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.

I am so sick of the MSM and their obsession with race. If we reject Obama it has nothing to do with his skin color; it is because of his ideas and convictions.
Besides, how can he be called “black” if his mother is white? Does that make him gray?
couldn’t agree with ya more. obama/osama is a fraud of the highest order, shoved down the our throats by the msn. as soon as hillary has had enough of this little fake biting at her ankles, her attack machine will swing into action and it is game over. thanks for your service in the NG also. they don’t get near the recognition they should.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, NO SORRY DOESN’T DO IT FOR ME!
Yeah, he’s looking a little puffy.
Maybe a couple Midol would help.
Hey Michelle-
Has your husband admitted to having a white grandmother yet, or is he planning to keep her in the closet until after the election?
they have been waiting for 2 years for it...
“If [Obama’s] mother is white, does that make him gray?”
Heh, heh! Obama’s white heritage just might wind up Confederate gray. Something about being descended from slaveowners, hmmmmm?
Good one! LOL
David Palmer....((sigh))
Obama has No experience administratively..and that Job is a Heavy admin decision making Job ..he doesn’t have it!
No, it's Miller time.
