"She said that if Hillary Clinton bests her husband for the Democratic nomination, she'd support the nominee
"Everyone in this party is going to work hard for whoever the nominee is. I think we're all working for the same thing. Our goal is to make sure the person in the White House is going to take this country in a different direction. I happen to believe Barack is the only person who can really do that," she said.

1. Its sad that the spouse of a Democratic Candidate

even has to say that. Who else would she vote for? Huckabee?

[jezebel]

3. I agree, but some people are trying to spin what she said as otherwise. NT

9. She opened that door up so she had to shut it herself

While there may have been some "spin" involved, it was she who put a top on the table and handed the media the string to pull to begin with.

12. Watch the video....

she DID say she would have to "think about" supporting Clinton.

[Windy]

7. I know if this sort of stuff keeps up from the Hillary camp, I and others will sit out the election!

This is getting beyond ridiculous. If you can't win an election by being above board and honest and by sticking to the issues, then you don't deserve to represent the people of this country.

[BlackVelvet04]

15. Oh, windy, windy....

watch the video. You're looking very silly.

[Windy]

18. I have. HRC supporters are becoming increasingly nasty and are engaging in dirty little games.

I'm fed up frankly.

[BlackVelvet04]

24. ah, yes, and the Obama supporters have been angels and

all that is good. :eyes:

2. She also made that other comment. I almost fell off my chair when I heard it.

The other stuff was a bit of a backtrack, but there was a harshness to her tone when she made that "problematic" remark.

4. And the truth shall set you free!!!!

Lets see if the HRC lemmings respond to this thread the way they have responded to an earilier thread that mischaracterized Michelle Obama's interview!

[scheming daemons]

5. Michelle Obama has twice the character of either Clinton....

...she would be an AWESOME first lady...

[MADem]

14. They are going to rerun that interview on NIGHTLINE. It wasn't mischaracterized.

And if they don't cut it to shit, you'll see that Mrs. Obama didn't do her husband ANY favors with that portion of the interview.

The interviewer was gunning for some contentious commentary, but she should not have risen to the bait. She did. And then, she wouldn't shut up. It sounded both harsh AND personal.

[Windy]

19. It was a good interview. It will only help her husband. nt

8. Got her ass on camera quick! that little faux pas could have proven injurious!

[Neshanic]

10. So timewise how long did that "correction" take?

[BlackVelvet04]

11. so after she felt the heat for her original statement

she backtracked and made some shit up.

[Didereaux]

13. can't say as to time, but I am impressed with the speed! wonder if they will send her to Samoa? he

[grrr050]

20. Why is that a different version of what.......

I heard this morning? She said she going to think about supporting HRC. Did she changer her mind now? Unbelievable!

[Mass]

22. Listen to the video - It is not what the question was.

[TexasObserver]

16. I would expect nothing less.

[goclark]

17. I was there for her awesome Speech at the Rally

yesterday.

She is her husband's equal as a Speaker and that is a high bar to reach.

She is also down to earth, brilliant and passionate about her husband and this country.

I'm sure there will be those who will jump all over anything that comes out of the mouth of anyone connected to the Obama campaign.

In the lead up to the campaign,I want to believe that all of us are tired and working non stop for the candidate of our choice -- I'm sure that Michelle Obama is tired this morning.


She was FIRED UP and Ready to go when I had the joy of attending the Rally yesterday.

Got to go ~ after reading some of the negatives on this thread, I am totally motivated to make 100 more phone calls today for OBAMA!

:bounce:

21. Given that she had never said otherwise, it is not surprising/

She was asked if she would WORK to support the nominee if it was not Obama. Given that she is not a political figure, it was a rather silly question.
