Michelle Obama Jokes On Good Morning America: "I Covered My Arms" (VIDEO)

*Scroll down for video*

On Friday's "Good Morning America," First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to Robin Roberts about her work with military families, her daughters ("They're doing great because I'm able to strike a balance...they keep us going"), her mother ("she's the funniest person I know"), and how she relaxes ("sometimes I just click on some non-important TV"). All that and she still found time to talk about her arms.

Also included: the First Lady had a rather cute encounter with a toddler yesterday. Before reading "The Cat In The Hat" to children in North Carolina, she explained that she has two little girls, which prompted one youngster to declare "I know Sasha! And Malia!"

Every American has the right to bare arms!

You go, Michelle!

[The Lorax]

Wow, lots of love and support for Our First Lady here. KEEP IT COMING.

[misty1]

she is so great!

[bluehand]

Mrs. O, please go sleevless when ever you want!

[BettyEverdene]

Dear First Lady Michelle, I have a life - but I still want to see your strong, beautiful arms! You are elegant and powerful! A wonderful example for women!

[lentinelia]

They are attacking Michelle's arms the same way that they attacked Hillary Clinton for having long hair at the time she became first lady.
The media boys are threatened by femininity.

Clinton cut her hair.
I hope Michelle tells them to go f-ck themselves, figuratively speaking.

[SteveDenver]

I don't think it's femininity. I think there are some news creeps who look for any opportunity to attack. It's tiring and adds to the negativity of news reporting.

[rebelzz]

Yes, Michelle is intelligent, strong and beautiful (both on the inside and the outside)..­. I think she's a good role model for women everywhere. We need more people like her!

[roshni]

Thank goodness for my First Lady! I just saw a picture of Dick Cheney and it was about to ruin my day.

[FreetoBme]

Please Michelle, you are the First Lady.
Set the pace, don't let the Republicans bring you to their level.
You and your wonderful husband represent the people.
By all means, go sleeveless when you want.
You are representing us as you do what you feel comfortable with.
For the first time in a long time,
we the people are represented in the White house.
Please, don't let them change you,
Be who you are.

What a wonderful First Lady we have with a real good sense of humor. I hope she stays just the way she is and not turn into a Stepford Wife as some of the other ones have, Laura Bush in particular.

[learnsomething]

I love First Lady Michelle.
She has a sense of humor, she can laugh at the foolishness of the Republi-cons.
She loves people.
She is a genuine sweet person.

[notthistime]

"she can laugh at the foolishness of the Republi-cons. "

and you know she was. Laughing at the foolishness. Made it seem really petty

[SimJack]

Some just don't seem to understand that under the 2nd amendment she has the right to keep and bare arms.

[AZ4thatone]

LOL, that was very cute.

[The Lorax]

And she has some nice g u n s attached to her. She should showm as much as she wants.

[The Lorax]

OMG I meant "show 'em" not just "show"

[jpmagnum]

she is a hoot

[Yola]

Dogs and kids - now they will tell you if a person is the real deal. She is a hit!

[SteveDenver]

Yep, they're B.S. detectors without filters. When dogs and kids respond positively to me, I feel validated and successful at being a good guy.

I ENJOYED READING ALL THE COMMENTS MANY HAD ME REMEMBERING JAN 20 ALSO NOV 4 I HAVE TEARS FAILING AS I TYPE. I WANT TO SAY AS I FEEL GREAT ABOUT THE ELECTION OF OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA WE MUST STAY KEEP SURPORTING HIM THEY ARE TRYING TO DRAG HIM DOWN AND BLAME HIM FOR EVERY THAT BUSH DESTROY. PLEASE HAVE FAITH IN HIM.

[roshni]

I completely agree with what you are saying but just a gentle reminder not to use all caps. People will think you are shouting and it's harder to read your post.

[KillgoreTrout43]

Your tears are, "failing?"

[applescruff]

In movies people like you are the heartless villians and empathetic people cheer thier demise. In the real world your just another heartless, pathetic loser incapable of empathy or accurately judging others . . Most of us still have faith in our fellow man and instinctively know what is genuine and what is not..and like it or not Michelle is the real deal. In that there is no doubt.
Take your pessimistic sarcasm and hit the road if you don't like the leaders your country's system has given you. Just know that it was your choices in leadership in the past that brought us to this point in history . If that is unacceptable to you, you have no one but yourself to blame.
