The Obama Diary 
aaaannnnd how did that start? Did she hear about Michelle Obama’s legendary arms?
Yup. You know she wanted to see those legendary ‘guns’. lol
her arms are legendary and strong and everything….but look at those wrists! They’re so slim and beautiful. I always think that’s what makes her so damn elegant, her long arms and very slim forearms and hands.
She has the most beautiful hands: long and graceful fingers, beautiful skin, well-manicured nails…I’ve always admired her hands.
Pete Souza updated some pics on the WH’s website as well!
In case you haven’t seen them, enjoy!!

Major LOL StR! Where are those lazy bums? A real fight could have started and all :;) God bless the Secret Service.
So fun and lovely. Not many folks can compete with them on warmth and generosity.
After being out all day and missing the action first hand – this is a lovely greeting!
Katie Taylor better watch out because it might be her first knock out 😀 😉

LOL Sue!!! You said it not us!!! I was just thinking hmmmm it just seems the red states are getting too many of these natural disasters lately even as their governors and representatives deny climate change and denounce government and government “interference” because it’s “socialism”!!!
Then I hear cries of Obama has not come to visit us and extend government aid to us!!! Where is that big government I hate so much and why can’t I just pull myself out of these monstrous disasters all by my strong, proud self-reliant self!!!
Much blessings to you Sue!!! Shalom!!!

Again, welcome!
Welcome, Patricia! You won’t regret the discovery. You’re among some wonderful people, and Chipsticks is simply the best. 😀

Pull up a seat and take part in celebrating our great President. Pass the site info on, spread the good word, more people need to SEE and appreciate what we have right here, right now, at this moment in history with our 44th President!
Take care Sue and may God protect you and your family.

Thinking of you Sue, take care of yourself.
You are in my prayers Sue. Take care darling.
Oh Sue, a safe night is wished for you.
All the best Sue, hope it was a safe night.
Welcome Patricia! I remember when I discovered this site…..I was one happy girl and still am. One reason I like it is because I know what the President is going to be doing, and I can follow him. Another reason is the absolutely wonderful pictures Chipsticks has! Another reason is the wonderful comments and fun interchanges, and another reason is Chipsticks herself,and how she keeps us going, and keeps this site free of nasty trolls!
Welcome Patricia. Yes, we Irish have a lot of love to go around the world for sure. Patricia, you will enjoy our beautiful and loving community here. Chipsticks deserves the loving credit for providing such a loveable haven here for all of us.Enjoy.
Ditto. We love her much.
I love both President Obama and our FLOTUS but that is not a real pic.
Maritza, Why do you say it is not a real pic? Chips where did you find this pic? Was there any info along with the image?
I think it’s scanned from a newspaper or magazine. I don’t doubt Chips or her sources, only the best pics and facts on here.
Yes, I completely agree Titti and that is why I asked Chipsticks to name the source for Maritza.
Sorry M, I missed your question last night – what source are you looking for?
Ah, I see your question now – sorry! The photo was from the front page of the Irish Independent newspaper on Wednesday. The photo doesn’t appear on their site (well, I couldn’t see it anyway), but someone scanned it and posted it here:

We get tired of all the crap we hear everywhere else, so here we are supported of them 100%. And I thank Chipsticks and everyone else who keep this site going. It is a treasure. So welcome to the family.
From April 19, 2010:
“The 23-year-old has enjoyed a hectic few months recently even managing to fit in a trip to the White House to meet U.S. President Barack Obama.
The visit came about after the First Lady, Michelle Obama, a former boxer herself heard all about Katie’s incredible achievements over the past few years in becoming a 4 time European Champ and 2 time World Champ and invited her to Washington for the annual St. Patrick’s day celebrations at the White House.
“It was an honour to be invited to the White House and it was great to meet President Obama and the First Lady,” said Taylor. “She did a little bit of boxing when she was younger and like me she used to be trained by her Dad. It was a tremendous experience and I never dreamed that my boxing career would present me with opportunities like that.”
