This is a very interesting question because I haven't given it any thought. She'd probably be remembered for her children & exercise initiative if anything

She is NOTHING like Jackie Kennedy. Hell she's nothing like Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush for that matter. All she'll be none for is sticking her nose in where it didn't belong...i.e. her school lunch thing.

She tried to do things her way. Jackie had more class in a strand of hair, than Michelle has in her whole body.

I was a Young Child during when Jackie was First Lady but she was a Beautiful, Classy Fashionista. Michelle Obama is that and more, More Educated, More Intelligent, More Physically Fit and More of a Social Activist. I Love Michelle.

She's nothing like Jackie Kennedy. I'll remember her as the very first US Treasury Issued Google (as in a very large number) Level platinum travel card (Bazinga). FYI: According to Judicial Watch the Obama family travel/vacations have cost the taxpayers well over 70 Million Dollars. On many occasions the President and First Lady have flown separate jets to the very same location on the very same day. As Tom Petty says "It's good to be King (or in this case Queen)".

All politics and aside and whether I agree with President Obama or not. The current First Lady most likely will be remembered for her nutrition campaign, and her unique Turnip video. Again all politics aside she was hip and very athletic in shape. Also Michelle Obama arms also has its own following.

(I am not the biggest fan of President Obama or his policies but I respect the office)

Mrs. Dollybama will be remembered for school lunches thrown in the waste can because the children hated them. I wonder if she is proud to be an American now?

Like others have said, her "Let's Move" campaign. While I'm not a huge fan of the office as a whole, no matter who the President is, the First Lady did try to combat one of the biggest challenges to military readiness: childhood obesity. When an increasing number of youth cannot join the Armed Forced due to being overweight, we in uniform should be interested.

As I said in response to another posting, her only legacy will be a legacy of shame for having such an inept husband. Eight years of wasted time while America went down the crapper!
