    Michelle is an effortless anchor for women around the world. She exudes grace, vitality and most important, common sense. It is obvious that she is an intelligent human being, but most critical – "she gets it." Her world is not a bubble. She is a part of the world – the entire world. Thank you, Michelle – for illustrating what so many women from all continents have to offer society. Thank you.

    Michelle Obama is our #1 ambassador of gentility and poise.
    Add to that her intellect and we can't lose by having her accompany
    our President any place on earth! Her concerns and interests are
    those of all women, mothers and grandmothers world-wide.
