to have a little tiny cry every time Michelle Obama crops up?

[SpringHeeledJack]

...two reasons:

1. that speech she gave last time she was here, to a girls school (?) in south (north?) London

1. her cuddling the Queen, and the Queen cuddling her back

IKWYM.

and the way she got excited about meeting the queen, and the way she smiles.

She comes across as very likeable, doesn't she

Not twee, not smug, not saccharine, just likeable

I like her

I don't even like the queen

...well, I didn't. Till she cuddled Michelle Obama

god, i love Michelle (and Barack) Obama soooo much. I think they are the most charismatic couple on earth. I want her to be my friend!!!

really? the Queen cddled her?
are there pictures???

because she is so nice i feel guilty about the way i feel towards her husband, it just seems a little wrong my thoughts what i want to do with her husband

i agree i think everyone has fallen in love with them both i know i have

I adore the queen and I adore Michelle Obama.

Sigh. I would love to cuddle them both!

It was Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in north London.

I totally adore Michelle Obama - she is utterly iconic, beautiful in her own, unique way and seems completely normal too, if that's possible.

it is weird to cry though

I love them too

jeez, nutters thread alert

Sorry, but I don't get it?? I watched his speech last night, addressing the Irish crowd and I cringed......

She comes across as a lovely, genuine person! And she is so, so beautiful - even came across a web photo of her caught without make-up and she still looks stunning.

I get a bit tearful when I see her meeting someone and they clearly adore her. She is an amazing woman IMO - did anyone else read the 'Love Letter to Michelle' in The Grauniad this week?

conversation with dp earlier, reading the paper

me: ooh, I wonder if Michelle Obama will visit ds's [inner London] school? she did one last time, after all

dp: hmmm

[pause]

dp:...are you crying?

me: a bit

Yup, you're all mad!

Yeah. She's really nice.

WTF?

I gift you this

eeeeeeeeeeeek!

I cry at a lot of less worthy things, I have to say. In the last month I have cried at, amongst others:

1. a Dutch theme park (everyone's so happy)

1. Plan B album [baffled]

1. A tiny bit of Lady Gaga concert tother night (dp asked me if I was crying. I said I had something in my eye)

Oh I love her too - total girl non-sexual crush - she's just so damn nice seeming.

She's a Princeton-educated lady who became a top lawyer and has a real career. Unlike someone who waited around for 10 years for someone to propose to them :o.

At 47, she looks terrific, not full of fillers, Botox and face-lifted to hell.

She has an athletic physique that doesn't look starved or lipo'd out.

She's got a mega watt smile.

She's married to Barack .

You lot need to get out more......I'm sure she's nice and all but crying???....weird......

YANBU! I'm not quite crying but I do love her. Did anyone see the picture of her and Barack coming out of a plane on the way here? (I think it was in the Evening Standard today and prob other places too.) He was looking at her as though he just adored her, and they've been together ages. They're a great couple.

Also just noticed expat's comment: Unlike someone who waited around for 10 years for someone to propose to them.

She does rather kick the new duchess into the long grass!
