You cannot compare Lisa Raye to Michelle Obama. Sorry.

[...] GALLERY: Lisa Raye vs Michelle Obama: Battle of the First Ladies [...]

Michelle any day the most powerful black woman on earth

This is such a biased article in obviously Michelle Obama’s favor. I don’t think one should have to be pious and righteous in living, to be a public official. Public officials are human beings first. I love the fact that Lisa Raye has style and flair, precisely! Michelle is what folks expect and so is Obama. Who really thinks that life is so ‘interesting?’ Those looks would bore me to tears that Michelle has, to be exact. What if Lisa Raye had been a lawyer, like Michelle? Also, what does her being in Tupac’s video have to do with anything? Lisa Raye is not a criminal, she’s not abusive to children or other adults. She was accustomed to the high life, before she met her husband and her salary probably rivaled or exceeded Michelle Obama’s before she married the prime minister. Obviously, they are a different type of couple- edgy. Had they not had a serious break up, or their personal affairs ‘in the news’- they would have probably been able to show two very diverse kinds of successful, and very loving folks of color- doing the damn thing in HIGH positions!! Damn damn, I hate this unfolded (Lisa Raye’s marriage) in this manner. Stylish couples shouldn’t be wished and hated upon to break up and split. It’s almost to say that unless your woman is a boring, “Leave it to Beaver, Mrs. Cleaver type” then the marriage is doomed. There are a lot of other type of marriages out there that resemble nothing of the ‘boring looking’ Obamas lifestyle. And hella yes- Michelle and Obama are too ‘expectedly average’ and pristine. Not that it is a bad thing, but it is a very boring thing.

what was the whole point of this comparison….alot of the pics of lisa raye were her w/ no clothes on and there are plenty of pics w/ her dressed nicely that couldve been displayed….lisa raye didnt marry him for money…she married him for love because she already had her own money before he came on….if lisa wasnt going through her situation w/ soon to be ex-husband this comparison wouldve never come about so the question is………….WHY ARE YOU HATING ON LISA RAYE AND HOW CAN YOU EVEN COMPARE THE 2 WOMEN???????

Ummmm what was the point of this… just wondering.

who ever had the idea of comparing these 2 ladies obviously is stupid and should not get paid for such a hateful article.This writer has no journalism ethics. What was the point of comparing these pictures? They are not even in the same context. I think NEWS ONE should stop offending the readers particularly black women who should seriously think about not buying or reading this magazine ever!!!!!!!

I’m not sure if Lisa Raye had anywhere near the kind of lifestyle that people think she had before she married the prime minister. She may have been rich, but he was wealthy. It’s possible that she did marry for money.

Too the person that wrote this all i can say is have a coke and a smile you hater.

Well, i don’t have to really comment. I’m sure that you are sore for kicking yourself after this one. If not, face the wall, size 13 coming right up!

What’s the point? The haters ain’t got nothing else to do.

there is no comparison between these 2 women. theyre as different as night and day.

DON’T GET THIS ONE TWISTED!!!THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON OR BATTLE HERE..LISA WENT FROM THE HOOD TO THE PLAYERS CLUB SEARCHING FOR STARDOM. MICHELLE OBAMA IS THE FIRST US BLACK FIRST LADY, WITH #1 CLASS AND EDUCATED, WE HAVE SOMEOME TO LOOK UP TO, AND THAT IS NOT LISA. MICHELLE HAIR IS ALL HER’S LISA- HAIR WEAVE.

wtf! yu kant compare these 2 they took 2 COMPLETLY dif paths in life. and hwats the point anyways? to diss lisa raye. quit hatin man let her do what she do, and let michelle do what she do. smh get a life!

This is no contest.

Michelle is Michelle & Lisa Raye is Lisa Raye. Who is havin’ such a slow news day that they have to come up with a tired hater story like this?
What, if a sister isn’t a lawyer or something that someone else eems “respectable” than she’s a ‘ho?
Personally I think both of them have class (and Lisa did have her own bucks BEFORE she got hitched!!!) Lay off the Haterade!!!

Are we for real, We as a people, and a nation, are embarking on history, that I think should be recorded for our future generations, from our own accounts. But now we are comparing Michelle Obama, to Lisa Raye? Black America have you lost your damn mind? Just when I think we had taken steps towards a common goal, there are people out there, that makes it their duty to show us to the world as savages, with no unity in sight. After the Etta James fiasco, I’m embarrass to even comment to such ridiculous statements. But because people are going to respond anyway, why not be the voice of reason, by saying NO COMMENT.

Michelle what’s good.

Are you serious?! How could you compare someone as great as Ms. Obama to that gold digger Lisa Raye. If anything, Lisa Raye should look at Michelle as a role model and follow her steps when being a first lady. NewsOne, fire the idiot who decided to bring this up.

THAT IS NO CONTEST

This is WOW! What did Lisa Raye do to this reporter? She is an actress and Michelle is in politics.As many decent pictures I seen of Lisa Raye those are the only ones this reporter can come up with? Lisa said no one told her this is how a first lady SHOULD BE! no crash course.Michelle went to college to prepare herself for this role.Lisa is Lisa.I don’t think they fell out over what she was wearing.Can you post positive pictures and ask us again? Don’t do this! We need to uplift people to dream and BE better not cut them down by a few pictures that are real degrading. They tried with Vanessa Williams and you see she came out pretty good on the end. Lisa keep your head up we were not there!Wow BlackPlanet!

Whoever thought to make this a topic is really reaching for something to talk about. What exactly are we supposed to be comparing, looks or power? Someone doing something productive or somebody doing nothing? C’mon this is another case of crabs in a barrel lol.

Women,don’t even bother about leaving negative comments on this subject matter,if you have daughters especially leave it alone,they say that we as women are our own worst enemy, because we really don’t like each other,or that we’re jealous and looking to take each others place, you don’t know sometimes what your own children are doing out here, you can only hope ou you can only guess, that they are making the right decisions in their own lives every day, I can only wish them both well, I like them both,and the only thing I can do is pray for myself,my children and my sisters out here the ones I know personally and those I don’t, no matter what my personal opinions are.

WTF is this, how dare these lames compare these two women, Lisa Ray can’t even be considered to be in the same class as Michelle Obama, is this some type of joke? This is a complete waste of internet space.

All Im going to say is” Are you serious” this has to be a joke….WOW!

What the hell, you can not compare these two women. If I was Michelle I would sue for this nonsense.

News One has be screwing up with bad topics for a while now. We should really stop coming to the site period.

complete bullshyt..

excuse my vernacular but this sh-t is ignent, how in the hell can you even form your mouth to say something so dumb, first i hate the poison of comparison and secondly there is none, you people are stuck on stupid and pushin for dumb,,,,,,,,,,,,,
