Michelle Obama: Tamale

Michelle Obama is wild about tamales.

Obama shared that information at a Cinco de Mayo celebration at the White House.

From ABC News:


The crowd learned a little tidbit about the first lady, courtesy of her husband.

Said Obama: "I asked Michelle the other day, I said, ‘What’s your favorite food’ -- because we were sitting around with the girls. She said, ‘Ah, Mexican food.’"

The crowd loved the news.

"You do not want to be between Michelle and a tamale," joked the president. "It’s true. It’s true. But she’s moving, though, so she can afford to have as many tamales as she wants," said Obama in a nod to his wife’s "Let’s Move" healthy campaign.

Obama was joking. It was all in good-natured fun, but let's be realistic.

Michelle is moving, but she can't afford to have as many tamales as she wants.
