she is in Cincinnnati today (me also, working here)... I was going to try for tickets but realize so many people here love her also (and I have had the extreme honor of meeting her personally) that I would forfeit and let someone else go

Michelle Obama is the best! We need her right now

Now compare her to Queen Ann...



I've spent a lot of time defending her on HuffPo lately. The shit these idiots say about her is just astonishing. A few months ago, she was on a morning show talking about her healthy eating initiative and even mentioned that we do have to have a cheeseburger every once in a while. I wrote a complimentary post and got a reply from some creature called "truckermama" who starts yelling that Mrs. Obama wants to MANDATE healthy eating for everyone! I responded that the First Lady is not a lawmaker. She sent me some more crap after that which I then ignored.

This is the kind of genius we're up against. Dumber than a rock and proud of it!
