I know I'm one of only 5 people that watch The Wire, but Michelle Obama is a dead ringer for Brianna Barksdale

I had to look her up. I don't see the resemblance.

if you did google search that's not the best picture to compare - the actress was also Angela Blake on the West Wing

I really want to like the Wire, since it's supposedly the great American novel in a TV show and everything. I hear it gets great around the 3rd season. But I couldn't really make it through the first four episodes of the first season... I took it off my Netflix queue...

I keep telling peeps - you gotta get past the first episodes, it doesn't hit its stride until later and then its so great

But it seems like so many hours of my life to waste!

So I've decided that some day if I get surgery or something and have a long recovery, I'm going to stick with the Wire and finally watch em.

fair enough alex - all I'll say is that I haven't loved a TV show so much in quite some time, but it is a slow burn

You've aroused my curiosity. I can't remember the last TV drama series that kept me coming back for more. Most of them seem so formulaic.

Do it steve - just try and get to the part where Omar turns up and the wire gets activated. Totally not formulaic!

Alright.

I like her a LOT.

I can see how both of them get along so well. She comes across as very authentic and down to earth.

Michelle Obama Takes to the Trail

CHICAGO — There is no confusing Michelle Obama for her husband on the campaign trail.

Asked at the Democratic debate in Los Angeles whether he would pick Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as a vice-presidential running mate, Senator Barack Obama said she “would be on anybody’s short list.”

But when a television interviewer asked Mrs. Obama last week whether she would support Mrs. Clinton, if she won the nomination, Mrs. Obama was less generous.

“I’d have to think about that,” Mrs. Obama said on “Good Morning America” on ABC. “I’d have to think about — policies, her approach, her tone.”

Outspoken, strong-willed, funny, gutsy and sometimes sarcastic, Michelle Obama is playing a pivotal role in her husband’s campaign as it builds on a series of successes, including a sweep on Tuesday of contests in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Her personal style — forthright, comfortable in the trenches, and often more blunt than Mr. Obama — plays well with a broad swath of the electorate and has given the campaign a steelier edge while allowing Mr. Obama to stay largely above it all.

“I am trying to be as authentically me as I can be,” Mrs. Obama said in an interview. “My statements are coming from my experiences and my observations and my frustrations.”

Mrs. Obama says she dislikes politics — she insists there will be no second run for the presidency if her husband falls short this time — but relishes a good fight, the competition of it all.
