Mrs. Obama pushes back against notion that she and the president don’t socialize enough while in town

First Lady Michelle Obama is no stranger to magazine covers. In fact, she’ll cover Vogue magazine for the second time since becoming FLOTUS five years ago. In the April issues, Mrs. Obama pushes back against the notion that she and the president don’t socialize enough in Washington. The first lady says she and President Barack Obama were determined to make sure their daughters, Sasha and Malia, were the priority when they weren’t at work. "The stresses and the pressures of this job are so real that when you get a minute, you want to give that extra energy to your 14- and 11-year-old," she said in the interview, a copy of which was provided to The Associated Press. “Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole.” President Obama, who also sat down with his wife for the Vogue interview, acknowledged that Sasha and Malia have less and less time for their parents. "As I joked at a press conference, now that they want less time with us, who knows? Maybe you'll see us out in the clubs," he said. The April issue of Vogue will hit newsstands on March 26. (AP)
