FILE - In this May 10, 2012, file photo, first lady Michelle Obama, accompanied by Jill Biden speaks at a Joining Forces event in honor of military mothers in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Michelle Obama has a new look, both in person and online, and with the president's re-election, she has four more years as first lady, too. The first lady is trying to figure out what comes next for this self-described "mom in chief" who also is a champion of healthier eating, an advocate for military families, a fitness buff and the best-selling author of a book about her White House garden. For certain, she'll press ahead with her well-publicized efforts to reduce childhood obesity and rally the country around its service members. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
