Michelle Obama: I'll "Think About" Supporting Hillary

This morning on Good Morning America:

ROBERTS: So what if Senator Clinton defeats her husband, becoming the first woman nominee. Could you see yourself working to support the first woman nomination?

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

ROBERTS: That's not a given?

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.

The negativity here is just awful. If Obama doe win the nomination, someone will have to counsel his wife to think before she speaks.

On a more positive note:
Has anyone noticed that all the Republican wives stand silently by their husbands' sides with smiles glued to their faces and lots of hairspray? It is like the 50's revisited.

The question was: "Do you see yourself WORKING to support [HLC]?" Unlike the people sensationalizing and commenting here, Michelle Obama actually listened to the question and answered it. Wouldn't you think about who you would work for?

Phony headline. Phony issue.

Michelle Obama is about the only person on the planet who would ever be able to convince me to pull the lever for Clinton. And even then I'd have to think about it too.

For those who are interested in the truth, here is a site that has the full clip. It is the second clip.

Wow - the first lady from hell - maybe she better stick to trying out cookie recipes if she can't do better than this.

YIKES!!!! You folks are losing your minds over 17 seconds of an INCOMPLETE sentence. This is the real America. I am an Obama supporter, but with this sort of exchange on this post, the man has no hope.

Please get some help or take the energy you use here to so vehemently oppose each other and volunteer for your candidate of choice. You certainly are doing both Hillary and Obama an injustice by ripping each other to shreds. I know there are some folks who are 30, 40, 50 and even 60 years old acting like it's high school.

Jesus, Buddah, Jehovah, somebody help us.......

My Brothers and Sisters.

We fight each other in our family room

but we would fight to the death on the street to protect our sibling.

The Big Guns will be out soon enough.

Save our energy. We will need it.

who does this bitch think she is? her tone? talk about arrogance.

[BobBrown]

Please do not twist Michelle's statement. She clearly said that whoever gets nominated will receive support from the other side

I don't want either of them. You at least feel you have one good choice. California votes tomorrow and the real election isn't until November, but we have only two candidates being shoved at us. Well, guess what. I'm not voting for either Obama or Clinton in the primary. I have as much right to my vote as someone in New Hampshire (what's their population?) I hope California votes for someone better than either of those two.

Isn't there someone monitoring this site? The horrid comments about Mrs. Obama need to come down. (And I am not voting for Obama.) It's just human decency. How dare you all? Please, Monitor (I feel like this is The Truman Show) will you please get rid of some of this venom. This is not free speech. It's disgusting and is damaging to us and to everyone who reads it. (And to Huffington Post.)

Huffingtonpost is misrepresenting what Michelle Obama said and should remove the story. Asked if she would work to support Hillary she said she didn't know but then she said she would support the Democratic nominee.
Shame on Huffington Post!

Michell Obama and Bill Clinton need to both keep their mouths shut.

[Oriana]

I can't believe all this racist hate. I don't want to believe it! Black bitch? I'd like to collectively wash your mouths out with soap. You should be ashamed of yourselves - she was being honest. Apparently being un-programmed and honest brings out the racism in fools.

[JosephWouk]

It was a dumb question, looking to create trouble.

Her best answer would probably have been, "I believe my husband is going to win. If Hillary wins, you can ask me then...

Anyhow, it's desperation time for the Clinton campaign if they're making any issue out of this non=starter of an issue. So paid shills, take heed!
