on monday, president obama and today michelle obama.lle obama's predecessors could have spoken to a group of young african leaders. some of them could have said important things, memorable things. but no other first lady in american history could have shared the kind of personal memories and insights that michelle obama did today, with the mandela young african leaders. this was a day when all americans could take pride in the fact that a woman like michelle obama has the unique position that she does in this country and she used that position to inspire people who we have every right to hope are well on their way to making this world a better place. now, i'm going to get out of the way and let michelle obama do the rest of the talking. >> i could give a perfectly fine speech today about increasing investments in girl's education around the world. but i said i wanted to be honest. and if i do that, we all know that the problem here isn't only about resources. it's also about attitudes and beliefs. it's about whether fathers and mothers

but not michelle obama's. does this put her in a unique position to accomplish when it comes to the signature issue childhood obesity? >> i think it will give her some leverage as she's preparing for probably one of the most significant political battles of her tenure as first lady. she kind of has those numbers because she rings and resonates as being authentic with the american people. whether you believe that or not, not everyone agrees with that, the reality is the majority of the american public sees the first lady as someone authentic. >> you may not agree with her, but you at least think she's real. >> you think she's real. >> the first lady send a strong message to republicans when she talk talked about their efforts in may. this is what she said. >> this is unacceptable. it's unacceptable to me not just as first lady but as a mother. i know, right now, i talked to so many parents, teachers, kids write me every day and more families are realizing that we're facing a health crisis in this country. >> is
