Michelle Obama: "I'm A Big Fan Of Accessories. I'm Married To One"

Michelle Obama had a little fun at her husband's expense on the campaign trail in North Carolina, The Raleigh News & Observer reports:

Michelle Obama tried to humanize her husband and their lives -- from the heavy college debts they incurred from their Harvard law school days to having her mother watch her children while on the campaign trail.

And in Winston-Salem she poked a little fun.

"I'm a big fan of accessories," she said after mentioning the outfit
of Mayor Pro Tem Vivian Burke. "I'm married to one.

"Just kidding."

The Obamas really scare me. Did anyone notice that these guys are socialists?
"This is what she said at a North Carolina campaign stop, and I quote. "The truth is most Americans don`t want much. Folks don`t want the whole pie." I do. But I have a fat man screaming to get out of me. "Most Americans feel blessed to thrive just a little bit." Well, good, let`s lower the bar. "But that`s out of reach for them." And then she continued, "The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so someone else can have more.""

I do not know about you, but I want as big a piece of pie as I can get. That is scary stuff... Do NOT vote for these people.

thanks for reading.

I am really sick and tired of hearing them talk about their school loans. I have tens of thousands of dollars in school loans, but I know that if I am making over a hundred thou a year (which they have been making times 3,4,5,6,10 for over a decade now) I could get them paid off in no time. I really want to know why it took two people making a million dollars a year so long to pay off their school loans? For those of us making 50,000/year with the same amount of school loans, we don't want to hear your whiny story.

The insanity.

She's talking about her husband being handsome. She is married to him as she has been for years. She has every right to say whatever she wants about her husband, the man she has been married to for years. I am sure that Barack has been hearing Michelle speak this way about him for years. This isn't the first time she has admitted (and I have to agree) that he is one fine man. Any woman would be proud.

You people need to lay off the kool-aid.

Go Michelle Obama!!!

ccmd,
I agree with you. I'm not a Obama political suporter, but I do enjoy watching a couple that seems to have a great relationship.

[speakyourmind]

She might as well have just pulled his balls out of her purse and waived them in the air for the cheering crowd. I love Mr. Obama, but I can't say I feel the same about the Mrs.

[jeter2]

I think Barack ought to get himself a nice accessory...a mistress.

[goodtomeetyou]

Jeter2, we'll leave that hobby to Bill Clinton.

[speakyourmind]

I guess some people find it humorous or empowering to immasculate one's husband in public. Sheesh!

[jeter2]

Barack you deserve a mistress.

[Seattlelite]

So because you're confident that means your arrogant?

What exactly have the Obama's "done or said" to be labeled as arrogant? Kinda of reminds me of the jim crow days - don't want the negro's getting to uppity.

And for those who didn't get her joke, she was calling her husband good looking -- I guess they'll be labeled as being conceded now.

Lame...can't they afford writers with all their money?

[Independentjunkie]

I guess she is proud of her accessories for THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE!

Michelle obama is ghetto smart!

[faretheewell]

OMG, a real woman as First Lady! Perish the thought. What will we do with a smart, personable and down to earth person.

[stringer]

Get a sense of humor people.

And yeah, gosh it's ashame Barack and Michelle Obama are so "smug." It's not like getting elected to the Senate and being within a hair's breadth of the presidency is anything to be proud of. They should be cringing in fear (like all black people) and keep their children locked up.

Since when have the Clintons been so modest? I'm sorry even Bill Clinton's own supporters admitted he was extremely "smug", "cocky" and "arrogant." One of our most "smug" presidents ever. So why the problem now?

I can't help but think, since pretty much every presidential couple has been smug, it has something to do with them being black. Otherwise what else is it? And do you or do you not have the same problem with Bill Clinton?

[happycat]

Its hard to be modest when you and your hubby have made $109 million dollars in 7 years.

[scm75]

I totally agree. Why do so many Clinton supporters bash Obama as "smug"? What's smug is going on record as saying that you'll have the nomination wrapped up after Super Tuesday.
Going on to later demand that we not "disenfranchise" the rest of the voters after things don't go your way, well that's just two-faced...

I have to say that I am a huge Obama supporter but his wife needs to put a lid on it. She definately doesn't have the charisma that her husband has been blessed with and while I appreciate her attempt at wit it just doesn't come across that well.

I am sure she is a very smart, gracious person but not the best on the political front. I think I would let her husband do the talking. :) GO OBAMA!

[candidpsychiatrist]

She's bragging about how good-looking her husband is. Duh!!!

[speakyourmind]

The man is the leading candidate to be the President of the United States. An "accessory"? Really? Bragging isn't what the woman was doing. Chopping his balls off in front of the country was more like it.

[Mollye]

Nice picture - Don't they look smug?

[realitycheck2008]

This isn't the first time she has made a job at her husband's expense.
