You might have been wearing dark glasses, Michelle, but we saw you shopping at Target. What were you after? One of the two-for-one bikini bargains? The White House isn't talking, but a source tells People magazine that she picked up toys and food for First Dog Bo in the Virginia store yesterday. She walked out with two bulging plastic bags. "It is not uncommon for the first lady to slip out to run an errand, eat at a local restaurant or otherwise enjoy the city outside the White House gates," said her spokeswoman. Maybe she was shopping for votes. She declared in the 2008 election that she was "more of a Target shopper" than a Wal-Mart consumer, notes CBS News. (More Target stories.)
