[First Lady Obama and her mom cover Essence for month of May]

Mrs. Michelle Obama on what being First Lady means to her:
“It’s an honor and a privilege when you walk into the White House-at least I automatically felt a level of obligation. This is a big responsibility, a wonderful platform and I just want to make sure I take every advantage to serve as a role model, to provide good messages, to be a supportive mate to the President and to make sure that my girls are solid.”

Mrs. Marian Robinson’s advice on raising children: “The main thing that I think needs to be taught to children is the ability to think and make decisions. You don’t have to have a lot of information, but you have to know how to get through the process. If you make mistakes you don’t [just] decide I will never do that again.”

    i suppose the first lady’s mother is intelligent and as smart as she is but i don’t know that yet. i have yet to hear her speak at all. i am quite certain fruit do not fall far from their trees. still, i need to hear her conversation and elaberate to determine how smart and intelligent she really is.
