NEW YORK (AP) - What does Michelle Obama think is the best thing she's done since arriving in the White House?

Inauguration Day? Nope. First puppy? Negative. Triumphal tour of Europe? Not even.

Mrs. Obama calls her appearance today on "Sesame Street" probably the best thing she's done since becoming first lady.

Mrs. Obama says she never thought she'd be on "Sesame Street" with Elmo and Big Bird. She says she's "thrilled."

The first lady spoke at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, where on a more serious note, she thanked the diplomats and staff
members promoting her husband's new foreign policy of global engagement.

It would be nice if her daughters were there also. A trip to Sesame Street would have been a great adventure for those two girls.

I think we were joking about the press corp and the cast of characters in the House and Senate.

Don’t wear out the race card on something so trivial.

I always thought they seemed to be moved by someone pulling their string, but apparently it was because a hand was shoved up their butt so they could speak, wave their hand or kick a leg.

She lives in Never-Never Land now so Sesame Street shouldn’t be that much of a change.
Big Bird Biden, Countess Von Noclueitano, Tickle me Elmo Gibbs, Cookie Monster Barney F., Grover Spector, Murray Monster Murtha, Baby Natasha Pelosi, Herry Monster Reid, and the rest of the gang…...

At first glance I thought she was visiting with Uh Err Gibbs and the White House press corp.
