Transcript from Michelles "non-support-gate"

[KennedyGuy]

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.


Ah yes, tone. You mean like this?


"I'm confident that I will get her votes votes if I’m the nominee, it’s not clear that she would get the votes I got if she were the nominee.” - Barack Obama

Well, at least the Obama's are reading off of the same script, as people suck their Hope Soda up with a straw.

This just about tears it for me.

1. No Taylor...

You teared a long time ago. Don't act like this is the last straw. People aren't stupid.

13. yea, like she was in the fence about Obama

what a load.

it's almost insulting to the people who pay attention to her. (sadly I seem to be one of those).

4. uh-huh

The 'rough transcript' shows what a non-issue this is.

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.

[Gman]

5. I wonder what Michelle Obama's DU nick is?

She's obviously one of those that swear they'll never vote for Hillary in November.

Idiots, all.

[DemGa]

6. "it’s not clear that she would get the votes "

Well of course not, this whole ObamaNation is based on ATTACKING Clinton and embracing right-wing talking points. Oh yes, and the amorphous "yes we can."

7. troubling indeed

8. sad

9. I supported Obama after Edwards droppped until I read this. I am officially uncommitted.

I will vote for the nominee, I have no qualms about saying that.

10. "Working to support" her husband's opponent

question asked before Super Tuesday? And she's supposed to say something else? She answered quite correctly IMO. "You know, everyone in this party is going to work hard for whoever the nominee is."

I would like to see Bill asked that same question today.

11. If your quote had been the first thing out of her mouth, no one would have a problem with it.

The himming and hawing didn't sound so good.

It sounds like she wasn't prepared for this question, and may have actually spoken her mind.

I certainly hope that I'm wrong.

[Cameron27]

12. She's absolutely supposed to answer yes

to that question. Yes, period. No discussion.

[mzmolly]

15. Hillary Clinton made no bones about saying she'd support our nominee.

If Bill were askedt the same question, I expect he'd answer it in the same manner his wife did?

14. That says it all! This is NOT about THE COUNTRY for them. This is about

THE OBAMA'S! WTG, Michelle. Shame, shame, shame on you!
