Michelle Obama

Michelle Payne attended Catholic schools in her early education, including St. Brigid's Primary School in Wodonga and later, the Sacred Heart College in Wodonga. She also attended the University of Melbourne for her studies. Her background in education has played a role in her development both as a person and as a professional in the racing industry.

Absolutely. He always has. There are many internet myths which claim he does not respect it, but these have been spread by his political opponents, and there is no credible evidence to support their claims. Whether as a senator or as president, Mr. Obama has always shown respect for the flag, and there is no evidence that he ever was disrespectful towards it. You may be thinking of how, early in his political career, he did not wear a flag pin on his lapel. But this proves nothing: at that time, very few politicians wore a flag pin. Once it became a campaign issue, in 2007, he began to wear one.

The role of the First Lady has been in a state of change for decades, although it could be said that the more things change, the more they stay the same. In fairness, there has been some very real change: in the 1800s and even into the early 1900s, Americans used to want the president's wife (she was not called the First Lady till the late 1890s) to remain in the background; she was basically expected to stay in the private sphere, raising her children and entertaining dignitaries by being the hostess when there was a formal dinner at the White House. But as society began to change, a few first ladies became more public. Louanne "Lou" Hoover, wife of Herbert Hoover, was the first to give a radio talk in 1929-- but she talked about her charitable work, and a president's wife doing charitable work was considered acceptable. Mrs. Hoover had been a working woman before she became the first lady, but a first lady who also had a career was not acceptable. It still doesn't seem to be, even in 2012.

Eleanor Roosevelt pushed the boundaries for what a first lady did. She not only had her own radio show, but she gave press conferences and insisted that only women reporters cover her. Still, she rarely discussed policy or politics. She was very public about the causes she believed in, and tried to walk the tightrope of being a "modern" first lady while still being a traditional wife and mother. Still, her willingness to be in the public eye earned her many enemies and she was frequently criticized by traditionalists who felt she was too outspoken or too public. But she also earned the admiration of many Americans, who found her a breath of fresh air and a very interesting person.

America's first ladies have seemed at times to be the old-fashioned type, focused on fashion and food and raising kids, while maintaining a public presence only as a glamorous hostess and a dutiful wife (Jacqueline Kennedy comes to mind); some were rarely seen in public, while others made appearances for social or patriotic events. Now and then, a first lady exemplified the "new woman" like Betty Ford, who was very public about her battle with breast cancer and who also spoke about her struggles with alcohol; or like Hillary Rodham Clinton, who even wanted to help her husband with policy decisions. While Mrs. Ford, a liberal on social issues, was sometimes criticized for her views, she was generally very popular. But Mrs. Clinton earned the kind of hostility that Eleanor Roosevelt had experienced, although she also earned similar admiration for being her own person. Today, Michelle Obama has had to fit herself into the role that society demands of first ladies-- giving up her job as a businesswoman, becoming known for charity work and for being the Mom in Chief. We may assume she chose to do this, and she seems genuinely happy with being first lady. But some sociologists and historians wonder if it will ever be acceptable for a first lady to keep her career while also being the first lady.

This is another of those internet myths. Neither Barack nor Michelle Obama has been disbarred. Both allowed their licenses to lapse, since they were not going to practice law any more. But if they decide to go back to being lawyers, they can renew their licenses, since both left the legal profession in good standing.

Not really. You don't think all black women look alike, do you?

Barack and Michelle Obama were married on October 3, 1992 at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. Their then pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., officiated. They first met while they both worked at the same law firm in Chicago, Illinois. At the wedding, Michelle's brother Craig walked her down the aisle. The reception was held at the South Shore Cultural Center and Stevie Wonder's song, "You and I" was their wedding song.

Anyone who assaults the president (even if it's the president's family) will have the secret service to deal with. Usually if it's a non-lethal assault (no weapons and no major injuries) the attacker is detained. If the attacker had a weapon of any kind, they would have a bullet in their head before they got within striking range.

She started a "get fit" campaign. she works a lot to try and get people active and to have healthier lives.

Yes. If she wanted to, she certainly could. She has said, however, that she has no interest in politics at this time. But a former first lady can definitely become a presidential candidate, as Hillary Rodham Clinton has already shown.

Michelle Obama is the first African-American First Lady. She was raised in a lower-middle class family in Chicago; her maiden name was Michelle Robinson. Her parents encouraged her to achieve, and both she and her brother Craig attended good colleges. Michelle graduated from Princeton University and then graduated from Harvard Law School. After working as an attorney for a while, she became a hospital administrator as well as a successful fundraiser for a charitable foundation. In 1992, she married Barack Obama; they have two daughters.

When she and Barack married, he was a lawyer and a college professor. Later, when he ran for political office, she was at first reluctant to get involved in politics, but gradually became more accepting and then willingly participated in helping her husband's campaign. Since Barack Obama was elected president, Mrs. Obama has become a very popular First Lady, with a focus on combating childhood obesity and encouraging healthy eating. She has also encouraged urban gardening.

Oh course she knows. it is like parents know you that you do drugs because this is the stupidest question ever. and i don't get what the big deal is because so many Americans smoke. and he is not a pack-a-day smokers so what is the deal

Her major at Princeton University was Sociology. She also studied African-American history.
