Before she became our First Lady, Hello Beautiful got  an exclusive interview, with  Michelle Obama to give us the scoop on marriage and family, beauty and motherhood, and the importance of each individual voice during the 2008 Presidential election.

Here’s just a preview of things Michelle had to say…

On keeping it simple:

“In my purse, you’ll always find…”

On her likeness to our favorite TV mom:

“You know, being compared to American icons like Claire Huxtable is flattering of course, but let me tell you…”

On doing it all:

“Like many women across the country, I play so many roles…”

On making a change:

“I realized that I had to do my part to ensure that someone like Barack would be president. Because he is the person who can lead us to [a] better future. I believe that with all my heart.”

On family values:

“To me, policies that support families aren’t just political; they’re personal. They’re the issues I carry in my heart every single day.”

    To see the beauty and elegance of our race represented in the highest office in the land will be no mean feat. I applaud Mrs. Obama’s courage and dedication not only to her husband and daughters, but to people everywhere across this great nation – especially our youth, who are our future. Many fought and died to enable us to take such great strides in this country. Like Michelle Obama, I urge all to excersise that right, regardless of your affiliations. Warmest regards to The Obama’s.

    Hi! Mr.& Mrs. Obama may God Bless ya’ll and those beautiful girls. But what Im about to say is my opinion from my heart and I may be wrong but I gonna say any way: I truly feel that God has put everybody on this earth for a good reason. And I know its not to do all this bad things thats been done and he’s tried of it. So that why he has choosen some good down to earth people like ya’ll to make a change (A Godly Family) Because he want his world back from the devils we are the only country being greedy.So Barack and Michelle “LET IT DO WHAT IT DO”… Cause is God is on the sceen.

    michelle, i want you to know that before my wife died, she saw barrack in a firey speech and asked that we keep an eye on him politically. and she saw the same vision for the williams sisters.

    now that i am a single dad to my teenage daughter, i insist that she research you and adopt you as her hero. she wants to be the family’s first doctor, and her gpa reflects that she will make it. and with our new president’s educational policies, i don’t have to worry about her education. and besides, daddy got her back at all costs.

    i will do all that i can to make sure barrack wins.god bless you and your family.

    Congratulations on a marvelous campaign and an Historical achievment, that is slowly restoring hope and faith globely in America and it’s people. But how far are Black Americans truly from receiving their reperations for slavery? On this day we can definatively say we’ve achieved equality ad respect for our century long contributions.

    I TILT MY HAT TO MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS , BECAUSE WE ALL CAME TOGETHER WITH MAKING THIS CHANGE.
    WE MADE HISTORY YALL, WE CONQUERED SOMETHING THAT OTHERS SAID WE AS A PEOPLE WOULD NEVER CONQUER.
    THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WE WERE ALWAYS TO IGNORANT AND DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH EDUCATION TO THINK ABOUT OUR FUTURE.THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD JUST SETTLE FOR WHAT EVER CAME OUR WAY. BUT WE PROVED THEM WRONG ONCE AGAIN. SO MY WORDS TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA THANKS FOR CARING ENOUGH ABOUT OUR NATION TO BRING ABOUT THIS POWERFUL CHANGE IN FAMILIES ALL ACROSS AMERICA…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DRBE/ DRBE

    I wish so many other black families were like the Obamas’. I look at them as an example. They have family values, and stick to them. I would like to believe with my two girls and their father, that we can be like that. Some of these men need to flip the channel and watch how President Barack is leading our country but first his family.

    To the Obama family i thank god for you all making history because we did need a change for the country. From my family to yours keep up the good work.
