Michelle Obama describes life in the White House

Speaking on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show, First Lady Michelle Obama talks about life in the White House as the US general election approaches saying they "take each day as it comes."

As part of a charm offensive for her husband's election campaign, Michelle Obama is hitting the American talk show circuit kicking off with an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in Los Angeles.

America's First Lady talked about several issues including what life was like in the White House as the presidential race gained momentum ahead of November's election.

"There is no way you can prepare for it. You just take each day as it comes," she said.

"I think Barack and I, our motto is that we try to do the best job that we can do every single day. Our hope is that will speak for itself. We wake up every day and think what this country needs," she added.

When asked what she thought about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney leading an impromptu chorus of America The Beautiful in Florida on Tuesday she sheepishly described it as, "beautiful." Mrs Obama went on to talk about her project work with childhood obesity and military families.

She also touched on what life was like in the White House for her two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

"You know they are doing really well, the girls are good and they are normal, we always check in and they have a regular life, they have friends and sleepovers."

"To them it is home. It's been a blessing for us," she added.

The First Lady is scheduled to appear at several fund raising events while in Los Angeles and has also booked an appearance on the The Ellen Degeneres Show.
