First Lady Michelle Obama returns to the campaign trial for the first time since 2008 next month, with the White House announcing her first wave of political travel in the run-up to the November election. The schedule released Tuesday has Mrs. Obama doing nine fund-raisers in seven cities. In a telephone briefing with two senior administration officials, reporters were told Mrs. Obama will be adding more events once they are finalized. Her schedule was crafted with input from the West Wing so she does not overlap with President Obama and Vice President Biden.
