Michelle Obama and the Power of America's First Lady

A former American President once said, "I'm the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris."  Michele Obama is currently dazzling France having already dazzled London. We talk about America's newest first lady — Princeton graduate, Harvard lawyer, community organizer, fashion plate and role model. Does she have an agenda? Also, the unavoidably bad unemployment numbers, and same-sex marriage comes to the Midwest.

We talk about America's newest first lady — Princeton graduate, Harvard lawyer, community organizer, fashion plate and role model. Does she have an agenda? Also, the unavoidably bad unemployment numbers, and the Supreme Court of Iowa paves the way for same-sex marriage.
