The Obama campaign has been catching grief lately for suggesting that wedding guests donate money to his 2012 presidential run in lieu of more traditional gifts. However, their latest campaign gambit to combine love and politics is likely to be a bit better received.
While promoting her upcoming HBO comedy series 'Veep' on the 'Late Show With David Letterman,' Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed her own real-life brush with presidential greatness when she took a photo with First Lady Michelle Obama. Only problem is that the image looks suspiciously like a photobomb -- and that's being generous.
When it comes to the public's approval, Michelle Obama has a higher rating than even her husband. So it shouldn't be surprising if we see more and more of Michelle as we approach the 2012 election.
In fact, just this week she showed up on the 'The Colbert Report,' and the cover of Ebony Magazine. But it was what was inside Ebony that's geting a lot of buzz today: a handwritten note from Beyonce, which sings the First Lady's praises.
As a way to celebrate Easter and mark April as the "Month of the Military Child," First Lady Michelle Obama visited hospitalized vets and their families at the Fisher House on Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD., today.
The White House tour has long been a ritual for those who visit Washington DC. It's not the world's easiest ticket to get. In fact, you have to apply for one through your congressperson. But if you do snag one of the spots, the self guided tour is a lot of fun -- and completely free. But even then, some tours are more awesome than others, and one recent group got the tour of a lifetime courtesy of the First Lady herself.
Recently, Michelle Obama said that she was willing to make "a complete fool" of herself to promote her Let's Move initiative, which encourages kids to be active. That was music to Jimmy Fallon's ears, since, as he says, he already makes a fool of himself every night.
First Lady Michelle Obama is a world record holder, and she didn't even have to anything weird like stuff a bunch of quarters up her nose or run around in her underwear, which is what less presidentially-connected folks have been doing recently to set world records.
Instead, she set her mark in a recent event in which 300,000 kids in locations around the world joined her in doing jumping jacks, shattering the previous record of 20,000 people doing jumping jacks in a 24 hour period. Now, the Guinness Book of Records has confirmed that Michelle is a world record holder.
When kids write to First Lady Michelle Obama, one of their most common requests is a photo of Bo, the first family's 3-year old Portuguese Water Dog.
For the enjoyment of "kids of all ages," the White House has released a new photo of Michelle and Bo posing together in the White House's kitchen garden
Michelle Obama is officially Tweeting. While she may not have her own personal Twitter account yet, the First Lady sent out her first tweet on Wednesday night as part of her Joining Forces agenda.
As part of her noble initiative to fight childhood obesity, first lady Michelle Obama gathered 450 kids on the White House's South Lawn on Tuesday in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period.
Yes, there's a record for that.
