Michelle Obama’s reign as First Lady officially began today, and she’s already getting things done:

Michelle Obama stepped into the public-policy spotlight as first lady for the first time on Thursday, hailing a new law that will give women greater power to challenge sex discrimination in the workplace.

Standing below a portrait of Lincoln in the State Dining Room of the White House, Mrs. Obama described pay equity as “a top and critical priority for women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, older women, younger women, women with disabilities and their families.’’

Mrs. Obama said the legislation, which was signed into law by President Obama on Thursday, symbolized her commitment and her husband’s to ensure that policies are put in place to “help women and men balance their work and family obligations without putting their jobs or their economic security at risk.

Michelle O. is going to be rubbing elbows with some pretty powerful and influential people, while getting on the job training for the next 8 years.  Hmmm…

The name, Obama, is already synonymous with being president; could she, y’all?

    maybe 2016 if obama does well and she runs for senate after his 8years, follow Hilary’s path

  • Hannibal

    ironically me and some friends were saying this right after barack won the election. there was an older man in the room who couldn’t understand why we were even fathoming the thought of her going that route. but, there’s definitely some potential for her to have a strong future in politics. people hated hillary for a long time and she made a strong go at it….you just never know.

    I’m kinda scared of a black woman running the US, with the anger management issues and all, lol i’m joking

  • malik

    who the hell is this “Hannibal” character??? Hoe sit down!

  • BE

    Of Michelle can!! She is intelligent and a worker..not like the people who talk and never do anything or come up with ideas and don’t have any real agenda to get it done.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..MICHELLE

    HANNIBAL GO AWAY

  • Hannibal

    BOOOOOOOOOO MALIK AND BE

  • c from stl

    @HANNIBAL

    I absolutely loathe your gravatar. :(

  • Hannibal

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOO C FROM STL

  • Kiss my ass Bossip

    That’s good to know, change has come

    side note has everyone seen the Obama single ladies spoof video on youtube, it’s jokes

  • keeks

    YES SHE CANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN..GO MICHELLE O…

  • Phxkutie

    LOL @ Hannibal!

  • NorthBound to the Loop

    I hope this means equal pay for women. Women are paid 73 cents to every dollar a man makes in the same position despite having the same experience and education.

  • emmy

    without a doubt. ;-)

  • Kigali (Is working with a full clip of IDEAS)

    @NortherBound,

    Doubt it. If you were wanted to get paid like men you better work like men. No leaving early to pick up the kids from day care, no taking off work because your kids are sick. No maternity leave. No PMS.

  • http://www.gmail.com Man, I just don’t care

    Uh huh. Just as I suspected. Barack is already signing and endorsing Michelle’s Policies. I knew it wouldn’t be long but DAMN.

  • BE

    @Man..that is a good policy – so hush!

  • always knew

    I’m glad that women who perform the same jobs, will be paid equally…I wondr when men will start having kids, so they can respect their wives, that do..It’s not the easiest thing to be pregnant and carry all that weight around, then have to push it out..Yeah, we do deserve some extra consideration. just like men have had the laws,in their favor since this country started. it’s good to see equal pay for equal work..That will make more families financially secure, now that they can’t pay the woman $3.00 and the man $300,000. for the same job…It affects women of every race, background, young or old..Excellent job, Michelle and Barack! A president for all the people! I love it:)!

    Anyone who thinks that no maternity leave, or sick kids aren’t a reason to look after them, shouldn’t have children or open their mouths, when they clearly hate any women,wife, who can produce a child with her husband… Hatred and stupidity are astounding!!

  • Hannibal

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALWAYS KNEW

  • always knew

    Barack also is setting up a civil rights division in the police stations…Is that biased too? Isn’t that showing special treatment? Lames….

  • always knew

    havenoballs- that’s right sit behind a compter and boooooooooooooooooooooooo at the screen. You’re an idiot, no one should EVER take you seriously!:)

    “Go sell your drugs!–you said it, I didn’t:)

  • Hannibal

    ALWAYS KNEW

    THAT WAS MEAN

  • Razzell Dazzell

    @Hannibal, we know that’s your auntie, would she approve of you using her picture without permission? NE waz, self hate leads to self destruction, you’ve already started bastard! Mitchelle Obama is indeed qualified, she has consumated executive experience, she is highly intelligent (could compete with the best of them), and she is certainly in the position to manuaver her way into policy making, international and domestic affairs, as well as understanding the work family balance. I’d certainly vote for her!
    Obama/Biden 2012!
    Obama/Obama 2016!

  • um…

    LOL @ HANNIBAL…..AND THATS A GOOD LOOK, IM HAPPY SHE IS GETTIN INVOLVE–I HEARD ABOUT THIS ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING– GO MICHELLE!!

  • Hannibal

    MICHELLE OBAMA IS SWAGGER JACKING CONDOLEZA RICE!

  • http://www.teaandsuch.blogspot.com Tea

    She absolutely could and I’d vote for her.

    I also love that she’s doing exactly what she said she would do in the white house… look out for working women. Get it Mrs. Obama!

  • Colonel StinkMeaner(yes courvoisier is the drink…)

    He’s an old lame ass nigga that posts dumb shit on Bossip. He’s usually the very first person to post a comment in each story which means that he must not have a job.

  • Marshall’s Wife

    Change is here!

  • Black.Woman

    That would be fantastic.
    Michelle is class. The Epitome and apex, thereof. Her man would support her. How cute. :)
    Obama/Biden/Obama 12 & 16

  • ME

    Michelle has more class than the females that are involved with this site. How can you go from down grading black people to honoring another and saying we all should get along.

  • Flawdagurl

    Michelle show them how to take care of a famiy and run the White House.Im loving this but I know who is not…..FOX pick up your jaw!

  • http://~ HannibalTheHungriestHo

    Mrs. O is into big things~
    I hear her~

  • bsw

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hannibal. ho sit down!!!

  • Ms Sharmaine

    That my First Lady!!!

    First Lady Michelle Obama is getting the job done with her strong hand ON LOCK!!!

    Finally the people are getting their monies worth in this administration. I do not believe the First Lady is rubbing elbows with the powerful but more making the dot connect. President Obama has a plan and the First Lady is executing things on her end.

    The first Family’s game is tight and on point! We can all take notes.

    Hannibal everybody has their own opinion regarding Politics; if every post regarding President Obama and First Lady is going to be negative. Maybe you need to make your comments on FOXNEWS or go on the Hannity and Bill O’Reilly show.

    I’m behind the first lady 1000 percent.
