Barack and Michelle Obama hit up "American Idol"

The President and the First Lady of the United States will be appearing soon on "American Idol." News of their appearance has spread across the internet. Initial rumors suggested that they would appear together in the actual show. But, that will not be the case.

Instead, the Obamas will be making an appearance through live video as opposed to being there. Their appearance is going to be during a results show. While they aim to have fun during their appearance, Barack and Michelle are there on business. The episode has already taped, but their appearance is to help raise money.

The Children’s Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More, Save the Children’s U.S. Programs and the United Nations Foundation, are the foundations that the fundraisers are for. The episode will air on April 21, 2010.
