Michelle Obama will be the First of the First Ladies.
First woman not white.
First woman with a flair for artistic fashion. The dress on Election night was great. It drew attention to her as a woman in her own right. It showed a united family: colour coordinated.It made for great family photos. The red splashes on the dress symbolized celebration, art and blood shed: menstrual as well!
The black was obvious. People of African descent.
The cardigan symbolizes practicality and crosses class divisions.
as well as means someone willing to roll up her sleeves and always ready to WORK!
Michelle brings so much as a First Lady: Nothing lacking in elegance and grace and humility here.

oh geez… this is almost as amusing as watching Tim Robbins try to vote LMAO: http://tinyurl.com/5jwm9c

Really? umm… Really?

In 2009 our First Lady will be smarter than 99% of the country. RIP childrens' book writing whitehausfrau image.

At the same time, she's a graduate of Harvard Law, and a very strong and capable woman. I think she'll have all the style and grace of Jackie Kennedy, and all the diplomatic and intellectual acumen of Eleanor Roosevelt and others.
