(AP Photo/Elise Amendola) President and Michelle Obama have been lined up to appear on one of the final episodes of the Oprah Winfrey Show. The Obamas—who last made a joint appearance on Oprah in 2006—will tape an episode of the chat show later this month, and the show will be aired on May 2, reports the Los Angeles Times. Winfrey, who famously got off the sidelines to endorse Obama in 2007, hasn't addressed rumors that she'll take a less active role in Obama's 2012 campaign. (More Oprah Winfrey stories.)
