1. Uh, huh, I have a remark. Everyone please note:

For someone who wanted the First Lady to be Bill Clinton, I must say Michelle Obama is a wonderful First Lady. She rarely fails to make me very proud and is rich with elan vital. Additional note: This does not apply to everything Obama, as he still is not coming along as well as I hoped he would. I still have high hopes, however, and, no, I will not stay home nor vote for a repub.

2. I think Michelle Obama is awesome.

She is such a great role model and has such a positive message for kids. I know my kids have taken an interest in her healthy eating campaign.
