I watched the interview of the Obamas and was disappointed by Michelle Obama’s “I have arrived” disposition. Yet, that is her character that is coming out once again. I share the same position as others in my circle of influence that watched the interview. She repeateldy interrupted her

“husband”, our next president and displayed a brash persona. Barack Obama remained humble and that is what the American people liked about his demeanor. I had much admiration for Michelle prior to this interview. However, I was turned-off by how she answered questions, interrupted her husband (communication- 101 failed), evaded answering questions (i.e. school selection for the children), was sharp tounged toward her husband (e.g. what he will miss becoming President - walks) and description of their past (i.e. apartment) which you may feel a certain way, yet

you don’t always verbalize your thoughts. That is just etiquette. I am confident that someone in her circle of influence will inform her of performance and how it communicated to the American viewrs. I am an accomplished, African female and I was disappointed. This isn’t a time to be “labeled” by on-lookers at this very delicate time in American History and Michelle’s interview didn’t help President-Elect Barack Obama.

Also, she looks like she could kick ass. She must be lifting weights to get arms like that. I love her.

This woman is simply making me smile in a "I'm so much more confident in the future now" way.

I think the "behind every great man..." saying had never been truer than with these two.

She's as tall as Obama, if not taller. And she doesn't try to hide it.

I love that she interrupts her husband in interviews, and that he defers to her on a lot of questions. Two things I've never seen from a first lady!

6. She tells it like it is. This woman does not mince words and I love that.
