1. Damn fine looking lady....

[Whisp]

5. she sure is ;) I love that woman.

and yay for hula hoops! my daughter is practicing that and man is she good! neat tricks and stuff. I'm trying to convince her to post to youtube.

[Happyhippychick]

6. She always looks beautiful. So photogenic.

[Forkboy]

2. She's too cool.

[kjackson227]

3. Nice pics! I couldn't hula hoop anymore if my life depended on it.

[blondeatlast]

37. I never could either. Bugs me to this day and I'm in my 40s. nt

[tridim]

4. Wham-O is loving this.

And so am I. Love ya Michelle! :)

[tishaLA]

7. Michelle can double dutch?

Well alright, Mrs First Lady!

[azmouse]

8. Love ya Michelle but ...

does anyone else think it's time for our beautiful First Lady to retire the belt?

[Captain Hilts]

12. Yeah. She looks great, but probably better without the belt. AND more comfortable. nt

[Pirate Smile]

18. She obviously loves belts so I don't think they are going anywhere.

The criticism doesn't seem to phase her. :)

[Captain Hilts]

20. No one's being critical here....nt

[Pirate Smile]

21. I didn't mean you. I meant in the style/fashion chatter that goes on by the "experts".

[Captain Hilts]

22. Indeed. nt

[SoCalDem]

38. I too, am tiring of the bosom-belts

That top would have fit a lot better without it.
The belt under the boob thing only accentuates the roundedness of her figure. I think she should try a new plan for a while :) But then she did not ask me, and I even checked my messages.. none from Michelle:P

[Beaverhausen]

16. I thought the same thing

she just loves that thing!!!

[JSK]

27. yeah, I hate the belts. n/t

[Mira]

36. YES YES YES - the belt is so wrong, so "misplaced" and so

unnecessary.
A major signature "Fail".

And I, too, love Michelle, but the under the breasts belt is ridiculous.

[supernova]

9. So much fun having a young family

in the WH.

Go Michelle! :yourock:

[Captain Hilts]

13. Yes, it is. nt

[asdjrocky]

10. Really like that lady.

[Captain Hilts]

11. Neat!

[alsame]

14. Thanks! I can't wait to see video of this!! nt

[Ineeda]

15. never has a FLOTUS done such ordinary yet wonderful things...

and she looks so great doing them. I'm so proud she's our First Lady.

[Captain Hilts]

23. well...

[Ineeda]

30. Mrs. Roosevelt was an extraordinary woman

but I was referring to a FLOTUS jumping rope, running, hula hooping, etc. just like many Moms across the world. I can't imagine any other First Lady -- Eleanor, Pat, Nancy, Barbara, Pat or even Hillary doing such things, especially in public. It's great to see.

[Captain Hilts]

31. Eleanor rode on the grandchildren's swingset. But, yes, it's great to see Mobama do this.

Refreshing.

[DearAbby]

17. The love of life sparkles in her eyes

and the eyes are the window into the soul. I know it sounds corny, but I do look into people's eyes to find that spark.

[LeftHander]

19. Good thing she wasn't wearing shorts...

Republicans would of called for an investigation!

[MiniMe]

25. True, but she did run in bare feet

Oh, the horror.

[rucky]

28. And here I was wishing she had worn shorts.

[fascisthunter]

29. lol

ya dog!

[malaise]

24. How cool is that?

Lovely pics.

[David Zephyr]

26. When it comes to Michelle Obama, with me it's adoration.

Kadie, thanks for these uplifting and heartening photos.

Michelle is the best!

[Kadie]

39. I am so glad that my daughter will be growing up

with Michelle Obama as First Lady. She is a wonderul role model for young girls.

:hi:

[graywarrior]

32. I've met him in person, but I really would LOVE to meet her.

[Vidar]

33. She is a breath of fresh air.

[rvablue]

34. OK. I'm smiling and tearing up at the same time at the double dutch pic!

Who really thought, even four years ago, we'd have a First Lady doing double dutch on the South Lawn.

That image has left me like this: :D :party: :cry:

[proud patriot]

35. I just love the First Lady

she rocks

[surrealAmerican]

40. It's too bad she forgot her sneakers.

It would have been better than having to take off those silly "girl shoes" so that she could run.

[donheld]

41. It's great to have a first lady who you can actually be proud of.

[Hepburn]

42. Double Dutch FLOTUS!

Wow....:applause:
