Photos First Lady Obama Visits the Obscure USTR- Is Area 51 Next?

This is Gina. First Lady Michelle Obama  was SERIOUS when she said she was going on a welcome tour of every single federal agency. Friday, she ended up at the office of the United States Trade Representative ( USTR). Most people have never head of it :) . That’s where her current Secretary Julianna Smoot worked prior to heading to the White House.  Ron Kirk is US Trade Representative.

I only know about USTR because one of my law school classmates REALLY wanted to work there for some reason. I also once contributed to Ron Kirk’s Senate campaign. He lost :(

We want to thank the bloggers at the Office of the US Trade Representative for these lovely public domain photos.

Excellent work!

So which federal agencies have been left out?

If she shows up at Area 51 next month, then I will just fall out. Y’all will have to come pick me up off the floor.  Every time she visits an agency, she highlights the work that the employees do so it ends up being a civics/government lesson as well.

Y’all have a lovely Easter Weekend. We’ll be here going gah gah over the little kiddies running around the White House law for the Easter Egg Roll.
