Michelle Obama, Morning Joe, Novmber 2007
Advertisements [?]
Q: Given the debate over whether he's been too passive...he's gotten a lot of unsolicited advice...what is (yours)?
MICHELLE:
...We talked about this before we entered the race...(O)ur view is that we're not doing this to win...(Y)ou can't win at all costs...(T)he press is...kind of...saying, "If you want to win you've got to kill her; you've got to rip her apart." If that's the only way you can win...(it's) no wonder we're such a divided country...If Barack wants to be a different kind of leader, then his approach to victory has to be different...I say...(it's)...the nation's challenge...(W)hen you're handed someone who's decent...a uniter...honest...and then you get it and...freak out...question it and...worry...that's on us...not the candidates...(T)he point isn't winning, it's...changing America, it's changing the way you live...

Q: The polls are showing your husband trailing Hillary...in the African-American community...
MICHELLE:
...That's not going to hold...I'm completely confident (that) black America will wake up and get it...What's we're dealing with in the black community is the natural fear of possibility...It comes from...the horrible legacies of racism and oppression...

A year ago she said this--a YEAR ago!
