Honestly, it is hard to match the charisma of both Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Both men are passionate and down to earth. Both men have an X-factor. Michelle Obama is not far behind. She is a role model to people of all races, ages, and beliefs for many reasons.
1. She flawlessly demonstrates that a woman can be successful in both her family and professional life.
2. She is smart.
I mean, she graduated cum laude from Princeton and was the salutatorian at her high school. Oh, I think I am forgetting that she has a law degree from Harvard.
3. She is an inspiration to young girls around the world.
"If I worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute at your age, I wouldn't be married to the President of the United States today."
4. She is a great public speaker.
5. She is in touch with her health and fitness.
6. She has flawless fashion sense.
7. She always looks so put together.
8. Her relationship with her husband is literally adorable.
9. She's down to earth.
10. She has got the moves.
11. She is realistic, yet hopeful.
"There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made."
12. She embraces her identity unapologetically, and openly addresses race issues.
"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong."
13. She cares about the country's veterans and those who are currently serving in the military.
Michelle Obama and Jill Biden together brought forth the Joining Forces initiative, which helps those in the service with access to things such as employment and education.
14. She is a great mother.
15. She cares about healthy eating and is worried about the future of the country's youth.
"The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal."
16. One of her favorite foods is mac 'n' cheese, which gives her tremendous brownie points in my eyes.
17. She loves her dogs.
18. She can rap.
For those of you who are not aware, Michelle Obama released a hip hop album to promote a healthier America and fight obesity.
19. She is confident in whatever she does.
20. She is so elegant and inspiring.
"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am."
And we will forever miss her as our FLOTUS.
