"TalkLeft" misquotes question that Michelle Obama was asked! All the threads here are false.

[jenmito]

She was asked, "Could you see yourself WORKING TO SUPPORT Hillary Clinton should she get the nomination?" Her answer to THAT was, "I would have to think about that..."

Video with misquoted question: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/2/4/124123/6787

1. Video, schmideo ...

where can I find a full transcript? I'm interested in what was said which led to it.

[jenmito]

3. The site that claimed Michelle saying she won't support Hillary only shows that small part

of the video. But it misstates her position. She did NOT say she wouldn't support Hillary if she's the nominee. That's a misquote.

I believe this plays most if not all of the interview

[tammywammy]

18. I agree

I hate these little snippet "gotchas" people post. :)

[Lucinda]

2. It was the wrong answer.

[jenmito]

4. She was asked if she'd WORK TO SUPPORT her. The small article misrepresented the question

AND answer.

[Metric System]

5. It really doesn't sound much better!

[jenmito]

7. Did she say what the article quoted her as saying?

[rucky]

9. It makes it a non issue. n/t

[Neshanic]

12. Actually it sounds worse. +

[KennedyGuy]

21. sure does..amazing people lose comprehension skills when idol worship kicks in

[jenmito]

23. TalkLeft lied. The video and transcript proves it. Stay in denial all you want. It doesn't

make it true.

[VolcanoJen]

8. Yeah, I suspected it was a context thing.

Excellent work at smacking down yet another phony outrage controversy, jenmito!! :thumbsup:

[rucky]

10. it usually is.

none of the candidates have really made serious gaffes, but you wouldn't know it from this place.

[jenmito]

11. It wasn't even JUST a context thing. They misquoted her.

Thanks, VolcanoJen! :hi:

13. Talk Left = Taylor Marsh = Shills = Cesspools

Talk left is run by jeralyn a lawyer who goes out of her way on the site to stick up for slimey lawyers who are her buddies even when they defend horrendous criminals. Armando is a LOSER and closet HillaryShill. That site has no credibility as they shill for hillary. Like taylor Marsh they distort EVERYTHING about Obama to favor Billary.
So take it for what it is worth

NOTHING

see the full video read the transcript.
Michele said that the entire democratic party will be behind the nominee.
She has every right to think about how SHE will support Hillary.

[jenmito]

17. Thank you. n/t

[KennedyGuy]

14. transcript..no mis-quote

Here's a rough transcript of Mrs. Obama on GMA:


GMA: Could you see yourself working to support Hillary Clinton should she win the nomination?

MICHELLE OBAMA: I'd have to think about that. I'd have to think about that, her policies, her approach, her tone.

GMA: That's not a given?

MICHELLE OBAMA: You know, everyone in this party is going to work hard for whoever the nominee is. I think that we're all working for the same thing. And, you know, I think our goal is to make sure that the person in the White House is going to take this country in a different direction. I happen to believe that Barack is the only person who can really do that.

[jenmito]

16. Thanks. You proved me right. It does NOT show her saying, as they quote,

"I'd have to think about supporting Clinton if she's the nominee."

[KennedyGuy]

19. fight with the transcript..

I posted what was said..take it up with Michelle...

[jenmito]

22. THE TRANSCRIPT YOU POSTED PROVES YOU WRONG. CAN'T YOU READ?

[KennedyGuy]

24. your caps are stuck..

and the transcript proves my point..
we report..you decide...
fair and balanced..

[jenmito]

25. Show me the quote from the transcript you posted that matches what TalkLeft "quoted."

[KennedyGuy]

26. here ya go

GMA: Could you see yourself working to support Hillary Clinton should she win the nomination?

MICHELLE OBAMA: I'd have to think about that. I'd have to think about that, her policies, her approach, her tone.

[jenmito]

28. You did NOT show her saying what TalkLeft SAID she said! Try again!

[KennedyGuy]

30. I'd rather go reason with a brick..

you see only what you want to see..enjoy.

[jenmito]

31. I see the transcript and the video-neither of which shows her saying what TL SAID she said, not to

mention they implied the question asked of her was whether or not she'd support Hillary. It was NOT the question asked.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

20. I don't have to worry about whether I'll work on her campaign. Fuck no.

She'll get my vote. That's it.

[bigtree]

27. That's not any better

[jenmito]

29. TalkLeft lied. Period.
