First Lady Michelle Obama STOPS BY "The View," DISHES On Politics & Eating Healthy

First Lady Michelle Obama stopped by "The View" earlier today where she talked about being a mother in the White House, eating healthy and her own political goals. Deets inside....

 

Michelle Obama made her third appearance on "The View" today as she promoted her first book American Grown.  The book focuses on the White House garden she started three years ago and includes tips about creating your own garden, recipes, and eating healthy.

Rocking a fab blue and white belted floral dress and blue kitten heels, she told the ladies of "The View" she was inspired to start the garden because she wanted daughters Sasha and Malia to be healthier.  When the girls' doctor specifically said that she needed to watch their diet, she decided to take control.  Michelle said she began with small, important changes like adding more water and fresh vegetables to the family's diet.

The hosts asked her about if she ever worries she is pushing her image of First Lady too far--like critics like to say (like hula-hooping on the South Lawn and appearing on tons of magazine covers and talk shows).  She answered, "I have to be my authentic self.  You all can smell inauthenticity a mile away."  And she's right.

When the subject of racism came up, Mrs. Obama said she does think racism is a factor in this country but she added, "Barack Obama is the President of the United States.  And this country put him in office."

She added that the majority of what she gets as she travels around the country is "love."  "There is more that unites us than divides us.  We are all fighting for a decent America."  

She added that "Barack says when they go small and you go big--Always take the higher ground." 

The First Lady, who says she usually goes to bed around 9 (after Mr. President literally tucks her in) even though Malia is now staying up later to do homework, says she and the President protect the girls from the negativity directed towards their Dad as best they can but she adds, "Your life is good either way.  Their world is secure no matter what."  She says the girls understand that Dad has rough days, but that they are loved and protected. 

She added that she teases The President a lot but he DOES NOT tease her back.....it's part of the deal.  Ha!  I know that['s right....

Mrs. O. combated rumors of her own political agenda by confirming she would NEVER run for political office.  After 48 years of life, she says she knows her passion--and it's not politics.  But, she said, she will spend the rest of her life working for military families.

 

Watch the interview here:

 

And earlier:

The First Lady appeared on "Good Morning America" where she talked about the garden with a bunch of cute kids.  Watch it above.  Cute dress Robin!

I guess you are not a good

I guess you are not a good parent unless you shelter your kids from their sexuality, vulgarity, or pop culture, some of you all sound more like the pastor from 'footloose'...how can your children make educated decisions if they only see one side of the spectrum? Oh I know...half of you are children yourselves and childless, leave the parenting to knowledgable grown folk #thanks #rantOver

I just cannot believe these

I just cannot believe these comments. I just can't. What is so wrong with a beyonce concert. She wears what anyone who dances wears... leotards. When she is out in public does she wears leotards. NO it is only when she performs. Hell even high school dance teams wears leotards. She doesn't do anything that professional cheerleaders or dance teams do. What exactly is wrong with the way she dances??? Give me a break. I swear this site is going to the dogs quickly

Michelle looks amazing, I

Michelle looks amazing, I wonder if her hair is natural or chemical. I don't know why people are tripping about her Beyonce comment. Michelle is grown and can admire who she wants. Beyonce is a successful artist/entertainer so what's the big deal? I guess people would be happier if she said she admired Carrie Underwood or something. Barrack admits he listens to jay z music, does that mean he want to be a dope dealer? You guys are real ignorant!!!!

A Taylor Swift concert

A Taylor Swift concert would've more appropriate, unless she's showing her girls how not to act. Beyonce is the nastiest entertainer alive...blame it on Sasha Fierce! In our AIDS infested community she is not who our daughters should be looking up to. Her lyrics,clothes,and stripper dance moves speak volumes. Michelle ain't nothing sweet and nice about this chick. Playing that shy role to a fucking T! Can't wait til Blue gives her some of that Sasha behavior cause it coming!

First, that's not blue!

First, that's not blue! Second, the comment below which incoherently reads, "my admiration of her has dropped sense she admitted her adoration for Beyonce" When did these egocentric, ignoramus, naive individuals become the norm in America. If you are so immature to think everyone has to agree with you to be influential, you may as well have kids and move to another planet! This is America, and we choose who we listen to as we feel. Because someone listens to Beyonce, Prince, Queen, Michael Jackson, Nobe..etc. doesn't define who they are!

@ Anonymous 1:53 pm What a

@ Anonymous 1:53 pm What a VILE comment to write. Beyonce's show is not raunchy what in the world are you talking about? Comments like this don't belong under anything being written about the FIRST LADY. I wish people like you would show some restraint and get an education. It's really PATHETIC that you dislike yourself so much that you have to behave in such a fashion. Grow up. Michelle Obama has taste and taking her daughters to see Beyonce is fine. I think Michelle and Barack know what is appropriate for their children and I know they have sound judgment. You on the other hand lack all of the above!

So u think her burlesque shows are appropriate for young girls let alone the first children of the US? Don't answer it's useless!!! Smhlol...singing Nasty put some clothes on, I told ya Don’t walk out your house without no clothes on...Hehe ijs only problem is she's doing the exact opposite and reppin' it as classy!! *sigh....

OMG@Anon 4:01 pm I was really attacking this persons use of language. But I don't think Michelle Obama should have taken Sasha. It pains me to say that. I really LOVE Michelle Obama but this was a poor choice. YOU ARE CORRECT! IT WAS A POOR CHOICE ON MICHELLE's PART. I'm a little disappointed in her. Sahsa has no business being there. NONE!

I have to admit her

I have to admit her admiration of her has dropped somewhat after all her ravings about Beyonce. She's coming across as a groupie, and thats not a good look. In fact it started when she spoke about watching the kardashians ( MAJOR FAIL) I thought she had more sense and class for that and worse to expose the questionable morals of those vile people two young girls!!! Nuhhh, not a good look Mrs O
Anonymous's picture

@Anonymous 1:10 pm I agree

@Anonymous 1:10 pm I agree with this comment much more because it was spoken with INTELLIGENCE and not VULGARITY. I think Michelle Obama should be more aware of her role as First Lady. I like how you communicated your point of view because I agree with it 100%. Michelle should NEVER admit to watching the Kardashians. And Barack did mention that Sasha and Malia don't even watch TV but they attend Beyonce concerts???? And she should be worried about her National Image....especially in an election YEAR. It does make her come off a little less serious and less credible. I have to co-sign on this comment 100%. I'm also a little disappointed. I don't think Beyonce's shows are that bad but at the same time Sasha is a little too young to be exposed to this and I read a reporter say Michelle was dancing and carrying on in their BOX.
