Oprah Says No One's "More Suited" Than Michelle Obama

March 6, 2009

For the first time in her magazine's nine-year history, Oprah is sharing the April issue cover with First Lady Michelle Obama. We got a sneak peek at Michelle's interview this morning, but on this afternoon's show, Oprah shared her side of "one of her favorite interviews ever," saying:

I don't think that there's anybody that I've ever heard of, read about, or could imagine more suited for the role of first lady than Michelle Obama.

How much of it is hero worship and how much is business - who or what else could Oprah use to draw attention from the economy & her viewers' own financial problems?

jann- I would LOVE to see those two women go at it! I think Michelle would win. She seems more scrappy. :)

yes, each week they get together to nod in agreement about how wonderful the obamas are. you'd find a just as intellectually stimulating conversation in a HS girl's locker room. those friday shows make The View look like Hardball.

Janneth Oprah has a new format for Fridays. Each week Mark Consuelos, Gayle,Alexandra Wentworth (George Stephanopoulos' wife), and Oprah talk about current topics. Tyler Perry was on yesteday. They talked about the oscars one week. Steve Harvey was on last week to talk his new book.

Somebody told me two weeks ago that O and Michelle were in a big feud. Guess not.

Maybe I haven't seen the O show in a long time, but is this a new format? Seriously, at first I thought O was on The View.

I think it was interesting when she said that the playground equipment isn't just for the Obama daughters, but it is for all of the kids of visitors and staff. I think that is a wonderful gesture.
