Daily Beast reporter, Louis Romano, profiles Michelle Obama for upcoming issue of Newsweek.

Romano said Obama is down to earth. She figured out how to use her platform as first lady — based on her own terms.

“She wants to use it for helping young people, for helping the underclass, for mentoring,” Romano said. “That’s her story, and she’s sticking with it.”

According to Romano, Mrs. Obama has been working on projects like military families and childhood obesities. Plus, balancing out taking care of her family and being “mom-in-chief.”

“She was working extremely hard,” Romano said. “She wad doing it slightly under the radar.”
