(151,036 posts)and that's an asset. She is, though, married to the President of The United States. "Hot" isn't a word that I'd apply to her ever. But, then, I don't use that word to describe any women, actually. When I see a woman, the first thing I think about is not that I'd like to have intercourse with her, whatever her appearance. Calling a woman "hot" implies that thought, really, so it's really inappropriate, except, perhaps, when the woman in question is clearly presenting herself as an object of sexual desire.
Beautiful, elegant, charming, attractive, striking...those are good adjectives that don't bring sex into the discussion. Michelle Obama is all of those things, and her husband no doubt appreciates that very much. I think she's an asset to the country in many ways. I do not fantasize about her, though, and so "hot" simply isn't an adjective I'd use for her.
