President Barack Obama and first Lady Michelle Obama enter the East Room for entertainment after a black-tie dinner at the White House on February 22, 2009 in Washington, DC.Us Magazine
"He doesn't understand fashion," she tells The New York Times in a new interview.
The first lady adds that he even refers to one of her gray metallic belts as "my 'Star Trek belt.'"
"He's always asking, 'Is that new? I haven't seen that before,'" she says. "It's like, 'Why don't you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.'"

She says her husband typically tells her things like: "You didn't need any more shoes. The shoes you had on yesterday were fine. Why can't you just wear that for the rest of the presidency?"

Another hot-button issue for the first lady: Her body.
"I have hips," she tells the Times. Pointing to her Maria Pinto skirt, she adds, "I have them covered up with these pleats."
She says she has to follow an exercise regimen of light weights, calisthenics, jump-rope and a cardiovascular routine (including interval running) so she can feast on dessert, burgers and fries.

Fries "are my favorite food in the whole wide world," she says. "I could live on French fries."
She says her greasy food habit hasn't rubbed off on daughters, Sasha, 10, and Malia, 7.
Look back at all the famous first children
Asked if they eat at fast food restaurants, she says, "Some of them I want to go to, because it's quick and easy, and you figure, 'Well, we ate fine all week, guys, let's go get this.'"
But she says, "Theyre like, 'No, Mommy, we won't be eating there.' And I feel like, 'Darn, where are we going to go?'"

ROBERT SPresident and Mrs. Obama are a breath of fresh air after the horiffic fiasco of the last eight years. It is wonderful to see a couple so obviosly in love, coping with life in a fish bowl and being so natural and unasuming. The president is doing the best he can with the can of worms on his plate. God help him help our nation. God Bless America.report abuseposted March 25, 2009 11:42 PM PDT

Blah BlahIt's funny when people try to seem smart by posting political talk on a Yahoo OMG topic. Of course kids in Africa starve, kids in America starve. Ever heard of the Appalachians? Funny how a place in America has a standard of living comparable to 3rd world countries, yet no one seems to care about them. Why can't we help children and families in America Mr. & Mrs. Obama?report abuseposted March 25, 2009 6:14 PM PDT
