Why the first lady is not paid?
Given how much work the First Lady does, advocating for causes, going out on speaking engagements, representing the United States at certain functions, one might think she does deserve a salary, but historically, the wife of the president was seen as someone who was there to help him and not as an employee. She was not voted for, in other words; she was simply the person to whom the president was married.
Americans have a very conflicted role about first ladies-- a century ago, the first lady was expected to remain in the background, but as women's roles changed, the idea of a more public role became increasingly acceptable. However, whether it was Eleanor Roosevelt or Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama, the first lady was always expected to have a subordinate and volunteer role (even if she had a professional career) and not take attention away from the president. If a first lady seemed too much of a decision-maker, this caused her to be criticized. The country still does not seem ready for a first lady who maintains her independence or continues to work. But it also is interesting to note that some first ladies have become more popular than their husband.

No wife of a president was given that title before 1877. The first wife of a U.S. president to be referred to as "First Lady" was Lucy Webb Hayes. This was incorrect however, but the honorary title for presidents' wives who came after her stuck. This is not a political statement, but simply one of historical reference. The "First Lady" was always the spouse of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Those who serve on the Supreme Court have their jobs until they die, or retire if they so choose. They are the only such lifetime jobs our government offers. The Presidency was then, and still is, simply a "temp job".
Writers of etiquette books, and those in Washington society, were horrified in 1877 when newspaper journalist Mary C. Ames referred to Lucy Webb Hayes as "the First Lady of the Land". Prior to Ms. Ames pilfering the "First Lady" title for her article, no references to wives of the President were anything but just that; The wife of the President. Aside from the fact that Washingtonian etiquette prescribed the social duties involved in being a First Lady at that time, and the Supreme Court Justices wives took their duties very seriously, many wives of Presidents were not all too happy that their husbands were running for the office. Some wives were very content to stay in their homes, close by to their friends, and they did not wish to pull up stakes for a move to Washington.
Take Anna Harrison for example. She was 66 years old when her husband William Henry Harrison was elected President. She loved her home was not too keen on moving. She had bore many children, and six had died over the years prior to her husband winning the Presidency. She had no political or social agenda, or desires. She is often quoted as saying, "I wish that my husband's friends had left him where he is, happy and contented in retirement." She skipped the festivities in Washington after her husband's win, and decided to wait until after his inauguration to move to Washington. She missed his record breaking inaugural speech in the freezing Washington air. Six weeks into his term, Harrison died from pneumonia and pleurisy. Anna received the news as she was packing to move to Washington D.C.

What are some Michelle Obama hobbies?
A few of Michelle Obama's hobbies are, gardening, being a first lady, sewing, cooking, and being a wife.
Is the President Obama and wife together or not?
Yes, they are absolutely still together. If the question is about whether President Obama is still married to Michelle, there is no reason to assume they are getting a divorce. There have been various tabloid publications and gossip websites that claimed the president and his wife are separating or their marriage is in trouble; but there is no credible evidence to support these assertions. Both Barack and Michelle are very busy people, so they may not always spend time together; but they do seem to care about each other, and most reliable sources say that they have a strong marriage.
What are Michelle Obamas daughters named?
Their names are Sasha and Malia. (Note: Sasha's real name is Natasha, but it seems everyone calls her Sasha.)
