What to expect from the next First Lady

---

Mrs Obama has said that her first priority as First Lady will be to serve as "mom-in chief" and to make sure her daughters are settled into life in Washington D.C, reports BBC.
It will be the first time, for many years, that a First Lady has brought up young children in the White House.
To many, the combination of the professional and parental will make her a new kind of presidential spouse.
Historian Carl Sferazza Anthony has written several books about First Ladies.
"I think there's a greater interest in Michelle Obama because she's coming with two young children and it's a situation we haven't seen in quite some time," he said.
"Amy Carter was nine and matured in the White House... but really it's not since Jacqueline Kennedy almost fifty years ago that we've seen a professional woman who's articulate and willing to discuss social issues who also has the traditional responsibilities to two young children."
As well as playing the role of mother and hostess, it is traditional for First Ladies to take up causes they believe in: Laura Bush promoted literacy; for Hilary Clinton it was healthcare.
Michelle Obama has often talked about her desire to do more to help military families.
In an interview with NBC anchor Katie Couric earlier in the year, she was asked about what interests she might pursue if she were to become First Lady.
"There are a lot of things that I care about. I mean, I ran a national service programme, so I care very deeply about national service. I am a mother and a professional and a wife. And I know the struggles of trying to balance work, life, family," she said.
