A friend of mine's called me today while I was at work. She talked about Michelle Obama. How the London school children LOVED HER.
The fascination with our First Lady has skyrocketed like a shooting star. She is the star, she is our, American, Princess Diana.
I would not state this, but as my friend was talking, she could not stop but compare Michelle and Diana. I always felt that way about Michelle. The nastiness of the GOP trying to paint her this past election made many stomachs turn, but to look at her now brings tears to my face. She is glamorous, approachable, humble, smart, athletic, svelte, practical, and beautiful. She is the woman we all are, but she is on the national stage. She represents all of us, the working women with children, a husband and home. She has shown and proven that we can tackle the huge issues down to the little ones, just like us, ladies do it every single day.
I am proud of Michelle Obama, she surely makes each one of us proud to have her as the First Lady of the United States, and Barack Obama is damn lucky.

immense proud to America but you have brought proud to all
humanbeings on the earth. Your visit as a First Lady overseas has
raised standard of all women rich and poor without attached stigma
of any race and religion. When we saw you with children and ladies
every proud American eyes were in tears.
May God Bless you and America.

First, the obvious and tragic end of Princess Diana's life is just not what I want associated with Mrs. O.
Second -- They had very different upbringings. I got the sense that Diana was actually not really cherished at all, resulting a materially rich but woefully neglected woman. Her love relationships seemed anything but partnerships. It would appear that she was 'chosen' as suitable wifey material, and that's really all that was thought to matter. She followed along and used her
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama, on the other hand, was loved, supported and surrounded by positive family and friends, obtained a great education and, from what I understand, did just as much 'choosing' of Barack Hussein Obama as he did of her.
The one thing they did have in common was a genuine empathy for people and the lives they/we lead. And that 's a great thing to have in common. I just really think that FLOTUS ought to be allowed to just be MIchelle. and that we not search for comparison. She is truly a first, a one-of-a-kind. Michelle needn't be like anyone other than Michelle. I'm pretty sure she knows that. The question is, do we?
