Wednesday Afternoon Diversion: Michelle Does the Dougie

By Kevin Robinson in Arts & Entertainment on May 4, 2011 8:00PM

Today, though, First Lady Michelle Obama is all over the internet showing the nation that she knows how to get down - doing the Dougie and the Running Man at Alice Dean Middle School. It's all part of her "Let's Move!" campaign, to encourage American children to exercise and be healthier. We call it awesome.
