i think the above clip does say a lot. 

has michelle obama done things that i don't know about because i haven't been paying attention?
has michelle obama done things that i don't know about because the media only focuses on her clothing?
or
has michelle obama not done anything yet as the first lady besides attend functions? is that really what she wants her legacy to be?

in some ways, i'd give her a pass.  she's got two young kids, and her husband's job does require a lot of out of her even if she didn't have her own first lady agenda.  but, when you're a smart, educated, experienced woman- in the position she is to do good- should you waste the chance?

she's staying quiet. as time goes on she'll start talking again. i just think she doesn't want to put her foot in her mouth.

she's probably going to want to stay somewhat private like laura bush did. hilary is the only one that went buckwild and made waves.

She's been out speaking to interest people in public service, like Americorps and she planted a vegetable garden at the White House. Give her a break! She's new in the job...
