"Try to have fun. Try to breathe a little bit," Mrs. Obama said. "But also win, right?"

1. Where are the shady bankers? The horse ballet? The gaffes?

The First Lady needs lessons on how to represent us.

2. How very clever of Dems to have her appear on Romney's heels.

Neat move, I like it.

8. Perfect!

4. SO unAnglo-Saxony of her - like all she can do is look great being encouraging and gracious

sheesh

9. I KNOW- how embarrassing for us to have such a warm, classy, elegant woman

representing our country in front of the world. I just love seeing photos of her-of the whole family actually- they always warms my heart and makes me feel proud of our first family.

3. What a classy, classy lady...

5. How many times do we see the Obamas hugging people?

I can't see either of the Rmoneys doing this very human thing. Therein tells the extent of the difference between the candidates' policies and beliefs.

If people could only see this difference, Rmoney would not receive a single vote except maybe Mitt and Ann themselves.

The contrast is stark and revealing.

10. That would make an interesting video

I'm preparing to make a couple of Obama campaign videos to release early in the fall. One of the videos will show visual contrasts between President Obama & Romney, and photos like these are perfect. I am thinking of starting a thread, asking for DU'ers help in providing suggestions of their most memorable contrasts to date. Thanks for the spark.

6. That looks like the women's basketball team

I know Michelle is proud and good luck to them!

12. Must be.

I believe the lovely Mrs. O is a six-footer, and those young ladies are considerably taller than she is.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Yup

I think she has been listed as 5'10 and over 6' in heels, and she can rag!! That outfit that she has on in picture is definitely eye-catching!

7. She is so real

we actually had a chance to chat with her back in 2008.
She is so warm and genuine - just like your next door neighbor.

16. Well, she was raised in a blue collar neighborhood in Chicago. She's real people.

23. Mrs. Lib and Michelle talked like old friends

comparing notes on their respective kids and their grandparents.

11. I am so proud to have THIS woman as our First Lady.

Warmth, Class and Honesty.

15. That 3rd picture brings a tear to my eye

All are wonderful, but what I see in the face of the Olympian in the 3rd . . . well, I'd like to see it a whole lot more.

17. Poor Michelle, having to clean up after "The Ugly American". I just adore her.

[Mr Dixon]

18. love it

[jillan]

19. She's pure class - inside and out! I adore her.

[RedStateLiberal]

20. I'm amazed anyone could hate our First Lady

yet I see it all the time from wingnuts. Why? Oh yeah... partisan politics and bigotry.

[nolabear]

21. I don't mean to go all girl on y'all but DAMN that's a cute jacket!

Where can I get one? Of course mine would be a little larger, but I think I could pull it off.
