i interviewed michelle obama and she is a great interview. frank answers to questions all the things he would imagine. it is not a lack of capability. there is a power in being able to exercise the ability to get on magazine covers, to be on late-night television to have daytime tv conversations that shape the conversation in a way that the white house is fully in control. ms. swain: we have to get to questions. mr. cannon: it is a good conversation. it is not partisan, it is healthy. policy in syria is a problem but there is nothing wrong with that. not everybody can pull it off as well as they did. ms. swain: first question. >> there are reports or rumors that at least two first ladies ran the country when their husbands were ill. mrs. wilson and nancy reagan. is that true? mr. anthony: i would say, quick response -- when you say presidency, you have to look at the different components. one of it is making the final decision on things, sometimes it is approving things, sometimes it is making a decision to not make a decision, firings hiring

>> that clip you showed of michelle obama was excuse me of the two quotes grace coolidge and martha washington mrs. obama gave an interview yesterday that she had on both of those and that if you. she says what don't you like? you can't go out. i'm stuck here. you can't just go out. the other thing come to john's want want to be a first lady? she said i want to be a pediatrician. that's not what you wanted to be when she grew up i'd to me michelle obama's embrace the role in an uncommon way. more than any of these others i've covered. hillary clinton is an exception to she thought as obviously a stepping stone. and she often talked about eleanor roosevelt. it's as if eleanor roosevelt eleanor roosevelt could have run for president now. they would've handed her the nomination. the party would've been hers if we had risen by the. so hillary clinton has a personification of eleanor roosevelt 50 years later. in terms of embracing all of this role for what it is michelle obama to me is almost a transformational figure. i don't cover the white house anymore. i covered it for 15 years. now i added th

you don't ever want to underestimate michelle obama. >> if barack obama's not president of the united states what is michelle obama doing today? >> she's probably not riding around with the secret service. exactly. thinking of all the things she's not allowed to do. she sat out after she graduated from law school and after she had a brief experience in corporate law to try to make a difference on the south side particularly with disadvantaged communities, communities that she had known very well growing up. it certainly appears that that's what she wants to keep doing after she leaves the white house. she said she'll focus on education, which she calls one of the most important civil -- >> when you hear education, but is there a specific thing? and we know what the president, i think my brother's keep we know what he wants to go with it and wants to make it post presidential. does she have a separate track? >> i think she is very consistent with the notion of expanding opportunity with what i call in the book unstacking the deck a little bit. it is not at all clear she's exactly what

i've interviewed michelle obama. she did more interviews with traditional media earlier on and she's a great interview. frank answers to questions, as well as all the things you would imagine so it's not a lack of capability, but there is a power in being able to exercise the ability to get on magazine covers, to be on late-night television to have daytime tv conversations that shapes the conversation in a way that the white house is fully in control. >> karl, quick response. >> there's nothing wrong with that. it's a good cause but it's not partisan, not controversial. it's healthy. we don't like them going around us on health care policy and policy in city government has a problem but does nothing wrong with that. not everybody can pull it off as well as they do. >> first question over here. >> there were reports or rumors that at least 21st ladies that i know actually ran the country when their husbands were able come and those were mrs. wilson and nancy reagan. is that true or is it not true? >> i would just say,

it isn't what she wanted to do but to me michelle obama has embraced the role. a hillary clinton is the exception and she often talked about eleanor roosevelt. she could have run for president now to hand her the nomination. so that medium personification it said not cover the white house anymore but i have to say what i think but if you watch this program you have to be objective about michelle obama but i don't. [laughter] >> and eleanor roosevelt was nobody followed her. she is the first african american first lady. we have written about that for there for even broader than that the first post titled line is she walks with confidence and to be just as good of athletes but michelle obama does not do that. shoebox and as of this so-called confidence -- physical confidence as a person that is the inspiration. >> it is so easy and so fascinating with public figures and how often refer get that. is before coming to the white house before lady bird johnson. then what would be said about mrs. obama and willing to give up their privacy it is the opportunity to make a

i just want to say michelle obama is great. i think she is definitely the best first lady the country has ever had. but i don't know, the spouses -- i don't think hillary should really let, you know, spouses should not get involved too much. bill has already been president. i think that should be hillary's cloud -- crowd in iowa. but i wouldn't let him take the hillary show. but if she does go to waterloo she should definitely say, i know this is the town where -- is from, right? but i don't think those are gaudin talk to michelle is the wife of a president that is different. but in bill's case, he is too political. i wouldn't take him with me. also, hillary can do good on her own. thank you. host: christine, thank you very much for the call. anita mcbride if you could go back in history and envision another first lady running for president, who would you put on that list? guest: i think definitely lady bird johnson. she was politically various dudes. she was a great communicator on her own. she would to rate her husband's spee

we think of michelle obama striding through life really confidently. late-night comedy shows she's a force on the campaign trail, but one of the things that really surprised me was how often she talks about her own self-doubt, about what motivated her, what worried her growing up. what worried her and made her feel lonely at princeton and harvard. and she tells those stories especially to girls who she says, you know, you can do it too. if i did it you can do it. she talks about the power of her own trajectory. >> and she does it passionately. i remember one night, she lectured my daughter a good 20 minutes, and i think she connected with dominique better than i ever have. she really, really keys in on young ladies. >> that is her audience. you know she is a mentor to her bones. and she tells those stories of her own life and of barack obama's life and she says we are here you can be here too. it's going to be tough, she said, you're going to get knocked back sometimes, but you've got to stick with it. that's right. >> now, you mentioned her campaignin

think of michelle obama, her mother was a very important role model to her. lks about how she wanted to be a mom. she wanted to be a really good mom like her stay at home mother and only when she got to high school did she start thinking about her professional ambition. in the white house, mrs. robinson is there and she's a rock to her. michelle says i can go. up to the third floor and cry and complain and my mother says, now, go on back out there and do what you're supposed to do. >> that notion of that vision of this intergenerational family of black women, we think of the obama moment ushering in president obama, but it also ushers in this intergenerational family of african-american women. one of the things that i think many african-american observers loved about her before she was first lady was the ways in which she talked in real talk about her husband. she talks about barack obama being just a man. >> i don't lose sleep over it because the realities are that as a black man, barack can get shot going to the gas station. >> sorry, so that was the wrong o

[laughter] and of course, mr. president. thank you for taking time away from being on jimmy kimmel to be here. i know this must have cost a ton of food stamps, said thank you. i can say that, a lot of you probably don't know this, but obama and i grew up together in chicago. i remember when we used to go down to the basketball court. i would lace up a pair of jordans, he would sit on my moms jeans. we would just miss three-pointers until sundown. of course, that when it have to stop and pray to mecca. those were simpler times. now you have problems with congress, vladimir putin israel. you said it yourself. we can't solve problems by holding hands

and michelle obama is taking a tv-friendly approach to her signature issue.have seen her do pushup competitions with ellen, we saw her evolution of mom dancing with jimmy fallon on the "tonight show." has the high profile publicity campaign actually led to a change in how kids eat? cnn's suzanne malveaux joins me. we have seen childhood obesity rates skyrocket over the past three decades. has the first lady her campaign and the billions of taxpayer dollars behind let's move have they been able to turn the tide at all? >> reporter: here's what we're learning. according to the centers for disease control and prevention we are actually seeing a decrease in obesity for very young children but not for older kids. so childhood obesity has more than doubled in children quadrupled in adolescents. this is in the past 30 years. the fact there is even any change from the past five years from the let's move campaign public health experts think is rather significant. b-ball tennis and busting a move at the white house today. at the easter egg roll first lady michelle obam

anita and susan worked for laura bush and michelle obama.i wonder if you can tell us about the organization the first lady needs and why she needs it, and how you interact with the west wing. you both had titles, not only of chief of staff to the first lady, but assistant to the president. how do those titles were together? >> should i start? the east wing staff has clearly grown and i think that is a direct result of how much more is expected of the first lady and what she chooses to do with her platform, which is a privilege, to represent the people of the united states. there is this increased expectation, and also with it the pressure to do something with this opportunity. so the staff grows to support the initiatives and the initiatives are selected i first lady with this one fundamental in mind -- by the first lady with this one fundamental in mind. how can i support the work of the president? during a mind they are not paid. it limits their flexibility to pick and choose the causes and to really use their background and experience to
