Someone We Actually Like

Posted by Bossip Staff

The next First Lady already has a transcending beauty about her that doesn’t require a $150,000 wardrobe. She was recently on Jay Leno talking fashion among other things:

Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, , made a guest appearance on Jay Leno Monday, and the talk show host didn’t waste any time mentioning the recent controversy surrounding Sarah Palin’s lavish wardrobe. Questioned by Leno, the potential first lady declined to criticize GOP vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin about revelations that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 at Neiman Marcus and other high-end retailers on clothes and accessories for Palin and her family, according to The Associated Press. “Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble,” she told comedian Jay Leno. She wore a yellow sweater, skirt and blouse ensemble. “You can get some good stuff online,” she added. Obama said she and her husband have a policy of spending their own money on their clothes. But she said she wanted to be “empathetic.” “A V.P. pick, it’s like being shot out of a cannon. All of a sudden you’re at the center of attention, and you want to look good,” said Michelle Obama, adding she has never met Palin. “You’re living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you’re on the national stage and everyone’s watching.”

What a classy first lady we will have. Pale-in would not respond remotely as tactfully as Michelle did. You know they would have been handing out flyers, blasting emails, and running commercials if Michelle had spent that kind of money on anything.

  30. The_Truth

    **Mrs. Obama shows first lady’s don’t just stand in the background, clap, and have library programs. . .they’re leaders too. She is as influential as her husband! This is the black woman media hasn’t/ doesn’t want to show.

    **I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!**

  31. Afiya - GO PHILLIES!

    I love her personality…she’d make a perfect first lady!

    Barack the Vote!

  32. BE

    Always showing that beauty is as beauty does. You can not be considered beautiful until it exudes from the inside out…cl*****y, cl*****y lady. Palin can learn alot from Michelle…

  33. Aunt Viv

    Michelle Obama is the embodiment of beauty intelligence and cl*****. Sarah Palin isn’t fit to like her shoes.

    Good morning Bossipers!


  34. Lovely, cl*****y lady! Love her style and strength, exuding cl*****, intelligence and integrity all the way, a fine lady!

    CHANGE – YES WE CAN!

  35. Curious

    If Obama wins, she will hold one of the highest spots a black woman has held….. but either way she still in the same category as Tameka foster when it comes to looks…

    “Pale-in would not respond remotely as tactfully as Michelle did.”

    Bossip, this statement is so true! Michelle Obama is the epitome of what black women in this world is and stands for…the Claire Huckstable, if you will that does exist! I saw it everyday in my grandmom and mother and now the whole world gets a chance to see it as well and its live and in person…and color!

  43. tomica

    compairing Palin and Michelle Obama is compairing apples to oranges. Palin is not the future first lady she trying to be v.p. and she should be compaired to Biden. that would make sense. I am not saying that spending $150,000 is the right thing to do but it is unfair to compair her to Michelle.

  44. LOLLIIIPOP!!! HATERZ EVERY WH3R3 I G0!!

    Michelle you are so beautiful and cl*****y! Obama’s Voter! Yes We Can!!

  45. sexy chan

  54. Bohwe

    I’m so ecstatic that a black woman is showing the world,that black woman can be educated,well-spoken, cl*****y, sophisticated, feminine. Finally, little black girls can see that they can be so much more than baffoons, ghetto, uneducated , etc, stereotypes. Finally the world can see a black woman that isn’t the debauchery that we see as a depiction of us in entertainment.

    I thought it was so cute how Jay Leno was just in awe of her.

  55. Christilicious

    I love you Michelle


  56. She’s pretty awesome. Michelle doesn’t need to spend $$$ on clothes because she can make whatever she is wearing look cl*****y. Sarah is an Alaskan woman and they tend to be a little rough around the edges and working cl*****, so they had to help her out.

    EVERYONE GO VOTE EARLY! THE GOP IS GETTING VERY UPSET OVER THE HIGH BLACK TURNOUT IN STATES LIKE VA, NC, IN AND GA. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE COURTS TO CLOSE DOWN SOME CENTERS BY SAYING THAT FRAUD IS HAPPENING.

    BY NOVEMBER 4TH, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A LOT OF CHOICES OF WHERE TO GO.


  57. Michelle doesn’t need to wear expensive clothes because she makes what she wears look cl*****y. Sarah is from Alaskan and the women there tend to be a little rough around the edges and working cl*****, so she needed some help.

    People GO VOTE EARLY. The lines on 11/4 are going to be horrendous, especially in black neighborhoods, which are already understaffed.

  58. Chris

    Michelle Obama has to be the prototype of what you would imagine the perfect wife to be.

  59. JohnnyGal

    THE ORIGINAL HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME AND SHE’S INTELLIGENT AND EDUCATED AS WELL! HOW MANY SO CALLED HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME CARRY THIS STATUS? BESIDE OPRAH.

  60. always knew

    beautiful, cl*****y and intelligent black women…you are admired and respected..

    Haveno*****- you are such a loser, continue trolling…

  61. roosevelt taylor

    finest first lady of all time


  62. Just as Mr. Obama has to be the Jackie Robinson of presidential politics, Mrs. Obama has to play a similar part. Something about Caesar’s wife having to be above reproach.
