Reply #1: I love having Michelle Obama as our First Lady

I like her better than Jackie Kennedy who was too distant and unapproachable although she was very popular. Michelle is truly involved with the community. I don't mean to sound like I didn't like Jackie. She was very important for our national image at the time and she took on the mantle of First Lady with style and grace and she was beautiful and classy. I just like Michelle's ability to do that AND put her sneakers and gardener's gloves on and hoist a shovel like she knows which side is the business side. And then the hugs she gives! No child except her own ever got a hug from Jackie. Michelle is approachable and Jackie wasn't and that makes all the difference.
