    Michelle?

    Gee, the first things I noticed about her were that she had a bit smile, was intelligent, listened well, and was fiercely protective of her family.

    I don't agree with the poster who wrote that "women are not sexual objects," so that you couldn't write ridiculous articels like this one. The reason you don't write such drivel is that it's simply is absurd - we just had a history-writing election, replacing a privileged white anti-science incompetent with a from-the-poor-side-of-town black intelligent law school professor.

    She - the First Lady - might become a fashion icon, if she chooses; she has the visibility. Mrs. Kennedy, with the weird voice and incredible style, did so; none since her have, although Mrs. Reagan would have liked to.
