It’s official: Beyoncé is crazy in love with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Back in April, Beyoncé posted a handwritten letter to the First Lady on her Tumblr, writing that the First Lady “is the ULTIMATE example of a strong African-American woman.” At the time, Obama responded on Twitter, writing, “Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to.”
This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has aligned herself with the Obamas. Last year, she helped kick off the First Lady’s “Let’s Move” initiative by (of course) dancing in a new music video.
Now — presumably with some prompting from Team Obama (as evidenced by the donation link at the end of the clip) — Beyoncé is reading the heartfelt letter on video. She says she wrote the note because she wanted Obama to know “I’m very grateful for everything she is doing for our country” and “Every time I see her she inspires me.”
She even brought up Blue Ivy! Beyoncé ends by saying, “I’m so proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to.” All together now: Aww…. from:popwatch.ew.com

They are both just amazing, beautiful examples of women aren’t they?!? I’ve never seen a president on the KissCam in my entire life! I can’t help but LOVE the first family!!! They are a true example of every day people with major responsibilites but do it with such grace and beauty.

Good for Beyonce (God forbid, but if Beyonce ever needed a biopsy, would it be a Beyonce Biopsy or a biopsy for Beyonce!). “I’ve written a letter to Michelle Obama–It’s the letter “B”, guess what the letter stands for?”
I’ve written a little ditty for Beyonce in honor of her writing a letter to Michelle Obama! Here it goes! (everybody follow the bouncing cursor on your computer!)
I’M GOING TO SIT WRITE DOWN AND WRITE MICHELLE OBAMA
A LETTER
(Rewritten to “I’m Going to Sit Write Down and Write Myself a Letter)
Written by RainbowRay
Hey guess what people! (Intro!)
I’m going to sit write down and write Michelle Obama a letter
And thank her for the great work she’s done
Her role modelling for those kids
Even though they’ll make her flip her lid
Her contributions big and small have inspired me (Beyonce)
To say “well done y’all”
I’m so glad to have a daughter who has someone
To look up too
So when my darling Blue Ivy is all grown up
She can pass on what she learned from you
And pass it on to her kids too
So I’m sitting down and writing this letter to say–THANK YOUUUU!
LOVE
RainbowRay
