The real Michelle Obama has arrived in the White House, so why not a wax version, too? Madame Tussauds of Washington, the legendary wax museum, will unveil a wax copy of the first lady in March and, as you can see by the photos below, her face is already being sculpted. It's no easy process to create these figures. The head can take five weeks alone and each strand of hair is inserted individually. Obama will be the third first lady on display at the museum following Jacqueline Kennedy and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. And the new piece will be posed next to wax Barack Obama in a replica of the Oval Office.

Check out more of the new Washington Whispers.

I, too, would like to see more of our First Family in church ~ worshiping and acknowledging God!

Thanks!

I WOULD LOVE IT SO MUCH IF WE COOULD GIVE OUR PRESIDENT A REAL CHANCE. WE ALLOWED A PRESIDENT IN OFFICE FOR 8 YEARS WHO DID NOTHING, BUT LIED AND GOT US INTO A WAR THAT I DO NOT SEE AN END TO YET. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY WHEN BUDGETS ARE CUT ITS THE POOR AND THE CHILDREN WHO ARE THE FIRST TO BLEED.

THIS PRESIDENT TRIED TO HELP THE COMPANIES LIKE AIG AND AIG TRIED TO CHEAT US AGAIN! THANK GOD HE WAS ALL OF THE PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT AND FOUGHT RIGHT BACK TO LET THEM KNOW NOT THIS TIME! WE ALL NEED TO BE BEHIND THIS MAN WE NEED TO FIGHT WITH HIM, AND FOR HIM, NOT AGAINST HIM

.

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME WE HAD A PRESIDENT COME OUT THE DOOR FIGHTING FOR US ALL. I DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR HE IS OR THAT HE DOESN'T BELONG TO THE GOOD OLE BOYS CLUB. THEIR TIME IS UP IT IS TIME FOR THE YOUNGER PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THIS FAMILY AND THEIR VALUES HARD.

YOU GUYS WANT A ROLE MODEL. HE IS NOT A SUPER STAR OR A SPORTS SUPER STAR BUT IN THE EYES OF OUR YOUNG HE SHOULD BE.SO, LET'S STOP BEING NAY SAYORS HE HAS ONLY BEEN IN OFFICE A LITTLE OVER 3 MONTHS.

HE SAID IF WE WORK TOGETHER IT WILL NOT BE EASY AND WILL TAKE A LONG TIME BUT AS A COUNTRY TOGETHER WE WILL COME OUT OF THIS HARD TIME AND BE THE LEADER AGAIN AS A COUNTRY. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD TO BE A BLACK AMERICAN, NOW I AM JUST PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. GOB BLESS US ALL!
