Role of a First Lady

On Monday, Michelle Obama made a visit to the Department of the Interior as part of her listening tour. Now, there's word that the first lady will be appearing on the cover of Vogue magazine. She'll be the second presidential spouse to grace the cover.

As Mrs. O. settles into life in the White House, the question remains what kind of first lady will she be. She's probably still getting to know her staff of 20 and figuring out where to devote her considerable talents. Military families? Work-life balance issues?

What areas do you think she concentrate on? Or do you prefer that the wife of a president take a back-seat role the way Obama's predecessor did?
