First Lady Michelle Obama Covers VOGUE, Defends Claims That The Obama’s Aren’t Social Enough

First lady Michelle Obama has snagged another cover, taking over April 2013 issue of Vogue. In the issue, she defends claims that the Obama’s don’t socialize enough in the nations capital. FLOTUS explained:

“Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they’re growing every day. But I think we were both pretty straightforward when we said, ‘Our No. 1 priority is making sure that our family is whole’. The stresses and the pressures of this job are so real that when you get a minute, you want to give that extra energy to your 14- and 11-year-old.”

The interview, conducted in January shortly after Obama began his second term, was released in the midst of his attempts to do more of what critics say he hasn’t done enough of: reaching out to lawmakers, particularly Republicans, he needs to get his agenda through Congress. The president, who is also featured in the interview, joked that he and his wife may have more social free time, now that his daughters are less interested in hanging out with their parents. POTUS joked:

“As I joked at a press conference, now that they want less time with us, who knows? Maybe you’ll see us out in the clubs.”

The issue hits stands March 26th.
