WASHINGTON - For the first time the U.S. First Lady has made Maxim magazine's annual top 100 list of "hottest women in the world," with Michelle Obama making the grade at number 93.



Billed as the "stimulus package America really needs," the British-based international magazine known for revealing pictorials of models and actresses showcases Obama in her tasteful official White House portrait.



In the rare accolade for a political spouse, the magazine notes that her husband President Barack Obama "may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly graying dome.



"But at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States."



Obama has been hailed as a style icon by fashionistas around the world since her husband was elected president.



Maxim's self-described "eyeball-searing, fantasy-fulfilling, brain-exploding" list has Obama topping "Top Chef" host and model Padma Lakshmi (95) and Oscar-winning "Wrestler" star Marisa Tomei (97).



The magazine, which has a monthly U.S. circulation of some 2.5 million and is distributed throughout the world, moved over last year's chart-topper "Transformers" star Megan Fox to give the number one spot to TV's "House" actress Olivia Wilde.

Mmmmmm....Sexy!!

[mnehring]

This one isn't bad..
Sexiest though.. heck no!

[King Moonracer]

Well...She looks better now than then. I suppose she is a zero now having married one. But those negative number years must have sucked...

[Lucky9teen]

From someone out of camera view "Hey Michelle, nice blouse....really excentuates the, uh.......your eyes."

[ReneeLynn]

And they don’t think Jackie Kennedy was good looking enough to come up to snuff with Michelle’s horrible taste in men and clothing?

Okay, I have to say it. Is it okay to say she’s the hottest because she’s black?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Notice the couple behind them? They appear to be giggling.

Maybe the fellow said something like "back-booty".

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Flashing gang signs?

[Mr Rogers]

She looks pretty good...which NFL team does she play for?

[4Speed]

Miss California is Sexier.

Let’s see Michelle in a Bikini.....which will end all Discussion......except those concerning “Junk in the Trunk”

She’s better than as a youngster but still scary. I think it’s those eyebrows but I could be wrong.

I think Vanessa Williams, Halle Berry and FNC’s Lauren Green easily qualify but not MO.

[blam]

This is beyond my ability to pretend.

[Ann Archy]

She looks the best in that off the should er blouse that is TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE for a First lady!

"But at least our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States."?

1. Michelle is not the ugliest woman ever to have lived, not while Helen Thomas is around, but she's so far from being one of the hottest one hundred (or one billion) women in the world that this is obviously a lame political gift or subtle satire.

2. There have been a very small number of First Ladies who could be called "hot", but most have been women with dignity who have chosen to look and act their age instead of trying to be something that is difficult or impossible for most women of that age.

... although Jackie was pretty cute.

She has a good trainer, cosmetician-aesthetician and a good dresser. Given that, we could all be ‘sexy.’

[Tzimisce]

I only buy from black designers. :)

[Nateman]

[Tarpon]

Mooooo

[ropin71]

The expression I think looks similar... LOL

[Travis T. OJustice]

Yeah, sexy like Barry Bonds in a dress.
