Two other First Ladies - one from Italy, but don't remember where the other is from.

Got this pic in an e-mail showing a comparison in "First Hineys". Two HAWT ones compared to our "First Hiney". (Too much fried chicken maybe?)

Think I still have it on my 'puter at home. Will post it tonight if I don't forget.

The Obamas would probably not be embarrassed to say that they shop at Walmart. When they were interviewed by Access Hollywood in early 2008, Michelle wore a $30 dress and Barack wore pants that were 10 years old. The Obamas often talk about how the fact that they came from poor to middle class families helps them understand the needs of most ordinary Americans and the need to be thrifty. That probably helps keep them from wanting destroy the power of unions to bargain for middle-class incomes for working families, while not wanting to waste money on starting unnecessary wars or giving extra tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% of Americans, who control 42% of financial wealth in the US. and can afford to buy Christian Louboutin shoes.

"Like, this is a 30 dollar dress," said Michelle Obama in a July 4 interview. "I'm happy to know that. Give me skin for that."
Then, there was that appearance on The View:
"I got this dress at a store that's all black and white stuff," said Michelle Obama.
The dress sold out almost immediately as women all over the country tried to imitate her, being fashionable on a budget.
"She understands the current economic situation," said Tina Hayden, owner of "Designer Resale consignment shop. "She's in touch with the American woman in doing so, and that really sends a very strong message."
....
Obama rose from a blue collar background to become an Ivy League lawyer.
