    Cute


  2. I love Gabby, but I DON’T love that wig.

  3. Jahpson

    Mrs. Obama is so pretty

  4. african_4_eva

    YES WE CAN!!!! They are so lovely…and Gabby is looking spectacular…and as far as the Hogans, SMH SMTIH!!!

  5. Smell My *****

    Barack is not a black man…His mother is WHITE..

  6. Ms Sharmaine

    I SAY WE DROP THE TITLE PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY AND USE THE KING AND QUEEN OF AMERICA!!!

  7. TRACY

    It’s about time US gave us a break from Angelina and Brad, whew (even though I love them). But it’s good to see a positive black couple.

  8. african_4_eva

    @NJBAP

    How did you get your GRAVATAR pic to show?

  9. Lou in the Chi

    Mrs. Obama did a spectacular job on the view today. What an intelligent cl*****y lady. And did I mention the woman can dress? Such a positive and powerful representation of a SBW(strong black woman). And yes, you can be a SBW and still be a loving and supportive wife and mother. Such a cl***** act.

    @Smell my *****

    You sound dumb as hell. One drop makes you black baby. And as long as Barack knows on which side his bread is buttered, he is alright with me.

  11. Celebrity CSI

    It’s about time US weekley showed some cl*****. I said US weekley, not essence. Didn’t want my words twisted. lol

  12. Celebrity CSI

    oops…minus the ‘e’.

  13. african_4_eva

    Thanks lil latte!!

  14. Kompton's Kutie

    Great Couple!


  15. i just want to say something about the cover

    1) i love seeing people in love

    2)obama, looks really happy to have her by his side.

    3) linda hogan, really needs to stop! I think that she is so selfish! Her and the hulk has been married for 20 something years, and I think that he wrestled his ***** off to make her and his kids comfortable! It appears that she didn’t have to lift a finger..and NOW she is skipping with some 18 year old?? HOW is he going to help her pay her bills…YALL know that the hulk is footing the bill for the both of them. AND She have kids that are teenagers..wtf? they know what is going on, and then she want to police to lock him up(HULK) MAN..he better get a good lawyer, and tell that flat ***** having b*tch to get a job! and her f*ck boy too

  16. Kompton's Kutie

    @Smell My *****

    When you mix with Black, you’re Black. White people view you as just that Black and they hate him so he’s BLACK all day no matter how White his mother was.

  17. Lou in the Chi

    Okay Ms. Suga now you tripping. Being a wife is a job and she deserves half. Period. He cheated on her with one of Brooke’s friends. At least she waited until they were seperated (shoulda waited for the divorce, but oh well). So he needs to pay whatever the courts ordered him to pay go straight to jail. Do not p***** Go. Do not collect $200.

  18. Lady Architect

    This cover of Barack and Michelle looks wonderful. You can see the non staged love between them.

    Gabby looks wonderful and has natural true beauty. Any woman that can wear any length of hair and still beautiful is naturally pretty. Some women hide behind their hair for beauty.

  19. intenzemocha

    Actually, I have this issue of essence and gabrielle actually cut her hair it’s not a wig

    I love the obama’s -black love is still alive

    why is it that the only time white people what claims on a black person is when they are famous or achieve success? Just curious, we didn’t make the one-drop rule they did, but now Obama comes along and oh he has a white mother-they didn’t make a difference during slavery-mixed and any other variation of black was considered a slave….just saying

  20. Marcia

    Great cover! I love Barack and Michelle. They make a beautiful couple and show true love towards each other.

  21. I'm Just Me

    I love this couple. I respect them! Wonderful, wonderful!

    Gabby looks nice but I don’t care for her hair/wig.

  22. Fee

    Very lovely couple. They look so happy.

  23. Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (fka Keepin' It Real - D'Original)

    I don’t even take a second look when I’m at the counter of a store and see US Weekly… Cause they be having pictures showing celebrities cellulite and other stupid s… and showing pictures of celebrities being stalked by the paparazzi…

    But I think that I actually might have to cop this joint and I’ma man…

    They did us (Black People) right with this one and I think we should show them the power of the Black dollar, especially when they show us in a positive light…

  24. bree is an OBAMA supporter.. YES WE CAN!

    wow The President and his First Lady on the cover of US weekly?

    what does Gabrielle Union have to do with the Obamas?

  25. Doc

    Micheles Rocks she was great on the View today. now i know why the republicans dont like her, they are afraid of a smart and outspoken black women.

    Condi rice please take some notes.


  26. doc

    it is too late for condolezza to take notes…we just want her to finish out the term with bush..with her legs up..like they have been for the entire 8 years! ok!!


  27. THE BEST POWER COUPLE OUT THERE!!!!

    UN-HUH…YES..WE CAN!!!

  28. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    i guess gabby figured if shorter weave worked for rihanna why not give it a go

  29. Aunt Viv

    I love the Obamas!!!! Our Royal Couple!

  30. Lush-Us Lipps

    Lovin our future 1st Family!

  31. Word

    BLACK LOVE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

  32. candyice83

    Don’t they look lovely!!! I can’t wait til November when they’re the first BLACK family in the WHITE house.

    OBAMA 08 YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  33. What’s with this double standard? Why Michelle needs a make-over…what…Mickey’s wife don’t?

    Conforming to white folks standards…SMDH!!! :(

  34. Yes.He.Will!

    Black love is a beautiful thing.

  35. Yes.He.Will!

    I do not think it is wrong for us to gush over a nice black family such as the Obamas. They are royalty, and it’s about time we stand behind black families that make us proud to be black!


  36. The Obama’s look so good 2gether….they look really happy and content with one another..that’s what’s up…

    @MS SWalls…you giving 2day…LOL!! you know that’s why I GOT YA BACK!..LMAO!!!

  37. I'm Just Me

    @ Afiya

    Hey Momma.

    Personally I don’t listen to the foolishness. Mrs. Obama does not need a make over at all.

  38. Yes.He.Will!

    Smell my ***** can smell my *****, cause one drop makes you black, and Obama wrote a book about that *****. Maybe if that dumb hoe spends time in libraries reading books, she might find his and be educated to his story. SMH.

  39. Somer

    I CAN’T WAIT TO GET HOME TO SEE THE VIEW


  40. HEY KZZZZZ

    WHAT IS SHAKIN

    IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT U HAVE MY BACK :P


  41. @I’m Just Me

    They know she DON’T…they just trying to rock her glory… *rolls eyes*

    I tried to post the article but Bossip wouldn’t let me…funny how all the bullcrap can get posted but some real ***** gets blocked… *rolls eyes*

  42. WordtotheWise

    Michelle did her thang on The View today! I am so proud of this sista. She was looking great too (I loved the dress). Look under cl*****y and poised in the dictionary, and her picture is right there. I love this couple. She is a wonderful, supportive wife, loving mother, and seems to be an overall cl*****y lady. Beautiful fam!

  43. obama

    next cover for us

    is “THE NATIONAL ENQUIRE”

  44. I Don't follow I Lead

    What a beautiful couple! The obvious love and respect they have for one another looks so…so natural, so real not forced or fake like the vibe I get from some of the other political couples.

    Yes We Can!

    Rockin’ her real hair? Cool.

  47. coco chanell

    THEY LOOK AMAZING TOGETHER. IT’S NICE TO SEE A WONDERFUL BLACK COUPLE FOR A CHANGE. THEY ARE REALLY LOVELY.

  48. inocentBIstandr

    You know it killed them to put them on the cover but I don’t care what the reason was…..I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! They are the epitome of a “BLACK COUPLE & FAMILY”. Yes, I know that every family has issues, but it feels good to see positivity sometime.

    don don don don don don don don don don don don *the theme for the president..

    YES WE CAN, YES WE DID, YES WE WILL!!

    OBAMA ‘08

  49. handful24

    It’s nice to see a black couple on the front page for the good not the BAD. People can blind if the want too but the truth is we might have a black family for the first time in the white house and white people dont worry he’s your man too…. works for the both of us! TIMES R REALLY CHANGING.

  50. Wu

    Why the same angle shot in three photos?

    No frontal picture? That’s boring.

  51. Natasha

    I adore them as a couple! Michelle is the ultimate role model for black woman. Woman period!!!

  52. I'm Just Me

    Disappointing numberof responses yet again. Yes I was up int he Fiddy/Buck threads (almost 300 and 200 posts respectively) but only 52 (including this one) posts on this thread! Shake my head. A solid, strong, history-making Black couple is on the cover of a decent (I guess, I don’t read it) magazine and we cannot leave Fiddy and them alone long enough to comment! SMDH! As I said I had several comments in the other threads but I did post in here as well a couple of times. This is real life people! Wake up! This is a real couple that could really be running the top office in America and we cannot make a productive comment, but everyone can tell you about Buck not being a man and tell you that Fiddy isn’t a man….PEOPLE WE HAVE A REAL MAN in front of us that has a wife, children (that he is taking care of), legal job, running for PRESIDENT of the USA and you cannot comment!!!! :(

    DISAPPOINTED IS NOT THE WORD…SMDH FELLOW BOSSIPERS…I AM ASHAMED.

    I am scared for the children!

  53. JahBless

    Love Michelle Obama, cl*****y and smart black women could try this aspiration, instead of any girl from Flavor of Love

  54. Kevin Randleman

    Its funny how the media keeps talking about this so called “makeover” but cant tell you why its needed.

    The truth is the media is allowing the Rebublcans to dictate how Michelle is perceived. In the last 3 weeks the Republicans have been talking about how Michelle is going to be a big problem for the democrats. Instead of asking why, the media just went along with it as if it were true.

    Its time for Obama’s advisors to step up when they’re in these interviews and ask these show hosts what exactly is it that Michelle is supposed to be changing about herself.

  55. FckedUp Patrol

    I dont like the fact I can park my car in one of Gabby’s nostrils

  56. DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    I LOVE GABRIELLE UNION!!!!!!!

    HATERS HAVE NO CHANCE!!!

    PEACE!
