remember C...but think it is so cool

I generally expect DU to be at least a notch above People Magazine, but maybe I'm wrong?

comment on a serious matter ?

The 6 minutes it took from the time you posted your OP to the time I posted my response is 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I coulda been a contendah!

it might be about something important?

I mean no harm...perhaps needed a break from Christie saga

So I clicked to see if it had been posted in jest.

Honestly, I really don't care. Carry on. I don't begrudge your choice in entertainment.

Peace.

about botox

of turning the First Lady into a fashion model?

She's a political leader and this isn't People Magazine.

she sets fashion trends. And she loves both, so why can't we?

As opposed to what political leaders, especially female political leaders, wear or how they put up their hair.

This is what blogs are for.

taking a break every once in a while.

No, it shouldn't matter what our leaders look like or wear - but actually, in reality, if you look at studies on voter trends - people do take looks into account, perhaps subconsciously. Right or wrong..it's reality.

The "lighten up, Francis" crap is old and worn out. Find a new trope.

Just switch it with...the 'everything is sexist/sexism' crap is old and worn out. Find a new pot to stir.

Nothing sexist about asking which hairstyle someone likes or favorite dress etc. You could post pics of Pres. Obama with different suites and do a poll asking which style/color suites him best. If that's the case we need to close all salons and trash all mirrors. Admiring someone, even their hairstyle doesn't equal sexism. Sometimes saying someone looks nice is just saying someone looks nice.

Sexism under every bush is getting old and doesn't help the cause.

let me answer it. I don't need you to tell me what I would or wouldn't say. I don't know if you're a man or a woman, but using your spoon and pot, if you're a man I'd hang the sexism necklace around your neck. I'm a woman that is capable of answering, I don't NEED or WANT you to do it for me.

Now, to answer your question. I MOST CERTAINLY would say to Michele Obama that I think she's beautiful, intelligent, etc. AND if I happen to like her hair that day, I'd say your hair is gorgeous.

So there's your answer.

Oh, and if it's a male politician-say Bill Clinton-I would have zero problem telling him how much better he looks since he's lost weight.


edited to add....I'm done with this silliness. I will not derail this thread any further with this. I've said my peace.

eventually went B.

I wish she would go natural

pic is just breathtaking.

but B type styles are my fave.

I don't like anyone's bangs hanging down over their eyebrows. I do like it that Mrs. O tries different hairdo's. There have been many others I like better than any of these in the poll.

seeing her new look at the inauguration.

Best First Lady Ever!

Thanks Laura~

I can not believe the abuse you are getting for posting this. Amazing!

and say that we can't have a little breather from serious stuff. But, there is always one who will come out and say "Movies? Can't believe you are wasting your time, with the world going to hell in a handbasket, to see a time-wasting movie."

She is an awesome, kind, caring human being. She has brought a bright light into this White House and our lives. Reach out and touch someone, yes she has accomplished that.

Thanks so much for your thread! Damn the naysayers. I loved it, Laura~

just beautiful.

No..it's not been perfect - but it has just been so incredibly great that we have two people leading our country who we can respect,admire and actually like. And...for many living in big cities - especially NYC and DC, being able to sleep well since Bin Laden is gone it has been worth its weight in gold.

Not something that I want because to err is human. To admit and correct those mistakes in my opinion is divine.

The Obama's have done so much for this country, I applaud them.

LOL, glad you enjoyed the Fallon clip. It was wonderful!

Laura

A!

Thanks Laura.. I see no harm or foul in having a little levity and frivolity!

Her glowing from the inside with that smile and laughter get me the most.. 'cause I know her record of helping kids, military families, and We The People!

First Lady Michelle Obama leads a group of 400 local children on the South Lawn of the White House to help break the Guinness World Records title for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period, Oct. 11, 2011. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy)

Yesterday, something special happened. People around the world joined together towards the same goal: to set a Guinness World Record® for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. The challenge was to have more than 20,000 people from around the world do jumping jacks for one minute.

Joined by National Geographic Kids Magazine, First Lady Michelle Obama had the chance to launch the effort to break the record from the South Lawn of the White House:

I get to do a lot of cool things, but this is really exciting. I never thought in my entire life that I would be here today to break a Guinness World Record. Woohoo! And I’m here doing it with all of you and that makes it even more fun, because the whole country -- the world is going to see just how much fun we can have not just breaking a world record but also doing some exercise, right? Because that’s one of my big things. “Let’s Move” is about kids eating healthy and moving and staying active, so you all are ready for life and for all the challenges that you’re going to face.

Mahalo, she, for the Jumping Jacks Around the World Vid and pics of First Lady Michelle Obama~

down to the person's eyes.

I didn't even bother to click on the "Pass" option. We really do have more important things to worry about than this. And I am SICK of this cult of personality.
