    Can we get over Jackie O?

    I recently saw footage of her giving the white house tour and her affected, girly voice gave me the willies. It sounded like she had spent years perfecting it so she could sound demure and lady like to the opposite sex. Even creepier was how much the voice reminded me of Marilyn warbling "Happy Birthday Mr. President."

    As far as Michelle goes, love her. Smart, no-nonsense, funny and opinionated. Just what you want in a good girlfriend, regardless of her race. If the writer experiences empowerment through her butt cheeks, I say enjoy. I would warn her off the pencil skirts and leggings, however. There's a reason Michelle doesn't wear either. I would recommend Michelle also shun the wide belts, which emphasize her short waist and yes, her caboose.
