Michelle Obama: ‘I’m like any working mom’

Published



First lady Michelle Obama cozied up to children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., late Wednesday and opened up about life in the White House, assuring the kids that through her six years she has remained just a simple mom to her family.

Asked if she ever felt overwhelmed, Obama said, “You know, you kind of get used to the pace of it,” then added, “I think in many ways I’m like any working mom. I’ve got to make sure that I do my job and that I try to do it well, but I’ve got to make sure my girls are good.”
