Arianna Huffington Gives Michelle Obama "A Ten"

Arianna Huffington, editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post, told Bob Schieffer on CBSNews.com's "Washington Unplugged" that she thinks highly of First Lady Michelle Obama's decisions to move her mother to the White House, create a vegetable garden and develop an "approachable" personal style.

"This is fantastic, an unqualified yes, there is nothing to complain about," Huffington said.

"Even if you don't terribly like that particular outfit," she said of Mrs. Obama's fashion sense, "you know it is what she loves and what she looks good in."

As for the first lady's protocol-breeching personal contact with the Queen in London, Huffington had this to say: "A little more touching among the royal family is not a bad thing." Schieffer agreed.
