Michelle Obama in Londontown

The Obamas have taken Europe by storm, but surely it is Mrs. Obama who is doing the inspiring. Yes, her husband earned the right to be President, but it is her ancestors who built this country on blood, sweat, toil and bondage. She earned the respect of the Queen in her own way and then she visited a school full of girls from ethnic backgrounds and from this video these girls were touched deeply.

Michelle Obama on the Colbert Report

This is great. Michelle Obama being first lady may be one of my favorite things about an Obama presidency.



Just a little taste of what you will get if you watch:

Colbert asking her why she would want to be first lady: "You'd never get any sleep because as I understand it the phone keeps ringing at 3am."

Maybe we'll get to meet her when we work in Philly this weekend? Can't hurt to dream can it?
