Michelle shared she had reservations about dating her future husband, former President Barack Obama.
Michelle greets her"little potato," firstborn Malia after an event."This has demonstrated, in a way, , damn, those years weren't for nothin','" Malia says. "You see that huge crowd out there... People are here because people really believe in love and hope in other people. Also, every time you guys play Stevie Wonder, I don't know, I cry a little bit.
"I think it was just the release of eight years of trying to do everything perfectly," she reasons. She says transitioning to being part of the first family after Barack's inauguration in 2009 was like being"shot out of a cannon."At a community event in Philadelphia, Michelle says, “So little of who I am happened in those eight years. So much more of who I was happened before.
"I stopped talking off the cuff. I stopped talking freely," she says."I used teleprompters. I had to be much more scripted than I had ever been before." "It's hard to wake up every day and maintain that level of perfection that was absolutely required of me and Barack as the first black president and first lady," she says.
