:Y: Because Michelle Obama is human.

[annyong]

Is this a trick question?

[melindafelinda]

How is this a question?

[scotty]

MO -- beliefs are more aligned, and I like her husband. I actually like Ann Romney, too.

[Deleted]

I wanted to bring the board together. LOL.

[loveday]

I was just coming in here to ask "Who friended AR?" LMAO

[Deleted]

Can I pick neither?

Because I'm not in the mood to look at $800 bird shirts or ugly ass Lanvin sneakers. And I can't decide between being judged for not being a rich, white lady who plans competitive vacations or being judged for not eating organic produce from the community gardens.

I'd be Michelle's friend and hope she let me borrow her shoes.

Nope. You must choose.

[Deleted]

I'm probably going to have to choose to be the pity friend to the rich heifer with money to burn. Because I'm shallow like that.

And maybe I like bird shirts.

I'm sorry, I started twitching at the last part.

[broc]

I don't think I could be BFFs with either of them, just because they both seem like super, super active type As. If I had any sort of interest in physical activity I'd pick Michelle, because she'd be an awesome running partner (I'm guessing? is that even a thing?) but most of my hobbies are done literally sitting on my ass.

[Deleted]

You don't have to be best friends.

Just regular friends.

[Deleted]

Regular friends are even more judgy than best friends.

Do either of them sew?

Ann seems like she'd pay for lunch at some really nice places.

[mamasaurus]

To me, this is like asking if I'd rather eat cookies all night or get crotch-punched for an hour.

I think Mrs. 'Bama and I would have so much to talk about and would end up swapping recipes for things you can make with heirloom tomatoes. On the other hand, I think one afternoon with Ann Romney would see me ripping off my own arm so I could beat her with it.

[Deleted]

Michelle Obama. I have no opinion over Ann Romney because I know absolutely nothing about her.

[sonrisa]

I can imagine knowing Michelle (as a classmate, colleague, neighbor or friend). I also think highly of her.

I can't picture what a life that included Ann Romney would look like for me. Not that I think she is unpleasant but I feel like we'd have nothing in common.

You don't think Michelle would treat you to good lunches?

The Obamas are known to be great eaters.

But I'd be surprised if Michelle sewed.

[underwaterrhymes]

After hearing the stories I've heard about Ann Romney from someone who has met her on several occasions, there is absolutely no question that my answer is Michelle Obama.

no way. she has so much money, she's like those rich people who forget everyone else isn't rich. she'd be sallying on to go look at some hermes scarves that caught her eye next door and forget to pay because it's all just monopoly money.

[wannabe]

dude, hands down michelle. plus, she likes pink! whee!

Healthy, locally sourced lunches that involve quinoa and cruelty free chicken.

I want steak and shrimp and shit.

I am shallow. It's true.

95% of the board are Dems. I don't think the results are a big surprise.

And 30% are lawyers. And 99% aren't multimillionaires, so it's easier to relate to someone whose hobby isn't owning an olympic dressage horse.

[Deleted]

In my mind, Ann pays for dinner and doesn't care what you order. Michelle hopes you'll pick the salad because she knows where it was grown and school kids are fat these days.

Don't get me wrong. I looooooooove the Let's Move initiative. I just don't want hear about it when I'm stuffing my gullet with butter laden food.

[LLL]

I'd pick MO because I feel as though I "know" her more. I don't necessarily think either would make a bad friend though

No, no, no, habbs!

The Obamas are serious foodie folks.

They go to the most awesome restaurants.

Trust. I would not lead you astray when it comes to food.

[Deleted]

YOU ALREADY VOTED FOR ANN, DIDN'T YOU?

[Deleted]

I'm afraid most of my leisure activities aren't sanctioned by the secret service. So I wouldn't really want either around. I picked Mrs. Obama, but more in that "woman in the class that everyone admires but no one is really friends with because does she do frivolous things like have friends?" (Sonrisa~ I bet you know which daughter of a federal judge I have mentally categorized her with).

I obviously couldn't be friends with Ann Romney though. Religious people weird me out. And she'd be jealous because my plastic surgeon is better with botox than hers is.
