The First Lady keeps her family healthy.
Being a President’s child has tons of perks. You get instant popularity, go on awesome trips around the world, wear a stylish wardrobe, have Secret Service agents keeping you safe – and you even have a movie theater and bowling alley in your own house.
So you’d think that Sasha and Malia Obama would be able to help themselves to all the cookies in the White House kitchen whenever they’re in the mood for a nosh. Right?
Wrong!
First Lady Michelle Obama told Access Hollywood that her daughters “have a set diet” to ensure they get plenty of healthy foods every day. “They can’t go in the refrigerator and get what they want,” she said. “They can eat as much fruit and vegetables [as they want] and they can have at that, but not a lot of snacking. So, we set some boundaries.”
Promoting her “Let’s Move” campaign aimed at stopping childhood obesity, the President’s wife explains that her emphasis on healthy living isn’t just a fad she adopted because of her high-profile role.
Two's enough for the Obamas
People have an annoying way of assuming that when a mom has one or two children, she’s hoping to – or planning to – have more as soon as possible. They also assume that when her children are of the same gender, she’s “secretly hoping for a boy” or “regrets not having a little girl.”
So when you’re a First Lady who has “only” two children and “only” has daughters, you have to expect a lot of rumors and questions about adding another child to the mix.
Michelle Obama answered that question once and for all during a CBS This Morning interview with Gayle King.
King confessed that she’s “still wishing for a baby boy” for the family, to which Mrs. Obama replied, “There’ll be no other children in the White House. I can officially make that announcement here.”
It's a dog's life for the First Lady
I dunno. You ask me whom I’d want to be in a next life, I might choose a major historical figure, a great author or a wealthy philanthropist. Maybe I’d want to be a Kardashian or a Simpson, so I could see whether fame is all it’s cracked up to be. I might even choose to be one of my own kids. See how well they turned out – or how badly I screwed them up.
Or, if I had to choose a nonhuman form, I’d choose something like a majestic bald eagle, a graceful, fun-loving dolphin or a mighty gorilla bonding with its clan in the darkest jungle.
Not so Michelle Obama.
What would the First Lady want to be, if she were reincarnated? Barbara Walters puts the question to her in tonight’s 20/20. She doesn’t want to be her idol, Coretta Scott King. Nor a fashion designer, performer, spiritual leader or scientist. No, she’d like to come back as… Continue reading »
President Obama gives Facebook a "dislike"
When it comes to Facebook, President Obama gives the social-networking site a big fat dislike… for his daughters, at least.
In an interview with People magazine, the President reveals that he and First Lady Michelle Obama do not allow their two daughters, Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, to have Facebook accounts even though Malia simply because he doesn’t think it’s necessary for people to have an insight to their private lives.

Michelle Obama is okay with her daughters watching 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'
First Lady Michelle Obama recently opened up to iVillage about raising her daughters, Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, with sleepovers, chores, and keeping up with those Kardashians. Yes, the Kardashians.
“They’re terrific girls, they’re poised and they’re kind and they’re curious. And like any mother, I am just hoping that I don’t mess them up.”
While President Barack Obama feels watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians is not the best for his daughters, Michelle sees things in another light.
She says, ”Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians — when they watch that stuff — he doesn’t like that as much, but I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in — what did you learn when you watched that. And if they’re learning the right lessons, like, that was crazy, then I’m like, okay.”
Health advocate: Michelle Obama
The jokes do right themselves, don’t they?
First Lady Michelle Obama has been on a real mission in getting our children to put down their chicken mcnuggets for a meal of goji berries and kombucha instead in an effort to trim the baby fat that America’s children can’t seem to lose.
Mrs. Obama continued her crusade by allowing hundreds of hungry children (not really) to gather on the White House lawn for two minutes of rigorous exercise that didn’t involve a Wii device or a remote control.
Chaos shortly ensued after the kids decided jumping jacks just took up too much coordinated effort and went for Mrs. Obama instead, almost knocking her over before the Secret Service swooped her out to a nearby table of lobster, caviar and champagne funded by tax payers while the children looked on in despair.
Kidding!
