Of Course. Michelle Obama Wins Woman of Year Award From Glamour Mag

Well if Barack can win a Men’s Health Award for “Top Fittest Male” (while smoking), a Grammy for spoken word, and a Nobel Peace Prize for nothing…
Then it’s only fair that Michelle takes home a prize or two as well.

Glamour Magazine features First Lady Michelle Obama on the cover of their Women of the Year issue that pays tribute to courageous and inspiring women who are changing the world.

We wouldn’t want Michelle to get upset now, would we?

Reuters reported, via Free Republic.

First Lady Michelle Obama has demonstrated a commitment to helping the next generation of girls expand their horizons and providing them with the information and inspiration to envision themselves as the leaders of tomorrow.

Glamour celebrates her for bringing the importance of mentoring to the national forefront with events that connect young girls from around the country with women leaders from business, government, sports, science, academia, the arts and philanthropy. Mrs. Obama enlisted women in the administration to mentor girls in the community.

Mrs. Obama was photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath for one of five celebratory Women of the Year covers. For the profile inside, she is pictured alongside seven White House East Wing interns. Mrs. Obama salutes the 11 inspiring Women of the Year winners who are also featured in Glamour’s special December issue, on newsstands November 10.

“I am delighted to join in celebrating the Glamour Women of the Year,” said Mrs. Obama. “The women honored in this issue are changing the world for young girls around the world by removing obstacles, opening doors, and reaching back and extending a hand to the next generation of women leaders. They are role models for us all.”

“In under a year, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of First Lady, throwing open the doors of the White House to families and to children,” says Cindi Leive, Glamour editor-in-chief. “That alone earns her icon status – but we were especially moved by her determination to show girls the power of believing in themselves and their dreams.”

Because, of course, Michelle Obama is the first First Lady to open the White House to children.

Probably both! Because people are capable of expressing more than one emotion over the course of their lives. Besides, judging someone’s emotions from a still photograph is a fool’s errand.

In the first photo, Michelle was only too aware of the camera. Unfortunately, not so in the second:

She was seated next to France’s First Lady and had directed her “stink eye” at her neighbor’s lovely, angelic face.

…by opting out of higher-paying work in the private sector for more rewarding (lower-paying) work in the helping sector.

Which would be tolerable if Mrs. Obama hadn’t been pulling down $317K/yr in a no-show makework job at Univ. of Chicago Hospital as quid-pro-quo for earmarks her then-Senator husband directed to said hospital.

No, but I think she’s quite attractive, certainly better than 90% of the posters who make fun of her here could do. Just curious, what do you look like, Hack?

It`s wrong to disparage an individual for their physical attributes. I`m disappointed that so many commenters on this site make these comments about Michelle Obama`s appearance. I fully understand that our outward appearance is often influenced by how we view life and our place in it, and possibly this is the case with Michelle Obama.

There is enough material for which Michelle Obama is due criticism, but to criticize her for her physical attributes is something I would expect of a leftist. It could very well be that these commenters are indeed leftist and have made these posts with the intent of discrediting Jim Hoft and Gateway Pundit.

I agree with Mark in Kansas that it is very wrong to attack Michelle Obama on the basis of her looks. We don’t get to choose what we look like (unless we can afford personal trainers and plastic surgery).

Leave lookist attacks for the Daily Kos and David Letterman (“Limbaugh is a tubby!” “Paula Jones has a big nose!” “Linda Tripp is a troll!” “Katherine Harris is a raccoon!!”).

The real point is that all newspapers and magazines should just issue the following press release:

“Barack and/or Michelle Obama are hereby declared the winner of every ‘ _________ of the Year’ Award for 2009 and beyond until futher notice.”

Gee, I thought this was supposed to be a religious-oriented site, with charitable people reading it. “Love thy neighbor?” Someone (or more than one) apparently didn’t get the message.

Of course, Michelle probably doesn’t look like your mother – or mine. But I have been very impressed with her family focus, her ability to articulate real family values that any Christian would be proud of, and her support of her husband (who incidentally, has a pretty difficult job!).

And, incidentally, I think she’s pretty attractive!

Writing letters of support for Planned Parenthood, financier to her husband’s campaign, claiming that partial birth abortion was invented by Republicans to smear supporters of “women’s health”…

I bet she’s proud of her country now–44% of it anyway.

Darwin Akbar commented:

Meg #39…I hope you don’t mean that I am somehow a troll for not wanting to attack Michelle Obama’s looks….

….and the term “lookist attacks” was culled directly from Ann Coulter’s “Slander” wherein she commented on the manner in which the left slanders people on the basis of their personal appearance. Two quotes from said book: ]

“There’s nothing so irredeemably cruel as an attack on a women for her looks. Attacking a female for being ugly is a hideous thing, always inherently vicious.”

and

“You will never appreciate the full savagery of the left until you get in their way. Wincing while others are attacked cannot compare. Imagine it is you, your wife, or your daughter they have set about to destroy. Then it won’t matter if the authors of the hate speech are hideous talentless wretches. You will hear the words calling you ugly and stupid and you will believe, if only fleetingly, that the whole world sees you this way. Tripp ended up getting two face lifts and liposuction. Paula Jones got braces and a nose job.”
“Both blamed themselves for the sadistic attacks on their looks. Linda Tripp later apologized to her country for her ugliness, telling People magazine: ‘I didn’t realize how ugly I was’ and ‘ I was horrified along with the rest of the nation really.’(62) Paula Jones also blamed herself for the malevolent attacks: ‘ I can laugh at myself, you know, I mean, I looked, you know, that way. And I look different now.’(63) Despite going under the knife to quell complaints about her looks, Time Magazine would not be mollified. The magazine sniffed that Jones was getting a nose job because she ‘apparently felt her affection for the camera was not sufficiently requited.’ In response to Jones explanation that she ‘was sick of being made fun of by cartoonists’ Time sarcastically snipped: ‘this should really help.’ (64)
