First Lady, Michelle Obama is one of People Magazine’s 2009 “100 most beautiful people.” President Barack Obama has his own category, “Barack’s Beauties,” which includes Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. See photos and a video below.

In fact, it seems America is flush with beauties in the White House. Insiders among People’s “Barack’s Beauties” are Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, Sam Kass White House Chef, Speechwriter Jon Favreau and Personal Aide Reggie Love.
The First Lady and the President have both made fashion news in Washington, D.C. and around the world, so it not suprising to find them among People’s prestigeous lists. President Obama has been “ooooed” and “ahhhhed” over in both tux and bathing suit. Michelle has bared her arms in appearances with Queen Elizabeth, and worn tights and a tunic prepping the ground for a White House vegetable garden. She routinely wears a double-strand of pearls and is often compared to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She is daring enough to wear large floral prints, on her large frame, and women everywhere want her toned arms.
With only one-hundred days in the White House just trumpeted, a book on Mrs. Obama’s fashion style will be released on May 5th: “Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion.” The book offers fashion advice directly from Michelle Obama, such as tone down orange (which the First Lady loves) with navy, gray or turquoise. She likes soft fingernail polish but “pops” the color on her toes.
Michelle reportedly told People Magazine that her father and brother thought she was beautiful and “they made me feel that way every single day.”
Christina Applegate is the cover photo for the 100 Most Beautiful People issue. Ms. Applegate, 37, the star of television’s “Samantha Who?,” was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has had double-mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries.
Others on People’s “100 Most Beautiful” list are the usual: Mr. and Mrs. Brad Pitt (Angelina Jolie and Brad), Halle Berry, and, of course, George Clooney. Find more about “Barack’s Beauties,” Michelle Obama, view the entire “100″ list and see photos here.

Obligatory gratuitous bullsh*t

Is there a painting of her as St. Mary yet? The picture can be placed at the feet of the Obamessiah picture featured in a lower post….

Yeah I always turn to People magazine for my political perspectives.
Actually I’m just surprised lisab hasn’t shown up with a link to the Westminster Kennel Club or something.

Michelle Obama really made the most beautiful list? There’s nothing beautiful about a Chicago hoodrat.
America’s standards for personal appearance and beauty are really slipping.
April 30th, 2009 at 11:00 am
The standards for beauty in this magazine are so low, that the Boogeyman ranked #87.

Lets see, who should I pick ?…Megan Good, Tyra Banks, Alicia Keys, Halle berry, Lisa Bonet…
Nah, gimme the one with the huge a$$ that filed down her fangs.

As a personal preferance my taste in women has always veered towards anything but white women.
Maybe I’m a guilty white conservative, who knows, who cares ? Maybe being raised in Hawaii has something to do with it. I was raised here til I was 16 and finally started traveling only be terribly disappointed with what I saw out there and will bet hands down the most beautiful women in the world live right here and they are not white. Once
With that I can confidently say that Michelle is not a pretty black woman. If Obama finds her beautiful thats fine, thats the way it should be.
By general standards theres no way she cuts the cake.
This is just the media in its typical over glorification of anything and everything about the Obamas.
I wouldnt be surprised if Michelle does turn out to be one the more “contributing” first ladies in our history but that contribution is most definately not going to be her looks.
Malia is shaping up to be a nice looking young lady

People is for people that only care about the surface. They can not get into anything past looks and how much they think someone cares.
I would have thought she would have been in the news everyday since she is not only the most beautiful First Lady, she is also the smartest. (Smarter the Hillary? Say it ain’t so.)

Hmmm….Is it possible that most of American society and especially the media is shallow, selfish and superficial?
April 30th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Woof woof. Her face looks like she has been chasing parked cars.

Michelle Obama is a nice looking woman . . . now. She got that way only after a lot of work on her looks the past couple years. She needed a lot of help with her clothing choices, too. All that work – and now she is “nice” looking – when she’s made up. But I would never describe her as beautiful. Nope. No way. The only reason she made the list is because she’s married to Obama, and the press adores anything associated with him.

Shes a strong Black women and of course spinless men would have a problem with her

@lisab: Haha, hey take a look at my comment #3. Man, am I good.
May 1st, 2009 at 8:53 am
So…what is beauty? What does it mean to be beautiful? What does it really mean? Is it truth, like the poet said? Is it a question mark? Perhaps beauty is not only truth, but perhaps, what is not known? Perhaps beauty is in the imagination, always? A personal thing? If so, then how can anyone set themselves up as having the final say as to what is truly beautiful?
Ergo, “People Magazine” sucks.

@arch: Oh I thought you heard. The media has long been the sole arbiter of beauty.
