First Lady Obama isn't struggling at all and I so disagree with the commentary title. She has always made her platform clear --- her role as a mother is first and she's always maintained that she would support President Obama in any way she could and that's what all great First Ladies should do! And by the way, I'd say her well toned arms have reached my household regarding the Obesity Epidemic. My family is on board.
