Michelle Obama has triumphed after accepting a press-up challenge from Ellen DeGeneres on the comic's TV talk show.
The 48-year-old easily completed 25 in front of a studio audience and millions of television viewers.
"I thought it wouldn't be good to show up the First Lady so I stopped," quipped DeGeneres after quitting. "I thought this looks bad that I'm going to beat her. I'm 54 and you're 48." Mrs Obama also revealed something about life with the US President behind the doors of the White House.
"He (Barack Obama) doesn't pick up his socks," she said in response to a question sent in from a viewer. "He thinks he's neat but he has people who help him," she told DeGeneres.
"I'm like, 'it's not you that's neat. It's the people who pick up your socks. Those are the neat people'," she said.
Mrs Obama has been in Los Angeles promoting her "Let's Move" campaign to combat childhood obesity in a series of TV appearances.

Now, many leaders have bad habits...and often those are exposed to the public. But I don’t recall any leaders’ wives finding fault with them and seeming to enjoy doing so as much or as often as Michelle does.

I have a much different take on this.
Her criticism of her husband, much like her ridiculous photo op in a Target store, is specifically designed to make people forget about her Marie Antoinette-like behavior in spending our money for her many luxury trips.
Ordinary women are supposed to hear junk like this and then think that the Moose is just one of us. Also, the leftists who plan all of these strategies think that normal women enjoy showing disrespect for their husbands. They think this because that is the way that leftist women behave.
A press-up is the British term for what we Americans call a push-up.
I find it hard to believe that Moochelle can do 25 of them.
OK...I watched...a “press up” is a “Push up”....I do 30 of those TWICE a day, every other day....and I’m 60! Whooppee.
I'd be very interested in how you did it. LOL
Good for you.
Mom didn't call me Sarah Bernhardt for nothing.
LOL Too Phunnie!!!!
The Mooch always tries to portray him as some helpless boy that’s cute and funny. It’s really weird to me the way she talks about him. Not like she’s talking about a man in charge. It’s like she is trying SO hard to make him look human because everyone knows he’s cold and calculating and reality probably spends very little time with his wonderful wife. She will say anything to be first lady again.
Good grief......REGULAR men DO pick up their own socks and put them in the DIRTIES, UNLESS they think they are the MESSIAH!~!
“I screamed in the middle of the night and pretended I fell in.....”
I’d have bought you a flashlight and a towel...
Men are sooooo -------
wonderful!!
You’re right. She does criticize him a lot in public. Probably even worse in private.
