I saw the interview and the first lady looks beautiful as always. Mrs. Obama yes their are millions and million of ppl from every country on this planet that praying for you guys god bless you and the united state of America
Ii really like our First Lady.
Teavangelicals will find something hateful to say. You can bet on it.
Cue the extreme rightwing hatemonkeys in 4,3,2,1....
America allow me to let you in a little secret I know but you don't know! when it comes to FAITH IN GOD no man is worth to clean the first ladys' shoes. Its her faith which won the last election and its the same faith which will bless her with five more years in that white house. Please, Listen to her and listen good mortals!!!
What a classy lady Mrs. Obama is. I can't see the tuba player being able to smile or even have a nice thought about anyone except to sell her book.
I think that Mrs. Obama is failing young Americans profoundly, here.
She is addressing people based on appearances.
She is not recognizing the potential for a indisputable fact that there exists DNA of African-Americans in many evident Caucasians. As it is that many African-Americans share DNA with Caucasians or other races.
Speaking to the skin instead of to the people, generally – is intentionally racist in terms of recognizing color as the primary purpose of the talk.
So, her position here is strange for such an allegedly educated individual that knows better.
According to many on the Right – the Obamas don't have faith and the "eating right thing" is an intrusion on people lives. But if it was Laura Bush, Nancy Reagan, etc., it would be different!
Go Michelle – No matter what!!!
