In January of 2009, Michelle Obama, the wife of President Barack Obama, became the First Lady of the United States. Like the first ladies who came before her, Mrs. Obama made plans to work on several issues while she had the noticeable position of First Lady. First and foremost, Mrs. Obama wanted to encourage national service. She had a long history of giving back to her community, and she wanted to encourage others to do the same. Second, Mrs. Obama supported community and organic produce gardening. She oversaw the planting of a White House vegetable garden to encourage Americans to follow her lead.
