Actually, it's the part that makes this a story as opposed to just an announcement. AKA announces Michelle Obama will be a member - okay, an announcement. Obama camp then throws in the term "non-exclusive" - now we've got a story. And it may all just boil down to a pr person in Obama's office who worded it poorly!

It will be interesting to see if she does really accept the membership down the road.

It's possible that she's been interested in AKA membership for a long time and understands herself what it will involve, but the PR folks didn't.

That's what I assumed.
