Class is being proud to call yourself "Mom In-Chief"

Class is taking the fact that you are now a role model to the entire country with grace and charm.

Class is throwing yourself into a role so completely that your probably would never have imagined yourself in in your wildest dreams.

Class is being unafraid to offer a hug to a virtual stranger and letting them cry on your shoulder during a commercial break and then not railing against that person when they disrespect you at a fundraiser for your opponent.

Class is going to local schools in DC and visiting students hoping to inspire them to do something great with their lives, and taking a few famous friends with you.

Mrs. Obama told them she always worked really hard and that they should, too. "I wanted an A ... I wanted to be smart, I wanted to be the person who had the right answer," said Mrs. Obama, a lawyer and former hospital executive in Chicago. "I ran into people in my life who told me, 'You can't do it, you're not as smart as that person.' And that never stopped me. That always made me push harder, because I was like, 'I'm going to prove you wrong.'" She encouraged the students to pursue a college education because of the doors it will open. There's no need for them to know what they want to be before they get to college, she said, emphasizing that the goal is simply to get there and that it begins with hard work. Some of the students have already been accepted to college. "College is being able to get up and discipline yourself and get help when you need it and to work hard and not give up," Mrs. Obama said. "Those are like basic concepts that carry you through life." It's what she's trying to teach Malia and Sasha, she said. "They have to get up, set their alarms, get their own breakfasts, make up their beds and put on their clothes and get to school on time," Mrs. Obama said. Malia

, 10, had to leave the White House by 6:30 a.m. Thursday and woke herself up 45 minutes earlier to do it, the first lady said.











Class is taking time to help feed the homeless with a genuine smile on your face.

Class is talking to everyone with respect no matter their class, race, or age.

Class is being able to dress appropriately for your age, and find really cute clothes on a budget.

Class is talking the talk and walking the walk.

Michelle Obama is a lot of things, mother, daughter, wife, lawyer, First Lady of the United States of America-- but she is NOT trash.



To even have the audacity and LACK of class to come out and say that she is trash in front of a large audience with such malice and ignorance says a hell of a lot more about YOU than it does about Michelle. I thought we'd gotten past the point where ignorant people who may not like her husband's policies, or the fact that he is currently our President would attack Michelle for no reason. Here is a diary I wrote in June 2008 about Michelle and how awesome she is, as I'm sure most of you know, I don't like it when people mess with Michelle, especially when it comes out of nowhere and is completely unwarranted. I understand it's all about being "controversial" on the Right, and the more offensive you can be the better, I guess I shouldn't expect any less from them.

So yeah, stay classy GOP.
