"I don't want to miss my time either, Obama...I mean, Jerry"

Despite questions about the country's readiness for a black president, Barack Obama will win the race for the 2008 White House if he connects with Americans, his wife Michelle Obama told "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts in her first major morning television interview.
"I think that the American people ... are ready to have somebody that they can believe in and that they can connect to," Obama said in an interview that begins Tuesday. "And I think that if Barack does what he's supposed to do and this campaign is ... run well, and he can be clear and articulate in his message, ... he'll be the next president of the United States and ... we will be swearing him in in '08."
Michelle Obama contends that Americans want a new approach to politics that only her husband can offer.
"I think that people are tired," she said. "They're tired of ... the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics. People want to feel hopeful. People are tired of the fear-mongering. And Barack is really the only candidate, in my view, in this race at this time who offers that approach."
In the Democratic primaries, the freshman senator will face off against more experienced politicians, such as Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Joe Biden, D-Del., and former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.
"This [is a] rare opportunity where spirit, vision, hope, uniqueness, experience combine in this one individual at this point in time," she continued. "It's his time."
Campaigning for her husband's White House run has not been all about Barack, however. Michelle has come under fire for serving on the board of a company that is a major product supplier to Wal-Mart. Her husband has spoken out about Wal-Mart's labor practices.

If she really thinks 2008 is "his time," nothing else she says can surprise me.
This American doesn't believe in another liberal and I sure can't connect with the guy.
Anyone who would not want such a man is obviously a racists.
Does this mean that Barak has PMS?
For dog catcher it is.
She had time to say all this between aborting babies? Wow, she’s a girl on the go.
This means Obama has ED (erectile dysfunction). Remember when it was “Bob Dole’s time”? What did he get out of that? Those great Viagra commercials. It’s OK, Barak. It happens to everyone.
Well, excuse me as I differ with Mrs. B. Hussein—it ain’t nobody’s time until they are elected.
That was my original reaction - I almost added “of the month” to the title.
“It’s his time”
Is the guy having PMS, or what?
Michelle Obama .... an overpaid airhead same as her husband. Both are airhead cliché mongers. No gravitas. A nightmare if somehow they get into the White House
YAWN. We hear that same tired old line every election while the same old Rats (and Rinos) continue to play the same old tired politics. They keep fooling the same idiots with the same old "new politics" mantra so why change what works. Ugh.

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]
- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.
Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!
I agree, the PMS explanation is the most plausible.[wink]
After he finishes his second cookie and glass of milk, wipe his mouth, Michelle, hug him close for a couple minutes, and put him to bed! He’ll be ok. Bet he sleeps like a little baby.
Hey, it’s his turn and if you don’t vote for him, and ME, you’re a racist.
I cant connect to Obama, -—I dont like Muslims and he isnt even 2nd generation American He hasnt spent as much time in America as Arnold schwarzneggar. his mother was a Kansas adventuress,liberal who would screw anything not white. His father a Kenyan. He is a racist who hates whites. As for his truthfulness , Lets hear the story about how his mansion grew when he bought land from a crook again.
