The first lady made the rueful revelation as she feted the nation's top innovators and designers in fields as diverse as architecture, technology, fashion, and communications — winners of the annual National Design awards — at an East Room luncheon Friday.

So her kids would die without their laptops?????????

Not much different than the bubba’s trailer trash tastes.
I would want my shoe boxes of baseball cards..over a laptop..and my cap pistols and holsters...and the cowboy hat..
Well now it is clear why the MO backend has become super-sized, she sits in front of her PC all day until the evening cocktail party starts...MEOWWW! Can’t help it...
Just ask the Secret Service agent who was fired for complaining about her racial comments...
