Michelle Obama’s speech on behalf of the president last night was an unqualified success — it was moving, funny, inspiring and genuine. The Washington Post‘s camera captured many convention-goers applauding, nodding, and smiling along with the First Lady’s words.

I thought things were going well for first lady Michelle Obama, who has done a fine job guest editing iVillage this week, until I stumbled upon a Spanish magazine cover of her topless. The image in which she’s photoshopped is also of a former French slave.

Most young professionals gripe that there’s no time to exercise. There is, though. Just ask first lady Michelle Obama, who often rises at 4:30 a.m. to break a sweat.

Adorable: Obama’s First Kiss With Michelle Commemorated On Plaque
3:00 pm, August 19th | by Laura Donovan
President Barack Obama’s first ever kiss with wife Michelle sounds more like the first kiss between two teenagers at the beginning of their relationship. That makes the smooch story all the more adorable. What’s even better is that the story of the first couple’s very first peck has just been commemorated on a plaque outside a Chicago ice cream shop, where the spark-flying incident took place many years ago.
