The Today's Show Matt Lauer interviwed Michelle Obama
“Last question,” Lauer said. “Is this fun? Is fun even a word that can be used to described what you’re living through right now?”
“I am having a ball,” Mrs. Obama said emphatically. “I really am. I mean, I love people, first of all, and I think it would be hard to be in this position if you fundamentally didn’t love people. So, I come to this with a certain level of just joy in hugging — I’m a hugger.”
She ticked off all the things that are right in her life.
“My life is filled with these wonderful interactions with Americans all across the country. That’s what I do every day. My staff is terrific. My kids are healthy. My husband’s fine. He’s got a hard job, but he can handle it.
“I’m having a ball, and, hopefully, I'm doing some good in the process. Check back with me in a year. But right now, I’m doing all right.”
First lady:
I’m ‘not that interesting’
Feb. 3: In an exclusive interview with TODAY’s Matt Lauer, Michelle Obama addresses the intense scrutiny she faces, but also says she is enjoying her role as first lady.
She’s taking on childhood obesity.
“There are the shocking statistics that are there,” Mrs. Obama said. “One in three kids are obese in this nation. And the numbers go up when you’re talking about the African-American and Hispanic communities. The most shocking sort of reality that really hits you is that, because the young generation is on track for the first time in this nation’s history of being less healthy, having a shorter life span than their parents.”
