Michelle Obama’s Focus As First Lady: I, Me, Mine
Thats right….
Not Americas daughters, but just her own. Its all about her and theirs.
The first lady frequently participates in humanitarian and charitable work; over the course of the 20th century it became increasingly common for first ladies to select specific causes to promote, usually ones that are not politically divisive.
Every first lady throughout the 20th century has had a hand in some sort of program, but not this one.
Laura Bush took on issues such as Education and children, She established the Women’s Health and Wellness Initiative and has become involved with two major campaigns.
Welcome to the I Me Mine Administration.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A co-chair of President-elect Obama’s transition team says Michelle Obama as first lady will be focused on her two daughters and has no interest in having a seat at her husband’s decision-making table.
Valerie Jarrett says Michelle Obama first will get her daughtersâ€â€10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sashaâ€â€settling into their new life at the White House. Jarrett says Michelle Obama wants to get to work helping women juggle a career and motherhood.
She’s also interested in helping military spouses and promoting volunteerism.
But Jarrett says having a seat at the table and being “a co-president” is not something Michelle Obama is interested in.
