I'm not being funny, but why are the press going on about Michelle Obama like she's some sort of uber chic goddess?
She's beautiful, according to Lorraine Kelly and various other members of the daytime TV crowd. Is she? Is she beautiful? I must be looking at the wrong woman, because I thnk she's less than average and to rub salt in, she's got an undershot jaw. Why do the press feel obliged to give outrageous compliments to her? Why do they feel the need to have entire fashion articles dedicated to what she's wearing today? We never seem that bothered about her French counterpart, who IS beautiful and who IS the height of fashion. I wonder why that is?
Allegedly she's the height of fashion!! well I'm not being funny, but the Queen looked trendier than Mrs Obama when they met today.
To be fair old Barrack got the pick of the bunch at school though didn't he?
My favourite moment of today though, was when a Beeb One reporter asked a hoody clad youth why meeting the new first lady was such a special moment? she replied "Coz she's the first black one in it"
I just don't get it

I've never had any interest whatsoever in the wives of world leaders, for all I care Obama could be single or divorced, Michelle Obama isn't important to anybody other than her husband and family in the cold light of day.
It is a little odd how the first lady is always lauded in this way, suddenly the height of fashion, absolutely FLAWLESS wife and mother, aswell as the epitome of a strong powerful woman. What exactly is this all based upon? The press seem to love creating a myth around these women and reporting this kind of irrelevant nonsense.
