Taking time out from the campaign trail with President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with “Extra’s” Mario Lopez and talked about how she keeps fit, being a mom, and what she likes to watch on TV.
“‘Extra,’ that’s one of mine!” admitted Mrs. Obama. “I love keeping up with what going on. I love my entertainment shows.”
The First Lady told Mario her secrets to staying in great shape while campaigning. “I bring a jump rope because sometimes getting down to the gym in the hotel is a little tough. It creates too much of a commotion, so I'll do 500 sets of jumping and in between, I'll do some ab work.”
Mrs. Obama also talked about raising her girls. Of 14-year-old Malia, she said, “Suffice it to say she's a typical teenager,” she laughed. “We talk about everything and we're happy if she doesn’t date until she’s 40 or so. Another incentive for Barack to win re-election… Secret Service for Malia in the teen years.”

ow she is a expert on marriage and raising teenagers????
I"ve been married for 43 years and raised 10 children so I am an expert, no drugs none in jail. When does Ann Romney get equal time?
Why has this show now become a platform for the democrats? I can't believe today's show was all about Obama. This is so unprofessional and disturbing. Is tomorrow's show going to be praising the Republican Romney, or do you not believe in equal time? You have now lost MANY fans and even more respect!! Do NOT publish my name or email address!
I see you are having a conversation with Michelle Obama. Will you be doing the same with equal time just before the election with Ann Romney? I do think it's only fair that you provide equal air time for both candidates.
If Obama loses the election, you can blame/thank Wall Street for bamboozling him. How is it right that an entire new network questions the President’s citizenship for four years to create doubt in voters while a fringe element of the far right demonizes and degrades him?
