Michelle Obama: What you see is the real me

Despite intense public scrutiny, first lady says she finds ‘comfort’ in her role

When she moved to the nation’s most prestigious address, Michelle Obama’s husband told her that rough times were ahead. The country was in recession, people were out of work, the political parties were in open warfare — and the man who was going to be blamed for it all was President Barack Obama.

But you won’t hear the first lady utter a peep of complaint.

“The truth is, there are a lot of folks who are hurting. And there’s no way I’m going to sit here and complain; I’m sitting in the White House,” Michelle Obama told TODAY’s Matt Lauer during an exclusive, far-ranging White House interview that aired Wednesday.

It’s just over a year since Michelle Obama set up housekeeping at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And while she’s been much in the spotlight during that time, she maintains that she’s still the same person she always was.

Her focus on putting in a garden, and eating more healthfully are important messages that she is developing.

Her intellect shines, her composure is beyond what most mortals con only dream of.

I can easily see the influences of Jackie Kennedy and Eleanor Roosevelt...toss in a little Dolley Madison as well. She is so far above Laura bush, I can't even wonder why Laura even mentioned in some kind of "comparison".

I am one proud American to have her as First Lady, and look forward to a full eight years of her in that position...:woohoo:

:patriot:

The epitome of brains and class very well integrated!

with that husband of yours.:)
