World Record
As part of the “Let's Move!” initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama and a group of schoolchildren gathered on the White House's South Lawn to do jumping jacks together.
The goal was to break the Guinness World Record for the number of people doing jumping jacks over 24 hours. The record was broken with over 300,000 people participating worldwide.
Nickname
Obama got the nickname “The Closer” because of how she could convince a crowd to vote. Democratic strategist Stephanie Cutter said, “She knows how to inspire and motivate.”
