#1 "intelligent," "strong" and "classy."

Mind boggles.

#2 Clear proof that there is an alternate universe.

Mods, you forgot the other most common one-word description, "Chewbacca".

#3 And this is how many of the rest of us see her ...in Michelle's Mirror.
Flawlessly, my Aunt Fanny!

#4 Is that a Soviet style FIST on the poster on the podium?

#5 Is that a Soviet style FIST on the poster on the podium?

Yup. Either that or the ISO's.

#6 I suppose if I looked like a shark I would think I was a shark too.

#9 The Selling of Michelle is perhaps the most successful program of the Obama presidency.

Think about that one.

(definately some good communist artwork there, does look PS'd onto the podium)

#10 Very interesting that it's only Black women who are said to identify with her in the article, contrary to the headline. This bodes ill for November.

Mrs. Obama is a successful career woman, as the world judges such things, much as could have been said about Secretary of State Clinton at the same age...though likely will not be said about her daughter. It is right that people see that showing up for work every day and cultivating one's connections will take one farther than ability alone, and that there is success to be found beyond basketball and show business. Mrs. Obama isn't someone I would invite over for dinner, but I respect that she did her best and took advantage of the opportunities that came her way, instead of using the excuse of her family's difficulties to become a welfare baby-momma.

#11 "Every time she flawlessly performs her role as first lady just by being who she is, she shows how extraordinary and exceptional we are," says Harris-Perry.

Somehow I doubt Ms. Harris-Perry ever felt that way about Condy Rice. And the fist is from Metallica's St. Anger album cover (Photoshop, no doubt).

#12 black women say the first lady's racial and gender identity are essential to the deep connection they feel they have to her.

So, in other words, they're racist and sexist. Whatta surprise.

But every time she is booed at a NASCAR rally, the terrifying reality emerges that it will take so little for the love and admiration of Michelle Obama to go away.

Only you love and admire her. The fact that others might not share that view simply does not occur, does it?

#13 Funny thing is, when Michelle Obama goes after the diet thing, she's directly attacking the food choices of a majority of african americans and saying they are incapable of making proper decisions, yet they don't seem to notice or care.

#14 rjschwarz - that is along the lines of:

Saying that needs special considerations in public schools (because they are too stupid themselves).

That needs special consideration in collage enterance exams (because hey, they are just plain too stupid to study and earn it on their own).

That needs special considerations in government contract grants because (wait for it - they are too stupid and incompetent to compete on their own merits).

That needs special consideration...

#15 That needs special consideration to get elected president.

#16 Black women love Michelle? Why? Because it's all bling all the time, as long as the party lasts? Bah.

If anything, I pity her. She was robbed of a decent education, and now she's married to a douchebag, instead of a real man.

#17 A role model for semi-skanky middle school teachers everywhere.

#18 As to outfits and dress - I've got to ask this - what did she ever do to her chief of staff that such unflattering outfits are chosen for her?

#19 Everything I've learned about women is that when they praise another woman is because she is NOT seen as a threat. In this case, fugly to the bone.

#20 Sure, she's got class, just most of it's third class. Not original, but I like it.

#21 "now she's married to a douchebag, instead of a real man"

Get real, Random. What real man would have her?
