Now that Barack Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, wife Michelle Obama will be spending more time in front of the camera. She has agreed to appear on the daytime morning talk show The View on June 18th. John McCain‘s wife Cindy McCain appeared on the chat show on April 21st. Barack has been a guest of the show on two occasions. See photo below.
Michelle will sit with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck to dish about the latest hot topics. No lightweight, the attractive lawyer attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School. Her latest job was with the University of Chicago Hospitals. She is also a member of the board of directors for TreeHouse Foods.
She met Barack Obama when they were the only two African American employees at their law firm and she was assigned to mentor him while he was a summer associate. The couple married in 1992 and have two daughters, Malia Ann, 10, and Sasha, 7.
Michelle has curtailed her work schedule in order to support her husband’s run for the presidency. Expect to see Michelle stumping for her husband at a stepped up pace for the next five month and hitting the talk show circuit as well.
