Michelle Obama’s reign as First Lady officially began today, and she’s already getting things done:

Michelle Obama stepped into the public-policy spotlight as first lady for the first time on Thursday, hailing a new law that will give women greater power to challenge sex discrimination in the workplace.

Standing below a portrait of Lincoln in the State Dining Room of the White House, Mrs. Obama described pay equity as “a top and critical priority for women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, older women, younger women, women with disabilities and their families.’’

Mrs. Obama said the legislation, which was signed into law by President Obama on Thursday, symbolized her commitment and her husband’s to ensure that policies are put in place to “help women and men balance their work and family obligations without putting their jobs or their economic security at risk.

Michelle O. is going to be rubbing elbows with some pretty powerful and influential people, while getting on the job training for the next 8 years.  Hmmm…

The name, Obama, is already synonymous with being president; could she, y’all?
