No, I won't be buying Oprah's magazine.

she has shared it with her dogs before.

I stopped watching and buying into Oprahs empire 15 years ago.

WHy is this news btw, and not on another sugar site like Casa, or Giggle?

Yeah, I left the Oprah bandwagon a long time ago.

But everybody please take note that Oprah does not use her show, magazine, or fame as a political platform!

"Will you encourage Oprah to share more by picking up this issue?"
Kind of a weird question.
I'd buy the magazine to read more, not to encourage Oprah and I don't feel a need for regular updates.

I hardly ever buy this magazine...Im not sure I'd do it because she decided to share the cover this time.

I have to say that Michelle looks completely flawless on that cover!

I'm fascinated by Michelle Obama and might thumb through the issue. Not sure if you'd call that encouraging Oprah.

I've never bought O's magazine, so I doubt I'll be starting now.

Is she wearing clear plastic? Really?

TS, it does look like something you might buy at Claire's, but I think it kind of works!

Love her outfit. Again. Springy cover, nice.

Nah, I don't buy Oprah's magazines. But it's nice she's finally learned how to share!

Hate the belt, but her body looks amazing.

And whenever she speaks, I always get the feeling this woman will make a great politician someday...not that being first lady is not a political position anyways.

Does anyone else think that this is an absolutely terrible picture of Oprah? Also, I love Michelle Obama, but the praying hands are a bit much.

You're right KS, Oprah looks pretty awful and her dress looks uncomfortably tight.

I love that description of it being like post-wedding! I can completely understand.

Looks like a candid shot

Oprah looks short and awkward.

And next month I would bet the little bit of life savings I have left that Oprah will not be sharing her cover with Sarah Palin - but she should. This is one magazine I will not be buying. And to boot, I canceled my Vogue subscription after seeing that lady on the cover - not what I would call high fashion anything.

I don't really see a direct comparison between Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama except that they are both women, but I don't think Oprah would put Sarah Palin on the magazine cover.

Why would she put Palin on the cover?

Equal Time?

Well she could do it to back up her own "i'm not using my platform for politics" BS by at least giving equal time.

But its her magazine. She should do whatever she wants. Anyone who is getting their political info from her needs to get their head checked anyways.

Obama is not running for the office. He is now the President of the United States. This is an interview with the first lady. What about the article is political?

Lili, are you joking? She's the first lady, married to the president, it's inherently political.

Spring-y Easter colors.
Oprah needs a trip to the eye doctor. How else to explain her allowing that photo of her to go public?

Really?
I wouldn't have thought that if I read an article on Laura Bush encouraging kids to read in Good Housekeeping. Obama holds the office of U.S. president, Michelle's talking about living in the White House, the people's house. That's inherently American, not necessarily political.

#27 is to # 25: I'm not questioning Janneth's concern for Oprah's eyesight.

The first lady is a sort of ambassador to the American people from the president. Promoting her promotes the president.

Michelle Obama looks great. I think its wonderful that she wears clothing that I could see myself wearing and might be able to afford. I love what she's wearing on this cover. I have never bought O mag and probably won't, but I like seeing the First Lady on covers. Good role model in a lot of ways. I fail to see why on earth Oprah would consider putting Sarah Palin on her cover, she didn't win anything.

IF I was to buy this magazine (which I probably won't), it would be because of Michelle, not because of Oprah. Michelle should come out with her own magazine - sort of an academic, inspirational magazine geared at young women...just throwing it out there.

No and no. I don't care about Michelle and I could care even LESS about Oprah. Oprah is such a suck up to the Obamas, it's really tiresome.

I don't buy Oprah's magazine. Period. Michelle Obama on the cover does not make me want to buy it. At most I might pick it up at the bookstore and flip through it, but nope, not buying.

Look its two of the seven horses of the apocalypse on the cover of a magazine!

Until I read this article I was unaware that Oprah was the only person to appear on the cover of her magazine. Kinda narcissistic if you ask me (which you haven’t).

I think Oprah being on every cover of her mag reeks of narcissism. And her dress reminds me of June Cleaver. Where's the Beav???

Ha, GP. I didn't read your comment before posting mine. Great minds...
