Michelle Obama: 49 Reasons We Love The First Lady, On Her 49th Birthday

Michelle Obama is highly educated, smart as hell, and by many accounts as warm and gracious as she seems. She was her husband's mentor, and she seems to have a marriage where both equality and love are a given. She works tirelessly for her causes, inspiring young women and reading stories to kids along the way. She also hula hoops and does the Dougie. In short, she's everything we want to be at 49.

6. She had her family vet Barack before she would agree to go on a date with him. Because her father had always told her you could tell a lot about someone's character by their behavior on a basketball court, she had her brother Craig shoot hoops with Barack. According to Slate, Craig gave Barack a good report, and the future President started dating Michelle.

7. She hugged the Queen. Even though it is apparently against royal protocol, Michelle hugged Queen Elizabeth during the G-20 reception in 2009. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told the Huffington Post, "It was a mutual and spontaneous display of affection. We don't issue instructions on not touching the queen."

22. She keeps Barack in check. Michelle offered her husband some tender advice just before he went onstage to give the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention: "Just don't screw it up, buddy."
