FLOTUS: 'Our Job Is To Make Sure Our Family Is Whole'
WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama is pushing back against the notion that she and President Barack Obama don't socialize enough in Washington.
The first lady says in an interview in the April issue of Vogue magazine that she and the president were straightforward when they said – before moving from Chicago to Washington in 2009 – that their family, including two young daughters, would be their priority.
She said "the stresses and the pressures" of the White House are so real that they prefer to spend free time with their daughters, now 14 and 11.
