Q I have a question for you. Since you can't run again for another term, is there any way that we as a group can talk the First Lady into running?
THE PRESIDENT: No. (Laughter and a
...
pplause.) No, no, no. No, no.
Q I know that's right. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Let me tell you, there are three things that are certain in life. (Laughter.) Death, taxes, and Michelle is not running for President. (Laughter.) That I can tell you.
But you know what, the First Lady, though, the work she’s done around reducing childhood obesity, the work that she and Jill Biden have done on military families and making sure they get support, I could not be prouder of her. And I am certain that she’s going to be really active as a First Lady.
Not only is she going to be a very young ex-First Lady, but unlike me, she looks young. (Laughter.) I was looking at a wedding picture -- actually, we found the old video from our wedding. We’ve been married 23 years now. (Applause.) And so my mother-in-law had been going through some storage stuff and found our wedding video. And I popped it in -- and I look like a teenager -- and realized, boy, I sure have aged. (Laughter.)
AUDIENCE MEMBER: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: I know that, though. (Laughter.)
But Michelle looked -- she looked identical. Looked identical.
Q We're proud of her.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m proud of her, too, because most importantly she’s been an unbelievable mom, which is why my daughters turned out so well. (Applause.)
