Michelle Obama: As First Lady, We Did the Traditional Thing of Telling the Truth — It Could’ve Been Easier

‘We felt a deep responsibility to do it right and to do it better’

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “ — and being the first, you know, we felt a deep responsibility to do it right and to do it better and to be careful with our words, all the things we thought were important, things like thinking about what you say before you say it, you know, um, telling the truth, you know, getting your facts right, all of this. We worried for no reason! We could have done it so differently! It could have been easier! But, no, no, we were doing the traditional thing. So, you know, it was a big responsibility.”
