There are very few public figures (women!) like her. To me, it's this part of Mr. Obama's farewell speech that encapsulates that very quality perfectly: "<b></b><i><b></b></i><b><i></i></b><i>You took on a role you didn't ask for and you made it your own</i><b><i></i></b><i><b></b></i><b></b>, with grace and with grit and with style and good humour. <b>You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody</b>." I could see and feel that from the other side of the world.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mrs-o-ill-miss-you-so#post-1768572 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:38:13 +0000 Janet 1768572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that yesterday, Laurie, and loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mrs-o-ill-miss-you-so#post-1768564 Fri, 13 Jan 2017 19:11:00 +0000 Isabel 1768564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>laurie, I just watched it.

She is beautiful, unbelievably intelligent and eloquent, and is kind to all she meets. As an American woman in my seventh decade of life, I can honestly say that I don't believe we deserved her. I wish her the very best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mrs-o-ill-miss-you-so#post-1766715 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 22:53:48 +0000 RobinF 1766715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree!

She was (and still is, and will remain!) a fantastic role model, a compassionate and brilliant example of everything that is great about the U.S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mrs-o-ill-miss-you-so#post-1766528 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 15:25:10 +0000 Ornella 1766528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This forum is about style as well as strong women, which gives me non-political grounds to mention the person I'll miss seeing in the media regularly. I'm not American and do not live in the US, so I haven't been directly exposed to or affected by her daily or overall influence in the domestic matters, but I have followed and admired this very special woman with great interest over the past 8 years.<br />&nbsp;<br />I love this interview made with Michelle Obama (check Oprah quoting Maya Angelou at the very end).</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/LCmwkjSzr2g?t=2525">https://youtu.be/LCmwkjSzr2g?t=2525</a></p> <p>I'm sure there will be many analyses over the coming weeks about Mrs O's legacy, but as a foreigner I have found that she had made America more than proud. Her charisma, dignity and pride, her integrity and sense of self, her clear and strong identities as a woman, mother, wife and as a separate political figure; and yes, her sense of style which had never overshadowed her personality -- in short, her presence and purpose were absolutely admirable. Fantastic role model for so many people and hopefully for years to come. </p>
