Michelle Obama

This is an internet myth and there is no truth to it. The president does salute the flag, and there are numerous online photos and videos which show him doing so. These sorts of myths were spread by his political enemies, but their claims are totally false.

Michelle Obama believes in eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating healthy foods is one of her passions; she has started a community garden at the White House.

Michelle Robinson (later Obama) was born and raised in Chicago. Other than her four years in New Jersey while attending Princeton, and several years at Harvard Law School in Massachusetts, she has spent nearly all of her life in Chicago. Of course, as First Lady, she lives in Washington DC, but she still returns to Chicago whenever possible to see friends and relatives.

Yes. It appears he was adopted as an adult by a family in the Crow tribe in Montana

Earlier, in a private ceremony, the candidate was adopted into the Black Eagle family of the tribe under the name Awe Kooda Bilaxpak Kuuxshish, or "One Who Helps People Throughout the Land."

Crow Vice Chairman Cedric Black Eagle said a purification ceremony was performed in which the candidate faced east - the source of new life - and was prayed over by his adopted father, Hartford Black Eagle.

Generally the First Lady is well favoured, even when her husband isn't doing so well in the polls. Even given that, Mrs Obama is doing pretty well on the popualrity scale. Polls indicate Mrs. Obama is not that popular, rating her below Mrs. Laura Bush and many other First Ladies. Critics say she has an air of snobbery about her. But, give her a chance, she has not been there that long yet.

She has yet to become a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

This is a difficult question to answer, since (with a very few exceptions) most First Ladies only take vacations with their husband the president; thus, it is usually not their choice when they go on vacation. By that criterion, Laura Bush would have taken the largest number of vacation days in the modern era, since she accompanied her husband George W. Bush to their ranch in Crawford Texas very frequently. But if you are responding to an internet myth that Michelle Obama has taken more vacations than any other first lady, it is not true. In fact, just about every modern first lady has been accused of taking too many vacations or spending too much money. There is no evidence that Mrs. Obama has taken any more vacations than other first ladies.

Yes, according to his own writings, Barack Obama had several girlfriends before he fell in love with Michelle. It should also be noted that since they married in 1992, there have been periodic internet tabloid rumors that their marriage is in trouble; there is no evidence to support these claims.

Obama gave up law in 2002 after winning re-election to the Illinois state senate. Michelle gave up law in 2008 to make room for her husbands presidential campaign and his Current administration. She now focuses her time on the roles as first lady and dedicate more time to caring for her daughters.

The above answer conflicts with online records in the State of Illinois, where Michelle Obama voluntarily gave up her law license in 1993. The records say Michelle is on a court-ordered inactive status. Many in the legal business would say one gives up their license to avoid being disbarred.

Michelle Obama had daughter Malia on July 4, 1998 an daughter Sasha on June 10, 2001. Both kids were born in Chicago, where the Obama family was living at that time.

Barrack Obama's mother Ann Dunham or Stanley Ann Dunham was an anthropologist. After her second marriage she moved to Indonesia with her family where she worked as an English Language teacher, she also worked for Ford Foundation in Indonesia. She worked as a consultant for Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan. Her last work was with Indonesian Bank Rakyat Indonesia .

Yes, of course. There are some internet myths that claim otherwise, but there is no evidence to support them. Newspapers in Chicago that reported on the Obama family during the early to mid-1990s did not mention anything about Barack and Michelle adopting a child; in fact, there is no reason to believe that Malia was adopted.

Michelle Obama is a nice, loving, and beautiful lady (for my opinion). Michelle Obama cares about children with diabetes and obesity. (obesity: fat). Michelle Obama is important to lots of peoples life because she is the first lady in the White House.

Michelle McKinney Hammond is quoted saying, "I am actually kind of ambivalent because I have a lot of really great male friends. I am kind of spoiled with not having that whole male void thing. God has provided so much that it would take a really special man for me to want to spend the rest of my life with him at this point. I have met people that I have liked, but nobody that I thought I just couldn't live without. My life has been so rich and so full. I think I really do treasure my peace. I went through so much as a single in the wrong types of relationships, the drama they brought and the angst that they brought, that when I finally found that I could actually be happy and not have a man in my life -- Now, don't get me wrong. Men are great. When you get the right man in your life, it is awesome. I have a host of friends and good marriages to look at, so I am not one of those who is jaded and thinks it cannot happen. I know it can happen with the right partner and the right amount of work, but the bottom line is it has to be God's choice for me because I am not willing to venture out and experiment at this point."

Yes. That money has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the American taxpayer.

We frequently get asked this question, and not just about Michelle Obama. A common discourse in society accuses First Ladies of being extravagant, greedy, materialistic, and living like Marie Antoinette while everyone else suffers. Such accusations, while fun for talk shows, are rarely accurate, and are generally based on partisan exaggeration. That said, the fact is that we do not have all of the costs for Mrs. Obama's vacations, since some of the expenses (secret service protection, for example) are private. Also, in several cases, she had friends accompanying her, but some sources say that these friends reimbursed the treasury for their expenses; we do not have a way to verify that, however.

What we do know is that based on reporting in major newspapers, Mrs. Obama has not spent more than other recent First Ladies, nor is there evidence she is extravagant. In fact, some sources report she likes to shop at stores like Target and the Gap. It should also be noted that many of her designer gowns (which she wears at formal dinners) are donated by the fashion designer, in exchange for the great publicity that comes from a First Lady wearing that designer's creation. Also, according to fact-checking sites like Snopes.com and Factcheck.org, Mrs. Obama does not have "the largest personal staff in history" nor does she spend more on staff salaries than her predecessor Laura Bush did. The role of the First Lady has continued to expand, and most of Mrs. Obama's expenses are related to her work as First Lady.

Michelle Obama has been a big advocate for children's health and fighting America's growing trend of childhood obesity. She started the "Let's Move" campaign to encourage children and families to eat healthy and exercise. She also planted the first White House vegetable garden since Eleanor Roosevelt planted one during her term as First Lady.

Part of being the president is traveling to summit meetings with world leaders, and representing the interests of the United States during these meetings. In mid-November 2014, President Obama was at the "G-20 Summit" in Australia, where he and a group of other world leaders (including Russian president Vladimir Putin, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel) discussed a wide range of issues, from global climate change, to the economy, to Russia's conflict with Ukraine.

Did not a previous Republican-Congress jack the pay scale to $400,000 plus other after President Clinton for President Bush, before President Obama? Cheney-Bush failed America on September 11, 2001!

Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin. she worked on marketing and intellectual property.[2] Subsequently, she held public sector positions in the Chicago city government as an Assistant to the Mayor, and as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. In 1993, she became Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.[15] She worked there nearly four years and set fundraising records for the organization that still stood 12 years after she left.[12]

In 1996, she served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she developed the University's Community Service Center.[39] In 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.[40] She continued to hold the University of Chicago Hospitals position during the primary campaign, but cut back to part time in order to spend time with her daughters as well as work for her husband's election;[41] she subsequently took a leave of absence from her job.[42] According to the couple's 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate. The total Obama income, however, was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, and investments and royalties from his books.[43]

As US President, he is paid $400,000 plus expense money for entertainment and travel.

In 2007, his household income showed to be 4.2 million dollars but most of this money came from his books sales. In 2006, he made 1 million dollars.

Barack and Michelle Obama, who filed their 2008 taxes jointly, earned $2,656,902 then.

Michelle Obama is not dead.

No, there is no evidence of it. There are a few tabloid magazines and gossip websites that have made this claim, but such claims are typical of the tabloids: they spread rumors about famous people, often without any proof, and usually just to sell more magazines. By all accounts, the president and his wife are very happily married and celebrated their 20th anniversary in October 2012.
