Last time Barack Obama took a run at the White House, he promised his daughters a dog. Does 2012 come with the same kind of promise?
PARADE: One of our readers said that she wanted to know from you “Have you discussed with Mr. Obama his plans to run for reelection? Did he seek your opinion? If he asks you, what will you say?”
MICHELLE OBAMA: Yes, he’s running and he’s got my support. [laughter]
PARADE : Did he ask your advice?
MICHELLE OBAMA: Of course.
PARADE: And what is the girls’ bargaining chip this time?
MICHELLE OBAMA: They’ve got the dog, they’re fine.
PARADE: Bo’s not getting a mate?
MICHELLE OBAMA: You know, we’re not going to talk about that.
