Let's just get this out of the way: Michelle Obama is, arguably, one of the greatest First Ladies, ever. Not only can she execute vibrant colors and exciting styles -- which, for us, is of the utmost importance in a leading lady -- but she also loves a good tamale. And how. During a Cinco de Mayo party at the White House, President Barack Obama used his wife for a few harmless food jokes. Gawker reports: "[Obama] prepared for the crowd all sorts of Mexico-related jokes, for which the First Lady served as a useful prop at times. Mexican food is Michelle's favorite, Obama said, adding that 'you do not want to be between Michelle and a tamale.' "

The only question remaining: Does Michelle prefer SoCal or NorCal taquerias? Since she's all about being healthy these days, we're going to peg the First Lady a SoCal fan. Our burrito brethren to the south lean toward the less oily.
