No shrinking violet, Michelle Obama, the 43-year-old wife of presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told "Good Morning America" that she is a strong, professional woman and that her husband's ability to deal with her is one of the reasons Americans should elect him president.
Called Obama's closest adviser and his daily reality check, Michelle was raised on the south side of Chicago and is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law school. Today she juggles a career, duties as a wife and mother of two little girls and the role of campaigner.
I don't want to paint some unrealistic picture of who we are so that in the end, when it falls apart and if we haven't lived up to this unrealistic expectation, people feel let down in some way," Obama told anchor Robin Roberts. "This is who we are. I've got a loud mouth."

Ya but Elizabeth (I think that’s her name) Kucinich has a pierced tongue, she wins.
Yeah, just what we need.
I guess all the head bobbing and finger snapping during her previous interviews wasn't an act after all.
In other words...”If he can put up with my whiny, loud mouthed ass. He can put up with the American People.”
[waves finger]
I stopped reading right there. So anyone who has a loud-mouthed wife is qualified to be President? There's going to be a long, long line I expect.
So she’s magic too?
She’s got the loud mouth, grating voice AND the cankles of Hillary. She’s the whole package Baby, LOL!
"And you know what I'm a talkin 'bout girlfriend."
I know THAT’S what I’m looking for in a first lady. (/sarcasm)
yeah an opinionated mouthy first lady. That’s appealing.
“strong, professional woman” that needs her husband’s attendance on her job interviews—NO THANKS!
Why does she (Obama) remind me of McKinney?
Her legs are huge.
Sorry that wasn’t nice...I typed before I thought.
Yeah, but can she make cookies?
Saw that. Thought it best not to comment.
I’m sure she’s a very nice lady. (for a loudmouth)
well, thanks for pointing out that little gem, ACKKKK!
And a gigantic bum.
Funny, I stopped reading at that point as well. A woman who believes that is reason enough for her husband to pull the plug.
Yes, and it’s a racist loud mouth. The libs cannot avoid playing the race card.
I hope she’s as much fun as Teresa Heinz Kerry.
I gotta kinda like her personality. Too bad her political opinions are so dreadful.
sure sounds like it to me........now THAT will win an election. LOL
Why do I imagine that she gets her way in negotiations with the magic man?
A whipped president is a qualification?
I am your happening mama, Michelle Obama-Jama.
There, now I’ve said it, and by golly, I feel good about it!
As the brits would say , " She's Dead Common"
I never thought I would see a candidate’s spouse who was fuglier than Hillary. I was wrong. In most photos she looks like a man in drag. And an unattractive man at that.
Who knew, Girlfriend?
We will need it. Because after one year in office he would re-convert to Islam and become Obama al-Husseini, First Caliph of the Western Umma.
For people who loved Bill Clinton it is.
She makes Leila Ali look positively feminine!
She said the reason she hasn’t seen more respect for family values is because the country’s resources are all tied up in the war.
“All of our emotional and financial resources… as a country have been totally put into the war. We haven’t talked about the domestic issue in about 10 years,” she said. “There are no serious conversations about health care or education, or child care, or minimum wage. I mean, these are the basic issues that eat away at the family structure. So you can’t just tell, you know, a family of four to suck it up and make it work.”
Hey, Dems, PULEEZE nominate Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his loud-mouthed wife. Pretty please!!!
ROTFLMAO!
Actually, it is the liberal policies that have destroyed the family structure. Most started with Johnson's great society programs to buy votes, transfer wealth, encourage sloth, encourage out of wedlock babies.
This from a woman who shortly after her husband being elected US Senator landed a six-figure job as volunteer coordinator for UofChicago hospital.
Health care? Child care? Minimum wage? Another lawyer who never read the Constitution. I love how these elitists sympathize with the poor working people. And if this is what Princeton and Harvard are producing, the Ivy League is in worse shape than I thought.
A black woman from the South Side of Chicago with a loud mouth???? Well color me suprised (rolling eyes).
uppity
Finish your sentence, Elizabeth: “...for a husband.”
er, Michelle.
(D’oh!)
Not another Hillary in waiting. That’s enough tune me out.
No more assets to my husband(even though I am better)bs women.
She is quoted in the ABC article as “and we will be swearing him in in 2008.”
Someone tell this dimwit that the President-elect in 2008, whoever that is, will not be inaugurated, or sworn in, until January 20, 2009.
And she is supposed to be so intelligent?
Another Jocelyn Elders?
Today she juggles a career, duties as a wife and mother of two little girls and the role of campaigner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She sure has it tough doesnt she?
I wonder what a single mother in the ghetto with two kids and a Grandma watching them would have to say.
If it’s a Hillary/Obama ticket, I can only imagine the catfights between Michelle Obama and Her Thighness!
