Michelle Obama

Health food enthusiast Michelle Obama participated in an #AskTheFirstLady question and answer session on Twitter.com yesterday.

One of the first questions (which was surely pre-planned) came from a well-known President Obama impersonator who asked Mrs. Obama how many calories she burns when she turns up. “Turn up” is ghetto slang for get down.

Mrs. Obama responded with a 6-second video of herself dancing with a turnip and asking “turn up for what?” — a take off on the Lil Jon rap song “Turn down For What”.

The video, which was posted on the White House Vine account, went viral.
