Michelle is laying the groundwork not for policy but for governance. You know how folks always talk about how the bureaucracy wheels turn so slow…Michelle is oiling the system and it is going to flow.

Michelle's setting a precedent just by beng the first Black First Lady, she's not gonna let a little HATERADE stop her now.

It's gonna be a challenge, but I think she and the President will rise to it.
