Michelle Obama Channels ‘The Good Wife’ Alicia Florrick In #SOTU Outfit

Posted in: , , ,

Yesterday, just before the State of the Union adress by president Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama shared a short Instagram where she was wearing the outfit above. A Twitter user quickly noted that Mrs. Obama was wearing the same dress and Michael Kors jacket worn by Julianna Margulies' character last season on 'The Good Wife.'

Hashtags and memes ensued as commentators compared the designer attire worn by FLOTUS to its on-screen version. Some naysayers also brought up the point that the dress had been worn by Alicia Florrick, the wife of a disgraced politician in the hit TV series.

But those are just haters. See more photos of the stunning Michelle below...I think the outfit looks amazing on her, and check out her figure for a woman of 50!

‪#‎ThanksMichelleObama‬ - Students Unhappy With Healthy School Lunches Or Political Gimmicks?

Posted in: , , ,

#ThanksMichelleObama is the sarcastic hashtag that young students are using to set Twitter on fire as they blame first lady Michelle Obama for their school lunches might obey new food regulations she championed, but which they say looks bad and tastes worse.

First lady Michelle Obama has made one of her personal campaigns that of getting childhood obesity down using healthy eating as an option. The other avenue is getting children to move more by being more physically active. But it all starts with what goes in the mouth so the first lady has worked with those in education to get the food served in schools healthier.

But the children seem not to be liking their modified menus for their school lunches. Those old enough to tweet are speaking out on social media and calling their food all manner of awful.

Joan Rivers Says President Obama is Gay, And Michelle Obama a Transgender

Posted in: , ,

I understand about freedom of speech and all that but sometimes lines are crossed, and I think this is one of those times. Either Joan Rivers pleads senility on account of her age or she may be liable for libel!

The TV host of Fashion Police was in New York recently for a bookstore appearance, and was asked some questions about when she had officiated an impromptu gay wedding between two of her fans. The reporter then asked her if she thought the US would ever see a gay president.

Joan Rivers replied: "We already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down.”

As she started walking away, 81 year old Rivers added: “You know Michelle is a tranny.”

When asked to confirm what she said, Joan Rivers responded: “A transgender. We all know.”

See the video clip below.

Magazine Covers - Michelle Obama Talks Higher Education With Essence

Posted in: , ,

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been vocal about her passion for higher learning, and she expounds on that in her candid conversation with ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Vanessa K. Bush. 

A big part of the recipe for success has to do with nurturing reslience in our children, she says.

"I know I tell my kids all the time that they shouldn't shy away from difficult things, because that is the point at which you are really growing. It's not just about grades or test scores. Today our kids may shy away from applying to college if they think they don't have the right grade or test score. But the truth is that the kids who succeed and go on to be successful professionals are the ones who know how to work hard."
