Michelle Obama Knows How to Dougie
The First Lady danced along with D.C. middle-schoolers yesterday to Beyoncé's Let's Move! Flash Workout version of the song "Move Your Body," and she is … the greatest woman ever made? The greatest woman ever made. She can also do the Running Man. I think — I think — this is the foundation of their 2012 campaign.

Ohhh she's so great. What a wonderful first lady.
When she busted into the running man my heart skipped a beat. OKAY NOW DO THE ELECTRIC SLIDE NEXT!
Coolest First Lady since Dolly Madison.
I love that she cracked up after busting out the Running Man. If she can go viral doing the Cabbage Patch, they've got 2012 in the bag. I'm telling you.
They should get Beyonce to do this live, with a thousand school kids and the crowd, at the Demo convention. In the bag indeed.
@spiralbetty Have you ever considered a career as a campaign advisor?
@Jolie Kerr "Don't just stand there on the flooooor!"
@spiralbetty Duh, lyric understanding fail. Anyway…
So you're saying the first lady wasn't so much born in the united states as she was "made," hmmmm? If you'll excuse me, I have a few calls to make
Is that her workout outfit? Giving Bey a run for her money.
@julia Seriously best shirt/belt/bracelets combo ever seen.
@k not K Right? Someone who is better at online shopping than me (ahem, Jane Feltes?) can we get a link to that top?
@julia I like to imagine that Mrs. O and Bey are secret best friends and have, like, TV night at the White House where they drink wine.
@Barbara Gordon I like to imagine my invitation is in the mail.
Do you think Barack would mind if I proposed? He'd probably mind. Yeah, I'll just… ok.
Okay I cried. Also I really like her shoes.
This is like the spiritual successor to the royal wedding post
I want to be HER when I grow up.
That ensemble is fucking FLAWLESS.
Michelle, teach me how to dougie!
I love her so much. She's so pretty and stylish and real.
Can you picture Cindy McCain doing this? No, you cannot. Good job, America.
I love the girl in the blue headband in the crowd. So cute!
@Cavendish I vote for first ladies, not presidents. Cindy never had a chance.
omg omg o m g, now this THIS this makes me "proud" of the US! The royal family doesn't dougie!
As all presidents do, Barack has (understandably) aged somewhat. Somehow, Michelle has reversed the aging process. She was even more smokin' than usual in the WHC Dinner footage!
That poor white lady had NO CHANCE of looking cool or graceful.
When I was in treatment I made a motivational poster that was just a picture of Michelle Obama with a word bubble saying, "You can do it!" She also is the background on my iPod, because when I fall in love with a lady I am tru 4evah
Oh Michelle…can I borrow that top and wear it while you teach me how to dance?
I LOVE her dance face.
I like the little boy in the background who keeps pretending to dance, but you can tell he really wants to get down with the First Lady without worrying about what his hater little friends think.
Is it cold in DC or is Michelle Obama just a superhero of some sort? Because me dancing in silk would result in a horrifying mess of embarrassing sweat stains.
@Tammy Pajamas It's been 80 degrees and humid in DC for the past week or so. The woman is a superhero.
@Tammy Pajamas Definitely superhero. I just pitted out a silk shirt yesterday walking 8 blocks home from the train station. And I wasn't Dougie-ing or Running Man-ing, either.
So…did anyone else have to google/youtube the dougie? Anyone? No?
Did anyone else notice that she's amazing and also her arms don't do that chicken wing flap at all?!
You rule Michelle Obama. I would totally join your communist weight loss program if I were a kid again.
According to HuffPo: "P.S. Michelle is wearing a Zero + Maria Cornejo silk neon top"
