Michelle Obama can add one more thing to her list of "firsts": next month she will be the first first lady to grace the cover of Glamor magazine. It's part of the fashion mag's annual "Women of the Year" edition, and Obama is being honored for her with a "Special Recognition" award for her work in mentoring younger women. Of course, no self-respecting women's mag would run a cover story without some mention of the central issue: boys. So what does the president's wife have to say on the matter? Good looks won't cut it. In a sneak peak of the interview (conducted by Katie Couric, who also makes her debut in the mag this month) just posted by Glamor's editor in chief, we get a glimpse of her thoughts on men: “Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are
you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the
heart. Look at the soul ... When you’re dating a man, you should always
feel good ... You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who
doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.”
Michelle seems to have lived by her words. She certainly didn't marry the president for his money. When things between them got serious, he was toiling away on a personal memoir that was virtually unknown for a decade and directing voter-registration drives for Project Vote. Looks like things worked out OK for her.
