I don't have the stressful job. Barack Obama does.

Being president isn't anything like reality TV.

I mean, hope doesn't get actualized in three and a half years. If that were the case, we'd be out of luck as a country.

My view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. Can't do it.

I love french fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that's okay. I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love. I also don't want my girls to be obsessed about food. We don't have a "no junk food" rule - I just want them to think about their choices.

I had the honor of meeting a young Pakistani woman named Malala Yousafzai, who was shot and nearly killed just for trying to go to school. I also heard about how nearly 300 girls in Nigeria were kidnapped from their school dorms in the middle of the night. There are girls like this in every corner of the globe. In fact, there are more than 62 million girls worldwide not attending school, and that's an outrage.

Barack is one of the smartest people you will ever encounter who will deign to enter this messy thing called politics.
