Michelle Obama: 10 quotes on her birthday

[littlemissmartypants]

Born in Chicago on January 17, 1964, Michelle Obama is a graduate of both Princeton University and Harvard Law School. While working in Chicago at the law firm Sidley Austin, she met the man who would become president and married him on October 3, 1992. They moved into the White House with their two children Malia and Sasha on January 15, 2008. The current first lady has championed health and fitness for children, even starting an organic garden on the White House grounds. As the self-described "mom-in-chief" of the First Family, Obama has won praise from many as a hard-working, public-spirited, and compassionate parent.

4. On friendship

"We should always have three friends in our lives – one who walks ahead who we look up to and follow; one who walks beside us, who is with us every step of our journey; and then, one who we reach back for and bring along after we've cleared the way."

3. On the challenges of being First Lady

"The only difference between me and every other woman that I know is that my challenges are publicized, and I'm doing this juggling in front of cameras."

The ability to meet someone, talk with them, take a walk under their skies, understand that they are you.

Our First Lady rocks!

4. Am I missing something here?

"They moved into the White House with their two children Malia and Sasha on January 15, 2008."

I thought they didn't move into the White House until January 20, 2009.
