Michelle Obama: "Practical" To Put Myself Highest On My Priority List
First lady Michelle Obama tells Barbara Walters in a 20/20 special that it is "practical" for her to put her self highest on her priority list.
Obama says she found her self slipping "pretty low" on her own priority list because she was "so busy caring for everyone else."
Michelle Obama says she spends time with girlfriends and going out in her attempt to put herself higher on her priority list. Transcript below.
Barbara Walters, ABC News: "Mrs. Obama, you've recently said something that I thought was very interesting for other women to hear. You said 'you put your own self highest on your priority list.' That sounds selfish?"
Michelle Obama: "No, no, it's practical. It's something that I found I needed to do for quite some time, even before the presidency. And I found it other women, in similar situated balancing career family, trying to do it all and a lot of times we just slip pretty low on our own priority list because we're so busy caring for everyone else. And one of the things that I want to model for my girls is investing in themselves as much as they invest in others."
Walters: "So what do you do?"
Obama: "Make sure I get my exercise in so I work out as much as he works out."
Walters: "I hear more."
Obama: "I do now. He's been busier. Spending time with girlfriends. Going out. You know, pulling in people in my life who give me strength and joy."

Wow. Now who would want to put others first before themselves? Isn't it always, "all about me"?
Some names go trailing through my mind; Mother Theresa, Clara Barton, Sophie Scholl, Joan of Arc. Those are just the ones I can think of without doing an internet search.
Yep, who in their right mind would put others before themselves?
Have we ever had such an unabashed, self-centered narcissitic twit for a First Lady? Even Shrillary would put up a caring front. It might not have been sincere but she at least implicitly acknowledged the primacy of placing others before herself.

Scotju, amen to that. If she ever had to haul ass it'd take her two trips.
