Michelle Obama Talks Being A Mother With Oprah

Michelle Obama is settling into her new role as First Wife. I am definitely excited about following her life. And it’s probably because she is young with kids around the same age as mine. She is on the cover of the latest issue of O magazine. And inside the interview she talks about the White House, being a mom and life. Here are the highlights:

Michelle on what she “knows for sure” in life: “I know that all I can do is be the best me that I can. And live life with some gusto. Giving back is a big part of that. How am I going to share this experience with the American people? I‘m always thinking about that.”

Michelle on how her daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, know dad is home: “Once someone on my staff e-mailed to tell me that the president was on his way. But you could already hear the helicopter, so it was like, well, no kidding.”

Michelle on her White House vision: “It’s a beautiful home. When you go out and come back, especially at night, with all the white lights on–it’s just beautiful. We feel privileged, and we feel a responsibility to make it feel like the people’s house. We have the good fortune of being able to sleep here, but this house belongs to America.”
