Future first lady Michelle Obama joined Jay Leno on Monday and shared that her husband’s source of strength comes from his ailing grandmother, whom he visited last week.
“She’s doing OK, up and down. But we are just grateful that he took time off and went to see her,” Michelle Obama said. She said Barack credits Madelyn Dunham, whom he calls “Toot”, with giving him his strength.
Obama also shared 10-year-old Malia’s reaction to her dad purchasing a 30-minute paid advertisement on national TV: “‘You’re going to be on all the TV? Are you going to interrupt my TV?’” her mother said Malia asked. She said Barack reassured her that he hadn’t bought time on the Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.
Regarding recent claims that RNC spent $150,000 on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe, Obama said she wanted to be empathetic: “A VP pick, it’s like being shot out of a cannon. All of a sudden you’re at the center of attention, and you want to look good. You’re living in your home, minding your business, and all of a sudden you’re on the national stage and everyone’s watching,” said Obama, adding she’s never met Palin.
