Michelle Obama arrived at Oxford University yesterday with all the pizazz you’d expect of a wife of the President of the United States.
Armed police watched from the spires as her motorcade swept by, while secret service men talked into lapel mics.
But once indoors she immediately put a group of starstruck schoolgirls at ease
America’s mom-in-chief chatted away, telling them she fell for her “cute” husband because of the way he loved his mum – and revealing she still can hardly believe she lives in the White House.
She was showing the 35 students from a North London school why they could aspire to great things like her.
And the smiles on the faces of the 12 to 15-year-old girls as she hugged them proved why this First Lady is her husband’s most formidable secret weapon in his battle for re-election next year.
In an astonishingly candid and relaxed hour-long visit, Mrs Obama, 47, opened her heart to the girls whose achievements had so caught her imagination.
In April 2009 on her first official UK visit she had toured the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in a hard-hit area of London.
