I was wondering if everyone could sit back and watch the Michelle-Barack Obama/Barbara Walters interview again and tell me what you think about the Obama’s interactions. I am not talking about the dress she was wearing or whether or not Barbara Walters got the jokes. I am talking about the INTERACTIONS between the two (e.g., lipstick on a tooth, hail to the chief, etc.).

Its interesting but I sort of agree with Marie. Walters comes across as a latently nasty or bitchy person who is looking to find unpleasant information to focus on. I get the feeling she had to rein in her venom becuase at this moment noone can mess with the Obama dream without coming across negatively. Even when jokes were cracked she did not smile or made a grimace. Weird. It is not like it was hard-hitting serious interview so why the sour expression. I could go on and on but will stop now. All I can say is Walters seems like an angry, bitter, innately unhappy woman.

The Obamas are on alternating covers of Essence Magazine. All I could find was little pictures of it. I’d love it if you could find bigger pics.

Put me down for shallow too!

That is a great dress.

And since I’m here… Does anyone know the designer of the black skirt and shirt combo Michelle wore for a rally in Iowa last December 2007?

I’m thinking about wearing something similar to a Xmas party.

Writeblack, sometimes a little “shallow” is good!

I am European, so its really none of my business, but the interviewer is awful. She is very stiff, makes sounds to get along when the couple are trying to answer her questions, and she pretends not to get jokes. Obviously she is just looking for a negative headline. Very good interview, though.

I’m taking it upon myself to speak for every shallow person in the U.S. when I say that I paid attention to the content of the interview but my takeaway from it is: “OMG, Michelle looks awesome! Look at that dress! Look at her *in* that dress!”
