Michelle Obama did not 'school' anyone. All she did was show grace and respect for the game.

A lessor person could have taken this opportunity to zing their opponent. To me, Michelle Obama showed up in London and focused on what is important - that the world has united to celebrate these games. She is a classy woman and I'm honored to have her as our First Lady.

Mitt showed up and tried to make it about him - how he is supposedly presidential and how he is a better choice to be president because he is better with foreign dignitaries (which was a massive fail). Michelle Obama showed up and made it about the athletes and the event. That's what someone who is schooled in foreign diplomacy does - show how we work well with others, not try to one-up someone else.

5. HEAR! HEAR! I too am honored that Michelle Obama is our First Lady and representing all Americans..

...in London.

I am embarrassed that Mitt the Twit is in London, but glad that he is representing only himself and his interests.

6. Absolutely true. And that is her (and Obama's) strength.

If you connect with people you don't have to say "Here I am! It's about me! Looklooklook!!"

It must be a very small world when you can't see past whether or not others are looking at you.

7. I'm pretty sure Brits will be coming here to campaign against "Borat"

probably plane loads heading here in September and October

9. Oh, come on. She can't be getting along that well with them. She's not Anglo-Saxon enough.

Romney's campaign says that's the true basis for diplomacy with Great Britain.
