Michelle Obama: "It's been a challenge. But one of the things we do best, along with the other things that we do best, is meet challenges."

President Obama: "Has the level of love surprised me? Not really. People keep saying,'Oh, the press loves you, oh, the American people love you,' and I say, 'Fine,' but first and foremost, I love me. I love me very very much. And that's what keeps you going."

We caught up with the First Couple on an Air Force One flight over New York City.

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Strange? No, not really.
