Happy Birthday, First Lady Michelle Obama
Credit: Win McNameeThere's no question that Michelle Obama is a First Lady with style. Check out some of her memorable ensembles.
Several days before her birthday - she turns 46 on January 17, 2010 - the First Lady bundled up for a brisk walk with the President in a black lace-patterned coat. The two traveled to Delaware to attend the funeral of Vice President Joe Biden's mother.

Woman Arrested By Secret Service for Threatening First Lady
By Alicia CruzTheblackurbantimes
The Secret Service has arrested a 35-year-old woman who threatened to "blow away" First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Kristy Lee Roshia was charged with threatening a family member of the President and assaulting a federal agent. She is being held without bail pending a detention hearing after her arrest less than two miles from the Kailua home where the Obama family was set to spend their Christmas vacation.
The assault charge came as a result of Roshia lunging at a Secret Service agent, striking him in the arms and face during her arrest.
The Secret Service Agency accuses Roshia of leaving "rambling messages" and sending "poems, love letters and photographs" of herself to the agency. They added that she also called the agency's Boston office last month telling a receptionist, "I will kill Michelle Obama" and "I will kill Marines."
Agents confronted Roshia on Saturday and after she told them she knew where President Obama and his wife would be staying during their visit to Hawaii, she was arrested.
As early as 2004, she told the agency that “although her mission is to assassinate the president, she has no desire to hurt him.”

First lady, Daughters Greet Their First White House Christmas Tree
WASHINGTON - The White House is open for Christmas. A day after celebrating Thanksgiving, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha received the official White House Christmas tree: an 18 1/2-foot Douglas fir delivered from a farm in Shepherdstown, W.Va., by traditional horse-drawn carriage.
Growers Eric and Gloria Sundback officially presented the tree to the Obamas on Friday.
It's the fourth time one of their trees has become the official White House tree.
"It's big enough for Sasha to climb in, I think," Sundback joked after the Obamas walked from the North Portico of the White House to the driveway where the tree was tied up and lying in the carriage, pulled up the driveway from Pennsylvania Avenue by a pair of Belgian draft horses with red Christmas bows tied to their tails. A sign affixed to the side of the carriage said "White House Christmas Tree 2009."
"We're excited," Mrs. Obama told the Sundbacks.
Asked by reporters whether the tree was the biggest she ever had, the first lady said: "Yeah, I think this wins."
The 12-foot-wide tree is destined for the oval-shaped Blue Room on the State Floor of the White House, where scores of volunteers will decorate it. The tree is the star attraction of Christmas at the White House, and will be oohed and aahed over by the thousands of people who will stream through in December for holiday parties and public tours of the executive mansion.
Oprah's coming to capture the magic
Much of this activity will be captured in a holiday special that brings together Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.
ABC announced that it will air "Christmas at the White House: An Oprah Primetime Special" on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 10 p.m. The show will feature an interview with President Obama, a conversation with the first couple and a tour of the White House. The special also will go behind the scenes as staffers prepare the White House for the holiday season.
The special marks the first time Winfrey has interviewed Obama since he took office. Winfrey, who had never before endorsed a presidential candidate, was a strong supporter of Obama during his presidential campaign, stumping for him in key states.
This year's official White House tree, which the Sundbacks planted in 1996, was hand-picked on Oct. 20 on a visit to the Sundback's farm by retired Rear Adm. Stephen Rochon, the White House chief usher, and Dale Haney, superintendent of the White House grounds.
A tradition started by Jacqueline Kennedy
It was cut down on Wednesday. Besides the official tree, more than a dozen smaller trees from the Sundback farm will decorate other rooms in the White House, including the Oval Office.
The Sundbacks, both in their 80s, earned the honor by winning the National Christmas Tree Association's national contest this year for the fourth time. A tree from the winner's farm is then chosen as the official White House tree, an annual tradition that dates to 1966.
Their trees were displayed twice when Ronald Reagan held office and once under Jimmy Carter.
The Sundbacks have grown Christmas trees since 1956 and were thrilled by the opportunity to meet their fourth first lady.

"Absolutely wonderful," Sundback told reporters after he and his wife emerged from the White House after some chit-chat with Mrs. Obama over hot apple cider and Christmas cookies. "Talk about a thrill," added Gloria Sundback.
Benjamin Harrison was the first president to put a Christmas tree inside the mansion in 1889, according to the White House. In 1961, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy put the official White House tree in the Blue Room so tourists could see it.
Next Thursday, the Obamas will flip a switch to light the National Christmas Tree, a living Colorado blue spruce located on the Ellipse, just south of the White House.

Get arms toned like First Lady Michelle Obama
Much has been said about our first lady’s fashion sense, but right now I’m in the throes of major arm-envy—hers are sculpted, strong, and not overly bulky. Nicely toned biceps and triceps are what I like to call the “show-off” muscles, because you see results so quickly, which is highly motivating.
Here are a few of my favorite tips, plus quick, easy moves to get you started. Do 8 to 10 repetitions of the first two moves, and as many of the third as you can do in 30 seconds. Complete the whole routine 3 or 4 times per week with a rest day between sessions.

From one O to another: Michelle and Oprah sit down for a tête-à-tête
Michelle Obama sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a White House interview featured on the March 2009 cover of O: The Oprah Magazine. The First Lady gave Oprah a personal tour of the grounds and opened up about the family's first days in their new home, likening the move to "a huge, very complicated wedding."
Oprah looks great as does Mrs. Obama. As a matter of fact, our first lady is the picture of femininty and the epitome of down-to-earth elegance and grace.

J.CREW'S WEBSITE CRASHES FOR OBAMA CLOTHING SEEKERS!
Seeking Obama Fashions, Visitors Crash J. Crew’s Web Site
By Claire Cain MillerSome inauguration viewers were fascinated by the historical tidbit that President Barack Obama took the oath of office on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible.Michelle Obama. (Credit: Jim Bourg/Reuters)Others were more interested in the J. Crew sage green leather gloves that Michelle Obama wore to hold the Bible for her husband — not to mention the pale pink and royal blue wool coats the Obamas’ daughters wore, also from J. Crew.Indeed, a lot of viewers apparently decided that they must own the gloves and coats themselves. In an interview with my colleague Liz Robbins at The Caucus blog, Jenna Lyons of J. Crew said, “It’s an incredible validation to have the First Family like what you’re doing.
