Wow-zers...just frickin' Wow!!!

[Hepburn]

:patriot:

[Hepburn]

1. More...

Makes one really proud!! :patriot:

[Submariner]

10. Just another commie, marxist, Kenyan socialist who can't bowl

[Hepburn]

12. LOL...

...but I bet she looks grand in bowling shoes! :hi:

[madokie]

19. Don't you know it

[WeDidIt]

2. It's a return to Camelot

Seriously.

[Hepburn]

4. Oh, yeah.......

[madokie]

21. In that picture Jackie looks like a boy

while JFK looks of a little stage fright

I'll take the Obama's any day

[rurallib]

13. Major difference from my perspective

In great part to do the role of women in society at that time versus this time.
I always saw Jackie as an extension, almost a possession of JFK. Like I said, it was the times and that was most frequently a woman's role.
Michelle is a strong person on her own.

[jules1962]

26. Jackie came into her own after losing JFK.

She raised two wonderful children in the process. Considering the priviledge,wealth,and fame these kids had, that is exceptional. Both Jackie and Michelle are to be looked at as strong,poised,admirable women.

[RainDog]

3. Michelle Obama is really stunningly beautiful

it's always a pleasure to see her.

[Hepburn]

5. She simply is regal...

...and that smile! :hi:

[malaise]

6. Very nice

I loved the dress

[Hepburn]

9. It is like the color red was made for her...

...:hi:

[blueamy66]

7. What a handsome couple

nt

[brewens]

8. I read something about a ridiculous sex scandal. The President

supposedly hooking up with some babe at a hotel. Yeah right! No one would cheat on that gorgeous lady! About every other President in my lifetime, I could see that, but not this one.

[DrDan]

17. Jesse James might differ with you

[Blue-Jay]

44. What's he president of?

[DrDan]

45. tattoos

[Hepburn]

11. This one, IMO, is just incredible...

Breath-takingly beautiful...and on top of that, intelligent, well educated, involved and with a personality that is hard to beat.

[Dr Morbius]

14. Damn.

Don't know that I'd call it "Camelot." This is a different era.

[jillan]

15. Oh my - I have never seen that one before. She's magnificent!

[blondeatlast]

18. I love that gown--but I'd shame it. She just, well, you said it perfectly... WOW. nt

[Bigmack]

52. Good grief!...

The First Lady is HOT!

Jesus... can I say that? Will the Secret Service be by to talk to me?

[tango-tee]

56. This has always been my favorite.

Absolutely stunning!

[madokie]

16. Best looking White House couple yet

O man looks great but Michelle is gorgeous, My o My. I'm so happy we finally have a good man as our President with an equally good woman as our first lady.
Damned if he ain't proud of her. America you done good is all I know for sure this morning.

[Hepburn]

20. Like I said...

...makes me proud to see them as he representatives of the USA! :patriot:

[madokie]

30. Oh yeah

This is the soul and the face we are showing to the world. How much better could it get, none I suspect.

[grantcart]

54. Yep and after the Kennedy's no one else comes close

The most handsome and intelligent family to ever reside in the WH and their name is Obama, I still can't get over it.

[saracat]

22. This is the way Michelle should always dress! She is stunning in sleek line and vibrant colors. Can

the belts and the florals and the frumpy chanel..What a wonderful structered dress! Good call. I also think she looks great in fushia!

[PopSixSquish]

42. I Agree With You About the Belts - That Makes Me Nuts

I do like some of florals I've seen her in though. But she looks the best in bright colors such as red, fushia, orange, yellow and gold...

[tblue37]

55. I hate her too tight cardigans--especially when she belts them.

When she dresses well, she looks absolutely stunning, but some of her signature styles don't look good at all (mainly the over the top belts--especially that silly black belt with the studs-the too tight knit cardigans, and the pink and blue argyle cardigans with the uneven hemline).

The red dress in that pic (and the blue gown) are great. I loved the sleveless black sheath she wore in her official WH portrait, as well as the sleveless purple dress she wore at his first SoTU address. Sometimes she gets it rbeathtakingly right--and sometimes not so much.

[jillan]

23. It's her eyes. Not only are they big & beautiful - they sparkle with feeling.

I'm an eye person because you can tell so much about a person by the warmth in their eyes.

Possibly the best looking first family ever!

[Union Yes]

24. Good lookin' couple!

:patriot:

edit recced

[ProdigalJunkMail]

25. i am sorry...

but i will never understand the fascination that people have with the appearance of their leaders...i just don't get it. what if they were butt-ugly? would you love them any less?

sP

[RainDog]

27. it's propaganda for the people magazine crowd

but that doesn't negate the fact that they are a handsome couple.

people make voting decisions for weird reasons sometimes.

(fwiw, regal isn't a positive to me since it implies anti-democratic, but again, it's for the people magazine crowd.)

[ProdigalJunkMail]

28. people basing their voting preference on a 'look'

should be banned from voting...yes...banned. i personally don't really care for their appearance...but i would never base a vote on someone's looks. i would almost prefer we never even saw them (not just them...any of our leaders) and just based our voting decisions on policy...and i realize also that is not at all realistic...just a pipe dream of mine.

sP

[Hepburn]

34. And we start a voting test to ban people from voting for what you consider dumb reasons?

What's next? A poll tax? :eyes:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

36. ah nice hyperbole...

if you think appearance is a good reason to vote for someone...do us all a favor and stay away from the polls. yes, voting for someone on appearances IS a dumb reason. dumb as shit. and dangerous as well...

sP

[Lorien]

48. A wealthy handsome couple who have made some very ugly choices for the rest of us

sorry, but I'm not going to join the breathless fawning fans in a lovefest over cloth and earrings.

[girl gone mad]

57. Great looking people, very ugly policies..

I would prefer the situation were reversed.

[LiberalLoner]

29. I just sent her a postcard for Mother's Day thanks to Credo :) n/t

[Hepburn]

31. That is wonderful...

...she really is a great mom.

:hi:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

32. do you know her personally?

do you spend time with the family?

sP

[Hepburn]

33. Do you care?

:eyes:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

35. i do...because i would be willing to bet you're making

statements based on a media facade. you really don't know if she is a good mom. you are basing your opinions on information that someone is feeding you...and that is all. oh, well, it would also appear that you are basing your opinion of her (them) on appearance... so i do care...because to me, people like you are dangerous.

sP

[brucefan]

38. Who pissed in your Cheerio's?

[ProdigalJunkMail]

39. people who believe it is ok to form opinions of people

on appearances...they are dangerous...and simple (and i mean that in the 'lacking in intelligence' sense of simple). those people piss in my cheerios every day...because you cannot get away from them. they are everywhere...and their very presence is a symptom of the disease that infests our world...

sP

[Hepburn]

43. +1

[ProdigalJunkMail]

49. I am sorry you don't like being called on

your shallow method of forming opinions of people...

sP

[TwilightGardener]

37. She looks fantastic. That dress is incredibly flattering.

[elfin]

40. She is so gorgeous BUT sometimes...

I just want to unleash a mother-scream at her "Stand up straight!" "Don't slouch!"

Maybe she has a back problem I don't know about, but sometimes her posture nearly ruins her looks. Then occasionally choosing a wide belt that unnecessarily accentuates the problem, making her abdomen look almost pregnant drives me crazy.

She is a stunner but please please "Stand up straight!"

[ProdigalJunkMail]

41. nevermind...

[Inuca]

46. It may have to do with her height

I am also very tall, and at times (often?) instinctively slouch to "hide my height" and get closer to the level of the shorter people I am with. And yes, I have been criticized for it, mother included :-)

[ProdigalJunkMail]

58. i was going to say something similar in the 'nevermind'

post above...tall people have challenges in life too...

sP

[monmouth]

47. One of the many things I admire about MIchelle is whether she is in

a gown by a famous designer or in her capris and sneakers working in her garden, she is the same person. Nothing supercilious or phoney about her. What you see is what you get. I guess I'm saying she takes her role in stride and does not take herself seriously to the point of aloofness. She is a First Lady who will not be forgotten for the ages.

[HopeHoops]

50. DAMN she's cute!

[Quantess]

51. Good looking First Couple.

[saltpoint]

53. I'll tell ya what. Those two give off a strong vibe, and it's of the real

good sort.

They're lookin' mighty good.
