DFO: My Repub friends are going to flip. But I consider Michelle Obama to be diplomatic gold. She’s charming the socks off world leaders. And that’s wonderful after this country took such a hit in foreign relations during the Bush years. Anyone who can cause the queen of England to drop protocol deserves a shout out. I can’t wait for Marmitetoasty to weigh in on this.

Question: What about you? Are you warming to Michelle Obama?
