Obama 2016 - The president cannot run for a third term but that hasn't stopped speculation about another Obama running for the nation's highest office in 2016. Michelle Obama this week shut down speculation that she might consider a run. "There are so many ways to serve. And being president is one of the hardest ways. And that's one of the reasons why I tell Barack I'm a little smarter than him, I picked the easier job," she said during an appearance this week on ABC's The View.\r\r(Photo: Courtesy ABC)

Isn't He Romantic? - In a candid moment the first lady shared the First Couple's nighttime ritual with People magazine.

I'm like, "Yes I am,'" she said.(Photo: AP Photo/Richard Lipski)

Late Night With Michelle Obama - Michelle Obama appeared on Comedy Central's The Daily Show where she gracefully deflected awkward questions from host Jon Stewart about her husband's past pot use to exposing her kids to the sometimes overly candid Vice President Joe Biden. “[Is] it hard to raise a kid around Biden?” Stewart quipped. “He's the uncle that comes over and you're like 'oh you brought them guns.'” The first lady responded that Biden's "a great vice president and a great friend."
