No need to thank me for that mental image.
(Politico) — First lady Michelle Obama and her husband can only brace for the intensity of his reelection campaign by taking one day at a time, she said Tuesday.
“You know, there’s really no way to mentally prepare for it,” she said in an interview on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” which came as she visited Los Angeles for a handful of big-ticket fundraisers.
“You take each day as it comes. I think Barack and I, our motto is, you know, we try to do the best job that we can do every single day, and the hope is that that will speak for itself,” Michelle Obama said, according to excerpts released ahead of the show’s airing on the East Coast. “So, you know, we wake up every day. We think about what this country needs.”
Michelle Obama’s appearance included a segment devoted to her “Let’s Move!” initiative to promote healthy eating and exercise. The first lady encouraged Leno — not a healthy food fan — to taste a smorgasbord of fruits and vegetables, including an apple. Leno said he hadn’t had one since 1984, and Obama encouraged him to dip it in some White House honey to “help it go down easier.”
“’White House honey.’ That sounds bad. You know, with a different president that could mean a whole different thing, ‘a little White House honey,’” Leno cracked.
