Michelle Obama: Mom In Chief? Or Part Of The Administration?
LatestSelf-described “Mom in Chief,” Michelle Obama, has actually been talking about non-mommy stuff, like policy, and the Times reports that some are surprised.
Unlike Laura Bush, who steered clear of discussing legislation, the First Lady recently pitched her husband’s economic stimulus package to employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. She also gave a speech at the Education Department last week, where she had to correct herself when she used the word “we” when talking about educational investments the president is planning. “I shouldn’t say ‘we,’ but the administration ‘we,'” she said.
