1. Lovely. Apparently, a purple day.

Pretty entertaining.

But a VERY good cause.

So glad she is Secretary of State and Michelle is First Lady.

3. They really do look beautiful and

such an amazing ceremony for them and our country..

<snip>

"Up With Women"

"When Michelle Obama visits the State Department to speak at the International Women of Courage Award ceremony today at 4 p.m., she won't just be marking the achievements of some brave women or continuing her tour of federal agencies. She'll be part of a new drive across the government toward elevating women's issues at home and abroad.

In February, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, led by Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), took the lead by forming a subcommittee on women's issues, chaired by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). That move was followed at State by the creation of a new position of ambassador at large for global women's issues. On Friday, President Obama announced his intent to nominate Melanne Verveer, chair and CEO of the Vital Voices Global Partnership for emerging women leaders, to that post. Verveer was once Hillary Rodham Clinton's White House chief of staff.

And today, the first lady's visit to State will coincide with her husband's signing of an executive order forming a White House Council on Women and Girls, our colleague Chris Cillizza reports, to be chaired by Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett."

16. Michelle makes Hillary look tiny! Love the holding hands pic.

This is making me all warm and gooey inside, I don't know what to say. We really know how to put the past behind us in the Dem party. Two smart intelligent women. :)

21. I hope you caught the video/audio on cable tonight

with the live remarks the feelings of unity were even stronger.

Just another plus (+) we have on the imploding GOP right now!

18. Damn, Michelle is literally a head taller than everyone else there.

And she usually wears flats.

It's just strange seeing her in a picture with all women and how tall she really is. I bet she gets Nicole Kidman.

20. Well, at my stature, I happen "to get" the First Lady....and frankly one doesn't really think

about it. It's just who you are.
