Linda Lowen wrote on About.com that Michelle Obama was the first, First Lady, to bring a gift for the outgoing first lady. Now that is truly a class act.
I think that as our girls grow up watching Michelle Obama balance work and home with her grace and dignity, they will learn that it is truly a great thing to be a true lady AND we can balance work and home without sacrificing either.
There is much to be said about Laura Bush who, though she was never quite in the limelight like her husband, worked hard to make a difference (and did). She also was one of the first to stand up for Michelle Obama when the media and the McCain camp were on the attack about a statement Mrs. Obama made.
Women, we are definitely in the presence of two great ladies who have managed to keep their femininity without sacrificing their independence. We would do well to take note.

I don't think this article is accurate. As far as I know, all new First Ladies give a gift to the preceding First Lady just as the incoming President gives a gift to the out-going President. Maybe Ms. Lowen should check with the Chief of Protocol about gifts to/from First Ladies. I believe there is an entire office that deals with gifts.
