What a sad state of affairs when schools have to enter exclusive contracts with these types of companies for extra funding.

The look of sheer joy on the kids' faces is amazing!

Notice the cat on the back step is the only one who didn't seem too excited to see her.

What a great video!

...is a National Treasure.
For her warmth, and grace, and openness ( CANNOT imagine any of the Bush wives allowing children to run at them and launch themselves with joy into an embrace ) and unpretentiousness, she should have her own shrine in Washington, D.C.

Michelle has so much class she will stand out as a model FL for a long long time.

I don't even have words. I'd probably break down if I ever met her in person.

She as much as her husband has really turned us around as a family in having PRIDE in our country again.

I really hope she continues to do outreach on this after President Obama leaves office.

Why am I thinking what a visit from first lady Ann Romney or Melania Trump would look like? hmmmm a lot different...

Ann Romney - ok kids the name of this is called Dressage.. see how the horses prance around....

Melania Trump - ok kids this is called dress-up... see how my *&%^ prance around.....

yeah sorry, but Republican first ladies just can't understand the minds and workings of a middle city, sometimes under fed, under clothed, under educated children like our Democrat first ladies can and did....

Nancy Reagan worked with the drug Just say no....yup cuz her kid was into drugs
Nancy Reagan worked with stem cell research - yup after Ron got Alzheimer
Bushes - hmmm reading, not sure what else..

Obama - Health, nutrition, self-sustaining life, exercise, inner city youth
Clinton - Healthcare, children's fund, etc......
Carter - women's rights, etc...
