Our First Lady is a beautiful woman. Just damn...















FYI - Derrick Brooks, former TB Buc was on one of the sports talk radios shows the other day. The hosts asked him about this NFL event and meeting her. These three grown men went all 14 year old school girl talking about Justin Bieber about "Miss Michelle" for ten minutes. It was too funny...

1. I'm gushing and grinning like an idiot.

[cilla4progress]

4. I'm worried

about the Bruni book; her report that Michelle stated she "can't stand" being 1st Lady! Will NOT play well. Why would Carla Bruni disclose this???!!!

[lamp_shade]

8. I think you're in the wrong thread.

[cilla4progress]

10. Thanks...

is there a thread on this? Didn't see one...

[lamp_shade]

12. Yes... a couple. Here's the most recent > >

13. Carla didn't disclose anything. The book is a slam against Carla

so doubtful she collaborated with it.

And, the "quote" wasn't about how she can't stand being first lady. Get your alleged mis-quotes correct!

[Scout]

14. Michelle didn't say it, and neither did Carla Bruni n/t

[WhiteTara]

29. yeah, she looks miserable

in every single photo. Those tears certainly take away from any smile she might crack!
:rofl: :sarcasm: for those who need it.

[disndat]

31. Au contraire!

Even if she said it, she is looking radiant and very happy lately. Things must be going well for her and family.

[TwilightGardener]

2. I love the football-playing Michelle. She's so down-to-earth and

throws her heart into whatever she's doing--wonderful lady.

[Warpy]

23. She manages to look regal even in sweaty athletic gear

that most of us would look like the wrath of god in.

We haven't had as stylish a First Lady since Jackie Kennedy.

[lillypaddle]

3. Yep, she is gorgeous

and seems so real & down to earth. Love her.

[Clio the Leo]

5. I love those pics/video of her playing flag football...

.... that's MY FIRST LADY!!!!

[AtomicKitten]

6. Thanks for posting this brief respite from the caterwauling. nt

[MindandSoul]

19. Yep! Heartwarming. . .we need more of those real smile opportunities!

[Cha]

7. Thanks PopSquish!

[Phx_Dem]

9. She looked gorgeous last night. I love the last picture.

You can tell how competitive she is!

[POAS]

11. Watch those hands when you grab the flag boys!....n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

22. all's fair in football. nt

[Greybnk48]

15. I love it that she's athletic. I can't recall another first

lady who would qualify as being physically fit, much less athletic. It's so good for our kids and grandkids to see this!

compare her to Nancy R., the dried up old skeleton, or Laura the matronly cow. I love Hillary, so she gets a pass.

[badgerpup]

16. IIRC, Eleanor Roosevelt was physically fit...

I seem to remember she played a hot game of tennis before she became First Lady...
and she kept a pretty bruising schedule afterwards.

She had to be in pretty good shape in order to keep up with all her commitments and the stuff she did. :patriot:

Not old enough to remember her personally, just have read a little bit about her.

[Greybnk48]

18. Agree. Another awesome woman. But I didn't know she

was physically fit.:hi:

[RaleighNCDUer]

33. Jackie was pretty fit - she played tennis, rode horses, sailed -

but then she watched as Jack & Bobby played football - at least she never got into it with cameras watching.

[Spazito]

17. The First Lady is beautiful both inside and out...

Thanks for posting these photos, it is much appreciated.

Recommended.

[MindandSoul]

20. Thanks! I love it. . .what a gorgeous, healthy, smart and REAL First Lady we have! Le'ts keep her

[UrbScotty]

21. Third photo down. She's wearing red. She's a Communist!

:sarcasm:

Actually, it's pink. But hey!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. Perfect!

[WCGreen]

25. I think she is the prettiest First Lady since Dolly Madison....

She is vivacious, articulate, athletic, sassy, savvy and athletic to boot...

[SeattleGirl]

26. Unabashed gushing here!

Really love the football pics of her!

[flamingdem]

27. Looks like a hellish life, haw haw!

Wow, Michelle looks so athletic, good on her

[marew]

28. I love the head shots.

She has a beautiful, kind face!

[mod mom]

30. I don't get how people can be so photogenic-has Michelle ever taken a bad photo?

[L0oniX]

32. I love White House American Idol.

:eyes:

[PopSixSquish]

34. Well Honey, I Did Say Not to Click Unless You're Prepared to Gush

Personally, I like to celebrate the fact that our First Lady is a beautiful, intelligent, caring, accomplished woman. She inspires me and makes me smile.

I'm sorry she doesn't do the same for you...

[Duval]

37. Did you know about the ant???n/t

[Myrina]

35. ... she is beautiful, intelligent, compassionate ...

... everything any woman would love to be. I am proud to have her as the First Lady. :thumbsup:

[defendandprotect]

36. "Pretty is as pretty does" ... an old saying ... but still true ...

[mnhtnbb]

38. She really looks like a woman in hell, doesn't she? More like she's having a helluva good time.

Which is probably what she did say and is being misquoted.

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. Too late to rec, but here's a kick for our gorgeous First Lady.

:kick:

[BeyondGeography]

40. Threads like these remind me there's a whole lot of passion and love for the Obamas

Never get tired of them :kick:
