Michelle Obama Focuses On Work Still To Be Done

The first lady stood before a colorful backdrop set up for the event in the East Room of the White House, with portraits of George and Martha Washington on either side. Dressed in a blue and green satin print dress, a simple strand of pearls around her neck, she spread her famously toned arms wide before joining in the applause and congratulating the tiny chefs — winners of a “healthy lunchtime” contest.

While the kids started eating their “Yummy Cabbage Sloppy Joes and “Quinoa, Black Bean and Corn Salad,” the first lady introduced a surprise guest.

“It looks spectacular,” President Obama told the kids. “Hello, everybody.”

I grew up just like you. Same background,” she told the crowd. “My family didn’t have a lot of money growing up. Neither of my parents had the opportunity to go to college, and most of the folks in my neighborhood didn’t get a chance to go either.”
