Michelle Obama 'particularly proud of my husband'
Daily Herald ^ | May 10, 2008 | David Beery

Michelle Obama, speaking as her husband may have the Democratic presidential nomination within his grasp, told a Chicago luncheon crowd Friday that she's more convinced than ever he is ready for the office.

"I'm particularly proud of my husband, who has handled himself with dignity and with strength and with grace," Obama said of the long campaign, as she addressed about 1,800 people, mostly women, at McCormick Place.

Obama, offering brief remarks before featured speaker Valerie Plame Wilson took the podium, hit the main talking points of her husband's campaign.

Introduced by U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, the luncheon's sponsor, as "the next first lady of the United States," Obama described roundtable discussions with women that she has hosted as she's campaigned across the country. Obama said she has heard repeatedly from women worried about inadequate health care and stagnant wages in the face of rising prices for food, fuel and other items.

We’re polar opposites Michelle. I’m extremely proud of my country and totally embarrassed of your husband.

The root cause of which, for the most part, is Democrats. Electing more dems to fix the very problems they caused has to be the definition of insanity.

No way can we allow another lawyer to be first lady.
There is too much ambition there. Next thing she’ll want to be a Senator and then President.
