MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much. I am thrilled to be here. Thank you, Susan, for that kind introduction. I'm thrilled to be here, but I was just at Sesame Street, I'm sorry. (Laughter.) And I never thought I'd be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird, and I was thrilled. I'm still thrilled. I'm on a high. (Laughter.) I think it's probably the best thing I've done so far in the White House. But we were there talking about nutrition and healthy eating, and it's just been a thrill. So I'm glad I could take the time to be here with you all.

I'm so proud of our first family. Michelle is such a perfect role model for all girls, not only her two. :loveya:

I don't care who you are, that's gotta be cool. :)

lol :loveya:

RIP, and thanks.

I'm thrilled they were talkin' about "nutrition and healthy eating"!:9

I will stay her from work to see her and Elmo together. When will it air?

I wonder if she used to watch it when she was little. :)

at least, Mrs. Obama is making it seem that way!

We go way back.

... NOW she gets to be on Sesame Street!

I am SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!

but after "the Joker" and her fake-ass blue-blood stepford enthusiasm it's nice to have a regular jill with a hell of a brain on her shoulders who is enjoying the hell of an awesome situation.

It was Sesame Street. I watched the first episode and I was hooked.

One thing that made a big impression on me was the baker with the sky-high stack of pies that always fell. I loved that.

Fast forward 30 years ... I couldn't interest my kids in The Street at all when they were little. Go figure. :)
