!!! :bounce: :thumbsup:

[Athens30603]

40. I don't really care about the first family...

too much. I never pay much attention to the first family. But I'm TOTALLY STOKED to have Obama as our president!!!!!!:bounce: :toast:

[H2O Man]

41. Definitely.

I'll never forget the first time my family watched Michelle deliver a speech on tv. My younger son said, "This is the person who should be President." He campaigned for Barack Obama, and he still looks forward to listening to Michelle at every opportunity.

[NewJeffCT]

42. I think she'll be great, but I worry that she'll get demonized

like Hillary was demonized as first lady... while I'm sure she can handle it, it can't be easy.

[TransitJohn]

43. Not really.

It's a nice bonus to have a classy spouse there for the photo ops and such, but I'm much more interested in how the transition team shapes up...give us clues to policy priorities next January. But then, I don't go in for the celebrity aggrandizement.

[jcla]

44. My favorite Obama pin says "Michelle for First Lady!"

she got class! I agree about the dress.. shudder... The "First Mother-in-Law" looked wonderful! So did both Mrs. Biden (VP mother and wife).
She will be a breath of fresh air after 8 years.
