Useful at what, being an idiot?

(ABC News) — Move over, Oprah.  Michelle Obama might be taking over.

Opening up with relationship advice, how to choose a “good husband,” self-esteem, and the attractiveness of her husband, the First Lady held a casual chat with a group of women today, dripping in girl power.

The gab session happened with a group of high school students visiting Oxford University to receive a campus tour and speak with the First Lady about their goals, career and…well, life.

There were no car giveaways. No picks for book club. But there was an awful lot of advice, emotions, and “sharing secrets,” in the words of the First Lady herself, exchanged.

First – how to choose a husband. Girls, do not have a checklist, Mrs. Obama advised.

“There are a lot of women who have the boxes. Did he go to the right school? What is his income, you know?”

The First Lady said that for her “it was none of that” which led her to choose her husband to marry.

“It was how he felt about his mother. The love he felt for his mother. His relationship to women. His work ethic,” Mrs. Obama said, “he did his work and he was good. And he was smart. And I liked that. And he was low-key and he wasn’t impressed with himself. And he was funny. And we joked a lot. And he loved his little sister.”

Those values, Mrs. Obama said, coupled with talent made her agree to call Barack Obama her husband.

“And he’s cute,” she added, “I always thought he would be useful. But I had no idea he was going to be president.”
