It's Friday in the East Wing of the Obama White House, the realm of first lady Michelle Obama.
Many of the cream-colored walls are still bare. The Obama administration, after all, is just one month old.
But there is a growing photo collection in the hallways that charts the increasing activity of the first lady in the last two weeks as she settles in to her new role and starts expanding her portfolio of issues. The newest item on her non-controversial agenda is healthy living. That's in addition to assisting military families, pushing work-family balance, national service, women's concerns and opening up the White House to the community.
The pictures tell a story of the first weeks of the administration and the first lady ramping up her public appearances. There's the nation's first couple in formal wear at the Alfalfa Dinner. And Mrs. Obama receiving an American Indian shawl at the Interior Department. The first lady greeting White House staff in the East Room and hugging a little girl at a school in the city. An empty frame waits to be filled.
The first lady on this morning is in her office.
Some days, she works from the White House residence. Her schedule isn't rigid. A few hours from now, Mrs. Obama will head to the Transportation Department.
Desiree Rogers, the White House social secretary, is outside the first lady's office door with her two deputies, Ebs Burnough and Joe Reinstein. The East Wing is producing its first big dinner tonight, a black-tie affair for the National Governors Association, and the operative word, Rogers is saying, is that the event should be "fun." The governors wanted to dance, so Earth, Wind and Fire was booked for the gig. Mrs. Obama was involved in planning the evening.

I cannot wait to see the headline Michelle’s last month in office! Now that is something to look forward to IMHO!
What a bunch of crap this Chicago paper can turn out on a daily basis.
I thought those were insulated horse blankets she’s been wearing
I don’t think it goes far enough
Michelle’s only functions are to look the other way when Obama has a boytoy, and to come up pregnant around October 2012.
Thanks! I’d have my account suspended or banned if I could genuinely speak my mind about the horrible person she is. Alas, I’ll play it safe, as I know FR has a family-oriented audience.
Both are scary as hell!!!!!!
She wants to help railroad the taxpayer.
As soon as she opened her mouth and started spouting Anti-Americanisms, my initial impression changed dramatically.
We were expecting Tyra Banks, but instead we got Maxine Waters.
Over at D.O.T. they need to fit a Mack truck around her shelf ass to move the big ole thing around.
“What business does she have being there?”
she’s Affirmative Action. She doesnt need a reason other than being black.
Dear God, she is disgusting.
A month? Why does it seem like these a$$-clowns have been in the white house for eons? Man, it’s going to be a long four years.
“There’s the nation’s first couple in formal wear at the Alfalfa Dinner”
Buckwheat?
