Michelle Obama shares her 2011 birthday with Dr. Martin Luther King's holiday
Not only is today MLK Day, it’s also Michelle Obama’s birthday. The first lady got surprised (and was embarrassed) at a King Day celebration this morning, which she attended with the president and their kids. But indeed, today is also her day. So happy birthday to a personal role model, a true style icon, and a woman of whom I am an unabashed fan. Some of my favorite MOBama looks after the jump.

A great dress in a great color.

WTF Has Barack Obama Done So Far?
Beautiful pictures. She is gorgeous and so refined. Just a joy to have as our first lady. With all of the things on his plate I am so proud of President and Mrs Obama. Joy, you and I know that they are held to a higher standard and the bar has been set very high for them but I am so glad that the last two months were very good for him and the speech he gave was magnificent. I will always be in their corner because I can see the big picture. The media was relentless these last two years and I believe that they played up the divisions so well. Maybe he has disappointed a lot of liberals/progressives but they will never be happy. I don’t think I ever heard Republicans talk about President Bush the way liberals/progressives have bashed President Obama. Yes, I am a Dem and I will always vote Dem but I have to pull back because I was disappointed with all the criticism coming from the left. I am glad that the first two years were breakneck and I think the next two years will be full of more accomplishments. He has to work with Repubs because he doesnot want to spend the next two years fighting but trying to get things done for the country.
