My dad and I watched this interview together. He called her "very impressive."

Anyone notice how the band played "Isn't She Lovely" when she came out?

For all everyone talks about Barack's eloquence, I have to say that I could listen to Michelle Obama all day long. I look forward to four years of her being in the White House.

Thanks for posting that clip. I f'n love her. Total love. THANK YOU for recognizing that civilians and families, not just soldiers fighting, suffer during war.

SHE needs to be the next one to run. She's amazing.

I love her so very much.

I just love her. She and Barack are both so intelligent, so wonderfully self-possessed. I can't wait to see them in the White House.

My love for Michelle Obama and Tina Fey this elections season may lead me to question my sexuality.

Do you ever just imagine having her and Obama in the White House, two bright, intelligent people who seem to be grounded and real. I'm trying not to be negative but to contrast them with the current residents is mind-blowing.
Though she hits her talking points it just seems that she can have a down-to-earth conversation. These are people of substance
I so, so, so hope that Obama wins.
I wish the election was tomorrow.

I fully agree with all the other comments... I have already voted for her husband, and am looking forward to having both of them in the White House. Sarah Palin could learn a thing or two from Michelle Obama.

It makes me wish even harder that Alabama had early voting...she is just such a strong; intelligent; relaxed woman...I love how much of a true partnership the Obama's seem to have...*le sigh*

What a classy lady. Amazing.

Amen, Sigmund.

As I have already suggested, acute misery is not confined to developing nations. Material poverty exists alongside prosperity. Nevertheless, culture can be wielded to alleviate poverty by recentring communities and by providing a foundation upon which tangible, material economies can be built.

Paris’ Val-Fourre sink estate is Europe’s largest council estate, with 28,000 inhabitants, sky-high unemployment and growing school drop rates – inevitably worse for the immigrants, most of whom are from North Africa. Despite the republican French ideal of equality, they do not feel treated and respected as French. The combination – no job, no education, no respect – is a dangerous cocktail as the riots in the banlieues all over France in late 2005 showed. But here, as in so many other places, there are bright sparks such as Radio Droit de Cite, run by 60 local teenagers. The station gives them a platform on which to shape their identity and foster self-belief through producing documentaries, phone-ins, community information, sports and music. More than a dozen teenagers from the station have moved on to jobs in national broadcasting.
