She looks active, I think she has influnce. She does not seem to be the kind to let things go without giving her point of view or advice.

To hell with percentages – wisdom does not stand on those and such speculations do not contribute to a cause! The fact is Obama is the President of the country and even I stand for him with my zero plus support of Infinite that carries all the percentages to zero – difficult for any body to understand this – only the time will tell – so let us all retire for the results without bothering – “who is saying this to whom”?

As a product of the Harvard Law School, her talent should be beyond any doubt. Moreover she appears to be quite an introvert who must have considerable potential for delibartion/advice.
The first lady has not, so far, flaunted her genius as the US tends to be fire-fighting all the time, thanks to the disasters contracted during last 8 years.
Wherever she has figured, the first lady’ conduct has been dignified and engaging. Good luck to her!

When the Ruler of Pakistan General Parvez Musharraf had accepted America’s past eight years of rule, the story finishes there and now we require to rebuild without the pointers on that through intellectualism; I at least do not believe in isms because they do not in any way stand to refresh where transcendence for a good overall cause stands to rebuild the collapsed structures whether of lands or of the intellect? I hope my friend would accept this out of the blues comment where I see him of his wisdom state in play in a good way for all. Love you my dear friend for your excellence in sincerity and loyalty

The First Lady is EXCELLENT in her encouraging PROTOCOL DUTIES and as a MOTHER of children going to school. JUST KEEP IT UP!! Of course behind an EXCELLENT PRESIDENT THERE IS A SMART MARVELLOUSLY INTELLIGENT LADY BEHIND TO HELP HIM.
-John C. Maxwell, once said,”People don’t Care how much you Know - until they Know how much you Care”
- Let the Almighty give you COURAGE, patience, gratitude, faith and power to stand up, look, follow and finalize important issues of WISDOM whenever call comes in. As First Lady, you MUST learn to listen, empathize, manage expectations, investigate, dialogue and say both-„yes” and „no.” After which present humble options to follow the final word.
-In the Almighty s eyes a MAN is the HEAD of the HOUSE.
-Stand Up!!… For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. “Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.. Therefore, as w e have opportunity, let us do good…” Galatians 6:9-10 .
- Look “I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
-Follow up: After the solution has been implemented, check back and make sure everything is going okay. You want to avoid secondary problems at all costs and this is a great way to prevent them. If you’re lucky, your “INTEGRITY” might even give you some credit for helping. the PEOPLE and the NATION as a whole.
-BE THE SMILING FINAL WORD of solutions: Your goal in all of this is to come up with the best solution possible given the circumstances, not to come up with a perfect solution. Problems happen, that’s part of life and people usually understand that. In the end, if the person on the other side can say “As bad as it was, I was happy that you were there to help,” you’ve done your job and done it well to the NATION and to the WORLD

This is a woman with a confident smile and firm steps. If she truly believs in, and is a child of God, then America has got a reliable woman at the White House who, for all you care to know, is, at this second and minute, not only praying for America and its success, but, also, asking God how to wisely advise her husband without getting in the way.

Mr. Obama is an intellectual. She knows the ethos of american administration, domestic and foreign. She is not a member of the administration’s think tank. Yes, she may have her person views on a number of issues but she is definitely not involved in shaping the policies of BARACK.

Even though Michelle does ‘not have the patience’ for politics, she’s a strong pillar behing her husband’s victory and it will be incorrect to say she is not playing commendable background roles that will ensure her husband’s success. Remember she used to ‘boss’ her husband when he was unkown!
Great Lady, wonderful husband!

Michelle Obama ab nitio is a strong-willedwoman. Her contributions and support for her husband Barrack was a sine qua non to his electoral success and his success so far on the presidential seat. She is a pillar of strength to her husband. She must overtly or covertly have input in the policy formulation of her spouse’s administration.
