Michelle Obama om sina armar!

USA:s första dam Michelle Obama intervjuades av ABC:s Barbara Walters i torsdags. De pratade om allt från presidenthustruns beslut att fortsätta ta huvudansvaret för hemmer för att maken skulle kunna uppfylla sin dröm och om Michelle Obamas vältränade armar (!). ”Jag är gift med en man som har tränat hela sitt liv. Och oavsett hur upptagen han är så hittar han tid för sin work out. Och det funnits en tid då jag blev lite stött över det”, säger Michelle Obama.

WALTERS: You know, I understand that many nights when you and the president and the girls sit down for dinner you do something called the rose and the thorn.
OBAMA: Yes.
WALTERS: The best and worst.
OBAMA: Yes.
WALTERS: So look back over this past year. What is the rose, what’s the thorn?
OBAMA: The rose has been the response of people, not just this nation, but around the globe. Seeing the warmth and the excitement, those have all been roses.
Thorns — you know, not so many thorns. I mean, as Barack says, he has the thorny job.
WALTERS: Yeah.
OBAMA: If there are any thorns, it’s just the constant concern that I’m — I’m doing enough and that I’m doing my best and that I’m making the country proud. And, hopefully, people are happy with the job that I’ve done so far.
WALTERS: There was an interview with you and your husband in which you frankly talked about the fact that at some point in your marriage the fact that he wanted politics bothered you.
OBAMA: Mm-hmm.
WALTERS: He was away a lot. You were bringing up the kids by yourself.
OBAMA: Yeah.
WALTERS: And when did you say it’s okay?
OBAMA: I always had this dilemma, because I always thought, well, if I wanted somebody as my state senator or as my U.S. senator or as my president, I would want Barack Obama. And the only reason he wouldn’t do it is if I said no.
And I just —
WALTERS: He would have stopped if you said no?
OBAMA: He would have. And I think it’s that truth, the fact that he would have not pursued any of this had I really, really put my foot down, that it made it really hard to be the person that would stand in the way of someone else’s dreams and some — and the possibilities of his leadership.
And I definitely didn’t want to be in that position. And I think I made the right call.
WALTERS: It’s a little late, if you didn’t.
OBAMA: That’s right.
WALTERS: I mean, here we are.
Can we talk about your arms?
OBAMA: My arms?
WALTERS: Your arms.
OBAMA: Why, certainly.
WALTERS: Yes. There has been so much written about —
OBAMA: Why — why would you want to talk about my arms?
WALTERS: Well, nobody said a thing about your arms!
So do you feel pressured to have great arms? Do you have to get up every day and do the exercises?
OBAMA: (lskrattar)
WALTERS: I’m so glad you wore a sleeveless dress —
OBAMA: Of course. Of course. You know, I —
I have to say that my personal routine hasn’t changed much in the past 11 years. I mean, I really started right after I had Malia, our oldest. And some of that was, you know, in all honesty, it was a little sort of revenge.
Because I’m married to a man who has worked out all of his life. And regardless of how busy he is, he finds the time to work out. And there was a point at which I got a little resentful of that.
So if there’s anything that I can attribute these arms to, it’s probably just determination.
WALTERS: Do you have any guilty pleasures?
OBAMA: Oof! It’s usually food-based. And, you know, really bad TV.
You know, my really lazy days are I sit with Bo, who usually climbs up on my lap. He thinks he’s a lap dog. He’ll cozy up with me. And I’m just clicking through mindless shows, a lot of, you know, shows about food and design and all that good stuff.
And it’s just quiet. And I’m not thinking about anything for that second, not about the kids, not about my husband, not about my schedule. And if I get an hour of that during the course of a week — it feels like heaven.
