In an interview in her office, Mrs. Obama said, “My hope is that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities.”

Can you imagine gardening while men dressed in black, strapped with all sorts of hardware watch over you? Crazy. But I do support what she's doing. Not just the homegrown thing, but what she says she's attempting to teach the youth. Solid.
