CNN hosting video Q & A for First Lady's second anniversary celebration; deadline is Feb. 7...First Lady Michelle Obama is taking a page from President Obama's virtual playbook, and answering questions submitted via video about her Let's Move! initiative. CNN is running the project, ahead of the second anniversary of the campaign, which Mrs. Obama will celebrate next week with a visit to Des Moines, Iowa.
"Interested parties can post a video for Mrs. Obama by noon ET on Tuesday, February 7," CNN said, asking that these be kept short: "under 15 seconds works best for video questions." The network also invited participants to "share an update from your community on how people are combating childhood obesity."
In Iowa, Mrs. Obama will host an event at the Wells Fargo Arena, joined by thousands of kids and Gov. Terry Branstad, the Republican leader who has adopted his predecessor's Healthiest State program, a public-private partnership with a goal of making Iowa the nation’s healthiest state by 2016. The project is the key reason Mrs. Obama is visiting Des Moines, according to an aide.
"I’m looking forward to visiting Des Moines and celebrating all that Let’s Move! and Iowa have done to help our kids lead healthier lives," Mrs. Obama said.
The First Lady celebrated the one-year anniversary of her campaign in 2011 in Georgia, with a speech at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta and a visit to Burgess-Peterson Academy in Atlanta. She launched the campaign at the White House event in 2010. An overview of the campaign is here.
President Obama on Monday held his first-ever virtual interview from the White House.
