The First Lady Reflects and Looks Forward on the Today Show
Posted by Jesse Lee on February 03, 2010 at 11:07 AM EST
It's been a little over a year since First Lady Michelle Obama stepped into her role at the White House, and she sat down today with Matt Lauer from the Today Show and reflected on her time so far and her future goals -- click here to watch the video.
She noted that she would like to look back and feel like she affected somebody's life because she was here, which brings on her new initiative on childhood obesity, an increasing problem in the nation, since statistics show that one in three kids is obese. "The most shocking sort of reality that really hits you is that 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." The First Lady said the problem is solvable, and they will be striving for attainable goals, but the broad vision is to "change the health status of an entire generation."
On balancing her work with being a mother: "I find a level of comfort in that role." She acknowledged that there are challenges, but that she remains the same person she was before she entered the White House. "What people have seen over the course of the year is really Michelle." She maintained the same for the President, who she says despite challenges that face the nation, "handled the pressure with that same level of grace that he came here with."
