Michelle Obama Watch

For ages, women have supported one another with advice and encouragement.  Either it was shared between mother and daughter, or sister to sister, or friend to friend.  Intrinsicly, most women just want to help one another along the way.  Well, two women by name of Barbara Seals Nevergold and Peggy Brooks-Bertram have gathered uplifting letters, hopeful poems and comforting recipes from women around the globe all dedicated to Michelle Obama.  They took those messages and compiled them into a book called, "Go, Tell Michelle:  African American Women's Letters to the New First Lady."   ...

Don't know about you, but the imagery evoked by this picture taken yesterday of Michelle and the wees sends shivers up my spine. LOVE IT!!! JUST LOVE IT!!!

Carmen D. All About Race If you'd like to invite our future first lady to speak at your event you don't have to have an inside track to get to her staff, but you will need a keyboard and an internet connection. Turns out that the change.gov site is not just for connecting with our President-elect and his administration, but it is also the way to tackle at least the first hurdle in snagging a spot on Mrs. Obama's schedule. Here's what ... Read More

Michelle Obama and the weeMichelles arrived in DC last night in low key fashion for the start of school on Monday: Even without advance notice of their early arrival, a small crowd formed to greet the Obamas at the hotel, attracted by news cameras staking out the entrance. When the motorcade zoomed into the alleyway behind the building, onlookers strained on tiptoes, with cameras in hand, to see over Secret Service SUVs that largely blocked off the entire scene. No one saw much ... Read More

Daily News political correspondent Michael Saul highlighted fiery comments made by Anne Coulter in her latest book, Guilty: Liberal Victims and their Assault on America. According to Coulter, Mrs. Obama is not only a Jackie O. wannabe but a freakish imitator of the late first lady: Right-wing flame thrower Ann Coulter blasts incoming First Lady Michelle Obama as a freakish Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis imitator in a book to be published next week. Coulter slams Obama's dress sense as well as the way she wears her hair: Lashing out at ... Read More

Michelle Obama sat down with CNN's Suzzanne Malveaux. We've heard this story before, so I don't know why Suzanne asked these questions again, but if you want to hear about their first date and how they met, you can watch it again. Of course the media is focussed on the fact that she said that her husband is a "no frills guy". Anywho, I like the green on her. Embedded video from CNN Video Michelle Obama, who will become America's next first lady ... Read More

We've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, toyed with like the last M&M in the candy dish at a chocoholic convention. I've been giving these folks tips along the way. According to the NY Times, Mrs O, one of our favorite blogs is not an "indie" blog at all, but an experiment by an advertising agency. Earlier this week, Michelle Obama Watch gave a big shout out to Mrs O a blog about Michelle Obama's fashion. I thought they were an independent operation like ours, but ... Read More

I was quite intrigued by an article on Washingtonpost.com, titled “First Lady: A Job Worth a Paycheck”written by Lauren Stiller Rikleen. Hmm... Should Michelle Obama receive a paycheck for her role as First Lady? It’s an excellent question that deserves some attention. Says Rikleen, “First lady. First mom. Mom in chief. No -- none of these titles works. And therein lies the problem.  When Michelle Obama moves into the White House, she will inherit a title with no job description as the world ... Read More

Last week, M.O.W contributor Bridgette shared with us Why the Fashion Industry Needs Michelle: Michelle is a marketer’s dream. She has immense mass appeal and all levels of the fashion industry are chomping at the bit for a little slice of the Michelle Obama pie. The writers at Mrs-O.org, who I recognize as fellow Michelle Obama watchers, are also "on watch" for Michelle's whirlwind impact on the fashion industry. According to the authors, inspiration for the MrsO blog came after Michelle's appearance at the ... Read More

It appears that the Right seem to have found smoking gun to bring down soon to be First Lady, Michelle Obama. While past archaeological digs ranging from the infamous whitey tape to her senior Princeton thesis to supposedly telling all about Barack's birth in Kenya have garnered nothing but dust, many feel they have now hit true pay dirt. The "dirt" now is the revelation that Michelle Obama is on "Court Ordered Inactive Status" according to the Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court (ARDC) of Illinois. ...
